Thanks for your input.....

This is good..

(Editor's Note: The controversial claim that Osama bin Laden was cooperating with Saddam Hussein is an ongoing matter of intense debate. While the assertions contained in this document clearly support the claim, the sourcing is questionable — i.e. an unnamed Afghan "informant" reporting on a conversation with another Afghan "consul." The date of the document — four days after 9/11 — is worth noting but without further corroboration, this document is of limited evidentiary value.)

It does pay to read the links..

Donald Rumsfeld met with Saddam Hussein you know.. and there's.. like pictures and such. Seems the CIA met with Bin Laden when they gave him weapons to fight the Soviets.

So what the hell is your point? Are you still trying to justify the Iraqi debacle?

Yes.. Saddam was a bad guy.. Yes.. the Iraqis might (just might) be better off without him if they can manage to stop killing each other.. But, the justifications were bogus and the price paid was too much.

I'll say this one more time for you.

The United States Military is not in the business of freeing an oppressed people through years of war and occupation. We don't declare war on bad dictators and send 150 thousand troops in.


I didn't frame that last paragraph very well..

In other words.. if the Iraqis wanted a new government, they would have got themselves a new government. That's what revolutions are for.. It was not our place to invade and occupy their country.


How about that Ben Domenech fella, eh?

Oh my god that's hillarious..


Gravatar More interestingly, than did Saddam meet with Bin Laden, did you see the report that Russian spies might have been feeding Hussein information on US troop movements just days before he was ousted?

The Washington Times is quoting a DOD history, which I can't find on the DOD website, so take it for what it's worth.

Russia has, of course, denied the claims.

What does this do for US foreign policy?


Gravatar Russia working against the US, there's a shocker.....

Don't forget they are helping Iran build their nukes.

And I heard SoS Rice's interviews on Sun. She really needs to come up with a line that's better than "We're going to look into it."

Gravatar Ben Domenech

Who?

Oh, the "conservative" blogger over at the WAPO.

Yes, he should lose his job for plagiarizing others but other than that, BFD.

At least he wasn't outing national security issues like Dana Priest.

Oh yes.. the party security apparatus needs to deal with him.. And Scooter as well.. LOL

I can just imagine you have posters of McCarthy right alongside Himmler..

So.. can we just nuke Russia now? And Iran.. We've got enough nukes to go around.. For god's sake, North Korea says they've got long range nukes and are going to nuke us first.. Surely, since the standard for invading Iraq was the presumption they had weapons and connections to terrorism (despite really having either), shouldn't we vaporize nations that actually do?

Then again, we'd likely have to have a general draft of young Republicans to bolster the military.. because Russia, Iran, and North Korea likely won't just drop their weapons and run away..

Saw a quote this morning that made me think of you..

100% and 5000 miles behind our troops.

That goes for you too Nick.. strapping young lad needs to be in the Army..


Gravatar The Washington Times is quoting a DOD history

So.. like.. the "Reverend" Moon actually had the crown placed on his head by a Republican Congressman before he proclaimed himself the new "Messiah".. You know.. not just a prophet, but the actual 2nd comming of your Lord..

Now.. I'm not saying the owner of the Washington times is insane and highly dangerous.. because he could, in fact, be like Jesus' brother.. but if he's not.. then it might be a good idea to understand that he's out of his freaking mind.. which might just influence the what's published in the paper..


Gravatar Deal with HER, Dana Priest is a her.

Gravatar I stand corrected.. on the gender of a person I had never heard of before.

This is rather amusing. The UPI is reporting that Scalia extended the finger of hostility to some reporters just after attending Mass. Apparently there are pictures, but I can't find them as of yet..

He's been pretty nutty as of late.

oh.. and I wonder if this Delta sgt. has a book coming out?

Why does he hate America and love the terraists?


Gravatar Why does that guy need a book?

I'm sure he work in every thing he said in that commerci...err interview into his TV show.
