lol I doubt that is why mt typing went to ****, however it was a humbling experience, I'll try to keep that in mind should you miss up again. lol

I'll be more careful not to "miss" up "mt" typing.


Mind you the cut and run applies only to "interventions " where the US does not wish to stay indefinately for its own selfish interests. Iraq , Afghanistan and probably Libya as well......are places of "interest" for the US so they will hunker down via military bases , massive embassies which will remind the "natives" of their presence on a daily basis. (and bring back memories of the horrors they witnessed during the active killing. (and raping and other atrocities. )

.


One need only google "Canadian Somalia Affair" to see your hypocricy.

This is the best news I've heard in years. Now lets get them out of Afghanistan too and give Karzai to the Taliban. They want to behead him. For New Years I'd like to see the World Court indict Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Ashcroft for crimes against humanity. Then for Memorial Day I'd like to see Maxine Waters, Barney Frank and Norm Schumer indicted for tax fraud, real estate fraud and swindling the mortgagee's who were screwed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which is within their corrupt perview.

John Bolton Admits All Of These Wars Are For Oil - YouTube

What happen to the weapon of mass destruction?
Oh that was just a lie. right......


OF COURSE the USA acted in its own self-interest, and the interest of all western nations.

OIL is the life's blood of modern western civilization. It must keep running.

As you are so opposed to oil, I suggest you boycott and divest yourself of oil and oil products........no plastics, no bus rides, no car, no oil-generated electricity, no food transported with fuel, no visiting places of business heated or lit with fossil fuels........you know, no consumption of energy that is not clean and ethical........I guess that even cuts out gas and oilsands oil huh???

You live in Ottawa? Might I suggest, as further evidence of your moral superiority, that you will your soon-to-be starved and frozen dead body to science for study.....for the good of mankind.

You guys REALLY don't think this stuff through, do you?

There was a time when I was a small boy, and one General Douglas MaCarthur
said the boys in Korea will be home by Christmas, and we all know how that
turned out. The Middle East is so fluid if I were a politician I would not even try
to predict the future. The whole region is now a powder keg. If the fundamentalists
take control of Egypt and Libya we could be pining for the days of the two bloody
despots who once ran the system. This is a long way from over and two months
to Christmas could see a lot of bitter fighting with a number of enemy groups.

I hear one of their first moves is to start selling their oil in Euros or some other currency, I would suggest gold but look at what happened to Libya went that was in the works.

You guys REALLY don't think this stuff through, do you?
As an oil exporter we would be cutting our own throats by supporting the US in a conquest that gets them more free (Iraq and now Libya) iol How did that point escape your eagle eye or do you just have a parrot beak?

What a shame, they lose the only things that actually got constructed in all those years. lol
Iraq rejects US request to maintain bases after troop withdrawal | World news | guardian.co.uk

The US suffered a major diplomatic and military rebuff on Friday when Iraq finally rejected its pleas to maintain bases in the country beyond this year.
Barack Obama announced at a White House press conference that all American troops will leave Iraq by the end of December, a decision forced by the final collapse of lengthy talks between the US and the Iraqi government on the issue.
The Iraqi decision is a boost to Iran, which has close ties with many members of the Iraqi government and which had been battling against the establishment of permanent American bases.

2 Iraqi Christians aren't dead or now living in Toronto. They might be able to pull off a Christmas with another $3-4 Trillion in funding.

Are there even any Christians left there? Don't the troops get plastic turkeys on Thanksgiving.





I'm no fan of Bush but the turkey was real.

Also, though he was a priviliged slacker and a rich kid, he didn't go 'AWOL'...just did the bare minimum to technically get by.


But still, more service and drill than our little buddy in da house right now. :lol:
