He's made some accusations he can't or won't back up.
Frankly, I'm not in favor of divesting foreign investment from this country.
With this statement, I am surprised that it was 64-2. I want to know the names of the two appeasers.
Yep, you've got that right, except that the Peanut President made damn sure that the Shah is overthrown, thus getting us in this mess with Iran.
Nice. You clearly don't know anyone from that region or you wouldn't say such a stupid thing. Like hell they should accept that. Why don't you come out and say it? Our troops and coalition troops are fighting dying for NOTHING, right?
Who has been good partners ? The Emir ? Because that is all the UAE is. Then again, its got lots of men in the street who hate us infidels but according to you that doesn't matter.
We had all this foolishness 30 years ago when we based our relationship with Iran on one man, ignoring what the man in the street thought. Right now Egypt is our 'ally' because our relationship is with one man. Again, ignoring what the man in the street thinks. Now, we are doing it again.
FReepers who have been to Dubai have testified that there are already Christian churches there.
I care nothing for Carter. He was a fool and an incompetent. But he could not have kept the Shah in power. What do you advocate ? Sending American troops to Teheran ?
Imperial Iran had on paper very, very considerable military resources. It had the most powerful military east of Israel. If they were not enough to keep the Shah in power what the hell do you think we could have done ? If all those Iranian boys were not willing to die for their Shah what do you think we could have done ?
Thanks for the info. But the questions remain;
What documents does Duncan supposedly have?
Who wrote the supposed documents?
Who are the supposed named U.S. government agents?
Who in the UAE government supposedly turned down the agents request?
Why doesn't Hunter release the supposed documents to the public?
The Republican Chairman of the Armed Services Committee makes a statement and you say he can not or will not back it up. The Republican President makes a statement and how DARE the ignorant masses question the infinite wisdom. Do I have this correct?
Understand that I have been kicking congress real hard for their weakness. I will give credit where it is due.
I'll just take him at his word. I guess there are just some things that need to be kept from the media if at all possible.
Why? Is it because of the seriousness of the charges?
The evidence hasn't been presented.
See my post #1810.
LOL Pathetic.
I was visiting with friends this afternoon, and we were watching Kudlow on CNBC, (while arguing about the deal). Kudlow was fabulous. And one of the very few pundits who "gets" this whole deal. I'm going to try to watch him more often.
Sorry; not me; if he's out there talking about them, he needs to offer up the proof.
But you will OVERLOOK the word of Gen Franks, Gen Pace, Gen Abizaid, President Bush, the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard. Ok.
Because of my own thoughts and beliefs, which I formed prior to hearing anything from or where Hunter stood on the subject.
FreeReign, Do you realize that you are calling the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee a liar, and blindly trusting the Emir of Dubai? The world is upside down.
Well, if you're grasping at straws, you sure do!
The Republican Chairman of the Armed Services Committee makes a statement and you say he can not or will not back it up.
Was my post unclear? That's exactly what I said. He made the accusation more than once and has yet to offer a shred of evidence to back it up.
The Republican President makes a statement and how DARE the ignorant masses question the infinite wisdom.
Stupid statement, trying to draw the parallels.
If Hunter has proof, let's see it.
You've got it!!
