I'm actually pretty good at recognising styles, Jay. Yours is repeating lines learned elsewhere by people that you should know better than to associate with. Go ahead though, get drunk and mad and say something about my wife.
Mike, if it was a personal attack I would have made Jay cry like a little girl. It was an honest question based on long experience. I presented my evidence...Jay's posting history and the fact that the post in question does not match it. Unless you or he can present evidence to the contrary, then I would suggest that it's you who have no case.
Since it seems that we are expected to pretend that Jay is writing his own posts....
Sure it was politicking, but the ends did justify the means in this case. The death of communism through the vehicle of Afghanistan was a brilliant scheme implemented, apparently, without the USSR even suspecting what we were really up to. Also, it saved Europe from USSR’s influence or worse.
US involvement in Afghanistan wasn't at all brilliant, it led to needless suffering and we're still feeling the after-effects. The Soviet Union was failing anyway, and the lie that Reagan had anything whatsoever to do with its fall is a fallacy put forth by those who refuse to understand that all Droolin' Ronnie was capable of was committing war crimes and napping at his desk.
The rest of your post is just more mindless drivel garnered from right wing opinion columns and recycled through the bile of those who instruct you.
