Why are you calling the poster names and attacking him? He just posted the damn article/thread, he didn't write it. Sheesh!
and don't forget all the predictions of the battle of Baghdad turning into the Stalingrad of the Middle East...
Go read his addendum...he didn't "just post the article."
What did he add?
GWB, Karl Rove, et al. made a nice campaign commercial, didn't they? For the DNC, that is.
you bet...I wanna see that with the split screen of the handover in Iraq from Monday. Eat s--t you lefty scum...and get ready for four more years of Republican rule!
I added them to the list.
Even if he thinks this...why now? Just fade into the sunset.
Please go read it for yourself. I don't want you telling me that I misstated it,or something else. Why do you want someone else to do what YOU should have done to begin with?
They have NO idea. LOL
Agreed! :-)
So what did he do?
Read what? Can you be specific?
The reporters need to stand on LSD,waiting for a bus,in mid January or February.
Why was Germany our enemy in WWI & WWII? What imminent threat did they pose to the US? Why did Patton and other military leaders believe the Russians were our true enemy? And that we should have lined up the remaining Germans and gone after Russia before they had the bomb?
Hell, for that matter, why did we engage in wars with Mexico and Spain in the 19th century? Were we threatened? What was the point?
The bottom line is that we had to take the fight to the Middle East. It's clear that the election will be a referandum on Iraq. I'll believe the 'greater than 50%' believe Iraq was a mistake if Bush loses in November.
Let me help you with some of this. He endorsed the friggin piece, and said that folks should add Buckley along with him to the "traitor list." The whole thing was self absorbed and silly, but then the poster is self absorbed and silly. I don't need icons to assist me in defending what I believe. I just post my own reasoning. I don't need props, or want them.
Go to the begining of this thread and READ it.
Yeah. All those millions they were using to bribe in the corrupt oil-for-food program were just play money from old Monopoly games.
I'm with Reagan - he beat the communists without invading the Soviet Union or Eastern Europe - and a lot of those rulers were as evil as Saddam.
Reagan invaded a number of nations...and the Soviet Union already had the nukes. Besides that, you expected Bush to invite Saddam to the White House to sign peace treaties? That's the analogy you seem to be implying.
Another thing we can thank William Buckley for is Rush Limbaugh. His open idolatry of Buckley may be a huge part of his toughness and great success. Rush's father and grandfather also were great teachers and influences. Buckley was way ahead of his time,and maybe all the hate,and lambasting he took all those years for fellow conservatives and the movement is why he needs his medications now. The pioneers do take the arrows,and sadly some of those arrows took their toll. I hope he recedes from public,and enjoys whatever time is left for him,but we do not want his legend tarnished anymore. May God bless and keep him.
