Has it occurred to anyone else that Jake might be Righty?

No. Jake is more literate than Righty.

[quote="Jake";p="328398"]Some causes are worth getting involved in. Some aren't. And it doesn't always require the 82nd Airborne. Was Saddam a bad person? Yep. Was he more of a threat to the United States of America than half a dozen other countries? Nope. Not IMO. And if it's the mission of the neocons to stick their noses in every conflict around the world, why aren't you people more upset about the situation in Darfur... Peru... Colombia? The point is, the neocons had such a h/o for going into Iraq that we're now in a corner with regards to Iran and North Korea. After Dumbo's yer ither wid us or agin us foolishness, we'd do well to get a troop of foreign boyscouts to back us against these REAL threats. And meanwhile, I say, MEANWHILE... where is Osama? Huh?! Where is Osama?!


How so? It would be a volunteer force. And being that I wouldn't volunteer for a foolish cause that doesn't concern me, my only trouble would be deciding on what to have for dinner. But you kids have fun without me.


I had ancestors on both sides of that war. But being that the "home team" won, I wouldn't change anything that Lee did. I also would NOT suggest to Stonewall Jackson that he shouldn't ride his horse after dark. Smooth move, Stonie. But hey, I didn't tell Duhbya to fly that Mission Accomplished banner. They have medication these days for premature reactions. Maybe he should try a pill or three.


You better go back and check my posts from the first day I came on this site. One of the reasons I voted for Bush (the first time around) was because he said he would NOT engage in nation building. He said he would NOT devote this nation's resources to nation building. He used the attacks of 9/11 to go on that very mission. He proved himself to be a liar in my eyes. Neocons, liberals, commies, fascists and all the rest... they can vote for all manner of wealth and democracy redistribution schemes. But you won't have to wait until AFTER the vote for me to disagree with it. I'm sorry that so many have had to die in Bush's failing crusade in the sand. But even if it had worked out, I GENERALLY do not believe in nation building with U.S. taxpayer funds and American lives. That is not the same as isolationism. But most neocons seem too simple minded and thick to understand the difference. Put simply... Iraq dumb/bad... Afghanistan smart/good.

If I can help others, I help them. I think our nation should do the same. But in no case do I believe we should borrow (yes, we're basically borrowing money from the Chinese to throw away in Iraq!!! ), while depriving our own, to get involved in matters that are not our business. But that's why the logo for my crack force of crazy brave, armchair neocon warriors will be the nose buried in the buttocks: Everybody else's business is our business. Hoo ha!

That first rowboat leaves for Iraq on the morning of Febrary 30th ( ). Be there or be square.

You yankies are really something else LOL
you quickly forget that your own country supported and basically put Saddam in power back when you needed an ally against Iran.
You history is such a joke.
You last defence secretary was buddy buddy with Saddam in 1988 and in 1993 Saddam is your enemy.
You did the same thing with Bin Laden when you needed someone to fight the Russians on Afghanistan.
You people are a real joke.
Prove to me that there were Terrorist cells in Iraq BEFORE you people invaded.
1 dictator, yes but no Taliban terrorist.
the murders Saddam did were over 20 years old, why did it take you so long to remove him?
Oh that's right you were allies with him 20 years ago.
Hmm interesting how the all powerful States can turn a blind eye when it suits them.
Tell me, the Taliban are still in Afghanistan, why did your military pull out before the job was done?
There is no proof that the Taliban is in Iraq.
The terrorist there are Iraq people because you plunged that country into a civil war.
Ya Iraq is better off now thanks to you people.
I will be so glad when the war on terror that you people started by sticking your nose where it didn't belong, finally comes to your own soil.
At least that way you will know exactly what the Iraq people are feeling every day.
You will know what it's like to try and go to a market and then having a car bomb explode next to you.
The terrorist in Iraq are targeting America interests.
If your people were not still there, the people would fight it out amongst themselves in a civil war and winner take all.
Your own country went through it's own civil war and survived.
There would be no new super dictator to take over unless the Americans put them into power like you did with Saddam.
You people are blowing the heck out of another country in the name of protecting your own.
90% of Iraq had no problem with the USA before the war.

The "sons" sent themselves off - they joined the military. You're whining because people who joined the military have to fight a war. Like whining for people who become farmers have to get up at 5 am to milk the cows!

Yaaaaaa I know - the cause of liberating western euros from dictators is worth it, the europeans who saw that dictatorship and the liberation by U.S. army who knew what it meant have largely passed away, the euros who now exist can be blase about torture and rape rooms and mass murder - because it isn't happening to them and their families.
