Fortunately, we didn't have an absolute dummy in the white house during
the cuban missle crisis. We did have an absolute dummy in the white

with countries not at war with us. That dummy.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I am old enough to remember well the Cuban missile crisis and watching
JFK on television announcing the blockade.
It turns out he made the right choice of his options but most historians
agree that we were never closer to WWIII.
It could have gone another way. Khrushchev also got much of what he
wanted in under reported, secret negotiations.

I think many are too quick to condemn Bush for some of his decisions and
seem to forget that forcing Saddam Hussein
from power was not without at least 6 months of international discussion
and debate in the UN. Hussein was becoming increasingly more
defiant of the resolutions imposed by the international community (UN)
following his invasion of Kuwait, firing on
aircraft patrolling the "no fly" zone, etc. I am sure there was some
pressure from other nations as well to keep him in check.

We can only speculate on what actions Hussein would have taken if he was
not confronted. If Bush had done nothing and
Hussein had become more aggressive again, internally and with neighbors,
Bush would be regarded as a dummy for not doing anything rather than
being a dummy for the action he took. Tough job, being POTUS. I surely
would never want it.

President Obama rightly deserves some credit for helping rid the world
of Gaddafi. Hussein was also a war mongering
dictator who ruled by imposing terror on Iraqi citizens who didn't
pledge their allegiance to him. So why is Bush a dummy
and Obama a hero?

The argument that Obama took a "back seat" role versus a major military
action doesn't hold up. Different situations, different
difficulties and challenges.





O/bama seems to be implying he deserves credit for Gaddafi's killing.
Covert operations generally go un credited but Obama is changing all
that. Makes the secret services job a little tougher.

Funny, and if the attempt had failed, he would have blamed it on Bush!


Which fox news moron is saying Obama is implying *he* deserves credit
for the death of Gaddafi? I watched Obama's announcement yesterday, and
he gave credit to the United States and NATO and their coordinated
efforts and the people of Libya.

Damn, Richard, Saddam was broke. He didn't have any ability to defend
himself let alone be aggressive.

And we would have been able to further confirm the weapons inspectors
suspicions if half-cocked Bush hadn't have gotten his panties in a
bunch.

Petulant fool spent a ****load of money and American blood for nothing
because he didn't have the patience of a 12 year old.

We just had a dick measuring contest that almost destroyed the world

I never thought this was a success, on any level. All we proved was

We will have spent 5000 American lives, 50,000 wounded, 1 million
Iraqis dead or displaced.

All for a dick measurement against no one.
