That's been their MO so far....

Examples please.

[hoodwinkedcowan]

The CIA created both Hussein AND Bin Laden.

The CIA created both Hussein AND Bin Laden.

I thought they were born of women. Sound bites do not cut it around here. Post an instance of the government blowing something or someone up and then blaming it on Sadam or Bin Laden. Hell even your own opinion would be better than a talking point.

[Texasforever]

BTW welcome to FR. I see a loud but short future for you around here.

[nopardons]

Since you're a " newbie ". you don't know that bin Laden was NEVER funded, nor trainded by the CIA. Please do make use of the FR archieves, prior to posting things that you only have the slightest knowledge about.

As to Saddam ... the USA / CIA did NOT " invent / create / nor fund him. They were; however , thrilled with his war on Iran and the Islamisic loonies. It kept those two nations at each other's throats, and took their focus off us .

We backed the Taliban resistance in Afghanistan against Soviet Russia in the '80s. This cauldron eventually brewed up bin Laden.

..define police state...

Tex, we're getting a little tired of your constant 'defines', 'where's your source?' and 'prove it.' You're FR's #1 Bush groupie; aren't you even aware, of where your idol's taking America?

Operation TIPS - the Terrorism Information and Prevention System - will be a nationwide program giving millions of American truckers, letter carriers, train conductors, ship captains, utility employees, and others a formal way to report suspicious terrorist activity. Operation TIPS, a project of the U.S. Department of Justice, will begin as a pilot program in 10 cities that will be selected.

The Taleban did not exist when we backed the resistance forces in Afghanistan. You may want to research a bit before embarrassing yourself further. The people WE backed are the ones now in power.

Byron, we're getting rather tired of your nonsensical, ill thoughtout, uneducated posts. Please don't include others, when you post your own nasty thoughts / ad hominems about fellow FREEPERS. I , for one, will take a post from Tex, over one from you, as worthwile, any day. :-)

OTOH asking someone , here, for a source , has been going on, by ALL FREEPERS, longer than you've been a member, dear.

Lord Byron must be distracted by that gerbil in his pants.

[drlevy88]

OK Mr. Parser. Taliban predecessors. We didn't care whether we were helping extremist or "moderate" Muslims, so long as it threw a monkey wrench into the USSR. Some of them came back to bite us.

[nopardons]

He's distracted by something; that's for certain ! LOL

[Byron_the_Aussie]

...when I need crap from an Aussie I’ll kick it out of him...

Now, now, Tex. Don't be like that. I'm just saying that, y'know, for someone who has appointed himself Official Shrub Pitbull, you sometimes seem poorly informed. You're always asking for links, proofs, sources, and evidence. Why aren't you already briefed, on all the exciting developments we're seeing from the Bush administration? The Citizen Snitch program, and Endless War? I don't mean to criticise your work but perhaps a bit more research, and a little less gratuitous flaming, might see you more on top of your portfolio? With sincere concern, By.

Facts do not require parsing. The Taleban was a creature created in Pakistan. The residence we supported was the force that was called the Northern Alliance that did much of the dieing in the recent war we won in Afghanistan. You my friend are out of your league.

[nopardons]

I guess that you favor /ed the world wide spread of Communism.

Oh, and NO, " some of them " didn't " come back to bite us", dear. I wouldn't say that killing almost 3,000 innocent people, is a " bite " and neither did the USA help, in any way, those who planned and / or exicuted 9/11.

[Byron_the_Aussie]

..he's distracted by something; that's for certain!..

Distracted by your charm and poise, as always, my dear.

Thinking about your screen name for a moment, do you think President Bush should have effectively pardoned Mr Clinton, the way he did?

[woofie]

Tex, we're getting a little tired of your constant 'defines', 'where's your source?' and 'prove it.' You're FR's #1 Bush groupie; aren't you even aware, of where your idol's taking America?

I thought I was #1

[Texasforever]

Yep, I demand sources, definitions and facts to back up assertions made. I can accept opinion without those requirements but NOT statements of fact. I have yet to see you add anything other than background noise.

[nopardons]

Perhaps, Byron, if YOU could back up your dribblings, with sourches and proof, you wouldn't sound so utterly pathetic. :-)
