The United States has had a long history of nonintervention, of basically taking the “don’t tread on me and if you don’t we’ll leave you alone.” We broke with that tradition for Iraq. What is your standard for breaking with tradition of nonintervention?

What is this fat, no-ratings sissy talking about? American non-intervention in the Spanish American War? Mexican War? WWI? WW2? Korea? Nam? Grenada? IraqI? What planet is fatboy living on?

He must be referring to Clinton's non-intervention policy used in Haiti and the Balkans. I also appreciate the fact that Fatboy Matthews pointed out the truth that we went into Iraq "without the Europeans." I mean, who does George Bush think he is claiming that he has mulitlateral support just because the U.K., Poland, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Hungary, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, the Netherlands, and Norway, along with Australia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, El Salvador, and 17 other countries have committed troops to Iraq? I will be returning to Fatboy Matthews again and again for The Truth, fair & balanced!

Good points Huck. In fact, we had a continious intervention in Iraq beginning in August of 1990 with Desert Shield, followed by Desert Storm, then ground troops and air support in Northern Iraq to save the Kurds in the winter of 91-92, and 10 years of enforcing the Northern and Southern no-fly zones.

In Matthews universe, I guess all of that is somehow not intervention. The guy is just not too bright once his mouth gets rolling.
