What does Iraq have to do with terrorism?
Usually a question coming from one who is not capable of learning from history, nor that understands that Freedom is Not Free, would usually ask.
Oh, sorry, I'm quite unlike you.In case you happen to be one of those, I'll tell you.
Saddam Hussein was in NO way associated with Al Qaeda. Even Pres. Bush has said there is NO link. Saddam did fund Hezbollah suicide bombers only in that they were able to attack Israel on a consistent basis and Saddam's hatred of Israel is 2nd to none...well...except maybe the U.S.First, remember that Saddam Hussein financially funded and encouraged radical Islamic suicide bombing. He has allied and aligned himself with those groups such as Al Qaeda, so we know he was involved in such activity.
You're again borrowing from the Book of Bush: Obfuscate!Second, the pre-war intelligence. The intelligence that Saddam had WMDs.. the intelligence that Clinton and Kerry both believed and Kerry even voted to initiate a WAR from! How irresponsible of him. Tisk-tisk.
Clinton, when he was in office, was using intelligence known to him at the time. By the time 2002 rolled around, the Bush administration was relying upon unvetted CIA intelligence and other sources deemed unreliable by the CIA. This administration knew that but still continued on as if nothing was wrong. The information upon which Kerry based his vote authorizing the use of force was provided by the Bush administration. Kerry was no longer on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
What war were we in that crushed communism? The one we lost in Vietnam? The non-war that felled the Berlin Wall?Come my liberal friends, lets [sic] hold the fire to his feet.. because WAR has NEVER SOLVED ANYTHING!
Well, at least.. the wars this country has waged that have crushed socialism and communism across the globe..
Now you're just completely going off the deep end of the Rhetoric Pool.No WONDER they hate America! We put down oppressive governments and dictatorships.
That would explain their love for Fidel Castro as well!
How does this relate to terrorism? And, btw, women had some rights in Iraq, more than in other Arab states.Oh, and forget women's rights in Iraq and the middle-east.. thats [sic] only for rich, white AMERICAN women!
Way to hold people down liberals! No racism there!
Now, all of a sudden, anyone who doesn't agree with you is a "leftist"? Do you even know what a "leftist" is?? I seriously doubt it. And to claim that Democratic policies are only reactions to conservative initiatives is completely laughable. That claim is seriously making me doubt your education and even your sanity.See, the thing is that leftists dont REALLY have any conviction, dont [sic] REALLY have any principles of "peace/love/tolerance". They dont [sic] believe in anything, not womens [sic] rights, not a strong black America.. nothing.
All their policies (more like reaction to conservative initiatives), are really just divisive and pits one American against another.. "fear politics" to scare votes of blacks/whites/asians/hispanics/the elderly to maintain power.
There is no real conviction underneath it all, or they'd be for heading to the middle east.. and freeing these poor people from the shackles of oppression. I forgot, they dont do such a thing unless a Democrat is in office. Their "conviction" and beliefs stop right there.
What are you talking about here? You certainly cannot mean the current administration. This administration has done more to suppress actual debate in the policy-making process than any other administration that I can think of!! Why do you think Paul O'Neill was fired?Back on topic, its [sic] the average conservatives [sic] more intellectual nature to think things through.. to understand concepts that liberals would rather not think about because it goes against their politics to admit the truth in many matters in which they are wrong in.
You are mislabeling those that fought for this war. They are the NEOCONS, they are not true conservatives. They are not for fiscal responsibility nor against nation-building. The PNAC forced its vision upon the world, through Bush, after the 9/11 attacks. You can thank Perle, Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld for that.For instance, the conservatives in this nation have came to the clear conclusion that the only long-term solution to the problem with Islamic radicalism.. is to stop the culture and situation that breeds it.
To institute a free democracy in Iraq, or any middle-eastern nation for that matter (it does not matter), is very capable of starting a domino effect across the middle east.
Nope, again, you are COMPLETELY wrong. There are many non-Republicans who favored action in Iraq but doing so in the PROPER way! Remember how George H. W. Bush and James Baker culled a true worldwide coalition of over 100 nations? Compare that to the bribery involved with George W. Bush to procure a weak coalition which involved troops from an additional half-dozen nations. Wow...some real widespread support there, Skippy!!Something France and Germany would likely very much oppose, as they were in favorable condition with the previous murderous dictators.
Also, the liberals/democrats/leftists in America OF COURSE oppose the war, not [sic] matter WHAT the reason, no matter WHAT anyone does (no matter how correct the actions and intentions might be).. becuase [sic] its [sic] spreading freedom, liberty and democracy across the world.
Kerry is a statesman compared to Bush. Again, I seriously question your education and your sanity.They FEAR these things because Democracy is ran [sic] by a forum of ideas.
An arena they have proven to NOT be capable of competing in. [/b]
Michael Eisner? Rupert Murdoch? Names ring a bell? Rather conservative individuals who happen to run some rather large media conglomerates.The [sic] only dominate in the arena of mass-TV media and HOLLYWOOD. Where in both areas they can slide in subversive dogma that is unseen to the untrained and uneducated eye.
You should try listening to NPR or watching C-SPAN. Limbaugh, Hannity, Medved, Beck, Prager, etc. are just inflammatory, at best. Why do you think they interrupt their callers, engage in inflammatory rhetoric, screen their callers to get weak opponents and strong supporters? It's all in the name of RATINGS. Those AM talk radio heads don't give one sh*t about the truth. They're just in it for ratings and money.When it comes to a real debate, when it comes to the facts.. they are no where to be found in society.
