We might have a live one here Jim.
Well, what about his security forces meeting with terrorists?
Un resolutions not worth the paper? Yeah...I would tend to agree with that.
It's why we (U.S.) acted with a coalition of nations willing to fight along side of us...and not with the full sanction of the U.N. eventhough, the UN resolutions allowed for "dire" consequences.
The dumbocrats think we have acted unilaterally, at least that's what Kerry barked pre-election...he has a funny definition of "unilateral". We have good allies, and good ones are all we need.
Sadly, U.N. officals only understand "dire"...in terms of their own corruption. Darfur, child sexual assualt, oil for food...comes to mind.
No, because it makes me think of Ward Churchill.
I agree. But pulling out of the ME is.
I've supported Bush since the beginning. But when he gives assent to blatant unconstitutional landgrabs, by SAYING NOTHING, he's lost me.
I guess you are demonstrating the Dead Corpse tagline: "Never underestimate the will of the downtrodden to lie flatter."
>>>>It's a far bigger threat to my freedom than tinpot Saddam was, yet all I hear from the administration is Iraq, Iraq, Iraq.
Didn't I just see a remark from your vanity post you just made that you were from Canada?
Echo Talon can talk about it once he's finally got a whole year here.
Until then it's a lover-of-a-lack-of-freedom mewling, to me.
Which goes to show that our actions did not reflect a disparaging attitude towards UN resolutions. The position of the Administration all along has been that we've been acting in compliance with them, and in enforcement of them. That to me is the most unfortunate aspect of all this. It ends up strengthening the UN. Liberals now have the ability to say, "You enforced that resolution, now how about enforcing this one. And this, and this..."
You know, throughout history the U.S. has always wanted Canada?
Maybe the SCOTUS just cleared the way for Canadian alarmists to claim possible annexation, but Good God...why would we want them? It would seem few Canadians like the U.S. They're already imploding economically from their National Healthcare system costs and living up to those God Awful Kyoto Protocols.
Probably be smarter just the annex this whole Western Hemisphere. That would control our borders and out with the dictators.
Well...even a bad institution can have good resolutions. I think we along with the Brits drafted the original...but don't quote me on that. Thus, it's only natural we follow a resolution we draft.
The U.N. is not without it's purpose...remember keep your enemies close? To the extent that it functions as a conduit in relaying a message to the nations of the world...it may be have usefulness. It's a matter of prospective. The U.N. has it's place, but we should always act in "our" best interests as a soveriegn nation state.
A point John Kerry knew, or cared, little about...he should have remembered George Washinton's farewell address.
All the evidence is having a Nuke would have been trivial the moment sanctions were lifted which he was then ralying for, he was also buying intel and repair parts for nuclear weapons he aledgedly didn't have. frankly it's obvious he had em shipped to syria.
Be careful what you wish for.
Right now the Rats have been pounding away on Iraq and the President has not been making a good enough case against them... So I'm happy to hear him rattle some Rats.
Yea, hes never talked about the activist judges...
There is no doubt if Iraq, which had long range missles capable of hitting Israel, could have hit them with a Nuke. Saddam had intel on, and was buying repair gear for Nuclear weapons he aledgedly did not possess. Were he to fire at Israel they assuredly would retaliate. Pakistan and Iran would then return the favor, if not Russia as well. The scenerio by which a Nuclear war plays out should not be unfamiliar to anyone have in their life seen a television set. If nothing else the fact he could, and was motivated to, hit Israel makes claer the threat he posed to stability in the middle east, further Iraq is the perfect staging for the left side of a dual attack on Iran, which certainly must be being considered, given that we know if they don't have a nuke they are damn close to having the fuel, the missle, and the plans for a warhead.
That would resembly a Hollywood horror movie. Like another poster said, watch what you ask for.
