managed to mess it up and help set the stage for 911 by effectively deserting the afghanis once the russians pulled out, leaving a vacuum the terrorists and the pakistanis were only too happy to fill. If I'm not mistaken the Dem controlled congress in 1990 voted against any further funding/presence in a
Hijacked article to propagate your own fantasies. Highjacked my ass....now if I didnt include the writer/site I pulled it from then I might agree with you...the article is unchanged...and I did cite that I did not write it.....or are you just trolling for issues to bitch at....
If the victims were white there would be help on the way. Not quite...First off remember the situation Europe had in oh say the Balkins? Bosnia anyone?....The UN was pretty much deaf, dumb and blind on those situations...and that was not on Europe's doorstep but rather inside the house itself....it
Regardless of wether Osama was a "SGT York, Rock whatever" They were funded by the CIA. On Ronnie's orders. Actually what I said was the myths being put out claiming Bin Laden was some super afghan fighter are a load of crap.....for the most part the closest Bin Ass came to the fighting was driving an
As far as JC certifying the elections of Chavez and Arafat. The people voted for them. Democracy right? The problem is that our government preaches democratic elections are the way. But they don't like it when somebody they don't support is fairly ele Fair elections my ass....Carter was only allowed to
what carter does or doesnt do as a private citizen attaches only to himself. what a sitting president orders--in direct violation of legislation duly enacted by congress--is a whole other story. Yes and no....depends on the individual....but when you factor in ex-presidents....then its a different ballg
I think the title should have been "Why the right loves Osama". It wasn't bubba or Carter who supplied Osama with weapons during the 1980's. Geez...I wonder who it could have been? Also, who was it who supplied weapons to BOTH sides during the Iran/Iraq war? Answer: Ronald Wilson Reagan. Actually, Bin Laden was never 1) train
Since I wrote this bit of venting....further developments in the mid-east have occured...very promising ones...first off, regarding saddams half-brother's capture...it seems he was captured/turned over with 29 other former baathists/regime elements....... Egypt's president has announced opening elections, guess it will no longer be Mubarik or Mubarik for that one...... Lebanon's goverment resigned enmass opening the way for a general elec
I'm glad I'm a Commy bent on the destruction of America because I happen to be on the left. Actually if one bothers to examine many of the left-wing groups protesting the war on terror, the current US administration, etc, one finds they hide under the blanket cloak of "peace-activists" but in fact suppo
The UN has so many serious flaws, aside from being akin to a grand jury (they can make indictments, but lack enforcement power) that its almost laughable....if the UN was just a private owned company, the resulting flack from scandal after scandal would have seen a shake up in the organization, federal oversight, and serious accounting of their books....and thats the problem.....people may be shocked at the oil for food scandal but fail to realise that
Ya gotta love Canadian attitudes on this one....wonder if a nuke goes off will they send the mounties? they always get their man.... Enough bashing of a weakass nation like Canada....as to M.D., it is an evolving defense system...some of the problems were simple failures in areas where technology isnt the issue.....one failed test was due not to the missle itself but a simple case of dead batteries I believe inside the silo itself....another p
I'm shaking my head already, wonder why the left seems somewhat quiet over the years about the 20,000 Syrian troops occupying Lebanon? They are not shy bout bitching US troops occupying Iraq for less than a few years....wonder if the change after 9-11 in US policy has will have anything to do with the possibly ending Sy
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::BEGIN TRANSMITION:::::::::::::::::::::::: Syria, land of terrorists, goverment hardliners and the region's/ worlds only other Baathist controlled nation. Recently, Syria is getting more and more attention from both media and goverments around the world....all of it bad, but why? Well, for starters, sin
Screw them. Blue. If something is hurtling toward the US, I would much rather apologize profusely than sacrifice thousands of Americans for the sake of their soveriegn airspace And just why should we apologise in the first place? Canada has been and will continue to be a leach on US military budgets
Few points I'd add...in the first gulf war, France sent an aircraft carrier there.....but not before removing every aircraft and helicopter and replace them with trucks...essentially making it a cargoship...go figure...another point...with the exception of the UK, our allies during Iraq 1 capabilities were less than their media and ego's hyped... In the aftermath of Iraq 2, reams of evidence have been piling up showing our "friends" illegal a

France becomes the first and only country to ever lose two wars when fighting Italians. Okay as an Italian-American I find this almost as offensive as it is funny...

Maybe because Europeans see other options besides blowing something up. Actually they Euro's "look" for other options as you put it is because they can't blow anything up, with the slim exception of the Uk, the rest of Europe is quite frankly a joke....militarily speaking.....by the way if the euros/nat
You would be WRONG! Although it did sustain damage from the volcano, that is NOT the reason it closed. It was closed at the request of the Philippine senate Geez...calm down....did I scream you were wrong or an idiot or anything of that nature....no . I simply stated that I believed it was closed due to

After doing some surf'n I ran into this intresting (at least in my opinion) little article and thought I'd like to see whats everyones take on it. (By the way to all my fans on the left (who hate me for some reason, come on you know you do) I am back-Couchman) Why the Left Loves Osama By Nelson Ascher Europundits.blogspot.com | February 11, 2005
Great Post Couchman. Thanks for the info, some I already knew, but some very insighful. Yes, I really hate citing facts......as those on the left nearly explode everytime...... As to the elections...lets all remembers something thats rarely talked bout any more....For instance, just after the
we are the infrastructure there, now, like it or not. To a certain extent you are correct...problem is aside from Baghdad and certain small locations, the infrastructure of Iraq was basicly left to rot since the 1950's...what was there anyway.... Now on to some other things....first..the sect t
The point of the matter is that the US government ignored or disregarded the threat for years. It wasn't just the current administration. For years Washington used hindsight when it came to airline security. In my opinion, when you say this you are leaving out one very large group of individuals to whi
If China got a bug up it's ass and decided to play the attack card on Taiwan, conventionally....their ass would be handed to them with the U.S.'s regards...People look at China and only see the size of their military....whats not appairent to them is what lies beneath the myth that is China as a "superpower". It isnt..at best China is a landlocked regional power that lacks both a blue water navy and any ability to move more than 1 division across the
If Im not mistaken wasnt Subic Bay closed not because of the BRAC report persay but because it substained a sizeable amount of damage from a volcanic eruption? the costs of rebuilding it I believe were a prime motivator...at least I believe it was Subic Bay. For those asking when we are getting out of Iraq...take a seat and learn some history....unless they missed the part of still having troops (bout 100,000+) still deployed in western europe
