Let me guess: it wasn't a problem for the globe when H Ross Perot ran as an independent in the 92 presidential election, the greatest factor that gave Clinton victory.

Jimmy Carter: The Untold Story

>>>>Jonah Goldberg, in his May, 2002 article in the National Review, notes that while the first President Bush was trying to orchestrate an international coalition to remove Saddam Hussein from Kuwait, Carter wrote a letter to the U.N. Security Council - including Mitterrand’s France and Communist China - asking its members to stymie Bush's efforts.<<<<

Would you two please send your comments as Letters to the Editor to The Boston Glob? (as we used to call it) I can't send them in my name or I would.

Governs, I dont know how you do it. (Prolosec, I know.) My head would have exploded by now.

The Globe is owned, directed, and operated by The NEW YORK TIMES, whose leadership is guilty of massive treason.

I wonder if the Boston Globe has reported the demise of the USSR. Or do the people in MA still think Communism is going strong, as a viable alternative to capitalism and freedom?

Well, the Media Darling Clintoon didn't take him out either. Or OBL for that matter. What did he accomplish? Oh, yeah, right, he did a fine job of making a mockery of the Office of President.

Seems The Globe is just trying to think up some DU Talking points.
As for Lieberman, are they reading The Globe in Connecticut?

The big reason for all this weakling foreign policy can be summed up in 2 letters...........UN! Prior to 1945 nations kicked ass when needed, PERIOD. After 45 and the founding of the UN, can you say Korea, Nam, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, Afghanistan. Nuff Said

You are correct. Kerry and Kennedy voted against going after Saddam and liberating Kuwait. I bet the Globe did not castigate them for that vote.

A book could be written on how Clinton's turndown of Osama may have changed World History for us, our children and our children's children. And maybe way beyond that.

When I lived in MA, there was this real idiot state rep (are there any other kind?) that I was saddled with.

She went to the USSR, and said "Gee, I guess communism does work".

The USSR collapsed a month or so later.

One point regarding "We should have gone to Baghdad in 1991".

During Operation Desert Storm many of Saddam's chemical weapon facilities were destroyed. However, in the years following, UN inspectors destroyed many times that amount. To quote UN reports in the 1990's:

“Nearly 40,000 chemical weapons, more than 100,000 gallons of chemical weapons agents, 48 operational missiles, 30 warheads specifically fitted for chemical and biological weapons, and a massive biological weapons facility at Al Hakam equipped to produce anthrax and other deadly agents.”

Bush propaganda? Nope - that was the Sink Emperor in 1998.

So according to the Globe, we should have charged headlong into Baghdad while Saddam had these weapons but it was a huge mistake to overthrow him after they'd been eliminated. This is why "liberal thinking" is an oxymoron.

Lamont's a nobody that bought an election and the Globe calls Lieberman an affront to democracy?

I'm sure the globe pointed out that bush didn't take out saddam due in part to the incessant liberal whining of the globe editorials and fat teddy kennedy himself.
but fat boy teddy was just as wrong about iraq then as he is now.

Kennedy went beyond Vietnam in the debate before the first Gulf War. According to the senator, the casualties in Southeast Asia would seem slight when compared with Desert Storm. And the liars in the Bush administration knew it beforehand. “The 45,000 body bags the Pentagon has sent to the region are all the evidence we need of the high price in lives and blood we will have to pay,” said Kennedy. And when the war ended in a matter of days, as predicted, he never apologized to the President for his paranoid insinuations and over-the-top fear-mongering.
