bring freedom to the island.. That lasted about 6 weeks until Castro
said, "Oh wait. Maybe I am really a communist" (after denying it for
years) and started nationalizing the whole island. Two years later we
damned near had WWIII over Cuba.

This time it might be WWIII over Israel.

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
house from 2001 to January 2009. You know, the guy who started two wars
with countries not at war with us. That dummy.

JFK was pretty stupid in that affair and was clearly thinking with his
dick not his brain.
He took this whole thing to the brink of WWIII for exactly the same
deal he could have had 10 months before without any drama.
The Soviets wanted our missiles out of Turkey, they pushed the issue
by putting missiles in Cuba and in the end we pulled the missiles out
of Turkey.
We just had a dick measuring contest that almost destroyed the world
before we did it.
I never thought this was a success, on any level. All we proved was
that the Soviets were not as crazy as we thought they were. What we
didn't understand was that Castro had operational control of some of
those missiles and that they were capable of firing them. (a serious
CIA failure)


And Bush wanted to measure dicks with somebody who didn't have one.

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

All for a dick measurement against no one.


I agree Iraq was stupid but it wasn't toying with thermonuclear war.


Your point being?

His point being that Kennedy was "toying with thermonuclear war"... What
is so hard about that. Are you such an ideologue, you can't even read a
plainly put statement? Really...

And quite frankly, the one obvious reason we went into Iraq (if we
suggest there was an alternative for the sake of "this" argument), poke
holes in the suggestion that we went in to try and get some American
troops and supply lines closer to Iran, who is still working furiously
to get a nuke to Isreal, Saudi, USA, and Europe... Think about it, if
you can get the Bush Derangement Syndrome under control for a minute...

We're not going to invade Iran absent a powerful and significant act of
war on its part so long as someone mentally competent is in the White
House. Yet another reason not to vote for Republicans.

house from 2001 to January 2009. You know, the guy who started
two wars
with countries not at war with us. That dummy.

JFK was pretty stupid in that affair and was clearly thinking
with his
dick not his brain.
He took this whole thing to the brink of WWIII for exactly the same
deal he could have had 10 months before without any drama.
The Soviets wanted our missiles out of Turkey, they pushed the
issue
by putting missiles in Cuba and in the end we pulled the missiles
out
of Turkey.
We just had a dick measuring contest that almost destroyed the
world
before we did it.
I never thought this was a success, on any level. All we proved was
that the Soviets were not as crazy as we thought they were. What we
didn't understand was that Castro had operational control of
some of
those missiles and that they were capable of firing them. (a
serious
CIA failure)

And Bush wanted to measure dicks with somebody who didn't have one.

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

All for a dick measurement against no one.

I agree Iraq was stupid but it wasn't toying with thermonuclear war.

Your point being?

His point being that Kennedy was "toying with thermonuclear war"...
What
is so hard about that. Are you such an ideologue, you can't even read a
plainly put statement? Really...

And quite frankly, the one obvious reason we went into Iraq (if we
suggest there was an alternative for the sake of "this" argument), poke
holes in the suggestion that we went in to try and get some American
troops and supply lines closer to Iran, who is still working furiously
to get a nuke to Isreal, Saudi, USA, and Europe... Think about it, if
you can get the Bush Derangement Syndrome under control for a minute...

That's about the stupidest excuse for going there that I've ever heard!


So, you don't think Iran's nukes are a threat? You don't think Pakistan
is a threat? Wow, talk about stupid...



We're not going to invade Iran absent a powerful and significant act of
war on its part so long as someone mentally competent is in the White
House. Yet another reason not to vote for Republicans.


Yeah, and in the mean time Obama is making sure there is a huge buffer
of Iran friendly countries between us, and them... We just got kicked
out of Iraq because Obama couldn't negotiate a deal to protect our
Soldiers from the Iranian influence in Iraq.

This whole Arab Spring thing can still blow up in our face if
these
guys don't turn out to be the peace loving people we hope they
will
be. I can remember people talking about what a great guy Castro
was
because he defeated that evil dictator Batista and how he was
going to
bring freedom to the island.. That lasted about 6 weeks until
Castro
said, "Oh wait. Maybe I am really a communist" (after denying
it for
years) and started nationalizing the whole island. Two years
later we
damned near had WWIII over Cuba.

This time it might be WWIII over Israel.

Fortunately, we didn't have an absolute dummy in the white house

the cuban missle crisis. We did have an absolute dummy in the

Iraq isn't and never will be one of those "friendly" post WWII defeated
countries like Japan or Germany. If we have a small force in a
*belligerent* country and it cannot protect itself, we have no business
having troops there.

Of all the problems Bush opened in his Pandora's box of invading Iraq,
the most significant was the fact that he didn't have an End Game
because...there isn't one.
