Cheney calls Iraq a quagmire...

Um? What the fuck does this have to do with the topic.

You continue with the MOST PATHETIC posts in the history of this website.

Yeah, he almost makes me miss monstertruck. I mean, he could at least start out on-topic.

I feel kind of dirty doing this, but:

It really happened
As did the joint resolution.

However, the attack mentioned was rabidly opposed by the very people now cheerleading for the Chimpster (anybody remember "Wag the Dog?"). And, though alpha22 seems to be implying otherwise, the joint resolution never considered invasion as a viable response. It encouraged support (including militarily) for the Iraqi parties that were working toward democratic regime change.

That is all.

Yeah right, I remember when this was a site that didn't have boards and paid writers to criticize paying members that chose to post whatever they want to. What is the point of posting something from 13 years ago.

Under what username? This current one hasn't been here long enough to say that.

I'm sorry, I missed the part where Clinton established a policy of invading and occupying a sovereign nation, without UN sanction and in opposition to the considered opinions of most of our NATO allies.

I dunno, what's the point of plagiarizing...er...posting something from 38 years ago?

I mean, shit, it's not like things more than a decade old have any impact on current events, right? Every ten years all of humanity around the world essentially "reboots", erasing our entire historical record like a shook-up Etch-A-Sketch.

I mean, unless you're blaming Bill Clinton for...uh...managing to destroy Saddam Hussein's WMD capacity through air strikes rather than rushing us into an incredibly poorly planned invasion and occupation of Iraq? Wow, what a fucktard he was, I guess.

Thank you. I was hoping that the OP would have the manners to do this - he claims to have been here long enough to know how things are done here - but I'm answered.

If this was the prevailing wisdon in the 90's what happened? and why was this not brought up?

Becuase Operation Desert Fox effectively neutralized Saddam as a threat to US interests and to the Middle East.

In short, the invasion and occupation of Iraq was unnecessary, for any reason whatsoever.

I mean except as a boon to Haliburton.

For the last fucking time Alpha22, we're not loyalists to the Democrats or the Clinton Administration. You're not and never have made a point.

Have you gone kookoo, Colinism?

Or is this some way of saying you don't think your question was answered?

Well played, Nick.

No sorry the wireless acted up and I never even got to finish typing out what I was going to say, it's a moot point now anyhow.

So the wireless hs been broken since 1994? I'd call customer service.
