Here's what I find odd. Seems that those who have already
concluded
that Obama is a bad president, even though he hasn't been in
office
yet, are the very same ones that didn't see that Bush would be
a
miserable failure, and STILL don't see it.

Who has made conclusions that Obama will be a bad president?

Bush wasn't a miserable failure. His accomplishments in Iraq
and
Afghanistan are remarkable. If it hadn't been for the Barney
Frank
crowd,
he would have had a great economy going for him.
John H


Too bad he failed to punish the country responsible for attacking
us.


What country would you have had him 'punish'?

15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from one country. That
country,
to this day, broadcasts strong anti-American sentiment on their
government owned radio. That same government, having close ties to
the
Bush administration, walked away from the mess, entirely
unchallenged
by the US government for their role in the death of 3,000
Americans.
Their hands are just as dirty as Afghanistan's.

In addition, although this country has claimed to arrest Al Qaeda
operatives within their borders, I don't think any have been
charged
(or accused) of having terrorist targets *outside* of that
country's
borders.

Afghanistan makes sense, but why punish Iraq and then let this
country
go free.....


Doubters will attempt to trash the source of this information. That
will
be
funny to watch, as the doubters try and rain disrespect all over OUR
SOLDIERS, who uncovered the information about our so-called
"allies",
who
provided the majority of foreign fighters who came to kill our
soldiers.

"The data come largely from a trove of documents and computers
discovered
in
September, when American forces raided a tent camp in the desert
near
Sinjar, close to the Syrian border. The raid's target was an
insurgent
cell
believed to be responsible for smuggling the vast majority of
foreign
fighters into Iraq. The most significant discovery was a collection
of
biographical sketches that listed hometowns and other details for
more
than
700 fighters brought into Iraq since August 2006."


I suppose, using your logic, we should wreak havoc on Mexico from
whence
have come a whole passel of murderers, rapists, and other assorted
felons.

if
you can call it logic.


Doug. I've presented nothing. I've asked a question. You've still not
answered it.


It's been long enough since 9/11 for you to know who really attacked us.
You
really can't answer the question, can you? You don't know who attacked us.

Suggestion: Move your TV set to the attic for a year. Football is rotting
your brain, old soldier.


Doug, have you ever noticed that many liberals, when asked a question,
willl ignore the question, quickly change the subject, or begin with
personal insults, rather than simply answer the question?

Here, oh brave man, "What country would you have had him 'punish'?"

My goal at this point in the discussion is to find out if you can name the
country which attacked us on 9/11. You may be avoiding the answer because
you believe the attackers did not officially represent the country from
which most of them originated. That's just an opinion which I do not share.

So, let's keep it simple: Where did most of the attackers come from? "New
Jersey", "Germany" or "Florida" are not permissible answers.

OK - just out of curiosity, I'll name the country: Saudi Arabia. Now I'm

because more than any other country you can name, they were responsible
9/11.

Saudi Arabia was also responsible for sending more foreign fighters than any
other into Iraq.

Tell me why we could not have done to Saudi Arabia what we did to Iraq.

The acts of the 9/11 thugs ***WERE*** sanctioned after the fact by the royal
family, which, in case you don't know, are the entirety of the government of
Saudi Arabia. That's hard for Americans to wrap their heads around because
we have no such arrangement here. In the past, I've told you to read more,
and you've provided some sort of nonsensical response. I'll try again. Get
to your library:

http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Devil.../dp/1400050219


If you believe that we should 'punish' Saudi Arabia for the acts of a few
of its current or former citizens, then that logic should be applied to
any
country from whence citizens have acted against the people or properties
of
this country.

How about when the actions of one ruler do not represent the desires of his
citizens? We don't need to pursue this idea any further, now do we?

Nice try. No....wait. Not even "nice". Lame.

Here's what I find odd. Seems that those who have already
concluded
that Obama is a bad president, even though he hasn't been
in
office
yet, are the very same ones that didn't see that Bush would
be
a
miserable failure, and STILL don't see it.

Who has made conclusions that Obama will be a bad
president?

