You know, I could point out that Osama actually wanted us to go in to Iraq (part of his "7-point plan" for world domination). But then, you'll just say that we're "engaging him on his own turf" or whatever. No matter what the situation, you can always justify Foreign Interventionism. You'll just change your argument based on your beliefs, facts be damned.
It would never occur to you to just let Shi'ites and Sunnis kill eachother. Never occur to you that we might be better off just keeping our feet out of the snake pit, and letting the vipers kill eachother.
It occurred to Reagan. But somehow, you'll never see the wisdom in that.
Yes you could point out that Laden wanted us in. But then you’d have to admit that in light of his most recent communiqué, he’s acknowledges what a buffoon he actually was to wish for that. That being the case, it’s rather difficult for a sane person to argue that going in was a mistake. Osama is crying in his goat milk, and Ron and you are very upset that this came to pass. And you can’t see this for what it is. Sheesh.
Yes, I guess we should all hang our heads in shame for in effect declaring war on the terrorists after 09/11. While we’re at it, let’s also admit what fools we were for declaring war after Pearl Harbor. Just damn us pinhead foreign interventionists, always looking for a contemptible reason to do the unthinkable. LMAO
As long as Shiites and Sunnis are fighting each other, there is cause to worry about those fights spreading across the region. And when the destabilized region goes poof and oil production dies, I’m sure Ron will have an answer for that too. So on top of us supposedly to be against the WOT, we’re to be hopeful of continued strife in the ME, and ignore the threat to a flow of oil. I guess I’d never quite thought of it that way. Very good. Not!
Not only are we to be upset about a reduction in terrorism, there is cause to be pissed that the supply of energy might be stable. Oh dang.
Reagan did pull our troops home after the barrack bombing. He did not refuse to react to a terrorist attack on our soil that could have easily cost us more than 50 thousand lives.
Your attempt to equate the two is just pathetic.
