Disingenuous.

From your link ...

Barack Obama went even further, declaring that the allies would soon be able to say: ‘The Afghan war as we know it is over.’

Geez, where have we heard rhetoric like that before?

VICE PRES. DICK CHENEY: My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.

DEF. SEC. DONALD RUMSFELD: Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that.



PRES. GEORGE W. BUSH: My fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. - 05/01/2003

Oh, yeah.

I never had that happen with a jukebox. But I did have it happen with a pinball machine I had in Bell's Restaurant downtown. Turned out it was one of the guys who worked in the kitchen who robbed me.
The way they come from the manufacturer, all those coin-operated machines (jukeboxes and amusement machines both) were very easy to break into. They all had a cash door with a chincy little cabinet lock on it. All anyone had to do is pry that door open with a flat blade screwdriver. Thieves would work in pairs. One would stand in front of the other to block his view from the location employee while the other one pries the cash door open.
So us route operators started putting hasps over the cash doors with carriage bolts and padlocks to secure them.
But that didn't always work in our favor.
One time I got a call that one of the video arcade machines I had in Fran's Laundromat on Jackson St was "down". When I pulled in the parking lot I saw part of it lying on the ground. And then more parts of it strewn all over the place inside and outside the laundry.
Since the thief couldn't open the cash door because of that hasp, he took a sledge hammer and literally bashed the whole machine to pieces.
So after that I decided to stop using the hasps and just let them pry the cash doors open. lol

March 17, 2003 - May 1, 2003 is all that offensive combat operations were sustained.

He has agreed to be the bat boy for the Blue Wahoos and work with Jimmy Carter on Habitat for humanity homes......and then have lunch with William......see with a little effort we can keep a thread together.

Neither did Saddam Hussein. Hell, forget the missile, he didn't even have the nuke itself. But boy that sure didn't seem to matter ten years ago, did it?

Saddam DID have chem weapons of which 99% of them are sitting in Bashir Assad's warehouses. We know he had chems because he used them against the Kurds in Halabja and much of the maladies of Gulf War Syndrome have been tied to the burning/bombing of those chem warfare sites during the first Gulf War along with the burning oil wells. With Saddam's nuke program it was more of a worry that he would give stuff away to the wrong people.

For the sake of argument, let's say that everything you've offered there is all absolutely true.

But where are we now. Well it's to the point now that everyone in the know is in agreement about that. And the answer is that after ten years and all that fortune spent and all those lives lost, Iraq is now a lot more allied with Iran as a result of deposing the Saddam regime.
How's that working out for us.

Of course our government knew he both possessed and had used chemical weapons. Our government was in bed with him WHEN he was doing it...

By the way, it wasn't Iran who started that war. Our government's ally, Saddam, started it. With our government's blessing.
Which in light of the history of the last 50 years, is pretty good evidence that our government's whole damn foreign policy has been pretty much insane.
And what happened to us on 9/11 (and by "us" I mean innocent Americans, not the fucking government because no politicians were slaughtered at the WTC or Pentagon), was the result of that 50 year insane foreign policy.
And no they didn't "hate us for our freedoms" like those politicians told you. They hated us because of how our government had fubar'ed up that region of the world for the half century prior.
And my guess is that nothing will be learned from it.
