ALL BUSH SUPPORTERS READ THIS

I blagged this from a War On Terror Ivillage board:

'In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George Bush Sr. wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein at the end of the Gulf War.

"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human

and political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We

would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq....

There was no viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of

our principles. Furthermore, we had been consciously trying to set a

pattern for handling aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in

and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the United Nations'

mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response

to aggression that we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion

route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power

in a bitterly hostile land."

If only his son could read.'

"That is the most nasty insulting thing I have yet heard on this board and I would like to know who to report her to??????????????????!!!!"

Renee herself has told you many times. At the right of each message is a link that says "Report a Violation." Simply click that link and you will have the opportunity to choose a reason for reporting the message and explaining why you feel it is inappropriate. If the CM agrees with you that it is a violation of TOS, he/she will take appropriate action.

No, I'm saying that anti-war left wingers around here and elsewhere didn't give an iota of consideration to

70% of the protesters in NY last weekend were against the war in Afghanistan.

"Also if you recall, there is no Al Qaeda in Iraq."

NOT TRUE!!!! There are Al Qaeda training camps in Iraq, for God's sake! If you're going to take sides on an issue it's best to become informed about them first.

No, I am telling you that repeated reports of violations that are deemed to be true violations are going to get the violator kicked off.

I see nothing wrong with his mission statement. Most here do the same thing and don't admit to it. As I have said ad nauseum, we are all adults here. OR are we?

If you had bothered to read the comments Miffy & I made about reporting TOS violations you would know that I have no way of knowing that.


You are such a sweety. How did you ever get to host this board? Never mind, I would prefer to keep our converations to the barest of minimums.

Who is 'we?'


We are the intelligent ones here who know there was no terrorist link in Iraq to the people who attacked our country. This is getting ridiculous. Keep those blinders on, they will protect you from the truth for a while.

So the ball is in your court to prove what you say.

The key is who is determining if it is "true" or not and by what subjective criteria is this being done. Never mind, will get no straight answer from you.
