Cheney: Congress undermining U.S. troops

[George Gervin's Afro]

^^Isn't it nice you have someone you can count on?

Ray if anything your consistent and I respect that. Of course in your case you consistently wrong..

[smeagol]

Hey twerp, what is so wrong for fighting for "own self
interest"? What better reason to fight.

So you mean "(a) There is oil in country A, (b) We need oil ===> (c) Let's invade country A"

I worry about now and the short future, like my kids and grand kids. And my own self-interest.

I'm not convinced you do given your anti-environment stance.

We did not have a mind to make VN a colony of the
United States, nor do we plan on having Iraq as a
colony of the U.S. We have never colonized any country,

The Philippines. For a load of time.

but I am sure according you your recollection of history
we are nothing but exploiters of other countries.

I wouldn't go as far. But I would say your country does a ty job in leveling the playing field when it comes to international commerce.

you should use your head for something other than
a hat rack and thing about the fact we have never
kept any territory won thru warfare.

Almost true (the Philippines again). And you've kept military bases almost everywhere too.

Oh, for your information, we are involved in a world wide
war at this time.

Don't try to justify Iraq: It's un ingjustifiable.

We are fighting the terrorist in many countries, maybe not openly, but troops are in several countries and operations are on going in several parts of the world. Not just Iraq and Afghanistan.

Huh? Are you guys in Argentina too?

Hawaii

Hawaii

We invaded Hawaii? I didn't know that. Oh and by the
way it is a state, you know.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, it was one of the original states whose indigenous Anglo-Saxon population actually ratified the cons ution before Delaware. Nobody found out until 1959 because the bottle they put the message in didn't float to Washington DC until then.

We didn't invade; we only threatened to invade. There was a battleship sitting off the coast while American business interests overthrew the monarchy.

[cheguevara]

I knew Hawaiians hate the US for a reason

I forgot htat Hawaii was one of the 13th colonies. Thank you for the reminder.

Puerto Rico would beg to differ. They've waited 109 years at last count for sovereignty after we annexed them, post Spanish-American war.

Puerto Rico does not need sovereignty.

They're a cluster of a country.

<cough> Iraq <cough>

PR can vote themselves sovereignty any time they feel like it; they seem to prefer commonwealth status.

Actually, what they really want is to have the voting rights of a state without having to pay income tax, but that's not going to happen.

Oh, I forgot, the USA has always been a nasty, nasty
country that takes advantage of all the world, has never
done anything to help anyone and only wants to exploit,
pollute and generally take all the resources of the world.

Gee, how could I have ever been so short sighted.

Therefore, we should always surrender our interest
never protect our citizens and generally disregard any
of our concerns.

Can I now be considered a good dimm-o-crap or just
call me French.
