Hi Allen,
Nice to see a new contributor to the thread. Welcome!
Re: so pardon me if I'm repeating something that's been said before.
Not to worry, after 260K messages, everything here is a repeat.

Re: If in fact both Bush administrations have been double-dealing by their involvement with unsavory elements in the Middle East, what difference does it make that the Clinton administration did the same?
It makes no difference to intelligent progressives on the thread. The RWEs want to reduce this to a silly partisan food fight however.

Re: Does that make it OK for Bush to continue behaving this way?
It doesn't make it OK. It makes Dubya the highest ranking hypocrite in the country. Pharisees, of Biblical lore, were more moral that the Shrub.

Re: I, for one, don't care whether somebody who is consorting with America's enemies is a Democrat, Republican or Independent. Whoever they are, I want them stopped.
Many here agree with you, as I do. The RWEs never discuss this matter, preferring instead to distract the thread with endless diversions.

Re: If we focus the debate solely on political affiliation, and justify one administrations actions by pointing out the failings of another, we are never going to be able to actually solve any of these problems.
That has been the cynical plan of both wings of the Corporate Party (DEMs and GOP) for the past 20 years. You are catching on to the fact that the people of the U.S. are facing a huge threat and wily enemy, i.e. our erstwhile political and business "leaders". Biggest bunch of scoundrels on the planet.

Re: My enemy may be guilty of a crime, but that doesn't mean I get to commit one without being held responsible for it.
You'll never eat lunch in Washington again. Truth tellers need not apply.
