Hmmm ---- Were they talking about:
Sudan and Afganistan to ofset the 'mea-culpa deposition'????
Operation Desert Fox to stall the impeachment debate????
Kosovo to block the Cox report????
Hmmm -- weren't these Clinton things?
They wish. The anti-American agenda can't fit many facts of the current crisis into an explanation that wouldn't be laughed at. That's why they never mention Osama, religion, Shah Masood, things they don't understand and don't want to since it doesn't reinforce their world view. It's a very patronizing world view, with all the "others" of the world denied motives and interests of their own, unless the are, or can be rationalized as a "response" to America. They are retreating to Vietnam and other comfortable constructs. Right after 9/11 they pushed the "root cause" argument, but it failed in the growing light of the Osama videos and understanding of fundamentalism. That is, the "root causes" weren't what they hoped they were, and they are only interested in "root causes" if they support their prejudices - i.e., they aren't really concerned about root causes in the first place.
