What's the title going to be? "I Duh'd it My Way"?

UG....one of the first acts of Daniel Ortega on his return to office was to join the anti-American group, ALBA.

So what did the illegal Iran/Contra scam really accomplish?

What did Reagan/GHW Bush arming both Iran and Iraq accomplish?

And why was it in the US best interest to divert most US troops and resources from Afghanistan and hunting down and dismantling al Queda and declare Iraq the "central front in the war on terrorism?"

I'm off for now, but I'll be back to discuss Iraq and its uncertain future, particularly:

What has been accomplished when the fastest growing political movement in Iraq is al Sadr's extremist fundamentalist group with ties to Iran?

What did funding and arming Sunni tribal chiefs as part of the Anbar Awakening accomplish other than give these guys the wherewithal to oppose the central government when the US pulls out.

What about those millions of refugees and displaced persons as a result of 4-5 years of sectarian violence, many of whom formed the foundation of the Iraqi middle class (doctors, lawyers teachers, etc) and many of whom (particularly Sunnis) who are not likely return to Iraq, in part because they have no home to return to and are highly distrustful of the Shia controlled government.
