Saddam Hussein was a friend to the US until we decided he wasn't. There are photos of him shaking hands with and smiling at Donald Rumsfeld. OBL was trained by the US when Communist Russia existed; we taught him how to be an insurgent against a larger force ... and then our war-by-proxy with the USSR ended, more or less; what was OBL to do with his training then? We made both of these "monsters". That is a fact. I don't think killing OBL is very important to most of the US now. Polls seem to show his death as being far behind settling issues such as ENDING the invasion of Iraq and creating universal health coverage. > going into iran would be a huge mistake and the congress will not allow > it. Yes, and maybe, in that order. Certainly attacking Iran would be stupid. Would Congress approve? Possibly not. But ... Is it up to them any more? Remember we had a rubber-stamp clusterfuck of retards who passed any declaration made by their idiot poster boy Bush in ’02 thru ’06. I am not confident that universal, unilateral war power was denied him. > pakistan is a different story if the us were chasing al qaeda and went > no further. But that is not how it would be SEEN by the rest of the world. Surely you understand that and the implications. > if we pull out of iraq it will be holy war between shiite and sunni. It ALREADY IS a war between shi'ite and sunni. > one thing for sure, this war on terror is benefiting china... And Halliburton. And, therefore, Cheney. Treason is not the word to describe what Bush has done, what he is. The word doesn't exist yet. How do you, in one word, explain the idea of traitor, coward, bully, opportunist and deluded cowboy freak? -- Warren Ockrassa Blog | http://indigestible.nightwares.com/ Books | http://books.nightwares.com/ Web | http://www.nightwares.com/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
