We could've "owned" Saudi Arabia as easily as we "owned" Iraq.
Probably easier, since it would've been totally unexpected. And, we
have little or no concern for what the rest of the world thinks, so
that's not a factor at all.

Hope you are listening to Romney right now.

No. What's up?
Turn off your Newsgroup reader and read some real news, either online or
the internet.



Ah ha! Excellent. Now maybe he can focus his efforts on helping some used
car dealers moved inventory with that big, fake never-ending smile of
his.

Turn off your NG reader, you need a break.



No can do. It's also the email chute. It generates money all day long.

There is no need to speculate over how many might be dead if Saddam
were still in power. What's the point of that? The point is, Bush's
actions resulted in the deaths of up to hundreds of thousands of
Iraqis, and for what? For Bush's personal political reasons.
Harry,
Instead of saying "...resulted in the deaths of up to hundreds of
thousands of Iraqis" it would be just as accurate to say *...
"resulted in the deaths of up to hundreds of millions of Iraqis". *
The way you worded that sentence it doesn't matter what number you
use, it is still a true statement.
Who cares, as long as we're bringing democracy to the Middle East, right?
"Consultative Council or Majlis al-Shura (150 members and a chairman
appointed by the monarch for four-year terms); note - though the
Council of Ministers announced in October 2003 its intent to introduce
elections for half of the members of local and provincial assemblies
and a third of the members of the national Consultative Council or
Majlis al-Shura, incrementally over a period of four to five years, to
date no such elections have been held or announced."
Maybe the country described above should be our next stop.
I wonder why ReggieTurd keeps addressing questions or making suggestions
to me?
What an ass.
Harry,
I find it easier to address my comments directly to you, instead of
pretending to have you filtered, and then making snide personal insults..
* *I love to make a comment and then wait to see how you handle it when
no one quotes my comment in a response. *You still responding to my
post, sometimes by starting a new post that address the issue I raised.
* No one really believes you use a filter anymore than you own a lobster
boat or are married to a Dr. Dr., so why bother.- Hide quoted text -

We are his muse... * what's the plual of muse, mise?? Anyway, we have
chosen our lot..

The plural of muse is muses. You do know that the Muses were female,
right? That probably explains you, but I had no idea that a bag'o'sh*t
like Reggie could be considered inspirational.- Hide quoted text -

There's that culture and sophistication Harry has!

Or helping to find decent jobs for the thousands of people he laid off...

I saw the speech. It was the usual Republican rabble-rousing right-wing
bullship, with the typical "fear factor" thrown in for good measure.

Harry,
How many people do you have on your payroll?

You can be as idealistic as you want about it but the security of this

our Achilles's heel.


30 years ago, Jimmy Carter promoted an energy initiative to be energy
independent by the year 2000. What happened? Ronald Reagan was elected
and dismantled it, stating market forces would keep the oil flowing. It
seems to me, market forces are keeping the blood flowing. We should have
listened to Carter.

around the election cycles.
He warned us that it's going to be a long, long fight.

He also told us a long, long time ago that it was Mission
Accomplished......

Good grief, has that remark ever been stretched out of context and meaning.

He wasn't referring to the war on terror.

As any good linguist or psychologist/psychiatrist will tell you, how words
are perceived is often more important than how they are meant. So, when Bush
used the term "Pakis" to describe Pakistanis, it didn't matter why he used
the term (ignorance, stupidity, a lame attempt to sound cool). The only
thing that mattered was that it's an insulting word, as far as many
Pakistanis are concerned. That trumps any possible explanation for using the
word. Case closed.

"Mission accomplished" falls into the same category, along with "This young
democracy" (describing Iraq). These tricks might work with kindergarten kids
and adults who think like children that age, but not with adults who've been
awake for 20 or 40 or 60 years.

Holy crap! He was on the deck of a freeking aircraft carrier, complimenting
it's crew for successfully completing a current, but sort term operational
mission and deployment in support of the war on terror.

The fact that many take the comment as a declaration of victory on the
entire global war on terror is their screw-up, not his.

Right after 9-11, Bush awoke from his coma and was told a bunch of
Saudis attacked. He spun around his world globe, stuck his thumb on
Iraq, and said, "attack those damn Saudis."

Good joke, but more accurately, the punch line should be: "attack
those damn Saudis by proxy". Other than the possibilty of Iraqi WMDs,
which a lot of people believed, that is one explanation that really
makes sense.
