<< ... but American troops being sent into war torn, lawless regions, is the definition of their job. >> Where did you pull this definition out of? Is this a quote from Kid Bush or President Chaney? I guess all you conservatives are in favor of sending our troops to dangerous areas of the world, where our national interests are not at stake. The military had better get ready, there are a lot of hot spots all over the world. When would you like our troops sent into Afganistan? << What about the escalation of US involvement in Columbia, Barry? >> I think that our war on drugs has been a total disaster. But, that guilt is shared equally by Democrats and Republicans. Poppa Bush will suffer the guilt for the unforgivable mistake of sending our kids into Somalia, that is, unless he washed his hands of the mission when he left office.

--What about the escalation of US involvement in Columbia, Barry? Clinton has dipped our feet in a quagmire to rival Vietnam. Just sent a several billion dollar aid package in the last months of his Presidency. Digging us deeper and deeper. US forces ARE in Columbia, providing intelligence to Columbian army and anti-drug units. Im quite sure there are probably "military advisors" in Columbia as well. What do you think about that "awful idea" being "saddled" upon Bush? What do you think about Clinton getting us involved in a "war torn, lawless" jungle thick with civil war and powerful international drug cartels?-- i think bush will escalate this 'drug war... that's at least part of what the repubs are 'all about.' the repubs think that they and the mercks of the world know the difference between 'good' and 'bad' drugs. the sad part is that most of the population appears to have been brainwashed into going along with these lies. one telling thing... notice how everyone agrees it's 'drugs and alcohol' when in fact the statement is redundant. ALCOHOL IS A DRUG... THE WORST DRUG in 'my book.' if bush pulls out of colombia; if he undoes what clinton has 'started,' i will then certainly have to admit i'd misjudged him in this respect, 'going in.' andy
