I can not agree with you in 100% regarding some thoughts, but you got good point of view

Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts !

Damn, one more day with boy Bush in office. This really sucks.

Looks like boy Bush supports the terrorists.

I see you continue with your simpleton logic and moronic comments. How did your 401k do today? Have you enlisted to go fight the “war” in Iraq or do you continue to beat the war drums for a conflict that you are not even brave enough or committed enough to put yourself on the line for?

Cowardice such as yours is rare in general, but seems to be a requirement for the current GOP crowd and its apologists. Join the army and go to war to participate in the “noble” mission you claim it to be. To not do so would reveal that you are a farce and are without honor. Goodbye puss.

Only the most willfully ignorant neo-con shill could possibly equate a US diplomat telling the leader of a foreign country, a country that had not attacked us our any of our allies that the US wants peace with that country as being in bed with that leader.

uh huh, just like ol’ peanut head trapesing around the globe selling his snake oil…er, hate for america. And cindy sheehan, and BJ Clinton, and algore, and…..
why do liberals hate america?
and another thing, HITLER had not attacked US assets…YET, but he had invaded other countries for no reason. Did they ask us for help? did we help them? Would YOU rather we didn’t?

Yep, that’s it. We are soon (geologically, cosmologically, Estee’ Lauder speaking) to be squished lil’ pecker heads, burnt to the proverbial crisp. Or is it chips. I can never remember, is it English Chips and American crisps? Or the other way around? I have lost my bearings. I stare up at the sun and burn tiny little holes my cornea. Or is the corealis effect? Which way do the Cheneys go down the toilet, clock-wise or counter clockwise? Course we could be in Argentina where everything goes backward. After that it’s batten down the hatches and have a firm grip on the George Dickel bottle. Okay, okay, how about some genteel (not gentile, ya shmuck) sipping of martini’s with our pinkies (you call yours what you want, but mine’s Pinkie) extended.

I wasn’t intending on giving a history lesson today, but okay.

We, the USA, engaged in WWII not to attack Hitler, but in response to the declaration of war made by Germany (which they were forced into politically). Our “allies” were begging for our assistance prior to our becoming involved. Ironically, the same factions that were reluctant to confront Hitler (and those that were profiting off of him) are of the same ilk that make up the PNAC, AEI, and Carlyle Group.

We, the USA, attacked Japan (more accurately, “engaged” them but I will keep in line with your simpleton logic) because they declared war on the US and attacked (Pearl Harbor) the US.

We did not attack Korea. We engaged in a “police action” that then became a “war” in name only. We were actually fighting the Chinese for resources and we ended up just splitting it 50-50. (Keep in mind that the “war” is still on, we are currently just engaged in a “truce”)

We, the USA, attacked the “Taliban” because, to put it delicately, we were too cowardly (at least the administration) to attack Saudi Arabia/Al Qaeda, the actual criminals who perpetrated 9/11 (notwithstanding the various conspiracy theories that have merits to them).

In the case of WWII, we were in fact defending humanity against mass murderers and protecting freedom. In the case of Korea and Vietnam (nice omission freak!) we were just pursuing corporate interests. In regard to Bosnia, Kosovo, and Haiti we were fighting the perpetrators of genocide, but somehow the arms dealers (US government and US corporations being the monopoly in this market) find it in their hearts to exploit the situation for profit.

You have your panties in a fluff about all of the evil dictators/leaders in history but it is odd that you leave out “George W Bush” since he is personally responsible for the extermination/genocide of over 600,000 Iraqis. Not to mention the needless killings of US service members. But your mind is small, I understand that.

All of the wars of choice in the 20th century and beyond that the US has engaged in have been lost. Highly profitable, mind you, but lost from the standpoint of the stated objectives. This is not by coincidence or a statistical anomaly. The question any sane person asks is why would we engage in such abominations knowing what we know from history? The answer: because of the agenda of the Military Industrial Complex. You know, what President (and General) Dwight D Eisenhower warned all patriotic Americans about. You either weren’t listening or you aren’t part of the intended audience.

Hope that clears up your “confusion” with reality. Puss.

Sure, the same with Puerto Rico, Okinawa, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hawaii, Nicaragua, Panamá, Mexico, Uruguay, Granada, Haití, Guatemala, El Salvador, Angola, East Timor, Korea, Somalia, Iraq, etc. etc. etc.

Geez, a lot of mass murderers…

Don’t kneejerk this one–this guy is a very real resistance fighter from Lebanon who’s fought against everyone from Syria to the PLO.

Yeah. Including us. And he’s also fought FOR Syria. You just go ahead and jump on that Walid Jumblatt bandwagon. I think I’ll pass:

As Jumblatt raises the ante, hope for a cease-fire may be slipping away

Meanwhile, Pierre Gemayel, father of the President and leader of the right-wing Phalange Party, called for a “popular mobilization” of Christian forces “to support their fighters who are defending the Lebanese entity on the front lines.” The war of words between the Druze and the Christians erupted into periodic artillery duels, while the Druze fire against Lebanese Army positions sent shells flying dangerously close to the U.S. Marine base at Beirut International Airport. When President Reagan expressed continued support of President Gemayel’s government last week, Jumblatt, who is dependent on Syrian arms supplies, retorted, “The Lebanese people are fighting the Americans, and Lebanon will become their new Viet Nam.”
