manslagt, did you conveniently forget that Clinton cut trade ties to Iran?
http://www.iht.com/articles/1995/05/02/iran.php

The POINT here buddy, is that Cheney cheated Americans as a corporate schmuck by ignoring United States law. What about that do you not get?

The POINT here buddy, is the hypocritical money grubbing dishonesty that SHOULD (if you’re a “do the right thing” kind of human) make your skin crawl, is a person who is willing to bend US law as a corporatist, will sure as hell break US law as Co-President.

The issue isn’t Clinton…it’s not Hillary…it’s big dick cheney…get it right.

That was weak. I spent four years in the Marines and took an oath to defend this countryâ€™s system.

Comment by Manslagt â€” November 26, 2007 @ 4:18 pm

why have you abandoned that oath, then?

This is standard operating procedure for Republicans. Sell the enemy weapons so when you get elected you can be against them and get a bunch of our boys killed with the same weapons. Why should this idiot worry, none of his family members are serving in the military. Also it’s just another way for them to make more money.

Maybe thatâ€™s because Iran was not threatening to build nuclear weapons when Cheney was CEO of Halliburton.
Comment by Manslagt

And who says they are threatening to build nuclear weapons today. Iran says they are working on nuclear technology for energy purposes. The IAEA says there is absolutely NO proof that Iran is working on a nuclear weapon. So, how do you know they are building a nuclear weapon? Because Bush says so. You need to lay off the kool-aid RW Loon.

So how will then wipe Israel off of the map? Do you think those 3,000 centrifuges are for peaceful purposes?

No, I don’t. But at the same time, Israel has plenty of nukes as well. I don’t see Iran being much of a threat to them, considering that. Also, if Iran really wants nukes, they can always ask Pakistan for them.

Hillary Clinton supports sanctions on Iran today while her husband vetoed sanctions on Iran when he was president.
Comment by Manslagt â€” November 26, 2007 @ 3:56 pm

Earth to troll:

Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are two different people.

They are married, it’s true, but my wife doesn’t agree with me all the time on every topic. I would suspect the Clintons are no different in that respect. Duh.

â€ That Hilary holed some positions which differ from those of her husband? Horrors!â€

Iâ€™m quite certain that Hillary â€œholedâ€ different positions from her husband.

Ouch! A little Freudian slip there! Anyway, that should have been “held”. And it should have been “Hillary”.

Sleepy now………..

Comment by Manslagt: â€œFaiz is also ignoring the fact that Hillary Clinton supports sanctions on Iran today while her husband vetoed sanctions on Iran when he was president.â€

So your point is that, in the intervening eight years, nothing has changed in the dynamic between the two nations?

Ample demonstration of Stephen Colbert’s dead-on characterization of Bush’s (and conservatism’s) mindset: “He believes the same thing on Thursday that he believed on Tuesday, regardless of what happened on Wednesday.”

Iâ€™m certain that the irony in that statement is lost on you.

Who cares what you think. Again, why are you here? There are places set aside especially for folks like you – please go there.

Veritas: â€œwhat exactly does your comment mean? Most of us here have served our country in the military as well. Soâ€¦..what??â€

Comment by Manslagt: “Now you know thatâ€™s not true.”

No, probably not since the draft ended around thirty years ago… but I did and I remember the oath I took and it wasn’t to defend the country’s “system”. It was to defend the country against “all enemies foreign and domestic”. Right now I reckon that the Bush Maladministration is just about the biggest domestic enemy this country has ever had to contend with.

They might use an eraser, but they’re not planning to do that either and they’ve never threatened to.

Comment by Veritas: “Why the hell is this impotent lameduck veep even in the news at this point? Heâ€™s totally irrelevant to the US landscape and this country is eclipsing him and his ilk by leaps and bounds.”

Well, he and Charlie McCarthy are still running the country. Doesn’t strike me as all that irrelevant. Ignore these monsters at your peril!