Hence Limbaugh, Hannity and the plethora of other talk radio hosts just like them dominate the airwaves.
Like Richard Clarke, Joseph Wilson, Paul O'Neill (Suskind)Just as conservatives regularly dominate the NYT best sellers list.
Ok...more ranting and raving. I though we were talking about terrorism?As I illustrated above, they run off of platforms of divide and conquer.
Things such as liberal white guilt is used against the liberal fools. Reparations for slavery are used against blacks. Threats that some evil Republican is going to take away their social security is used against our elderly. And so on.
While Republicans wager that people should use the very freedoms they are allowed and encourage personal responsibility.. rather than government reliance and playing the blame game for eternity.
Its [sic] the conservatives, the people who go to work everyday, the people who have and are defended this nation that make it great.
Not the liberal who sits in his chair and watches as we bring democracy to the middle east (concurrently defeating Islamic radicalism at the same time).. the liberal who sits as we go to work everyday so he may recieve a free ride. The liberal who sits and watches as the conservatives enjoy and excel in this capitalist society.
The conservatives, the ones who promote family values.
Conservatives in America promote everything that is good and right about America as the liberals represent everything that is wrong.
How so? Iraq is not known as a center of militant Islamic radicals. One must look to Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Indonesia for them.So what does Iraq have to do with terrorism? It has EVERYTHING to do with terrorism. Its [sic] the PERFECT starting point in a quest to stop Islamic radicalism once and for all.
By engaging in worldwide efforts to combat terrorism, not INCREASE terrorism by invading sovereign nations without worldwide support.The only long term solution. [sic] Funny, that John F'n Kerry has no other answers.. other than if elected to actually pretty much follow through with the plan.
Oh, like Ken Starr did against Clinton? It's ok for YOUR side to conduct witch-hunts...oops! I mean, "investigations".Republicans Lead. The rest, follow. Its [sic] the reason why we control this country. It really is that simple.
I would and very well could be a Democrat, IF they'd LEAD and DO something.
In my short time on earth, all I've seen them capable of doing is complaining and carrying out witch-hunts...oops! I mean, "investigations".
Because we are a staunch supporter of Israel and invading Iraq made us an easy target.Since this has turned into a nice rant, I'd like to note a piece of logic that seems to escape every liberals [sic] minds. [sic]
If Iraq has nothing to do with terrorists, then why are they so mad that we are there?
Doesnt [sic] seem to make sense. But then again, as I've illustrated the faulty politics of Left America they dont make much sense at all.
Bush is the puppet. Bush is a virgin when it comes to foreign relations. That's why the PNAC neocons have been able to enact their vision so well with the direction of Cheney's arm up Bush's ass.Besides, who would OSAMA rather have President of the USA.. the puppet John Kerry who bows and crawls on his knees to special interest groups and their money.
Yeah, he sure kicked ass alright. :roll:Or the President, who has given in to NO ONE. Has kicked ass all over the middle east and has successfully accomplished the mission of implementing a democracy in Iraq.
Afghanistan is just a model democracy now.
No warlords ruling large portions of the country there. Nope.
President Karzai isn't pleading for billions in aid. Nope.
The Taliban and Al Qaeda aren't still killing coalition troops there. Nope.
And U.S. support is SO strong in Iraq. Ayup. Why, I'll be willing to bet they're fully democratic in 18 months because Bush KICKED ASS!!
:roll:
I'll agree with that last portion of your statement. It's time for Kerry to become President and bring back thought, debate, diplomacy, accountability, and fiscal responsibility to the White House!As John Kerrys [sic] friend Howard Dean said that SADDAM HUSSEIN was INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.. maybe OSAMA deserves such a right as well! Hey we dont [sic] REALLY know he did it.
The limp wristed [sic] liberals have no place in America at this point in history. Its [sic] time for the real leaders to take over.
It wasn't Clinton's recession and it hasn't been "fixed". And, how does cutting FBI funding, as per Ashcroft, constitute fixing the "horrid national security state"?We fixed Clintons [sic] recession. We fixed the USA's horrid national security state that Clinton left us. We've fixed Clintons [sic] decrepit and decayed military. We've been trying to keep the sanctity of marriage for a man and woman.
More bullsh*t rhetoric.President Bush even tried to pass a permanent ban on broadband internet.. something that Democrats incessently [sic] want to get their greedy hands into taxing to spend inefficiently.
Proof is in the pudding, we RUN this place. And we're going to smash Flip-Flop Kerry this year. When hes [sic] in a statistical tie with Bush in CALIFORNIA at this point in the game.. its [sic] already over and going to be the biggest landslide since Mondale/Reagan.
The demos are just going to have to reform and become a party worth voting for again.. sadly, which hasnt happened since before they embraced the radical politics of the 60's "revolution".
You know, that hippy revolution of rich, dumb white kids who knew nothing about life and sent the colored man off to fight their war (again, no racism there). As they smoked pot and spit on them as they came back from defending their freedom to remain clueless.
Remember it was a Democrat who sent everyone off to Vietnam and a Republican who got us out.
Peace, love, understanding my liberal friends!
I'll leave you with a few quotes.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill
And Einstein has a few words for all you liberal "Einsteins" out there!
?The world is too dangerous to live in - not because of the people who do evil, but because of the people who sit and let it happen.? - Albert Einstein
LMAO at that last bit there...wow!! The brainwashing has worked perfectly on you!
They should add his name to the description of this forum, Passions and Edge3D are always high.
I think he is just messing with us, nobody can be this dense. I don't think i will ever take the time you guys do to tear up his posts, he'll just reply with ten year old intelligence like he did to zephyr.
