factually correct?

like when he called that girl a slut...

That word is not in my vocabulary.
If it were, it 'd imply that I disapprove of excessive sexual activity,
which is not the case. That CONCEPT is not in my vocabulary.

more than 1 strike; possibly an infantry raid.

True libertarians would oppose such a war of aggression by the United States. Maybe Rush Limbaugh and yourself aren't as different as you think.

He was a homicidal maniac, with a grudge against us, for Kuwait.

If the objective is to get rid of homicidal maniacs, maybe America shouldn't have supported Saddam Hussein while he was massacring Kurds. But at the time, I suppose, it seemed like a good idea because a fire needed to be put out in Iran. Maybe American wars are less effective than you think at "putting fires out". But then, I never understood how America's conservatives and libertarians simultaneously believe that the US government can't be trusted to run America's own post office, and that it can be trusted to run the rest of the world.

Yes, u may well be right, Tom, qua a goodly proportion of them.
( Thay r a heterogeneous n disparate bunch. )
Additionally, their written doctrine will probably support your assertion
(as does Ron Paul), but I must be guided by my own Individual vu.
I gotta be me.
I see it as self defense, instead of waiting to inflict vengeance,
after it is too late, like 9/11/1.
I will not march in lock step with anyone with whom I disagree.
I rejected my father 's support of Roosevelt n Truman.

I said that I agree with about 6O% to 7O% of what I 've heard from him.
I dunno what his position is qua bombing the Persians.

Yeah, well we gotta prioritize.

We can only do our best.

We need to promote our interests around the world,
including those of self defense.

Thomas' point was you don't trust the government to protect your interests here, why would you trust them to protect your interests anywhere else?

David you might like to know that Iran had nothing to do with 9/11. If you unite the Moslem world against America expect lots more 9/11s, your idea that you can take out Iran is ridiculous. All you will do is make the world a far more dangerous place for Americans, and unfortunately those of us in Europe as well. Remember what Churchill said, 'Jaw jaw is better than war war.

Have you noticed that the ones who are too old to fight in wars are the ones most in favor of them?

Instead of ignoring our transgressions and escalating the animosity and confrontation with them by replacing it with paranoid myopia, we should own up to our wrongdoing, redress it and continue from there.

We can talk about anything we feel like talking about,
as long as we completely destroy their nuclear development facilities FIRST.

EVERYONE in the Army and the Marines
is in there because he WANTS to be in there.
We 've had no military conscription in this century.
As I remember, that ended about 5O years ago.

The vast majority of current military personnel joined up IN ACTIVE WARTIME.
Thay did not expect them to stop the war
because thay had joined, and just let them
sit around n get paid until their enlistments expired.

Thay all knew when thay joined that we actively USE the military.

It still doesn't mean they won't be missed when they die. They volunteered to join the military, they didn't volunteer to be sacrificed in an unnecessary war.

Thay volunteered to FIGHT.
Thay knew and know that fighting is dangerous.

Preventing our ports, like mine, from getting nuked is NOT "unnecessary war" as u put it.
A lot of us resent the fact of Roosevelt 's failure
to defend Pearl Harbor n don 't wanna repeat that.

Iran doesn't want to start nuking American ports. It would be suicide. An invasion of Iran will make a terrorist attack on the West more likely.

They joined the military to protect the United State citizens. Not Iran, Isralie, Saudi, or any foriegn citizens around the world. If ATT and BP and Chitaqua want protection let them pay for it not the U.S. citizens.

Speaking of Rush, he is in favor of Joseph Kony and accused Obama last year of targeting Christians.

Obama Invades Uganda, Targets Christians

Quote:

RUSH: President Obama has deployed troops to another war, in Africa, ladies and gentlemen. Jacob Tapper, ABC News, is reporting that Obama has sent 100 US troops to Uganda to help combat Lord's Resistance Army. Tapper reporting today: "Two days ago President Obama authorized the deployment to Uganda of approximately 100 combat-equipped U.S. forces to help regional forces 'remove from the battlefield' -- meaning capture or kill -- Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony and senior leaders of the LRA." I wonder how the Wall Street crowd is gonna react when they find out that Obama has sent troops to another war? "Mr. Limbaugh, it's just 100 peacekeepers." Yep, yep, yep, that's how Libya started, and, by the way, there's no end in sight for Libya.

Lord’s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony
Deliver Us from Joseph Kony

@OmSigDAVID,

You're quite happy to bet other people's lives on the ridiculous notion the world will be made safer by invading Iran. It won't, it will be made less safer, less safer for Americans, less safer for New Yorkers. It's the wrong call to make. Iran is losing influence hand over fist, let it run out of steam, don't lend the clerics credibility.

100% if the U.S. takes military action against Iran

less if the U.S. determines (finally) a more sensible approach

~~~

you definitely want to get away from New York if your recommendation of military action by the West against Iran is followed
