Originally posted by zeeblebotLOL! Oh my! Well I read their "Statement of Principals" and damn near passed out. Who the hell are these people to impose "American principals" on any other country? This is nonsense. The writers of this thing aren't Republicans, they're a bunch of arrogant, busy bodies that feel they have the right to impose their principals on other countries and cultures. Real Republicans, Democrats, and certainly Libertarians would be ashamed to be associated with this type of agenda.
the next time someone tells you the Coalition was not justified in invading Iraq, point them to this link, a 108-page rebuttal:

Maybe we should clean up our own backyard before we invade our neighbors and try to clean up theirs?

Why is it every time I hear the names Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld the word "invasion" appears somewhere nearby?
And those two guys should never be involved in anything called a "think tank".

There's only one point in there I can agree with:

"ESTABLISH FOUR CORE MISSIONS for U.S. military forces:
* defend the American homeland;
* fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars;
* perform the "constabulary" duties associated with shaping the security environment incritical regions;
* transform U.S. forces to exploit the “revolution in military affairs;"
Who the hell votes for these wack jobs? They WANT war! They NEED war. It's part of their strategy for controlling the damn world.
It's hard to believe the people that wrote that are Americans. My God we're regressing under the leadership and advice of these morons.
The whole document is frightening. If anyone else wants to read it, here it is.

Originally posted by no1marauderI don't think they can do anything more than taunt Iran, if they attack oil prices will soar above $100 a barrel, that will ruin the stock market as well as economies worldwide, such as China, India, and the U.S. itself. And if China gets pissed... well, use your imaginations...

Originally posted by abejnoodZimbabwe is currently having a little problem with oil. Nobody trusts its government with money anymore, so there is no petrol at the moment: none. Some people walk up to 25km to work...Still, life--and business--continues. One man is doing very good business selling bicycles to firms who want to help their employees get to work. The bicycles are manufactured in Iran...
