The politics of perspective in Politics JoeUser Forums

Now that I want them, I can't find these posts, or even the article, which may have been deleted. Sorry... I was on here somewhere a while back, and left a comment about Iranian weapons, fresh out of the factory, having been captured in Iraq, provided by the Iranians to the insurgency. Someone doubted the veracity of my statement, and smugly asked me to provide a link. In the time between my log ons, drmiler kindly provided said link, which took the user to the ABC N

DAMN IT! You weren't supposed to SEE that article! DAMN! The really sad thing is, stuff like this just doesn't matter. You could lay out all the facts, every single one, in numeric, alphabetic and chronological order; you could draw lines and give them detailed notes and a Powerpoint presentation....and none of it would ever sink in. They don't care. Bush is a moronic, warmongering rat's ass who got us into a war we didn't need, and Iraq had no WMD or al-Qaeda con

The reason Democrats dislike and oppose Bush is that he has made serious erros in judgement, continues to do the same ---sodaiho No, he's not....he's finally agreed to up the amount of troops in the region by a significant number.

The Surge Purge in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

So, the President has announced that 21,000 more US troops are going to Iraq. It's about time. The Democrats, ever eager to counter any attempted progress of the hated Bush Administration, and in their unending quest seemingly to humiliate and further divide their country, have vowed to fight this "surge". The action was led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who co-authored and signed a letter to the President opposing the increase, then went and talked with him. T

More people are being killed now in Iraq than they were during the days of "evil" Hussein. ---Bahu This may be true. At least it's not completely innocent Iraqis, though. It's Muslim insurgents and terrorists who want a chance to die killing the Americans and Jews they hate beyond reason. Why? So they can get their 72 virgins. <b

That relationship soured at one point and the Kuwait invasion of August 1990 may well be the reason. Yeah, that's right; it was all our fault....the fact that he invaded and raped one tiny country and threatened to invade yet another, much more strategically important nation, had nothing at all to do with it. It was all on us.<b

US Embassy in Greece fired upon; called terrorism in Current Events JoeUser Forums

From the Associated Press....... By NICHOLAS PAPHITIS Associated Press Writer ATHENS, Greece (AP) - An anti-tank shell was fired at the U.S. Embassy early Friday, striking the front of the building but causing no injuries.

Police cordoned off streets around the heavily guarded building after

You know…..I used to like E.R.; it was always a quality show, well-written and with good acting and production values. It was never my favorite show by any stretch, but it was the kind of show I could watch with my wife, who loves it, and more or less enjoy. I used to watch it every week, but due to pressures of work and the intrusion of just general life, I slacked off over the years. I watched it, but infrequently. Thursday night, however, I said goodbye to E.R., and couldn’

Funny how only the Republican Party demands that former racist must publicly renounce any and all ties to racist orginazatons before they will get support from the party.

It was still forced onto society, no matter how you try to paint it. ---Lucas No, "forced" is taking an opinion on a social policy before the appointees of the Supreme (or Ninth Circuit, for that matter,) Court, and letting them decide whether or not it has merit and should or should not be implemented.

I have to wonder...would your reaction have been so emotional and sympathetic if it had been GWB getting the noose? Saddam was captured in Iraq, held in iraq and tried in Iraq by a court of Iraqi law and sentenced to death by an Iraqi court. For far less than he should have been. Over 400,000 deaths---of his own people---have been attributed to him. He's lucky hanging is all he got.

A soldier's opinion in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

A good friend of mine, an active duty soldier, came home for Christmas, bringing with him his wife and family. They’d driven cross-country, into the Weirton area from Washington State, where he is stationed at Fort Lewis. During an evening visit, he and I were discussing the war. He is soon to be deployed to Afghanistan, having already served in Iraq. He confided to me that, to his thinking, at least, for every one person who supports the troops and what they’re doing, there is, at least, on