Bush wasn't a miserable failure. His accomplishments in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan are remarkable. If it hadn't been for the
Barney
Frank
crowd,
he would have had a great economy going for him.
John H


Too bad he failed to punish the country responsible for
attacking
us.


What country would you have had him 'punish'?

15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from one country. That
country,
to this day, broadcasts strong anti-American sentiment on
their
government owned radio. That same government, having close
ties
to
the
Bush administration, walked away from the mess, entirely
unchallenged
by the US government for their role in the death of 3,000
Americans.
Their hands are just as dirty as Afghanistan's.

In addition, although this country has claimed to arrest Al
Qaeda
operatives within their borders, I don't think any have been
charged
(or accused) of having terrorist targets *outside* of that
country's
borders.

Afghanistan makes sense, but why punish Iraq and then let this
country
go free.....


Doubters will attempt to trash the source of this information.
That
will
be
funny to watch, as the doubters try and rain disrespect all over
OUR
SOLDIERS, who uncovered the information about our so-called
"allies",
who
provided the majority of foreign fighters who came to kill our
soldiers.

"The data come largely from a trove of documents and computers
discovered
in
September, when American forces raided a tent camp in the desert
near
Sinjar, close to the Syrian border. The raid's target was an
insurgent
cell
believed to be responsible for smuggling the vast majority of
foreign
fighters into Iraq. The most significant discovery was a
collection
of
biographical sketches that listed hometowns and other details
for
more
than
700 fighters brought into Iraq since August 2006."


I suppose, using your logic, we should wreak havoc on Mexico
from
whence
have come a whole passel of murderers, rapists, and other
assorted
felons.

Based on YOUR logic, we should've attacked Peru in retaliation for
Pearl
Harbor.


Enuff. Bye.


It's fun to scare you away like this. You can't face your own
"logic",
if
you can call it logic.


Doug. I've presented nothing. I've asked a question. You've still
not
answered it.


It's been long enough since 9/11 for you to know who really attacked
us.
You
really can't answer the question, can you? You don't know who attacked
us.

Suggestion: Move your TV set to the attic for a year. Football is
rotting
your brain, old soldier.


Doug, have you ever noticed that many liberals, when asked a question,
willl ignore the question, quickly change the subject, or begin with
personal insults, rather than simply answer the question?

Here, oh brave man, "What country would you have had him 'punish'?"

My goal at this point in the discussion is to find out if you can name
the
country which attacked us on 9/11. You may be avoiding the answer
because
you believe the attackers did not officially represent the country from
which most of them originated. That's just an opinion which I do not
share.

So, let's keep it simple: Where did most of the attackers come from?
"New
Jersey", "Germany" or "Florida" are not permissible answers.


Your statement: Too bad he failed to punish the country responsible for
attacking us.

My question: What country would you have had him 'punish'?


OK - just out of curiosity, I'll name the country: Saudi Arabia. Now I'm
curious to hear you explain why we could not have punished Saudi Arabia,
because more than any other country you can name, they were responsible
9/11.

Saudi Arabia was also responsible for sending more foreign fighters than
any
other into Iraq.

Tell me why we could not have done to Saudi Arabia what we did to Iraq.


Thank you. But, first things first.

You seem to think that the government and people of a country are
responsible and should be punished for the acts its current or former
citizens against the citizens or properties of this county, whether or not
those acts are sanctioned by the government of the country.

The acts of the 9/11 thugs ***WERE*** sanctioned after the fact by the royal
family, which, in case you don't know, are the entirety of the government of
Saudi Arabia. That's hard for Americans to wrap their heads around because
we have no such arrangement here. In the past, I've told you to read more,
and you've provided some sort of nonsensical response. I'll try again. Get
to your library:


"...after the fact...."

http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Devil.../dp/1400050219

Now, this sounds like a book to put your faith in.

"Most of the stories he extends are mostly stories either heard on the
street or stuff he learned of from acquaintances. Such sources usually
disfigure facts, if not totally make them up. Some of the stories sound
more like weak plots for low-budget movies rather than real life incidents,
such as the Million Dollars briefcase "accidentally" left behind by
Khashoggi, a Saudi Billionaire, after meeting with Richard Nixon."


