Bo Derek was interviewed by Shep Smith of Fox News and said that she couldn't understand why Al-Qaeda is attacking us. If it wasn't for us they would have been part of the Soviet Union.

Smith managed to remain stone faced

[Durus]

And?

[msp2004]

OMG - Blond, Beautiful and a friggin genius

[My2Cents]

She's right. If it weren't for us, the Soviet Union would still exist, and the Soviets would have figured out a way to enroll al Qaeda as part of its evil empire.

[Steel Wolf]

That is a good point.

[sbelew]

Well, technically, if you consider Afghanistan Al Qaeda's home base, she's right.

[Rutles4Ever]

All I can say is, thank God they destroyed the Death Star, or where would we be now?

[rintense]

She's right.

[Blueflag]

Mr. Rob - she has a good point. WE stopped Soviet imperialism. They had an agenda to expand SW to the Araian Sea. THEY wanted Iraq, Iran, etc. India used to be a close ally. they went after Afghanistan as a stepping stone. they went after SE ASIA.

Bo is historically corret, demonstrably.

[StoneColdGOP]

Afghanistan.

[litehaus]

AH,cum'on. She was just saying that Ashcanistan woulda been under the Soviet yoke is we had allowed such....

[misterrob]

No, she said that she couldn't understand why Al-Qaeda was attacking us because if it wasn't for us then they would have been part of the USSR...

THEY SHOULD APPRECIATE US

[wtc911]

Braids pulled too tight....brain hurts....must lie down now...

[Jonah Hex]

Well, after the first eight plans didn't work, blowing up the Death Star was Plan 9.

[tioga]

shep is an idiot. Good for Bo, she said her peace.

[Blueflag]

The rules ya know ...

[Always Right]

Bo knows foreign policy.

[KC_Conspirator]

She's right. We sold them Stinger missiles in the 80's which gave them a defense against Soviet air superiority.

[litehaus]

is=if

[misterrob]

[SF Republican]

she's right and whom would the Soviet Union be?

[PAR35]

So, it appears that Bo Derek is smarter than you are.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Well at least her heart is in the right place.

Nobody pick on Bo...or you'll have a problem with me.

(stalker ping)

:-)

[b4its2late]

I think she has a valid point. That's who they were fighting in Afghanistan all those years I believe....

[Hatteras]

All this...

...and BRAINS, TOO?!

Come back to bed, Bo... Don't let that mean old man tease you like that, there there...

[pabianice]

Just goes to show -- great breasts don't make you smart.

[Brilliant]

Too bad she's a Republican. She'd make a good running mate for Kerry.

[Rummyfan]

BUMP!

[billorites]

1. Q: What do you call a blonde with half a brain?

A: Gifted!

[DaGman]

The Democrats have Janet Jackson and GOP now has Bo Derek. The election is that close!

[Robe]

Bo has her cornrows a bit too tight,
that and the face lift tends to reduce
blood flow to the brain

[BrooklynGOP]

I think she was referring to USSR's occupation of Afghanistan. If US didn't supply afghanis with stingers, Soviets would've never left.

[Blueflag]

ya don't use WHOM with the predicate to be... 8-P

[RinaseaofDs]

Hey, it's a big tent.

There is room in my bed, er um. . . party for those that while beautiful, have trouble articulating their positions on certain issues.

Now, please, I have the mute on trying to understand what she's got to say on this issue.

[Warren]

Yeah, I heard of that one. Planet 9 from outer space.

[lyingisbetter]

Now we're talking!!
We have Bo, now I know I am on the right side.
I say leave Bo alone, she's always been cool!!!!
and beautiful

[sbelew]

I THINK she's saying that we are the reason that the Soviet Union fell apart, and was thus unable to finish the job of conquering Afghanistan.

[Steel Wolf]

That's right. They should appreciate us. The Soviet Union was intent on absorbing their neighbors, and they had zero tolerance for Islamic extremism. Afghanistan, home of Al Qaida, would still be Soviet territory were it not for our military aid to the mujahedeen.

If it wasn't for the U.S., Afghanistan and many of the people who make up Al Qaida would be licking Soviet boot.

[colorado tanker]

For some reason I always seem to make eye contact with her below eye level and have trouble hearing what she has to say.

[Stag]

Well actually there were 7 prior plans prepared, Preparations A through G, they all failed. Then they devised an 8th and on the hole, Preparation H seemed to work.

[rintense]

Exactly. If the Russians won, Afghanistan would be a breakaway state right now, far worse than it currently is. Hindsight being what it is, 20 years ago Russia was the enemy. Now terrorists and radical Islam is the enemy of all mankind.

[misterrob]

Huh?

Al-Qaeda is not a sovereign nation. How could they have come under the control of the USSR? Sure, we backed the mujahadeen but only as a means of sticking it to the Soviets.

[isthisnickcool]

She talks? If so I don't care what she says*.

*She's right by the way.

[andy58-in-nh]

she said her peace

I think that's piece.

[El Cid]

"No, she said that she couldn't understand why Al-Qaeda was attacking us because if it wasn't for us then they would have been part of the USSR...
THEY SHOULD APPRECIATE US

Thanks for the clarification -- the title of this post had me scratching my head there for a moment. It sounded like the implication was that Al Queda and the Soviet Union would have been in cahoots had it not been for us -- and knowing how both those groups hate each other guts (score one point for the commies) this just did not compute.
Thanks for clarifying Bo's real comments.

The only Hollywood star (at least I seen) that visited Reagans coffin while lying in state, in the capital rotunda. (I`m not talking about the service.) She took the time to stand in that huge line, unlike Kerry who cut ahead of everyone and stepped over the ropes with his photographer for a photo op.

[EggsAckley]

I've met Bo, and she's had NO face lift. She just happens to have very fine, porcelain skin, and natural beauty.

[Rutles4Ever]

I guess that means Islam would have come to an end.
