LOL! 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 ...[text shortened]... e should clean up our own backyard before we invade our neighbors and try to clean up theirs?
BTW - As to WMD - The best quip I heard about that just before the invasion of Iraq : "GW knows Hussein has WMD's because his dad kept all of the sales receipts ."
Originally posted by Moldy CrowIt's depressing that Americans were already exchanging witty quips when therestoftheworld was still engaged in a collective gape of shock and awe. How very out of touch I suddenly feel.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageYou think you're depressed ? You don't have to live in an assylum that the lunatics are running . For some of us , if we didn't have such gallow's humor , god only knows how we'd be able to manage .

Originally posted by Moldy CrowYou're dead right actually! In fact the reverse situation sometimes happens here--people aim their smug grimaces at the USA and in their PC humourlessness forget just how backward we are in some things.

Yep. The word "might" is used a lot.
The preface encourages us to believe that Saddam had to be taken out because otherwise he would have started making deadly weapons as soon as the world's back was turned. Why, though, would the world have turned its back?
(The comparison with Hitler is disingenuous. Was Hitler subject to crippling sanctions? Had Hitler's forces been annihilated in a recent war?
But, whatever. I've read the article, so I'm ready to listen to what you have to say about it, Zeeblebot.

Instead of reading right-wing claptrap like that, read John Pilger's: "The rulers of the new world".
In it he exposes this very group, using their own documentation.
The only reason why America might know that there were WMD in the first place is because they still have the receipts when they sold them to Iraq in order to have an attacker to Iran.
But come on ! They found no I repeat NO evidence that there were, are or will be any WMD´s. Even the magnificient idea with the mobile factories on trucks turned out to be a hoax started by the US government.
They can read your parking slip in your car window from the orbit.
They would have seen the trucks for sure.

Well that's certainly frightening. You're always a fresh, cool breeze bearing good news aren't ya Marauder? Sort of like opening the windows to a lovely spring morn...
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".
M80 they are thinking about.

What possible vested interest could these gentlemen have? Very puzzling...
(It's rather similar to the way the Scots have taken over England! 😉 )
And the press rattles on about the Christian right. Seems you might have another tree to bark up. How many Yankee dollars are sped over to Israel each year these days? Do the American people really back up this idea, or do they not realise they're being taken for a serious ride?
