Using your logic, should we not wreak havoc on Mexico?

Yes, but in a way that's appropriate to the issue.

Good, an answer. What does 'appropriate to the issue' mean
in
your
usage?



And, additionally, should we not 'punish' *any* country
whose
citizens
or
leaders expressed happiness after the 9/11 incident?

Nope. That's not a good way to use our soldiers, although
that
doesn't
matter to you.

Doug, have you ever noticed that YOU, when asked a
question,
will ignore the question, quickly change the subject, or
BEGIN
WITH
THE
PERSONAL INSULTS, rather than simply answer the question?



Are you prepared to discuss the way the Saudis caused the
deaths
of
more
soldiers in Iraq than anyone other foreign power in the
region?

Are you now *CHANGING THE SUBJECT* again?



If you are not prepared to discuss this issue, please
explain
why.
Is
there
something in the article which you believe to be
inaccurate?

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/22/wo...ghters.html?_r...

From your (unbiased) source: "The data show that despite
increased
efforts
by Saudi Arabia to clamp down on would-be terrorists since
Sept.
11,
2001,
when 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi, some Saudi
fighters
are
still
getting through."

Note also that the entire article is "...according to
senior
American
military officials." In other words, probably bull****.
You
deny
being
a
liberal but base your 'arguments' on the NY Times. 'Nuff
said.

John, you are in a labrynth of misquoted facts and
intellecual
dishonesty. You are right about Mexico though. It is a
pretty
well
documented fact that Vicente Fox encouraged and supported
the
Mexican
incursion into the US in his time as President of Mexico.
The
corruption and gangland style of government is flowing over
to
the
US
and between the border scirmishes and the gangs he has sent
here
we
have lost more US citizens than we lost in 9/11. But either
way,
Joe
is not interested in such facts, just winning little
arguments
here.

One wonders why he came back..
=================

Are you saying that if we adopt a policy in a certain part
of
the
world,
we
must be consistent and adopt it everywhere else too?


Did he say that? Wow. I missed it.



Yes, and so did you. You're trying to divert the conversation
to
include
Mexico, which is an entirely different animal from Saudi
Arabia.


No, I'm pouring an analogy over your head. You just don't like
it.


I see Mexico's government as a hopelessly corrupt and badly
orchestrated
mess. Not quite the same as Saudi Arabia. Quite a few of our
diplomats
and
intelligence officials see Saudi Arabia the same way.

What's your next move? This old ploy? "Well, how come these
people
are
all
FORMER diplomats or FORMER CIA agents? What did they do wrong?"
Forget
it.
That doesn't work.


I'm glad you see Mexico's government the way you do, but it's
not
pertinent
to the discussion.

The question on the table is, " How many lives must be taken to
warrant
the
punishment of the country. And, who must do the orchestrating?"


Your answer: More than 82 lives in one carefully orchestrated
attack.


And who must do the orchestrating?


Anyone. But, it's unlikely that you can pin individual rape or
robbery
incidents on the Mexican government. On the other hand, we have
loads
of
information which proves that the Saudi royal family donates funds
directly
to schools which train lunatics.


Why not 79 lives in two carefully orchestrated attacks?

Because I told you 82 was the number.


We have a school right here in Alexandria that has been accused
multiple
times of teaching anti-US sentiment.

I don't know if you've ever seen this, but it suggests that your
Bush-bashing about Saudi Arabia should be spread around.

http://tinyurl.com/a3arge

You *never* saw me say that Clinton did not receive the same bribes as
Bush-1, Bush-2, and all presidents back as far as Nixon.

If you disagree, find where I claimed that Clinton was clean of Saudi
bribes.


Your rationale for the number, 82, doesn't cut it.


You asked for a number. No matter what number I gave you, you would
disagree
with it. You know that.


Good, so we're done.


Here - chew on this number: 2973

By the way, if the 9/11 thugs were not working directly with any
particular
government, then why did GWB work so hard to create the impression that
there WAS a government involved?


Which government?


Iraq. And do **NOT** tell me that he did not intentionally create the
impression I described above.


OK, bye.


Yeah. You said that two messages ago, but now you're back. You said "Good,
so we're done".

Your research project for this year: Find books which describe the
relationship between Paul Wolfowitz and a thing named Manucher Ghorbanifar.
You will wonder how Wolfowitz fits into this picture. You *should* wonder.
Don't ask. I won't tell you. Go find your public library.
