[history]
Pentagon officials met over a three-day period in late 2001 with a long-discredited Iranian who was a middleman in the Iran-Contra scandal, Defense Department officials said Friday.
Manucher Ghorbanifar sat in on a series of meetings in Europe between two defense officials and two other Iranians who the Bush administration had been told had information useful to the United States in its then-fledgling global war on terrorism, a senior defense official said on condition of anonymity. The meetings occurred not long after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he said.

So, I take it you would just bury your head in the sand and ignore the fact that the middle east is a terrorist hornets nest just waiting to kill more infidel non-believers?
Your answer to N. Korea's threats to strike California with a Nuke is to pull our troops out and run.
You claim Saddam was never a threat.
Iran is not trying to build a nuke, despite the fact theat the director of the IAEA has warned the entire world that Iran is up to no good?
I must say that I am so glad that you are just a stooge for the left, residing up there in the bread basket of liberalism of Boston, and not in a position of leadership in this country. Otherwise ....... God help us!

Umm- actually- I now quit a bit about the German occupation. There was even a teenage mini rebillion called the "wolfverines" that was a remmant of the Hitler youth group that did indeed cause some casulaties among troops after official war was over but nothing like we see today in Iraq.

"8 months from now- when Sadaam is dead and Americans are still being killed daily who do we blame then?"YOU!!!!, for aiding and comforting the enemy with your spineless response and opinions of how we should fight this enemy. I'm sure the Fayadeen Saddam and the Ba'athist place their hopes that a spineless worm like you will eventually be in the position to pull our troops out of Iraq if they kill enough of our soldiers.
God help us if the day ever comes when someone as weak and cowardly as you resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Look further into this; there were MORE American deaths/attempts, in Germany, in the same amount of time, as in Iraq.
Soooooooooooo ... we shouldn't have nbeen in WW II, and/or did what we did there, then ? If that is NOT your answer, then you're still in the deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep hole re Iraq. If this IS your answer, then you've managed to dig that hole exceedingly deeper.
Frankly, pet, I don't know why you do this to yourself.

I'm trying to educate him, but I fear that he doesn't WANT to be educated. Oh well, I'm off too. Nighty night.

Nope, I'll pray for you... You need them, not me!
But most of all... I'll pray this country will never have a leader who thinks like you

Truly, I do not have time for you. You're a Bush hater and I think Dean suits your bent.

"Is Yours Wilson?" How did you know I share the same middle name as Ronald Reagan? I appreciate the compliment and with that, I'm off to bed, it's 5:15 Am and I'm a tad tired. Give me a ping when you grow a pair... OK?

When we loved Sadaam when he gassed the Kurds in 88 and the last verified time he used such "WMDS"? And by the way we said nothing about that and even tried to blame it on the Iranians. So because previous administrations made mistakes, is it required that follow on administrations make the same mistakes? What hogwash!!!!!!
