  3. Darn! All along I thought that Iraquis commanded by Sadam Hussein were
    responsible for 9/11 and that he was the leader of Al Qaeida.

    I also thought that Osama Bin Laden was our friend. After all John
    Rambo, in Rambo III, joins his army to fight against the Russians in
    Afganistan. Also, Osama offered his army of holly warriors to fight
    against the Iraqis to expell them from Kuwait.

    Wasn't Sadam a good friend of us too? Didn't the Reagan administration
    gave him tons of weapons so that he could fight tht Iranians, our
    enemies? Wait.... I am more confused....didn't the Reagan
    administration also gave weapons to the Iranians in exchange for
    hostages.

    Oh wait.... now I am really confused. Someone told me that the people
    that are responsible for 9/11 are all Saudi Arabians. Aren't the
    Saudis our friends? So, was it the Iraqis or the Saudis that caused
    9/11?

    Can anyone clarify for me?

    Thanks,

    Andres

    Them 9/11 hijackers were not sponsored by an state. They were trained in a
    variety of locations, including the U.S.

    Yes, the US Government have pandered to many nations who they think will
    help the USA cause, without thinking it fully through, then they get
    kicked up the ass when they realise the mistake they've made.They are
    currently feteing the Saudis as all thats good about the Gulf, when in
    effect the Saudi rulers are pretty much despots who cannot give a stuff
    about Human Rights,and just want to stay in power, much like the current
    US government, who think they can treat POW's with impunity,and hold them,
    without charge or access to independent lawyers, for as long as they feel
    fit.
    No, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, George Bush wanted a war, he was
    getting bored with Afghanistan, so needed something else to occupy him,
    and to keep all his friends, in business and arms supply, happy.
    Afghanistan is still a war zone in parts of the Country, and the poppy
    yield is going to be high this year, so next year when the cheap heroin is
    reaching the US cities, you can thank G.W.B. for his 'victory' in allowing
    the free market to flourish in the 'liberated' Afghanistan.

    Um, business as usual? I mean we are still up to all this [censored] and no one
    seems to care, as long as us Americans can drive our H2"s and Expeditions.
    At least Cheney is making a pile of money on all this war and lord know the
    Bush family is getting a little on the side. lol

    Well, time to start up my Ford F350 four door extended cab with the
    powerstroke with a cover over the bed because it never has anything in it
    but my fat ass and drive it down to the grocery to pick up all prepared
    foods because I am to lazy and fat to cook.

    Yee-haw IS now foreign policy!

    No.

    The Reagan, Bush I and Bush II administrations were and are insane
    (and are the same groups of people, for the most part). None of them
    can do simple math, none of them knows how to operate a budget, none
    of them think the Constitution is worth defending if it gets in their
    way, and all of them know that if they lie long enough the majority of
    Americans will decide they are telling the truth. The neocons live by
    Wizard's First Rule.

    One can only hope for an ouster in November.

    If the U.S. cycled more instead of driving, the Middle East wouldn't be so
    important to us.

  11. Where's Mark Hickey on this one?

    delete the W in both the email address and White House

  12. I've seen this type of behavior before (Walter Cronkite comes to mind)... an
    aging man, respected in his field, uses his name as a soapbox on which to
    subject those who are unfortunate enough to be listening to his highbrow,
    gray-haired wisdom. Its too bad, really.

    Well, at least any tinge of guilt I felt for photocopying "The Bicycle
    Wheel" from my local library is now gone... (and I may stop greasing my
    tapers).

    No.

    Take a deep breath, go to a video store, and rent "Wag the Dog".
    Keep saying "it's only a movie, it's only a movie" as if you could really
    mean it.

    I don't know the significance of "aging" (aren't we all?) or "gray-haired",
    except as a gratuitous pot shot, but, if your big fear is that Jobst will
    abuse his automatic credibility with this audience, you must be new here.

    Greasing tapirs is illegal in 12 nations under OAS treaties and in 19
    states. You don't want to be admitting such behavior on Usenet!

    That's the least of my worries.

    "If you see a tapir lounging on a hot day, you might think it is
    slothful. However, in motion, tapirs are fast and agile, and they also
    swim well. Tapirs in captivity sometimes have violent tantrums: a Malay
    tapir severed the arm of a keeper at the Oklahoma City Zoo in 1998."

    It's the Republican way these days to try to run down the person saying the
    contentious statement by denigrating them in some way and not responding to
    what he/she said. Just last week, Talk show host Mark Davis, when
    responding to Gen. Anthony Zinni's statements about the way in Iraq,
    dismissed them entirely by saying "Why should we listen to a retiree?"
