Re: Portrait of the average American voter...

Don't you just love people (usually bitchy women) who shout something, and
then slam the door in your face? (or slam the telephone down on the hook) I
wonder if they are afraid you might give them a reasonable answer, and they
are afraid they won't be able to handle it.......

Re: Portrait of the average American voter...

I was wounded on Luzon in WWll, went to a filed hospital, released and
rejoined my outfit. When I was discharged from service, the VA said they
couldn't find any records of my being wounded and hospitalized. A couple
of years later, I was hurt in an auto accident and just using my army
serial number, the hospital was able to get all my military medical
records, including copies of X-rays, showing I was wounded and hospitalized.
Screw the VA.
I don't believe that. Too many other nations were involved with the
decision to oust Saddam. I don't believe G.W. can make another nations
do what they don't want to do.

I challenge you to run a country without having to make strange bedfellows
along the way...
Do you think we'd be friends even with France if we didn't need something
from them?
Welcome to reality, Rafe.

Ditto for the Taliban. We supplied them with SAM
missiles with which to shoot at the Soviets in Afghanistan.
The USA didn't give a rat's ass about the Taliban's
well-documented human rights abuses... until 9/11, that is.
Oh, and speaking of murderous thugs, endorsed and
supported (militarily) by the USA --
Anyone remember Augusto Pinochet ?
How about Rios Montt ?
Shah (Mohammad) Reza Pahlevi ?
Hypocrisy doesn't come close to describing US foreign policy.
Military coups, murder, torture, and death squads is the more
typical m.o.
But "they hate us for our freedoms." For sure.

Re: Portrait of the average American voter...

So should we have fought the Soviets in 41 because they weren't
capitalists...or joined with them against a common enemy (Germany)?
Good thing we joined them...despite our misgivings.
The war likely wouldn't have been won without them.
War ALWAYS makes for strange bed-fellows.
Nothing new there.
We adjust as necessary.
When Saddam was fighting Iran...he was worthing supporting.
That's just the way things work.
Wartime 101.

Re: Portrait of the average American voter...

..or
A better analogy would be if you had a friend that you knew was a
murderer and a thief, and yet you did nothing about it until he stole
something from one of your friends and tried to kill a member of your
family. The US govt. knew Saddam was a bad seed, but we looked the
other way until he crossed the line into Kuwait.
It isn't about blame, it's about hypocrisy.

can't continue to waste time on correcting
Obviously, you read and believe a different set of URL's that I read and
believe. But you need more than just means and opportunity....You also need
motive. I just can't buy the Democrats explanation for motive. I don't see
anything gained by anyone from the Iraq invasion. All that talk about huge
corporate profits from the war is hogwash.....Even Halliburton said that it
was a loser, and they won't re-bid on it again. (and that comes from PBS,
which is a liberal news source.)

Re: Portrait of the average American voter...

BZZZT! Surprise surprise. WRONG again.
http://www.un.org/Depts/unmovic/Bx27.htm
I begin by recalling that inspections as a part of a disarmament
process in Iraq started in 1991, immediately after the Gulf War. They
went on for eight years until December 1998, when inspectors were
withdrawn. Thereafter, for nearly four years there were no
inspections. They were resumed only at the end of November last year.
[...]
Iraq has on the whole cooperated rather well so far with UNMOVIC in
this field. The most important point to make is that access has been
provided to all sites we have wanted to inspect and with one exception
it has been prompt. We have further had great help in building up the
infrastructure of our office in Baghdad and the field office in Mosul.
Arrangements and services for our plane and our helicopters have been
good. The environment has been workable.
Our inspections have included universities, military bases,
presidential sites and private residences. Inspections have also taken
place on Fridays, the Muslim day of rest, on Christmas day and New
Years day. These inspections have been conducted in the same manner as
all other inspections. We seek to be both effective and correct.
[...]
#1 History has proven them 100% right, for one.
#2 Even though (as I have proven) they were not just paper pushers,
paper pushers are able to see through utterly fabricated garbage,
like the evidence George Bush presented to Congress, the Nation,
and the U.N. on fictitious Iraq-Niger nuclear materials.
"The implementation of resolution 687 (1991) nevertheless brought about
considerable disarmament results. It has been recognized that more
weapons of mass destruction were destroyed under this resolution than
were destroyed during the Gulf War: large quantities of chemical
weapons were destroyed under UNSCOM supervision before 1994. While
Iraq claims – with little evidence – that it destroyed all biological
weapons unilaterally in 1991, it is certain that UNSCOM destroyed large
biological weapons production facilities in 1996. The large nuclear
infrastructure was destroyed and the fissionable material was removed
from Iraq by the IAEA."
Okay, you defeat me. I can't continue to waste time on correcting
each erroneous post you throw out. It's obviously not going to change
your mind, any clear thinking individual has already been convinced
against your position, and it's turned into a many-headed hydra.
Cheers!

Re: Portrait of the average American voter...

Well, at least you admit that, "He didn't do the job right the first time
around." - I thought that, too, and was mad as hell at Bush I, because of
it.......(As a matter of fact, I didn't vote for Bush I because of it....)
