Not to mention other idiotic moves in the past, Somalia 1993 go after a war lord who controls 3/4 of the entire populace of a city who do they send in ? a handful of troops to fight a few million people.

And whats worse than that?

The didnt even inform The other UN parties in somalia of the move so when they needed help the other could do very little.

That is as dumb as it gets.

P.S i know some other dumb things the americans do like spending over a $1 billion on a pen that can write in space, what do the russians say ?

Use a pencil!

Yeah, that Soviet space program was a model of fiscal efficiency.

There's so much balogna in your claims that it's preposterous. Again, let's learn by example (there are dozens here):

See also Eye on CBS for those of you that forgot this little escape (among others by See BS).

Snap out of it. Get real. Face the little facts that get in your way. Come to grips with reality. This isn't the fantasy trip against the US you thought it was. It's a sham.

If these cheap Magic Pens can do magic, imagine what a 1 billion pen can do!

And your source for this ad hominem attack turns out to be a blog called Transterrestrial Musings? Whose primary sources include such authoritive sites as PowerLine (a right-wing blog) and the completely unrelated CBS incident? Okay. I'll face facts whenever you're ready to provide them (ones that actually address something I've written and are based on more mainstream sources than Transterrestrial Musings and right-wing blogs like PowerLine).

Both blogs quote and link to their sources.

Try again.

I'll try. Scandium has a point: The overwhelming majority of the sources cited in your articles are from pro-western or pro-Israeli blogs, and/or editoral cartoonists' websites. These represent the opinions of individuals citing second or third-party sources. They are hardly reliable.

You tend to do this a lot. Of course, Type941 is citing a source that no one can read or locate, so it evens out here.

And I don't get the aversion for a comparison with Lenin. Commie, sure, but remember that this wasn't modern day and Communism wasn't as yet discredited any more than Bush's search to spread democracy today. I can't say I have much faith that a Leninist state would be all that great in retrospect, but hey, we don't know where America is going either!

Lenin was a smart guy; as I said, it's probably doing Lenin a disservice to be compared to Bush rather than the reverse
