Getting bin Laden is more of a symbolic "nice-to-have," even if it's just getting him with an Atomic Wedgie w/a Half Twist. The defeat and discrediting of the entire terrorist impulse is of more importance, and this is not embodied in just one tall Saudi that the Saudis don't want back.

Aliantha, I didn't start this thread or thank America. I just jumped in when someone made a comment about fighting Iraqis over there rather than on American soil. That somehow equates to my not understanding or caring about the potential dangers faced by America. I just don't think America faced/s a threat from that particular quarter.

I really don't know why you're so agro, Brianna. I get blasted for being anti-American if I bash the Bush guvmint and now I get blasted because I thank America (rethorically) for showing him that it does not approve his policies. Your Yanks are really to sensitive....*sigh*....

No I didn't vote for Bliar, as I'm not a UK citizin. And you're free to bash Bliar any time, as far as me concerns and thanks to UT and Bruce.

What planet did you live on th last 3 years?

You know what, Brianna, I do have a life outside The Cellar :rolleyes:

All that has been achieved strategically is that Iran is now the main regional power. Don't think that was the meaning, or wassit?

Which Republican "Plan" will win the war? The only plan left is to get out of there, pronto!

Hear, hear! Never a truer word was said.

I do so humbly apologize you arrogant fuck.

Anyone who can post six posts in a row can answer questions, don't you think? Oh! Don't answer that! You're far too busy.

ahuh.....*backs slowly out the room*

Hit a nerve here, Brianna, dear?

trying to keep up with the messages, Brianna. Sorry for answering. You can always put me on the ignore list.

I've been on this planet - the one called Earth, thank you. I know I have a very different view of things than most of you do - obviously. I think there are a lot of "sheep" in America that watch and listen to what the liberal media says and blindly follow. I am not one of them. I have views that are not unilateral with any particular party, but feel that many Americans cast votes this week to send a message to the President and although the message was received, I believe it will further complicate and compound some problems and issues not solve them.

I am not interested in getting into a pissing match with any of you here, this has started to turn very negative and personal - I am not blameless either, but I felt that someone had to offer a different point of view other than "Everythings gonna be great" now that the Dems have control of the house and Senate.

The above is just my opinion nothing more nothing less. Thank you for allowing me to vent.

Hippikos: You have not hit any nerve in me, ever. You are a plain and simple arrogant fuck who believes that voters in America vote with the thought of YOU in mind. Oh, it's really too, too funny.

Now. Your wish is granted and you are on my ignore list.

No wucking forries, mate.

You might look into some US Congressional Investigations in which Iraq's role has been examined. Most if not all WH accusations you also mentioned have been refuted.

Re "Everythings gonna be great", won't say it'll be all nice and dandy from now on, but it's impossible to do worse after the last 6 years.
