Ripsnort>> Right. Just let Saddam harbor more terrorists while continuing to flip the rest of the world the finger.
Do you know how many terrorists the US harbours in Miami? Or is it because the US administration views them as 'Freedom fighters' that it doesnt count? Or the terrorists in NI who were largely funded by people in the USA? (it took a campaign by a Scottish newspaper involving Blair, Clinton and the New York mayor at the time (about 7-8 years ago) to clamp down on it. Tin cans being rattled on 5th Avenue by Irish-Americans, on St Patrtick's day, with anti-British slogans and badges).
Ripsnort>> That way we have no base of operation in the middle east
Ahhh, so thats what this is all about?? No, not really. There is the small matter of the oil in Iraq, and the pipeline through Afghanistan..
Ripsnort>> and we'll be totally blind-sided when that next attack on US soil comes.
So you think that because of your new restrictions on people's freedoms, there are no terrorists cells operating, active and planning in the US right now?
Do you think your escapades in Iraq have removed the threat of attacks on your home soil?
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not THAT stupid...
Ripsnort>> Meanwhile, continue to build those palaces with the money that is suppose to go for food and aid to the people...Good plan!
The suffering of the Iraqi people had absolutely **** all to do with Saddam's extravagancies. Otherwise, the US Commander in Iraq wouldnt have asked for an immediate lifting of the sanctions so he could get aid in to the country. The place was absolutely destitute.
And dont give me any bull**** about palaces paved with gold and banks full of money. The US has both in abundance, as well as hundreds of thousands (millions?) of homeless people, and even more without healthcare.
