SECOND hell...we are in our THIRD your forgetting Libya.Who's idea was it to start a SECOND war before trying to at least finish the first? Not mine.
I never said Saddam was a threat, nor did I fall for the hype of him having some super secret plot, either. So NOT everyone thought that, but thanks for lumping me in with the rest. And for use "being a buffer" they wouldn't need a buffer had we not gone into Iraq to begin with.SECOND hell...we are in our THIRD your forgetting Libya.
I see you have a hard on for Bush and I’m not going to bring up the dead horse about WMD’s and the such EVERYONE suspected that Saddam had them along with how many UN resolutions had he violated since gulf war #1.
The issue is we are a buffer being in Iraq from Iran invading the whole Middle East and Israel that’s pretty simple the question is why in the hell are we in Afghanistan?
You seem to be handling it pretty well.It must be refreshing to be clueless and naive all the time.
I choose to see things for the way they are not as I wish them to be.You seem to be handling it pretty well.

I heard they forgot to post this interview. Why didn't HK post this in the other thread, I thought he was following the issue?I KNEW you were a racist.
My perspective changes with new information while you just drink up whatever Fox is serving.

capitalism & conservatism are absolutely evil, according to the leftLeftist see things in shades of gray rather than simple-mindedly black and white.
another slight correctionThings are either right or wrong period.
This concept is so difficult for leftists because they have no consistent & ethics-based core beliefs, values or common sense, but rather possess an anthropomorphic & situationally convenient world view
Clearly, he was coming right at them.I was looking for a place to post this and the "it's always Florida" thread seemed like a good spot.

As per usual, gold in the comments.Typical Florida political story of the day: an answering machine captured a call (embedded below) from a volunteer with the Republican Party of Clay County, FL, who was reaching out to potential voters with several important lies about the upcoming presidential election.
GREATEST HITS OF ANONYMOUS CLAY COUNTY REPUBLICAN VOLUNTEER'S PHONE CALL TO SENIOR VOTERS
"Yall sound like yall are senior citizens, right? Yeah. You don't want Obama. You really don' want Obama. Because he'll get rid of your Medicare. You might as well say goodbye to it."
"I don't know if you've done any research on Obama or not, but he is a Muslim... if he had his way, we'd be a socialistic country."
"Pay attention to Fox News."

Sweet, a chance to spread some -rep around to someone who only has one red square (and hasn't logged on in months)...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Calm done son. HK hasn't logged in since late 2011, and IIRC is banned from PaWN.
I must admit I took the opportunity when I saw his avatar again.Sweet, a chance to spread some -rep around to someone who only has one red square (and hasn't logged on in months)...
This both made my evening and ruined my next 90 minutes.
I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. So the NEW reason we invaded Iraq is to be a "buffer" against Iran? Is that the latest Fox News analysis 12 years later? Is that how you rationalize it? The same way you rationalize Iraq, other people rationalize Afghanistan. Heck, in another post you said:The issue is we are a buffer being in Iraq from Iran invading the whole Middle East and Israel that’s pretty simple the question is why in the hell are we in Afghanistan?
Seems you were riding along that Bush parade and all for invadin them mooslim countries. Only after we get OBL you question why we are there? That means you were ok with and rationalized it prior, which doesn't agree with your above quote.Nicely played chickenhawk dig however I too have been wondering since “mission accomplished” and seal team six double tap on Osama why in the hell exactly are we over there still getting our troops killed for a bunch of 7th century throwbacks on a pile of dirt.
We do have a revenue problem. We have a regressive tax system. It might be progressive on paper, but due to shifting money, tax sheltering, write-offs, capital gains, offshore accounts, and a myriad of other techniques, those with the most money are allowed to pay a smaller percentage of their income as taxes. Warren Buffet proved it. Mitt Romney proved it. It's only progressive on paper. In reality, it's regressive. Oh how I'd like to not have to pay the % that I am supposed to pay, but I can't because I'm poor compared to them. Allowing the rich to do this is one thing that keeps the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. And before you go saying that having people making more than $250K wouldn't actually make a dent in the pot, it's the same with savings via spending cuts. It's the big picture and we have to really want to solve it. Cutting defense, cutting other spending, a fair tax system that can't be as easily manipulated, etc, it all adds up.Like I said earlier we don’t have a REVENUE problem in this country we have a SPENDING problem nowhere did I say eliminate that or that program although there are many that need to disappear or be de-funded. Do you REALLY believe that the problem with education in this county is a lack of funds? Or is it the funds are not used wisely? Name one government entity that you believe actually needs 100% of its funding or it would collapse.
Citizens and Private business have to live on a budget or else…yet we have folks here in this county that think nothing about extending the credit limit of the federal government and think that the “rich” need to cover the note by paying more in taxes.
brothers?
