Gauguin:
I agree with you, and think his perjury underlines his poor character. His lack of ethics and his cynical nature, combined with his intelligence, makes him a very dangerous "leader."
Operation Desert Fox. Fox, as in Sly Fox.
In a post on the Strictly Drilling thread, a note was posted that contained the following:
"...According to Koranic tradition - building on pre-Islamic customs - warfare is strongly discouraged in the four lunar months after Ramadan. But no mention is made of an injunction against fighting in the Koranic chapter (Sura al-Baqara) specifying observance of Ramadan."
"...Diplomats note that neither Iran nor Iraq stopped fighting during Ramadan during their long war in the 1980s. And the joint Egyptian-Syrian attack on Israel in 1973 was launched during Ramadan."
So, if the Islamic nations can raise no objections to an attack during Ramadan, based on their own history, and there's little likelihood of obtaining any meaningful strategic benefit from bombing Iraq (for an insightful article on this, see the-times.co.uk ), then the only motive left is that Clinton's risking American and British lives, and killing Iraqi civilians, in a truly cynical attempt to ward off impeachment. That's despicable.
