Outstanding point, and it is yours now!
Hey, one little tid bit I found, in honor of Jimmy Carter's birthday...I found a quote by President Reagan about the Iran Hostage crisis:
"What I do think should be done, once they are safely here with their families, and that tragedy is over - we've endured this humiliation for just lacking one week of a year now - then, I think, it is time for us to have a complete investigation as to the diplomatic efforts that were made in the beginning, why they have been there so long, and when they came home, what did we have to do in order to bring that about - what arrangements were made? And I would suggest that Congress should hold such an investigation. In the meantime, I'm going to continue praying that they'll come home."
Now, did that investigation into this terror act against our country ever happen? Can we republicans check up on the actions of the Democrats as to the findings of that report--in the years following that report?! What did Mr. Kerry have to say about the hostage crisis at the time?
Kerry spokesman Phil Singer responded that "the global test is not asking for a permission slip. It's making sure that your decisions stand up to scrutiny and are backed by facts."
Ah yes, the scrutiny of the French, how ....penetrating!
How inportant to our security! We must "explain" it to
them, before we act.
Didn't we have a problem in Kosovo with a French nato officer who was "explaining" our moves to the wrong people?
Hell, if we want a debator, get the Rev. Al or Jimmy Swagart.
In the next debate, W needs to stand up straighter, smile, not grimace when Kerry attacks and say more about Iraq than Kerry had the same intel.
At the Normandy beaches in 1944, we had a coalition that consisted basically of us, the British and the Canadians.
I think FDR should have held a summit and gotten more international support before going in. As it turned out, we paid most of the cost and took almost all the casualties.
And what were we doing invading France anyway? Didn't anybody tell Roosevelt that it was Tojo who attacked us, not Hitler???
That jumped out at me as well. In political speech terms this was a crotch stomp. Good for him.
Bet FN John wears gloves?
