Bush: Decisions Have Made Iraq More Unstable

[Gaffer]

Syria does not have a goal to wipe out the US.....

just read up on the subject - and Tom Friedman is as knowlegeable a journalist about the issues of the middle east as anyone - and then get back to me. Until you know a little more about what you are talking about, our discussions will only result in anxiety and feelings of futility and I, frankly, don't have the time.

Well I wouldn't want you to have anxiety and feelings of futility. I am well read on the subject.

Syria would very much like to wipe out the US, they just don't have the power alone to do it. They couldn't even take Israel out without help. They are not listed in the axis of evil for nothing.

Bush's axis of evil did not include Syria.

yeah...you are obviously very well read on the subject!

Iraq, Iran, and North Korea....now really...I need to go get some sleep... you'll hav to ask someone else to carry on with these remedial foreign affairs lessons..... you could get "Foreign Affairs for Dummies" which perhaps is not over your head, and then maybe we could continue.

I was unaware that a nation had to be in the axis of evil to be hostile against us.

they don't.... but they do have to be a member of the axis of evil to be a member of the axis of evil, don't they?

and if they aren't called Iran, Iraq or North Korea, they aren't in the axis of evil.....

I mean, just because Peyton Manning is a good football player does not make him a member of the New England Patriots, does it?

This idea that there is some new list as to the axis of evil is a pathetic attempt to save face.

Not saving face at all. When sadam went down iraq replaced syia on the list. If iran or syria are teaken down venezula will probably take its place. Kind of a top three that hate us the most list. Bush made the list, I didn't. If he choses to change it that up to him.

actually...I have heard where a few administration officials have made comments like Syria is in a group Beyond the Axis of Evil or in a league with the axis of evil...but I have yet to find anything where Bush has ever called Syria a member of the axis of evil. If you have a link, please produce it.

true to form...I asked if anyone could provide a link where Bush called Syria a member of the axis of evil and Gunny - numb as a hake Gunny - posted two links which attribute the assignment to John Bolton.

what a tool.

And Gaffer, like a lap dog, congratulates him for his missed opportunity.

Why am I not surprised?

And Bolton worked for who?

Oh...so let me get this straight. Anytime anyone who works for someone says something, that is exactly as if the person they worked for said it themselves? Do I have that right??

I hope so...

In that spirit, here is an interesting quote by George W. Bush

"And a year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in Baghdad that is named after ME, the great and beneficent George W. Bush. There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they've been liberated."
