Aarontology: At this point voting for the GOP is voting for more wars in the Middle East.

Four More Wars! Four More Wars!

sweetmelissa31: xanadian: Yeah, we should just do like Obama and only have limited airstrike engagements as directed under the NATO treaty.

If it's big war vs. mini war, I'd go for the mini war. Just saying.

If it's mini war vs. mini bar, I'll go for the mini bar every time.

Did Romney bet $10,000 he could make this vault?

brigid_fitch: I was listening to McCain this morning blaming Obama for pulling out troops. Hellooo...BUSH set the timetable, remember? And Obama tried to keep troops there but Malaki wouldn't negotiate another SOFA agreement, so we left. Stop pandering--you're not campaigning anymore.

I feel like making a joke that's SOFA King funny, but why bother?

Triple Lindy?

Triple Flip has nothing on the Triple Lindy...

Nadie_AZ: CitizenTed: FTA: "If we knew at the time of our entry into Iraq that there were no weapons of mass destruction, if somehow we had been given that information, obviously we would not have gone in."

Hans Blix, Scott Ritter and Joe Wilson would like to have a few words with you on that one.

We went into Iraq for one reason and one reason only (according to everyone around me who supported it): Nine. Eleven.

No, we went to bring freedom to the Eye-rackis.

// nothing about how the WMD Saddam supposedly had were the ones that we sold him in the 1980s?

Iraq 2 Electric Bugaloo was the biggest foreign policy blunder we've had in the last 2 decades.

I'm trying to think. Are you sure it wasn't even longer? What foreign policy disaster since the Vietnam War was greater?

And the four countries I would invade are Iran, Syria, Yemen, and... I can't remember the last country. Oops.

That isn't a flip flop, that is hindsight.

"Well of course not. The president went in based upon intelligence that they had weapons of mass destruction. Had he known that that was not the case, the U.N. would not have put forward resolutions authorizing this type of action.

Well that certainly is one way of putting it. Another would be that we went in dispite having no record of weapons of mass destruction. Yet another would be that George Bush saw 9/11 as a perfect way to settle a grudge and had his staffers hype the threat of weapons of mass destruction that would whip the public into enough of a fear driven frenzy that he could claim a mandate to invade, weapons be damned.

...the U.N. would not have put forward resolutions authorizing this type of action.

The U.N. authorized the invasion of Iraq?

On September 16, 2004 Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan, speaking on the invasion, said, "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN Charter. From our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal.

gilgigamesh: Mugato: I'll never understand why they just didn't plant the goddamned WMDs in the first place if that was the bullshiat reason that they were trying to sell to the people for the invasion.

I don't think it would be that easy to cover up. And if the truth came out... whoo boy.

What, people would get mad at the administration for invading Iraq under false pretenses?

Hahahaha. Yea, ok.

Um ... Iran hostage crisis? That's about all I can think of.

Which, funny enough, ties back in with the whole program we had of furnishing Iraq with chemical weapons in order to use them as a pawn against Iran. But remember everyone, we're the good guys.

I keep thinking Reagan must've done something colossally stupid during his tenure and yet I can't think of any ... Not like any arms deals to the enemy or funding the wrong people in the wrong parts of the world for some cause that might later come back to haunt the country ...

He was fight Communism my friend, and for that all his sins were washed away in a bath of Bald Eagle tears.

I'm sensing sarcasm in this remark, almost as if you're trying to imply that Reagan was anything but the greatest president we've ever had.

That's exactly what happened. People don't really believe otherwise... do they?

Seriously. What Bush really cared about was the Iraqi People who were being oppressed. . . .



Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha h ahahahahaha

Got to pander HARD to the military-industrial-media complex who own this country's political system.

Can't win without them on your side.
