Did it maybe have anything to do with the fact that Bill Clinton spent time as a student in the Soviet Union during the Vietnam war?  

Nah that couldn't be it, could it?  :rolleyes:

And yea go ahead and bash the reservists some more...


yes Powell - thank you.

The point is not so much the service as the hypocrisy of those who refused to serve yet SEEK war for others to fight.  over oil no less.

And Powell was the one guy who thought better of going into Iraq.

Anyhoo...

Sounds like Mark Knopfler on guitar in that ad. A knockoff? Or does anyone recognize the song?

NO WAR FOR OIL!!!!!  We are rampantly stealing Iraq oil, gas prices have never been lower we are staling so much.....

You do know many lefties even considered the 911 war a war for oil, so evil boogeyman halliburton could build a pipeline through Afghanistan...

Were, then,  the calls for war after 911 also the cries of CHICKENHWAKS?

The Taliban had to go.  personally I believe in war for defense only.  America shouldnt be starting wars for any other reason that defending ourselves.  The price is far too high.  Bush*co made Iraq seem as if we needed to because Saddam had WMD.  Well things were not as the president led us to believe, turns out the evidence was weak all along.  Inexcusable.

you hit on a good point there - where the hell is the Iraqi oil going?  They were producing before the war and we still need to give Iraq 20 billion for their infrastructure?  Before the war Cheney and Rummy said that Iraqi oil would pay to rebuild the country.  I have a suspicion that when it is all said and done we will learn that someone has been stealing a lot of Iraqi oil.  

I have never heard of the pipeline through Afghanistan at the lefty meetings.

Ordinarily when I meet someone with the service record of John Kerry (and Ive met more than a few), I drop to my knees and grovel in his shadow.  Its what Kerry did when he came back, and Im not bitter about it, its just that so much harm was done to his military service by his anti war stance that it totally negates and in fact subtracts from his heroics on the battle field.  And yes!  Bush is a goofy tard in my opinion, but he is running for re-election on 4 relatively successfull years experience as President, not for his supposed absence in Alabama whereas Kerry is running on his extreme liberal senate record and his military service, or disservice during and right after VNam.

Do not get me wrong, JKerry has every right to throw his medals, or someone elses, away as a protest.  God be with him -but if he thinks he can run for president and gain some statute as a hero by throwing his medals away then he is sadly mistaken, in my view.

I watched the video and was impressed with their impartiality... All they did was present the facts as they are. Why the whining?

Welcome to the wonderful world of politics, if the roles were reversed it would be the same. Show the film of Dukakis in the tank again, that's always a hoot.

You mean the ones about some mysterious building number 7 and some timing issues etc.? I saw that.... Way too much math involved. If I'm going to buy a conspiracy theory then the authors better keep it damn simple and throw up a couple of pics of green aliens while they're at it. Or at least some shape moving across the left wing or whatever.

The reason I asked "huh?" is... What does what you just said have to do with anything?

He was saying that he supported 911 war because it was self defense after the terror attacks...

I merely pointed out that there are people who would dispute even that...
