There is zero evidence this is from Iraq. Just more smoke and mirrors from Washington. These people don't know shit. We (or some of you) elected a bunch of guys interested in lining their pockets with oil money, business men who wanted control of the government for that purpose, to make a better business environment for themselves, not governing a country for the people. Look at who is there and where they come from.
This whole thing has them perplexed. Now the spin machine starts up. Who can we demonize? Who is the enemy? What got here? People always say you can't look back, only you can and you should. We are going to repeat this again and again if we do not look back and learn. We interred people in WWI, WWII and both were found to be unconstitutional later. Why is it okay to do it again? Sheesh people. Great idea, let's start lobbing around nukes and fuel air bombs, that's the ticket. Like the life 98% of Afghani's live isn't horrible now. Is it genocide we want? Will that solve this problem? What variable are we missing? If we want to fight a war, people are going to die - our people. We have spent so much time and money trying to sanitize warfare with smart weapons and the reality is it is a dirty, messy business. Russia found that out. I hope we are talking to and learning from them. Mountain warfare is very tough. -Gary > -----Original Message----- > From: Lon Lentz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 9:20 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: How long? > > > > Wow, I guess I'm glad that your sentiment wasn't the majority in WWII. > Who knows where we would have given up?
