Way off topic, but it has do to with the French

Meanwhile the Bush Administration raised its threat level from
Bomb-Into-Democracy to Nukem-and-let-God-sortem-out...and that's just
the Democrat Party. Furriners are ignored as useless, unless they
wear a turban, in which case the threat level is borrowed from the
English and French: 100-year-war.

It must be awful for you to watch Iraq succeeding, no? Sorta like a
slow-motion train...construction project...

:-)

Seriously, if something bad doesn't happen in Iraq (or somewhere), and soon,
Hillary doesn't stand a chance against Obama. With her perceived
superiority in foreign policy issues as the main defining difference between
them, (well, other than age, gender, experience, attitude, etc. -- but those
don't seem to matter), the lack of any foreign crises is truly hurting her
campaign.

I'll say this about the Democratic campaigns -- it's been a lot more fun to
watch than the Republicans. Heck, even French politics have been more fun
than watching Huckabee and whatsisname trying to beat McCain.

What is Hillary's experience with foreign crises? Monica? Seriously,
I'm honestly curious why the Hillary camp talks up her "experience".
What experiece do they refer to? She's a junior Senator (just like
Obama). The only difference between the two is that before being a US
Senator Obama was a state Senator and Hillary was First Lady. Is she
saying First Lady is better presidential experience than state
Senator? In a poker game is First Lady a better hand than state
Senator (not that I'm saying either one really has any true national
leadershiip experience)?

I'm not a Huckabee fan (which isn't to say I dislike him) but his appearance
on SNL Saturday Night had me laughing out loud:
PERFECT comedic timing: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xvSXpM5qGmg

I guess Jay's idea of success is killing 10's of thousands of innocent
people including thousands of our troops, increasing the national debt by
over a trillion dollars, making the US look like a bully to the rest of the
world, and running our economy and military into the ground as an
inheritance for our children. And all of this in the name of removing a
cruel secular dictator who hated Bin Laden and replacing him with an Islamic
government that will ally itself with Iran. Wow, what a success!

Increasingly hard to argue against those points except on one: Hussein was
a bully, and with regard to Afghanistan, most Americans don't view
themselves as "bullying" Al Qaeda anymore than they viewed themselves as
fighting WWII "bullying" after Pearl Harbor. They attacked us.

I will never regret my tax dollars being spent fighting AQ and the Taliban
anywhere in the world. I do, however, hold the war policy makers
accountable for NOT FINISHING THE FREAKIN' JOB before starting another one.
That's all.

Who in Afghanistan attacked you?

What was the nationality of those involved in 9/11?

It was very clear at the time that the masterminds behind the 9/11
attacks were in Afghanistan. It was also clear that AQ was training in
Afghanistan. Hell, the Afghanistan government didn't even deny it.

We told them very clearly that they either turn those responsible over
or we would come in and get them. They basically said, "bring it" so we did.

Did we get all of them? No. But we did pretty well. And last time I
checked there hasn't been a terrorist attack on US soil since.

One thing I've always found interesting when someone puts out the "we
haven't been attacked since" card is that no one in the national media
to my knowledge anyway, has even come close to suggesting something so
basic to common sense that it defies explanation.

Anyone with half a strategic brain has to at least consider the fact
that the reason could very well be that they don't WANT to attack us
again...at least not yet.

Attacking us again would be counter productive to the gains they have to
be seeing happening as we speak through the splitting up of the country
into war and anti-war factions with politicians from both sides fighting
with each other for "control" of the government.

Even the common man in the street can see if they just open their brains
up and THINK, that attacking us again while all this is going on would
serve to UNITE the country rather than divide it!

I could be wrong, but this seems plausible to me. Why do something that
nails a few thousand people and really ****es off the rest of the people
, when you can sit back and let the idiot politicians divide and destroy
the country for you?
