34. Poppy Bush was evil, but not stupid.
George Sr, a CIA veteran since probably Day One of the organization's existence knew the political and religious realities of Iraq and knew that Saddam had been a stabilizing presence in the country, albeit a brutal one. (Not like that part bothered the CIA, who probably taught him eveything he knew).

In fact, anyone who witnessed what happenned in the Yugoslavia region after the breakup of the Eastern Bloc should have known that Iraq would have similar results. The arrogance of these PNAC bastards to think it would have been a "cakewalk" is only surpassed by the stupidity of the Chimp they picked for a frontman.

27. Been doing well...I was worried your post meant that you were referring to
the DU and leaving us (Thanks for the memories...)...

The Pachafamily is good. We are getting ready for the holidays and next week is the littlest one's B-day....

I'd ask how Memphis is doing and all the other crap your doing, but my hunch is its still the same. You need anything? Please let me know....

:hi:

6. Yeh...

Good to see that April Glaspie discussion mentioned. I've lost count of the times I've heard "Well......He invaded Kuwait as well as gassing his own people!!"

These people should be put in charge of the nations high school curriculum.

31. "April Glaspie." That little glossed-over detail.
Edited on Thu Dec-08-05 09:49 PM by nicknameless
For once, her name was included in a bloody review.

Hi, CanSocDem :hi:

On edit: Hadn't checked your profile before welcoming you. You've been here longer than I have. ;)

18. Blumrich Uses Those Animations Like A Ninja.
Guts the administration daily and they don't even see him coming in the dark. Wingers would do well to stop being tools of this fascist regime.

Kicker and Nod.

25. Great find!!
Too many people don't know the history & the fact that "We've ALWAYS had him!"

Thanks for sharing. It's going out to all friends & some not so friends, as well.

26. Saw the flash a long time ago...
It's interesting how we made dictators our friends until he's no use to us anymore.

Wonder if the same thing goes to the presidents of Uzbekistan and Pakistan.

35. Saddam - just another prick in OUR wall.
http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/html/bring-the-boys-back-home-wall.html

"Bring the boys back home.
Bring the boys back home.
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no.
Bring the boys back home.

"Wrong! Do it again!"
"Time to go!
"Are you feeling okay?"
"There's a man answering, but he keeps hanging up!"
Is there anybody out there?"

40. Hmmm. Odd.
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 08:06 AM by DistressedAmerican
Not really sure what is up with that. Shame though. You'd like the back and forth. I have been laughing my ass off. I'll shoot off a PM to the admin over there and see if he knows a way around the issue.

On edit, I see there was typo in the name I sent. Maybe that was the issue. SHould read:
www.liberalunderground.org you can also try this: http://liberalunderground.activeboard.com/

Try that. It may work for you.
