The Sixties. We didn't flat out install him, however it's no secret that we may have... "assisted".

Ummm... being part of that world, it's usually a good idea to seek approval from it.
Quote:We are a dominant country with the will to impose our military to secure our national interests worldwide. We need not ask anyones approval.
Yet we force everyone else to get that same approval. Why? Because at that point, the USA be comes part of "the world" that aye's or nay's it. Then the shoe's on the other foot, isn't it?
China's a pretty goddamn dominant country, and ho-boy do they have the will to impose some military for their national interests. So... no approval needed for them? Cool! OOOOOH! RUSSIA!!! They're dominant! I guess Pootie-tang was in the clear when he started lining up missiles. I mean, they're protecting their interests worldwide. Military? Usually who uses missiles. Approval? Naah, let it ride!
Quote:Oh the Valerie Plame, the sercret agent who turned out to me a secretary who got her husband a gig in Niger to socialize in innuendo, come back to claim Cheney sent him, turn out it was his wife, and then there was that infamous report nobody saw? The shame having to recant he whole story in front of Congress of face prison, he soon fessed up.
Wow, hanging another hard right. When did Valerie come into this? More importantly, how does this change the evidence presented for the war? Does what happened when someone pissed off the good ol boys alter ANY of the evidence used to go to war in Iraq?
Regardless of what happened (links would be nice BTW), the evidence is unchanged. Fake bio labs and overblown WMD claims intact. Funny how you didn't even try to debate this, instead moving the goalposts.
Quote:On a side note. There are two things that come out of Niger that are exported. Camels and yellowcake. What do you think high Iraqi brass were there buying?
I'm gonna have to say... camels. There wasn't any yellowcake to be found, now was there? Whole shitload of camels in that part of town though.
Quote:The British report was never disproven? You know something nobody else does?
Is this a running trend on this side of the game??? Seriously, ALWAYS asking to "disprove" something, as if it were magically the truth once it was written. The British report was repeatedly shown to be false, as no yellowcake was ever purchased.
Then where was this great threat to America? Where's the mushroom cloud shaped smoking gun? Where are the weapons he was gonna use to attack our country?
Are you conceding that Iraq was not a threat to this country?
Quote:Just because we didn't find any doesn't mean there were none there.
Really, now? That's hilarious! Belief in nonexistent things seems to be a running trend too. How odd.
A cop pulls you over on the suspicion that you are moving a few bricks of weed. He then proceeds to search your car and trunk, only to find nothing. He arrests you on possession with intent, basing his arrest on a phone call three and a half years ago that sounded like you were trying to score a bag from your buddy Jake. You tell him you never bought weed, never had any in your trunk.
His response: "Just because we didn't find any doesn't mean there were none there."
I guess you'd smile and say the system works, right?

Quote:So what do you call shooting at our planes in the no fly zone?
Conflict. Isn't that what we call it when we fire at an enemy without going to war?
Quote:He really liked observing that surrender agreement he signed did he. He wasn't much for the IAEA either. Those two things alone are reason enough to get your ass whupped again. And alas he did.
Again, moving the goalposts. What threat was he to *THIS* country right here. What attacks could he have made on this chunk of land sticking out of the water?
