I hate the Republican Plan.

I keep hearing this phrase, that we will not quit till we win. First of all Iraq is the one that has to win. If the people of Iraq are unwilling to fight for their freedom, then there is only so much that the USA can do to help them. I think sending American GI's out as targets to patrol areas is not a very good plan for the USA to keep doing. I think we should set up a few bases in the desert and we should support the Iraqi people when they have problems. However, Iraq must take care of itself. Many Muslims resent any western help becuase they consider it an intrusion. I think this is why Reagan pulled out of the Middle East. He realized that we could not change their hearts and it would mean a lot of bloodshed for Americans.

The big problem is that now the terrorists are coming to America and trying to destroy us on our own soil. The terrorists will keep attacking us if we do nothing. If there is anything I know for sure, it is that we do not make a very good punching bag. Most animals if they are cornered will fight for their lives and that is what we have to find a way to do. President Bush has the wrong plan for this fight.

I would be in favor of rounding up all Muslim Immigrants and sending them back where they came from. We are inviting disaster to let muslim immigrants come to America. Sooner or later they will be encouraged to fight and destroy the USA.

I think Iran is our biggest problem. We may have to wipe Iran out.

Your first two paragraphs seem to be logical.

The last paragraphs demonstrates illogical thinking and racism.
You are condemming a group of people 10K miles away for the actions of a few.
Muslim immigrants were accepted into this country legally. Why not remove every person that is not a naturlized citizen then, no need to stop at a religious group.

The Democrats will need Iraq, if they get a president in office, so that they can use it to "wag the tail" like Clinton did, to distract people from an impeachment hearing.

How on earth does this make sense? Is this a joke? Or maybe you can pass me some of that herb you're obviously inhaling. Puff puff pass man.

I don't find anything humorous about it, but if you would stop smoking your "herb", you might understand, because it should be obvious to anyone that was around during the Clinton administration.

The term is "wag the dog", Einstein, and you seem to have no comprehension of what it means.

P.S. It was just a movie, Sherlock.

But if you insist on using the term, and bother to investigate it further, you would realize that it is what the Republicans accused Clinton of doing during the "Monica" investigations. Clinton was trying to go after Osama Bin Ladin, ---Bull......you know better than that!!

but the Republicans just laughed, accusing him of trying to divert attention off of his having had manly sex with an actual adult woman, who happened to not be his wife, instead of an underage male page...the horror.
:roll:

Oh really?




"The Clinton administration poured more than a billion dollars into counterterrorism activities across the entire spectrum of the intelligence community, into the protection of critical infrastructure, into massive federal stockpiling of antidotes and vaccines to prepare for a possible bioterror attack, into a reorganization of the intelligence community itself. Within the National Security Council, "threat meetings" were held three times a week to assess looming conspiracies. His National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, prepared a voluminous dossier on al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, actively tracking them across the planet. Clinton raised the issue of terrorism in virtually every important speech he gave in the last three years of his tenure.

Clinton's dire public warnings about the threat posed by terrorism, and the actions taken to thwart it, went completely unreported by the media, which was far more concerned with stained dresses and baseless Drudge Report rumors. When the administration did act militarily against bin Laden and his terrorist network, the actions were dismissed by partisans within the media and Congress as scandalous "wag the dog" tactics. The news networks actually broadcast clips of the movie "Wag the Dog" while reporting on his warnings, to accentuate the idea that everything the administration said was contrived fakery.

In Congress, Clinton was thwarted by the reactionary conservative majority in virtually every attempt he made to pass legislation that would attack al-Qaeda and terrorism. His 1996 omnibus terror bill, which included many of the anti-terror measures we now take for granted after September 11, was withered almost to the point of uselessness by attacks from the right; Senators Jesse Helms and Trent Lott were openly dismissive of the threats Clinton spoke of."

Don't strain his brain too much. JediYoda does little more than spout off talking points.
