Thanks for your post
What he should have did, or what he should have done?
You know, I wished we would do this here in our elections
Big deal
Your name Robinson or Moderator if not, UP YOURS!
Why so nasty? Who pissed in your beer?
YOU, BushBot
A little re-writing of history here. No, the war was not worth it. No, the war was about nuclear hysteria, manufactured by the Bush Administration. It was never about old chemical/biological stockpiles of dubious tactical effectiveness and certainly no threat to the US.
A shameful era of our country’s history, which will not be honestly dealt with in my lifetime.
Why? Because I think that annihilating Mecca and Medina would be counterproductive? Get a life.
The answer is “No, not the way it was faught”. We were fighting Islam with the claim we were fight Saddam. If that was true, we should have pulled out the day he was captured.
But according to our president, Islam is a peaceful religion. So, I don’t know what the hell we were fighting...and still are.
HA... YES. But if you’ll check I corrected right away with OOOmg.
To prove what? That Muslims will elect a dictator? You can’t enforce rule of law from the top down. A culture that respects rights, rule of law, and tolerance, will produce a government that enforces those values. We have it backwards.
I think that's an old propaganda line -- a line -- intended to further the development of novolya in our society and leadership. "We can't ever do anything right, waaaaah, all we ever get is 'blowback(c)'!"

All anyone has to do is read about the fallout of the Crusades to see the huge effect the West had on the Moslem umma and Caliphate after the call for the First Crusade went out.
Uh, no. It was a turning point, the beginning of discrediting the Bush administration.
Since then, except 2010, Republicans have lost favor with the public.
You sure did. :) I missed it :(
I understand. I used to be a hall monitor too.
Bomb the holiest two places in Islam and that will end the jihads. I have lived 9 years in three Islamic countries including five in the Kingdom. Bombing Mecca and Medina would stir up a hornet's nest around the globe among the 1.2 billion Muslims and engender sympathy from many others who consider such attacks as against all religions.
I used to regard Islam as a religion, but have had to abandon that naive assumption. I believe it's a totalitarian imperialist ideology masquerading as a religion. It has many of the outward characteristics of religions: holy texts, a holy founder, saints, schisms, martyrs, devils, a storied history, followers, et cetera; most unfortunately for the claim it's a legitimate religion, Islam is founded on religious and ethnic hatred, and includes an exception-riddled moral code wholly at odds with all other such codes. Islam is to religion as communism is to self-governance: at best a bitter, shameless mockery of the thing it claims to be.
Obliterating Medina surely would have done considerable damage to the hornets' nest—in direct response to the damage the jihadis did to America. I'm sure everyone in the Islamic region would have understood the timeless principle of punch me, and I'll punch you back.
Obliterating Mecca would have done still greater damage, though that would have been the direct and exclusive result of the terrorist states' refusal to sign and abide by unconditional surrenders.
It's all a moot point, to be sure: no one in Washington, D.C. has the simple old-fashioned courage to stand up to the predators.
You fussed at me so hard, I think you owe me a cookie.
I will settle for a beer and a bag of peanuts.
Here you go
