"There is little question he harrassed Ms. Willy and little question he actually raped Ms. Broderick. While YOU may not believe these assaults occurred, rational people who have the facts do." Sorry, there are no facts, just accusations. For what it is worth, his pattern is more of a seducer than a rapist. But believe what you want. "you and the other liberals would have been shouting at the tops of your lungs about how he violated the mandate. " Wrong. While I thought that he should have at least tried those sanctions he implemented with great fanfare, once the decision was made to invade, he should have finished it. leaving things half-done meant that we will likely have to kill more of our troops some other day. Just because you personally change your positions based on what you are told to think, doesn't mean everyone else does. In addition, based on you calling Tim a liberal, your labels of others is problem wrong. Not that being wrong or mis-informed ever stopped you. "This statement is ridiculous. Suppose, just for a minute, that the likes of Clinton and Carter had been managing the situation. We'd STILL have a Cold War today!!!" That is a brain dead statement if there ever was. Of course, you have nothing but empty words. Sure, because Reagan told them to, the wall was torn down. Because Reagan was in office, the Soviet Union deliberately crashed their economy. Now who is being an idiot? "But to suggest that Carter had any positive effect on the American military is an outrage." Uh, huh. Your faith again, no doubt. Are you saying that he didn't give the go ahead on smart weapons? That he didn't fund their deployment? Oh, I get it. That wasn't done until Reagan got into office. Talk about revising history. "Carter devasted the military, and left it in total disarray. He gutted our military intelligence operation." The military was in total disarray and the end of Vietnam for a number of reasons. Chief was that Congress was trying to pin all the blame for losing there on the people who fought the war, not the ones who managed it, i.e. Congress. While Carter deserves blame for not standing up for the military more, he doesn't deserve all the blame. And even if he did, it does not change the fact that the big deployment of smart weapons occurred under his administration. "Then, after eight years, of strong leadership, nuclear proliferation is no longer an issue." Re-writing history again, huh? There is a difference between a hot political issue and a real problem. Nuclear proliferation is still a problem, unless you think that India, Pakistan, North Korea or any country with enough money to buy one off the Russians isn't a problem. If it isn't considered to be at least a small problem, then why do we need to field SDI? Didn't think of that one, now did you? But thinking isn't your strong suit, is it?
