Is this Zot?

...poses some interesting questions, none of which I can answer. Does anyone have any opinions or information which I can draw upon to formulate an answer, or is it somkething better left unanswered?

This is my first post, so please go easy on me. I'm working my way up the fr.com ladder, into the FR toilet, one small rung flush at a time.

I vote not-Zot.

You can't always predict who is the bad guy...and sometimes, like when we supported Saddam against Iran's murderous mullahs, sometimes you make a pact with the devil to oppose a bigger devil...

You wrote a very cogent post, with a concise answer to the original drivel.

Unfortunately, I doubt this poster was looking for answers, since searching the FR archives will reveal that we've discussed this issue many times previously.

Furthermore, even my high school history class involved a lecture on why we supported Stalin during WW2 and then we fought against him in the Cold War.

Look at his comments. How does a newbie know about LP? "Diversity is perversity"? "No muslims=no terror"? Most all of us started out as Islam defenders here until we got fed up with one too many "execute a woman for false rape accusation because she didn't have the prerequiste 4 male witnesses" requirement. And obviously this guy is a whiz with HTML... he even knows <strike> which's awfully obscure, yet he begs for understanding?

Sounds exactly like the troll from DU that occassionally pops up on crevo threads being an extreme young-earth creationist while saying things like "Statistics have been disproven."

I think being introduced to the FReeper learning curve on how not to post will be sufficient punishment.

He would have been better to pose the questions after doing a bit of research.This site and google have a wealth of information and the "supporting Iraq "thing has been rehashed many times.

If he was just young and unknowledgable,he'll be let back on.I didn't get the hit Bush site to totally load.

One flush should do it; why are you so determined?

As for the book; think it would be a great campaign ad. . .for GW. The wisdom, 'more than a thousand words. . .'

I'm saying that the strategy behind our past actions is what's interesting. We have a right to attack anyone who poses a threat to America; anyone. I understand thaht we suuplied arms etc to SH against Iran, but that doesn't mean we can't take them both out if they threaten us.

I need some more coffee. All this zot and troll stuff is pretty unnerving so early in the morning, in response to a lefty video.

Oh crap; now I stepped in it, didn't I?

You can always click 'Abuse' yourself and request a self-zot. Don't worry, no one will remember this thread tomorrow, and you won't go blind.

It's in response to your lame post. Try to be 1/10th as accurate as your screename.

If you want to know who armed Saddam then check out this link from the Stokholm Peace Research Institute:

(Surprise, surprise! It's our friends the French and the Russians.)

My money is that he's a troll from DU and the tiolet reference is a not-so-subtle insult to FR.

This fr.com HTML is somewhat different from my company website work. I use CSS and have had to re-familiarize myself with some of the early HTML tags. Creating tags from scratch, as opposed to cut&paste from a list of frequently used tags, is time consuming.

I'm not a troll from DU.

The toilet references, and the "strikes," were added by the Supreme Moderator.

"...and you won't go blind."

Well, then this should do it, shouldn't it?

[7.62 x 51mm]

I didn't post that toilet reference; someone defaced my original post copy. That wasn't me.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Ok, ok, so I had a weak moment.

If this war was all about oil, why are we getting screwed at the pump?

I apologize to all on this thread, for even asking the question about that animation. Sorry I ruined your morning. Mr Admin Mod: please delete the thread. I've learned my lesson about posting any more article/ vanities; whatever.

I'm going out for some coffee. Can I bring anything back for anyone? Donuts?
