And now, after being caught repeating an untrue statement, you follow it up with another untrue statement.
When did we become the Sith? WTF happened to peace and commerce with all nations?
This depends on one's mental health and how this affects one's outlook... So, its OK, T....your "philosophy" , and I hope that you are smart enough NOT to posses a gun....as I am... After all, bullets have no effect on ghosts.
Okay, here you go:
but Glaspie's cable has been released at the Bush Library and placed online by the Margaret Thatcher Foundation.
“ We can see that you have deployed massive numbers of troops in the south. Normally that would be none of our business, but when this happens in the context of your threats against Kuwait, then it would be reasonable for us to be concerned. For this reason, I have received an instruction to ask you, in the spirit of friendship — not confrontation — regarding your intentions: Why are your troops massed so very close to Kuwait's borders?
“ We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America.
As I said, I'm an Isolationist. Peace and Commerce with all nations has NEVER been part of my ideology.
wait...you don't believe in "commerce" with all nations? just where the hell am I supposed to get my scotch?
I see that as more of a "we're ok if you use whatever means necessary to resolve your dispute with Kuwait" not so much "we're ok if you invade an annex Kuwait.".
A majority of us are conservatives, sadly...When did we become the Sith? WTF happened to peace and commerce with all nations?
Seems to me that whoever told you that selectively forgot to mention that those UNMOVIC, UNCSOM and ISG "fancy weapons inspectors" found a huge amount of WMDs in Iraq. Did that very relevant and factual piece of history get lost in their obviously partisan memory hole?Remember those fancy weapons inspectors? They had the best intelligence, and it was right
According to Tigger...no where...alcohol should be illegal
wait...what?
I don't like it whatsoever that oil dependency controls our military policy, especially knowing we have other options. Drive Electric: Military - YouTube
That's not the say I think President Bush was not fully convinced Saddam Hussein was on the path of having WMDs that he would use directly or indirectly against the American people and led the nation to war with Iraq over nothing greater than his concern for us. What I'm saying is the complex circumstances that led to the war were created by the monopoly petroleum had and still has over the American people and our ability in engage in commerce. The quicker we have other viable transportation energy options, the better for a peaceful world and I think over the mid term, a more robust US economy.

IIRC it was May 17, 1987I...wah? when did Saddam declare war on us?
in terms of his foreign policy? yes.
Yes, it was the right thing given the fact that many nations believed Sadam had WMDs. We should do the same to Iran soon. Regardless, the world is better without Sadam.
That's your problem. If I believed that consumable alcohol was proper I'd suggest making it yourself, though you'd obviously have to wait quite a while to get the good stuff.
figure I'd split some hairs here...it's true that plenty of conservatives are hawks, but some of the most vocal doves are also on the right. likewise the progressive movement seems to be split as well, plenty of progressive hawks out their pushing humanitarian intervention...this is one of my major problems with the whole left/right paradigm it's served to pigeon-hole ideologies and limit the voice of any viable peace movement.

So, I would like to probe a little further on this. It has been demonstrated through multiple outlets, and from multiple people with in the DOD and the intelligence community, that said the level of certainty being portrayed, did not match the level of reliability, when it comes to the information that led us believe WMD's existed within Iraq. So, knowing what we know now about how that intelligence came to be, you would say it was the right thing to do? Regarless of whether or not the world is better off without Saddam. That's not why we went to Iraq, we were told we were going into Iraq because Saddam had WMD's, that could be selling to terrorist, with the intention of harming Americans. That was the narrative and the jusdification for invading a sovereign nation like we did.
hell yeah he did...trade with the "good" guys, bomb the "bad" guys.I'm still wondering if Clinton even HAD a foreign policy.
:lol:For that matter what was a Janet Reno?

hell yeah he did...trade with the "good" guys, bomb the "bad" guys.
