LOL!!!!

OOFie
OC

Ah, can I get a translation of that into standard English. Or German. Or Spanish. Any of them will do.

life is too short for us to
have to watch you get OC and
start researching and posting
links to chit we've already read

Dear friend, I am merely seeing that the historical record is understood correctly.

didn't you see the irony and humor in the two bolded
portions?

Oh, yes. It is impossible for a fixed policy to cover all contingencies. However, can you see that it would be even worse to have every gov't employee making up law and policy as they see fit?

it's easy to imagine what a diplomat should say in that
situation and there's NO WAY i could ever imagine a real
ambassador saying the sentence that you made up. i could
see this maybe, "You know, Honorable President Hussein,
the international community may not choose to look the
other way if you decide to move in on Kuwait."

Which that does. It directly contravenes the stated position of the US gov't. Now do you want every diplomat in the US Foreign Service winging it as they see fit? Or do you want them consulting Washington when they can and otherwise sticking to stated policy?

but i appreciate your intelligent humor and irony and
that's why i threw you the straight line question...
"who told you to say that?"

I thank you for honoring me with this opportunity to provide you with such first rate entertainment.

her middle-aged hormones are raging
and she's probably just making a cyber-play for my
affections. <g>

I think you overestimate the effect of those hormones on her intellect. I feel I should not comment on the second matter.

you're right, i'm as dumb as a big stick. walk softly,
and carry me... please.

I'm afraid you shall have to carry yourself. I have a bad back.

you and i are taking up way too much
space on this thread with humor and sparring when we could
be reading the articles and comments that stockman scott
and lurqer are sharing here every day. they're much more
useful than what we're doing here.

i love those dudes!

PM me where you are and I will try to find a good psychiatrist in the area. I'll do the same stockman and lurqer if they wish. God know they need it.
