--The connection between Iraq & the terrorists is obvious to everyone but those who have a leftist political agenda. It was proven that one of OBL's closest operatives was in fact in Baghdad before 9/11/2001. *************************************** >>re: Vietnam.....oh, yeah the domino theory....that, of course , is now laughable....amazing how our withdrawal didn't change a thing except the government in S.Vietnam.<< --You show no concern whatsoever for those Vietnamese who assisted U.S. forces & then were deserted. As a result, they received brutal treatment from the communist conquerors. ************************************ re: Grenada....one of the biggest laughs of all time...Ronnie wanted to look like a war president after slinking out of Lebanon.... Instituted total news blackout of the invasion and it's immediate aftermath. So called med students never thought they were in danger.<< --Total news blackout? There was TV coverage of the military operation. How can you consider that a blackout? I heard the med students with my own ears express their gratitude to Pres Reagan & the U.S. military, for their rescue from a dangerous situation. ************************************** >>re: Panama....under what international law did we have the right to invade a country and kidnap their leader to bring him to jail in our country? He was running drugs??? Why didn't we invade Columbia instead? Something has always smelled here and I'm surprised the press has never sniffed it out. Also a near total news blackout... "We did it for the children"....lolol!!<< --It was part of the War on Drugs. Don't underestimate the value of curtailing Noriega's network & the positive effect on American children of a shorter supply of drugs. ************************************* >>Most WWII vets puke when you try to equate their war with the war of choice in Iraq and so will clear thinkin g people all over the world.....on the other hand,all of us support the Afghanistan war but wonder why we seem to be giving it short schrift.<< --The reason we elect a President is to make crucial decisions for us, since none of us have the vast array of information he has at his finger tips every day. We cannot make harsh judgments about Iraq, when we are lacking all the details; although, many who are spinning themselves into the ground in an effort to elect John Kerry, pretend to know all the facts re Iraq. Most voters can see through their political aspirations.
