I think what sonar732 posted should be a billboard to make people think ...

Those crazy people don't like American's, they don't like jokes about their God, they don't like our cheerleaders wearing hardly anything at football games, they don't like our investment industry, they don't like our surperior arms industry, they don't like our level of freedoms, they don't like me posting anything negative about their trying to take over the world, they don't like us period ...
no smiley here

I concur. :up:

:damn: god im good sometimes. its about the one possible reason behind his list i hadnt thought of.:damn:

I was trying to make a few points out of my post.

1st was to associate how he mentioned the sarin gas episode in Tokyo by a religous cult in 1995 with President G.W. Bush....not W.J. Clinton. You'd think the young people of today who are more computer savy would google stuff before posting???:roll:

2nd is "stringing up problems with iran and north korea"...funny, I thought we've always had issues with Iran since '79 and North Korea since...um...'53? Don't forget with North Korea...Clinton administration brokered a deal with them to stop their nuke program and they laughed at us. We are back at the table again.:roll::roll:

3rd is right on the mark with what y'all posted. It's not like terrorism has just begun...shoot...even his own country was a haven for their own type of terrorism during their civil war...I can remember seeing film of snipers killing journalist or...dare we say it...motars lobbed into an open food market at the busiest time.

EDIT: To go further on the Yugoslavia situation, it makes me sick that NATO decided to interviene when Milosovic threatened U.N. madated safe havens, but yet is sitting on their a**es when it comes to regions now like Darfur.

Sonar,
My point was the same as yours in my post above yours. I'm afraid that I am just a bit too lazy to point out the obvious sometimes, or draw up timelines. I used to enjoy doing such things, but as I get older, it isn't as much fun..... :roll:

I like the President, that is possibly because I am old enough to remember the last one, and motivated enough to read about the jack@## that was President in '79 and know how he handled the situation. Bush might make mistakes, but at least he is attempting to say, if you bomb us, we will bomb you back, and he isn't embarrassed by being an American, which is more than I can say for Carter or Clinton.

Then again, I am a jingoistic hillbilly w/o the surperior reasoning ability of my old big-city buddies that I met in law school.

Your alright Dean, I don't care what Jimmy said about you ... lol

You don't still hold it against him for those helicopters crashing into each other out in the middle of no where
(therefore aborting their mission) do you?

I might be wrong about this, but as I understand it, it was Harding's brother-inlaw who was corrupt, abusing his possition. Harding was just not best suited to the job, I hesitate to use the word incompetant as I'm not sure he was or not.

I'll admit that I'm not happy with the current administration right now either. However, the country is at the point that no matter who gets elected, there will be a change of direction regarding our foreign policy.

It has taken almost 2 terms of the Bush White House to convince the North Koreans to come to the table...after they either attempted or did, detonate a bomb. The attempt to negotiate with Iran keeps failing as our Russian counterparts keep giving them money and consultants on their nuke program...sadly enough, I see the next administration having no choice but to take military action on this one as evident by the newest complaint of the west needs to abandon our own nuke programs.

Not only money for their nuke program, but for their "missile self defense program" also ... which raises some concerns for what is going to be put on top of said missile. :cry:

Isnt the self defence missile program merely an anti-air missile?

I was under the impression it was:doh:

He ought to. The way Carter set up the mission, bypassing regular command channels and cobbling the force together without giving them a chance to train/prepare, failure was almost guarenteed.

No terrorist attacks in US after 9/11. :hmm:

Why the terrorists should travel all the way to the USA, when they can kidnap, torture and behead americans on their own soil?

Bush is a poohead. :yep:

What's the score on American's vs their own countrymen being beheaded ...

one in a thousand ... no smiley

Why aren't them attacking American embassies in foreign territory?

Interesting that when dealing with Bush and terrorists, only Bush is insulted, nobody remembers those fine humanists, the terrorists.

Doesnt it go without saying that terrorism is a repulsive tactic?
