    Let's try this again: Clinton left office in early 2001. It doesn't matter.

    Try to grasp this: Your candidates lost. It doesn't matter what they would or wouldn't have done.

    I know it's hard to face the reality.

    Just tossing in another voice:

    Anyone see Bush's video comments with Blair today? I think stopping the sh*t would work, too. But I'll let El Presidente say it best.

    Don't have a link for it, but www.cnn.com has it big and bright on its site (at least at 2 p.m. Central it did) so you can't miss it at all.

    As Mick Foley says, "Have a nice day."

    When Bush said that ("Syria needs to get Hezbollah to stop this shit"), I experienced the only moment in my life where I genuinely liked him. And not to un-jack this thread, but here is a pretty solid, recent story on the crisis:

    S-bomb aside, that was pretty interesting. I would have liked to have heard more of it.

    That depends on the definition of "is."

    Clinton's quotes were the start of ginning up the idea to go to war with Iraq. You continue  to promote  the idea that the notion that Saddam had WMD's came from Bush.

    If Clinton had not been talking about the possibility of WMD's well before 2001 - no way congress vote to give Bush  right to go to war.
     

  9. There isn't a single historical fact in this post. It's quite remarkable.
    Unlike Fredo, who's already said the solution in Iraq's going to be the next guy's problem -- or, more likely, the next four guys' problem -- Clinton didn't begin the process of going to war with Iraq so that the current bunch of clusterf**kers could finish it. He put together a policy that -- wait for it -- ACTUALLY DISARMED the place, as all the subsequent investigators have proven. Now, I had my own problems with sanctions-plus-bombing, but to call them a precursor to the current war is to argue from Neptune -- if, for no other reason, than the fact that the people running the alleged foreign policy NOW all signed a letter criticizing Clinton for NOT invading the place.
    He hoped for regime change. But nothing he ever did can be said to have resulted in 130K Americans caught in a civil war. You might as well blame JFK for backing the Baathists in 1962.
    Which you will.

    Someone on the TV said Hezbollah has 10,000 rockets. The good news is they've already fired a thousand-plus, so maybe if Israel succeeds in cutting off their resupply from Syria, the terrorists will shoot their wad in the next week or two.

    I'm pretty sure Israel's bombed every road, bridge and airport that could make resupply possible.

    If Hezbollah's going to get more rockets, it's going to be done by having dudes carry them one at a time through the hills.
