Re: This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression


Why?

Because the problem is that the author is using the same left leaning line, we had no right to invade Iraq, Israel has no right to defend themselves.

A lot of the people knew that the UN was the driving force behind the invasion and it was not just the US heading it up alone. Many tend to forget that there were specific reasons that France, Germany and Russia all opposed the invasion but hell Ken they were covering their a** with the Oil for Food program and other activities that we could not stop unless we invaded. They all cried about the exclusion of their companies in rebuilding Iraq, boo hoo..... The Iraqis wanted us to come in and change the government, our official policy was from the Clinton administration and we acted - remember how happy they were to vote for the first time with the US backing their RIGHT to vote not the candidates. Look around, seriously look around and see what is going on there.

Israel had 100% right to do what they did and I wish they finished the job, wiped the country off the map. Even today as I type there are killings going on right on the border by not the waring Israelites but the terrorist throwing missiles, mortars and what ever into Israel. The author lost his credibility over the 5 soldiers, that was the last straw for them and they did what any country should do. AND THEY still capitulated by stopping the operation and than recently releasing prisoners who killed people on their soil, one who should have been shot was a guy who killed a 4 year old and her father 20 years ago.

Both you and I know what this is all about, so the author stands on the point that we, the US are the villain and that Georgia is out puppet state, which is wrong. In fact it reminds me of the propaganda from the Soviets during the early 60's where the Soviet supported left wing German underground was trying to get the Germans to turn against us as we protected them - same thing.

Re: This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression


Yea I know but OVM asked. He's pretty in-tune with things and I would expect him to ask.

I don't think many can see through the fog to the truth, maybe going to Georgia may be a good trip for a group, I'm game. I am rusty on my Georgia accent but......

Re: This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression


Guys... no self respecting student would quote The Guardian newspaper as an objective, authoritative source. It is so far out of leftfield, it is hardly part of this galaxy. Twenty years ago, my college professors told us it had no credibility at all. Much like Air America, only pushes an extreme left-wing agenda. Absolutely hates America, but embraces Louis Farrakhan. Many newspaper push an extreme agenda, but The Guardian is the worst of the lot.

No, I don't think so OVM. Even my "CC" is smarter that Jennifer the "Witch". Michigan is living proof that Osama Obama's tax plan won't work. Those kind of taxes are in place in Michigan and we are enjoying a great one state recession. Layoutshooter
