Dr Friedman said US President George W Bush faced the difficulty of explaining this policy, particularly to the Saudis. Moves to link Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda failed completely.


But Joo still buys it. Hmmmm. Anyways...

"Nobody could object to WMD and it was the one thing that every intelligence agency knew was true.

"We knew we were going to find them. And we would never have to reveal the real reasons.


"WE WOULD NEVER HAVE TO REVEAL THE REAL REASONS."

Meaning, "We lied. And shucks, we done got found out, hyuck hyuck." (Digging toe in the dirt, hands behind back, head down to hide the smirk...)

Goshagollygee, now I feel all warm inside.

That is right for me - the most important thing is for the US to win.

I would want the US president to do what they feel is what is in the best interests of US national security. Even if it means that they have to not be clear about their reasons for doing something.

The problem with that standpoint, you jello-head, is that all of America's recent moves toward strengthening its national security have simultaneously made the security of the world as a whole much shakier. It's this blind selfishness and stupidity that completely baffles and infuriates the majority of non-Americans. Pull your head out of your collective ass.

In the 90's 70,000 trained in Al Qadia camps in Afghanistan , this was while the US was protecting muslim kurds from Slobidan and muslims in Kosovo from Saddam this was also while the US was trying to bring the Israelis and the Palestinian side together.

What was the problem then?

The real problem is the Bathism , Khomenism , Nasserism, Bin Ladenism and all the similar related stuff are sick fascist ideologies that teach hate and create terror cause it is their nature.

Take your own advice and get your head out of your ass.

That's eerily similar to what the jihadists say. You do realize that, right?

That's a crock of shite, and you know it. That argument could be used to explain the actions of just about anyone doing just about anything! Rolling Eyes

It was Georgy Boy who said, "You're with us or you're against us". That kind of arrogance can turn some people away, Joo....

Now, what could he be talking about here?

Not knowing the unknowables?

Or maybe warning Scooter to keep his big trap shut, or else?

which meant if a nation wants normal trade and diplomatic relations with the US then they have to help out on the war on terror.

US can trade and have diplomatic relations w/ anyone it wants to.
