Yes, but at least we wrested Asia and Europe from them...and we have the technological advantage to start creating a viable anti-missile shield.
China? We could eliminate China in a few hours.
Russia? I don’t think they have the political capital to do anything to stop us.
I dont think the MSM had anything to do with it, Bush never showed any real courage to do the maximum except when it came to selling out his own country with this amnesty bill which he tried in the months before 9/11 too, remember?
Heck, we even freeped bush in New York City for that in 2001!
“Iran has done nothing to us!” -L. Ron Paul, June 5th, 2007.
And people wonder why I have no respect for the man. Someone on a blog somewhere (I forget) said it best—if we have to put this aging hippie on stage with the Republicans, at the very least we can have Bob Dornan on stage at the next Democrat debate.
A brain? Were you in the Wizard of Oz? Wonder what kind of a brain you were given, like in the Frankenstein movie - A B Normal. It is kind of evident as I have not heard any great ground swell of applause of your alleged intellectual prowess in judging others...
At every freaking turn he is saying things like that... “at this point there is no direct evidence that the Iranian government is behind this”, and if I hear the democrat party quote him about “there is no military solution” in iraq I’m going to puke.
Now I know he actually said “there is not a military ONLY solution” in iraq. And I know he said that there is no direct evidence if the top of the Iranian gov’t is ordering this, or if ‘rouge parts’ of the gov’t are doing it on their own.
I DON’T CARE.
He should freaking realize and KNOW that his mealy mouthed gray area nuanced statements like this are being used against him and the war effort.
He needs to wise the hell up and cut the shit and call it like it is.
Did I mention I miss Rummy....
Carter! I hate that twit!
When we invaded Afghanistan for the attack on the Trade Towers, the high moral ground was ours, our Nato allies joined with us, and western civ presented a somewhat united front to a war on terrorism.
Saddam Hussein did not attack the Trade Towers. Yes, he killed Kurds. Kim Il-Sung killed many more North Koreans, but he’s still in power and in the interim has acquired nukes for real. Hussein may have been faking nuks. I actually think he wasn’t, that the evidence was driven to the Bakaa Valley in a series of tractor-trailers shipments. We were aware of the truck movements and did nothing about it. Chalk up one more mistake.
Those who brandish the presence of Al Quada in Iraq now as justification for the invasion back weren’t using that reason back then.
As to ‘fighting them there so we won’t have to fight them here,’ we could have much more easily been fighting the same people in Afghanistan so we wouldn’t have to fight them here. It would have been easier and, again, Nato supported.
If going after Saddam was such a good idea in 2002, it was an even better one when GHW Bush had ninety percent approval ratings and we were already at the border of Iraq, with UN backing. Think of all the Iraqis who were shredded while be patrolled a no fly zone.
Carter is easily the worst ex-president in history.
I don’t need a lesson thanks.
You posed to me a question loaded with innuendo and assumptions and expected a yes or no answer? If it took a ‘lesson’ to respond adequately, then it took a lesson.
Good Point Mushariff won’t be around forever.
I miss him too. Missed him the instant election results were in.
It is pointless to accumulate evidence that will never be used.
The White House has issued a collective yawn................and a few shoulder shrugs, why, because Mr. President destroyed his support base....and no longer has a shred of power.....
Al Qaeda bugged out of Afghanistan and is in Iraq now so yes ‘fight them there’.
And by the way, Saddam sure as hell did 9-11 and many other attacks on us.
Do you have a cite for that?
