The US, UN & Iraq III

Yes.

Yeah, bernie ... very tired of it. But then, I'm tired of cleaning the barn long before I've gotten enough of it done to call the job finished. Ya gotta stick to it; it won't go away by itself.

c.i., I learned it this way: I before E, except after C. Think of perceive, which is not covered by your rule.

HofT is well known to me on Abuzz' "Steer" thread. Onmymarc keeps all of us updated on new legislation about animal abuse and animal rights. It is a thread of long standing and has moments of sorrow and moments of hope. HofT doesn't post often; she is too busy.

Maybe it's the 'shut it out of your mind' side effect of war that allows it to continue. Isn't history supposed to guide us into the future?

Just a thought

Gel,

Kara, Thanks for clearing that up. My English language skills do not include words like "perceive," because that's a college word. c.i.

"In Iraq they went to one of Saddam's palaces, and here's what they found: a private zoo, Prozac and pictures of naked women. It's sort of like Michael Jackson's place -- except for the naked women."

Whiskey on Bordeaux - timber, even my good old days I knew THAT result!

(A good old highland malt, yes, that could do some help.)

some are getting a little tipsy......

After yesterdays schmozzle, wherein I probably lost an old friend, I was not going to set foot on this thread again. But the following announcement of US intent as regards Iraq can't go unmentioned. Three weeks or so ago, I expressed my suspicion that the US was not planning to leave Iraq at all, but wanted to utilize it as their military base in the mid-east. Adding this element into the equation was coherent with what the boys in charge appeared to be reaching for, including their stance as regards the UN before the war and after. It is only now they are admitting it.

What are the chances, do you all suppose, that the US will EVER allow an election wherein the poll-leading party, regardless of its other platform positions, has also advanced the policy position of US troops and facilities leaving their country? And what word, do you suppose, best describes such a state of affairs? http://www.nytimes.com/2003/04/20/international/worldspecial/20BASE.html
