They de-regulated everything and with the CEOs and CFOs, they fleeced America. As far as defending other countries... first shove all those republican presidents who created those monsters in the first place with the above cretins at the bottom of the ocean...msnbc.com "Washington decided to give Iraq a helping hand. After Rumsfeld’s visit to Baghdad in 1983, U.S. intelligence began supplying the Iraqi dictator with satellite photos showing Iranian deployments. Official documents suggest that America may also have secretly arranged for tanks and other military hardware to be shipped to Iraq in a swap deal—American tanks to Egypt, Egyptian tanks to Iraq. Over the protest of some Pentagon skeptics, the Reagan administration began allowing the Iraqis to buy a wide variety of “dual use” equipment and materials from American suppliers. According to confidential Commerce Department export-control documents obtained by NEWSWEEK, the shopping list included a computerized database for Saddam’s Interior Ministry (presumably to help keep track of political opponents); helicopters to transport Iraqi officials; television cameras for “video surveillance applications”; chemical-analysis equipment for the Iraq Atomic Energy Commission (IAEC), and, most unsettling, numerous shipments of “bacteria/fungi/protozoa” to the IAEC. According to former officials, the bacteria cultures could be used to make biological weapons, including anthrax. The State Department also approved the shipment of 1.5 million atropine injectors, for use against the effects of chemical weapons, but the Pentagon blocked the sale. The helicopters, some American officials later surmised, were used to spray poison gas on the Kurds." ...and secondly... Defending my behind. We are killing innocent people at a rate of 50 to 1 and we are creating 10 cells for everyone we destroy. Yes, from time to time we may get one of those people/monsters we ourselves helped create fund and train, but the fact is if your moto was an eye for eye (a non-Christian value BTW), we have been blind from the blood of innocent people long ago. And as long as we remain hypocritical and unjust (what about UN resolution 242 Mr. President? or is it only the Iraq ones bother you Mr. Hypocrite President?), Israel and the U.S. are the last nations on earth to talk about war on terrorism cause the creation, funding, training and arming of such starts with us. And so does the escalation by the killing of innocent women and children. The Israeli and U.S. governments are the biggest terrorist hypocrites of all. Never have I seen so many hypocrites blinded by unjust and non-Christian values (you could almost call them "satanic" values). JMHO and I only responded because you directed that message to me. Otherwise, I don't give a hoot what the right wing chicken hawks here and in Washington think. So keep those hypocritical opinions to yourself next time. <NG>
