All correct... where's Bin Ladin? Ooops.

Well they let jarheads, and ground pounders go after him. They should
have sent the Navy. The battle of tora bora would have been named to
birth of the glass canyon had the Navy been asked to take out Ossama
there.

I like that... send in the Seals! :-)


Bush invaded Iraq instead of
dealing with the real threat.

I thought we were doing both.

So did I, but sadly we're not. Afganistan is also going down the
tubes.

Saddam was a dictator who brutalized his
people, but he wasn't a threat to the US or his neighbors at that time. He
might have become a threat, but there was no need to split our effort.

Yes he was. He was a threat to the whole region.

Actually, he was contained pretty well. That wouldn't have lasted
forever, but we had some time to work things out at a time of our own
choosing.

You could argue that since Ossama was hiding is a rat hole out in the
middle of bum**** no-where he is not as much a treat as Saddam was at
the time. Face it Saddam and his FN physco family was a loose cannon
that had to be dealt with.

I think recent events pretty much prove that his organization,
et. al., are still quite a threat.

Didn't have to deal with Saddam by Bushco lying to us about the threat.

Did I
mention poppy/heroin production is back on track in Afganistan? I guess we
don't have enough troops to deal with that either.


WTF should we?

No reason. I like heroin addicts.

Jon,

Would it be right for some foreign country (Muslin) to tell us how much
Corn we can grow? We can't tell them how much land can grow "Poppies"
anymore than we can tell Central American countries how much Cocoa they
can grow. It isn't OUR BUSINESS!

No, but is it ok to tell them what leaders they can have? Apparently,
there's a double standard. Are you claiming that it's ok to depose a
foreign leader who is no great threat to the US, but it's not ok to
discourage a group from fueling the heroin market? Which does greater
good or harm?
