so, the world is
not a safer place.
but we were told it would be.
and are still told this....in case you did not know, all nations are now falling into the NEW order of things, since 9-11 changed everything...right?
or no.
this is just business as usual?
anyway....
faulty intelligence is the excuse.
even from you, i see a little further down....
still no reasonable examination of how it was, and is even today, that the USA and allies were not, and are not able to catch a few crazed Arabs running around making plans.
asleep at the wheel? always behind the 8-ball?
what's the excuse for
all the faulty intelligence?
just continual blundering apparently.
always one step behind some clever Arabs who keep outsmarting everybody.
at one time we were assured they were so smart and so well funded they had
these:
just take a few minutes to look at the detail in that cartoon.
anyways....let's get the big scary issue.
As horrible awful and dictatorial as he was, Saddam kept all the radicals in line, like Bashar al-Assad, both leaders are substantially better than the alternative, as we've seen in Iraq.
oh....didn't we know that to begin with?
more faulty intelligence?
just lousy planning?
the thinks tanks were on vacation?
what's the excuse?
most people who post on this topic would consider you a radical islam sympathizer for saying those things.
you're not FOR the terrorists, are you?
I was always against the US invasion of Iraq and, as an American, I'm repelled by the very existence of something called the Department of Homeland Security.
why were you against it?
you had to get the guys who did 9-11, didn't you?
how would you have gotten them?
who were they btw if you know - got the names?
do you have a theory as to how the DHS was created and put in place and power so soon after 9-11?
do you know the timeline?
does it matter?
The response of the United States to 9/11 has been one bad mistake after another and the world is, yes, a more dangerous place because of George Bush's "war" on terror.
mistakes.
i see.
how far back can we go, into how many administrations to see the same "mistakes" made over and over again?
is there something faulty about your MIC that it can't ever get it right?
or is there a possiblity everything is actually going according to plan?
nah....that could never enter into it.
just mistake after mistake.
i won't post any links, since i don't want rachel to think i'm trying to impress you
even this might be too egotistical of me, but here goes:
Lesley Stahl:[re - US-led embargo on Iraq] “We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?”
Madeleine Albright, then US. Ambassador the the UN (1996): “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.”
now, unless i'm wrong, Ms. Albright did not say, we had faulty intelligence or anything like that.
she didn't say we made a mistake.
what she said clearly (representing the American people with her use of "WE") was:
that the embargo on Iraq which caused the deaths of a half million children
was worth it.
the price (a half million children) was worth it.
what is IT she was referring to?
what exactly
WAS IT that was worth it (and that was back in 96)?
By now, you might guess I have little tolerance for neocons, so I vote for other guy.
neocons?
what's a neocon?
who are they?
why do you have little tolerance for them?
what's so wrong about them? they keep making mistakes and relying on faulty intelligence?
is that what the problem is?
None of the above, and nothing that Rachel writes, abrogates your psychotic level of antisemitism.
It's a good thing this thread started, we can let the sun shine in.
okay.
why don't you write out in point form what you see as my antisemitism.
we can decide later if it is at "psychotic levels".
- you'll need to define that as well.
feel free to find use words like nazi; and.....nazi....or whatever else you have.
i'll save you some time up front so you needn't waste it (or mine).
you'll never find me saying i hate jews - anywhere, ever.
if you can find it, post it.
so define your
accusation, being as precise as you can.
this is quite a charge, and now you have to prove it.
[at least, one would think you would not only be able to do so, that
you would want to back this up].
please stay focused on your accusation. that is now my interest.
try to avoid useless emotionally charged rhetoric....oh.
without it you have no case.
maybe i'm wrong though....
post away....i'll be back later.
one last thing:
The response of the United States to 9/11 has been one bad mistake after another and the world is, yes, a more dangerous place because of George Bush's "war" on terror.
George Bush's War on Terror?
did he act alone in it?
just a lone nut again? a rogue?
acting outside the will of the govt and 'the people'?
why are you blaming him?
see you later
