They will get in bed with anybody, and do anything, if gets them what they want (or what they think they want). They are thieves and liars, habitually. Can you find a post when I said otherwise?
I don't believe I've seen a post where you've discussed your feelings about it previously.
People who act on principles, are quite rare. And people who not only act on principles, but end up running nations, are as rare as palm trees in Alaska.
And regardless of what many of you want to assert, I believe that Bush acted on principle with regard to Iraq.
He surely knew some semblance of the risk he was taking when he decided to enforce those UNSC resolutions in the face of a minority veto by the other SELF-INTERESTED AND CORRUPT Permanent members of the UNSC.
I don't mind criticism of US policy in this matter. There is more than enough blame to go around from things American administrations have, or haven't done, properly.
But it's really high time to share some of that blame and QUIT LETTING SOME OF THESE FOLKS AVOID TAKING THEIR SHARE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONDITION OF THE MID-EAST, including the regimes that are currently in power in the region.
And I'd like to start seeing this administration, and even John Kerry, pushing this Oil for Food scandal in order to generate some cooperation on the part of Chirac and Putin. I think some of that is responsible for what cooperation we've received lately, such as at the G8 meeting, but I think we shouldn't pussy foot around about making it known how p*ssed off we are and to what lengths we're willing to go to expose this scandal.
American lives are on the line here.
