No, but I have one nephew who's served as a Marine in Iraq, and another who is on his way there now. 18 of the 19 hijackers, you may recall, were Saudis. And our response was -- to gin up a war against a former client of ours, who had so effectively served our interests in the 1980s that Iran's demographic shape is still injured. The Arab nation that protected its Christian minorities, and even had a Christian prime minister. Some damn body made a buck. And Assyrian Christians are being forced out of homelands they've lived in for nearly 3,000 years.
Or do you agree with Michael Ledeen that the US needs to throw some "crappy little nation" against the wall every ten years or so, to demonstrate our ethical superiority to the world?
Two questions:
1.) Do you think the US video is forged?
2.) Do you think our ships were being deliberately provocative?
Why do you hate the US so much? I never can understand why liberals take the word of the islamic fundamentalists over our armed forces. These islamisists beat the hell out of women, kill people for pleasure and for not worshipping their “god”, kill homosexuals, etc. Why do you love them so much?
Ahhhhh, the "evil Cheney did it for Halliburton" thesis crops up again. Thanks for dropping by, please give our regards to the snipes at MoveOn.org.
You just don't want to get it, do you? No concept of what a GWOT would actually entail, beyond playing whack-a-mole with the global armpit-du-jour as terrorists migrate like lice from one fetid haven to another, passed around like a cellblock shank among the nations playing at terror diplomacy.
While invading and looting one of our trading partners, shooting scud missiles at Israel, and paying a bounty to suicide bombers' families - not to mention gassing his own people, throwing innocents into wood chippers, providing aid and comfort to al qaeda, and possibly material help, and plotting all the while to resume a nuclear weapons program as soon as he could finish his scam on the UN.
Real peach of a guy there.
Hell yeah. That seems to be the only thing that works.
Saudi Arabia has nutburgers who are trying to destroy the U.S. The U.S. of A. has nutburgers who are trying to destroy the U.S. So, do you have a point?
If you actually have nephews who have served or will serve in Iraq, thank them for their service for me. But don’t imagine their service gives you immunity from criticism here. And I don’t see why you mentioned them. Unless such immunity was your goal.
Please cite for me evidence to support your slander against Michael Ledeen. You, know, somewhere where he suggests throwing "some 'crappy little nation' against the wall every ten years or so". If you can’t you thereby prove yourself worthy of no more of my time.
The troll-o-meter is pegging to the right.
Personally t I think the RJR you are a fan of is the tobacco company.
Just because you have a couple family members in the service doesn't make YOU a hero.
We'll be freeping you when you stand next to Mother Sheehan at the next anti-war rally at Columbia or Bezerkley.
