thats strange, as someone who is so suporrtive of the iraq war i would expect you to be opossed to Saddam Husein .I must have been wrong as you admire the guy who suporrted saddam during the iran-iraq war in which saddam commited many of the atrocities [with our help] that we heard oh-so-much about in the run up to the latest invasion, . Funny old world............

I was trying to point out the fact that in times of war countries sometimes have strange allies...............I guess you did not get that part.....:roll:

Well how is a mass murderer the lesser of two evils? Espicially as out of dozens of murderous dictatorships suporrted by the u.s it was saddam who was toppled. Clearly he must have been in a completely different league to the others in that he was so murderous not only did the u.s stop suporrting him, they invaded. How can someone so murderous be considered the lesser of two evils?

But, you also stated that you supported Churchill and the such at, what would have been 4 years old to 7 years old.
Did you vote for Roosevelt then too?

The point I am trying to make to you and you are not getting it is in a time of war sometimes your allies are not exactly what you want them to be like in Churchill and Stalin.........

You always do that Caine when your proven wrong on a point....Our country was allies with Stalin.......Of course I could not vote a 7...

If that's the point you were trying to make, you weren't very clear.

You have stated that you were born in 1937, and as Caine pointed out, that would place you between the ages of 4 and 7 during WW2. I highly doubt that at those ages, you were capable of "supporting" Roosevelt and Churchill, as you would have been too young to fully grasp what was happening.

I think that's the point that Caine is trying to make.

OK, OK I supported Reagan with Saddam for the same reasons Churchill and Roosevelt supported Stalin in WW2...........Does that clear it up for you?

Yes, but you were a bit rude about your response, and I can't speak for Caine, but I figured I'd jump in and help the guy out a bit.

What does it matter if Red Dave is only 17? World War II IS taught in high school, ya know.
 
Navy Pride.....

Dude relax. I was just picking at you man :smile:

Yes, I agree that you sometimes have to make alliances with foolz you just don't really like.

Hell, weren't we trying to make friends with China so they can pressure North Korea to simmer down?

Or did I hear the hear that wrong?
I didin't really pay much attention to anything other than the headline with that story a while back.

How dare you, there's only a week and a halfish until the Bears first playoff game, you should be preparing! (Especially considering that I'm assuming your rooting for Carolina, and we will teach them a new definition of the word PAIN!)

lol, if they make it to the AFC championship that'll be surprising.

Keep in mind, when you beat us, we still had Orton playing (the guy who managed to only pass for 68 yards vs. the PACKERS)
Now we've got Manning, so if, by some fluke, you make it to the Super Bowl, we'll be waiting to demolish you guys!

That was a painful game to watch, at least until I finished my 2nd bottle of boone's farm.

Don't care. I ALWAYS support the my home team.

Even when it's a sucky team like the Vikings. Actually, I do still support the Vikes, since I still consider Minnesota at least partially my home....

But, right now, I stand with my Panthers.