If you believe that we should 'punish' Saudi Arabia for the acts of a few
of its current or former citizens, then that logic should be applied to
any
country from whence citizens have acted against the people or properties
of
this country.

How about when the actions of one ruler do not represent the desires of his
citizens? We don't need to pursue this idea any further, now do we?


There have been many more than 18 murderers, rapists, plunderers, and
pillagers who've illegally entered this country from Mexico.

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

Nice try. No....wait. Not even "nice". Lame.


Doug, have you ever noticed that YOU, when asked a question,
will ***ignore the question***, quickly change the subject, or begin with

No, not 'onward'.

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

SOLDIERS, who uncovered the information about our so-called
"allies",
who
provided the majority of foreign fighters who came to kill our
soldiers.

"The data come largely from a trove of documents and computers
discovered
in
September, when American forces raided a tent camp in the desert
near
Sinjar, close to the Syrian border. The raid's target was an
insurgent
cell
believed to be responsible for smuggling the vast majority of
foreign
fighters into Iraq. The most significant discovery was a
collection
of
biographical sketches that listed hometowns and other details for
more
than
700 fighters brought into Iraq since August 2006."

I suppose, using your logic, we should wreak havoc on Mexico from
whence
have come a whole passel of murderers, rapists, and other assorted
felons.

Based on YOUR logic, we should've attacked Peru in retaliation for
Pearl
Harbor.

Enuff. Bye.

It's fun to scare you away like this. You can't face your own "logic",
if
you can call it logic.

Doug. I've presented nothing. I've asked a question. You've still not
answered it.

It's been long enough since 9/11 for you to know who really attacked us.
You
really can't answer the question, can you? You don't know who attacked
us.

Suggestion: Move your TV set to the attic for a year. Football is
rotting
your brain, old soldier.

Doug, have you ever noticed that many liberals, when asked a question,
willl ignore the question, quickly change the subject, or begin with
personal insults, rather than simply answer the question?

Here, oh brave man, "What country would you have had him 'punish'?"
My goal at this point in the discussion is to find out if you can name the
country which attacked us on 9/11. You may be avoiding the answer because
you believe the attackers did not officially represent the country from
which most of them originated. That's just an opinion which I do not
share.

So, let's keep it simple: Where did most of the attackers come from? "New
Jersey", "Germany" or "Florida" are not permissible answers.

Your statement: Too bad he failed to punish the country responsible for
attacking us.

My question: What country would you have had him 'punish'?


OK - just out of curiosity, I'll name the country: Saudi Arabia. Now I'm
curious to hear you explain why we could not have punished Saudi Arabia,
because more than any other country you can name, they were responsible
9/11.

Did the Saudi Arabian government send the people or did the people go on
their on accord?

Saudi Arabia was also responsible for sending more foreign fighters than any
other into Iraq.

Did the Saudi Arabian government send the people or did the people go on
their on accord?

Tell me why we could not have done to Saudi Arabia what we did to Iraq.

Iraq was a threat to the flow of oil in the entire region. The US
military's presence in Saudi Arabia was a threat to the ruling family
and thus a threat to the stability of the country and its oil.

Regardless of what you think oil is extremely important to our daily
lives, we cannot live without it right now. Also, the fact that we
cannot drill for it off our own coasts, due to Democrats in Congress and
environmental wackos, is the reason we are in the middle east. If we
pumped our own oil out of the ground where ever it is found we would be
better off.

The Saudi royal family (which is the Saudi government in its entirety) gives
cash support to schools which turn out terrorists. When any of our
politicians (rarely) suggest that the Saudis need to own up to their crimes,
those politicians are quickly muzzled. If I recall, there have been perhaps
two "what a heinous crime" comments from congressmen since 9/11. That's it.
That's all.

Only last year did the Saudis begin making a token effort to "rehabilitate"
people yelling about jihad. You didn't read about this, did you?

any other into Iraq.

They were aware of it and did nothing to stop it. Therefore, they had intent
to see it continue. Thanks for asking. That was an excellent question.

Right. Time to eliminate the ruling family. We built that country. Time to
take it back.

You never saw me say that oil was not worth protecting, using our military
to do so.
