i would point out that the USA had to fix the problems in europes backyard in bosnia, and we get little credit for that. where is nato in afghanistan? also, i just want to correct one thing above, the USA absolutely did NOT sell saddam WMDs. others may have, but we knew he had them b/c the UN found them and inventoried them for ~6years after the 91 gulf war. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 (primary) / SBR (secondary) / SBC - w/SC 7.3b - Win XP Pro SP3 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - D-Link DIR-655 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54678 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
