But it's okay now because I'm making a shitload of money. And they'll never find me in Paraguay after 2009

Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein's government, then what are you going to put in its place? That's a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off: part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it -- eastern Iraq -- the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it for eight years. In the north you've got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey. It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.

The asshole's not even true to his own, previously stated political beliefs! And those Neo-con shitheads were SO sanctimoniously lecturing liberals & leftists during the Clinton impeachment proceedings that "words mean something!" (when Clinton was parsing the word 'is'). It's so meaningless that it's hardly even worth the effort to read what they say -- and I certainly wouldn't bother IF the fucking sheeple* in this country didn't listen to these assholes! How many times do you have to get hit in the head with a hammer before you realize it hurts??

(ie; the 40 or 50% who somehow always fucking 'undecided' even a month or two before the presidential election -- like they haven't had ENOUGH time to see the OBVIOUS shit emanating from the right-wing Neo-cons and 2 or 3 wks is going to yield some decisive event!)

But that was pre 9-11 thinking. 9-11 changed EVERYTHING. Nice to see ya back, divageek.
