LOL!
Of coures there are no titles offered; we'd be able to find the truth about that...........LOL.
The War on Terror ended at the border of Afghanistan. We should have concentrated on killing Osama first--cut off the head of the snake. Saddam was an enemy of the Taliban and Osama, not their ally.”

I see you haven’t been paying attention. While you been telling us group thinking people at Freerepublic that we are not of your stature about every 5 posts, you just haven’t been paying attention.
It is time for you to stop talking and read up on Able Danger and Muhammad Atta. You can find a link to the threads on top of the main thread page. Even Newsweek this month is printing that Saddam helped Al Qaeda with the attack of 911.
Anyone who calls Clancy and Ambrose (who I think are the two most prolific authors of modern times) and purports to tell complete strangers they're more "worthy" than others should be lambasted.
Oh, you're a doper. In every sense of the word.
Even if we have to go to the UNC Printing Press website.
I meant to say in my previous post that "anyone who calls Clancy and Ambrose 'frauds'...." should be lambasted.
My dissertation originally was rejected because I included too much information based on oral histories--that sort of thing is frowned on in academia (and they control the granting of degrees). It's one reason it took me a lot longer to obtain my PhD (others include my wife's failed pregnancy, my father's long illness, and the fact that I'm lazy).
My contracted books will consist of oral histories, with lots of historical background written by Yours Truly to put it all into perspective. I'm fighting now to have 1940's/current photographs of each person in the book (but good photo reproduction is expensive, and I'm not an established author). History is big, now, so I'm told, and I expect these to be well-received, as long as I don't mess the projects up.
My third, optioned book ("optioned" means they paid me a fee to get a first look at the finished manuscript) will be the story of the industrial build-up of the U.S. from 1940 (when the build-up actually started) to 1945. It's all based on original research I did over the past 15 years.
I haven't got a title, and haven't developed it very much. Since I have a set contract for the first two, and an insistent agent, I'm concentrating on getting them finished first. However, school is getting in the way. Have to make a living and all that.
Praeger is my publisher--they're a wonderful publisher; they treat authors very well and the books they print are beautiful. I really feel these will turn out to be something I can be proud of.
Natch. But your failure to find faults in his administration shows just how clueless you are.
W is a puppet. He not only has never articulated great goals (what is the war on "terror"? "Terrorism" is a warfighting strategy, not an opponent), but I doubt he could spell the word. When we gave up chasing the Taliban and Osama, turned left, and seized oil fields, I didn't need to be told anything else.
Leftist gobbledygook, and again you're ill-informed. We haven't stopped chasing the Taliban and Osama. In fact we're still engaged in Afghanistan and plan to do so until every last vestige of democracy-hating Islamic scum is wiped off the Afghanistan soil.
He left pharmaceuticals for a history teaching career. (A mouth-breathing Hmmmmm...lol)
Reagan was a real leader. He clearly defined great goals, and met them.
Yes he was. A Charismatic leader. But a charismatic leader is not always a good leader. (see: Bill Clinton)
(My favorite Reagan quote: "What is my strategy for defeating the Soviet Union? We win and they lose.")
Except, we stand at the brink of facing the Soviet Union again. So, defeat may have been only temporary. (which in no way compromises Reagan's accomplishment)
W is a puppet.
A puppet of whom? Could you be specific? The only master I have seen President Bush bend knee to is God.
He not only has never articulated great goals (what is the war on "terror"? "Terrorism" is a warfighting strategy, not an opponent), but I doubt he could spell the word.
At the beginning of this conflict over Iraq, after 9/11, I believe the President made public his goals, plans, which are a matter of public record.
When we gave up chasing the Taliban and Osama, turned left, and seized oil fields, I didn't need to be told anything else.
What makes you think we have given up? Where are these seized oil fields? Military protection is not the same as seizure, and the Iraqi's have taken over much of the guardianship police and military-wise in the past two months. As far as the Taliban, you are speaking of a label. When the criminals change labels, you would do well to ignore the labels and follow the crimes. The criminals are using priestly frocks to hide behind, and don't really much care about the label they are under. Baath, Taliban, Al Queda, Al Quida, Red Dawn.
There are over (IIRC) 300 REGISTERED terrorist groups worldwide.
Osama has very little value to his supporters right now. He may very well be dead.
Thanks for letting me respond to your litany.
I have three questions. You implied President Bush could not spell Terrorism.
How many degrees do you have, for instance?
How many degrees do you think President Bush has?
Do you have any recorded instance of him mis-spelling any words?
LOL!
I believe he's still very much into pharmaceuticals.
Listed under "hobbies" on his resume.
Just a reminder (with your comment that President Bush couldn't spell terrorism) that people who live in glass houses (the internet) should not throw bricks.
CFR. Allowing drunken sailor socialist spending bills to breeze by his desk. Next question.
Oh, now it makes sense; Doper in Chapel Hill!
It's good to see someone so invested in their hobby...and on his employer's time as well.
LOL!
#374 That's wicked funny. LOL
