@Mott-The-Hoople saidThe judge is coming under heat also, all through the trial he did everything he could to help the prosecutor, people watching it said he may as well have sat at the prosecutor's table, while doing everything he could to hurt the defense and deny all their motions and objections. Clearly biased, judge was even a Dem party contributor, he should have recused himself.
This just shows the dishonest liberal democrat courts.
The prosecuter is now under investigation for fraud herself

@wildgrass saidThen again, stereotypes exist for a reason.
It seems like you're admitting that it's a mistake to make broad generalizations.
@shavixmir saidI'm here all week - don't forget to tip your waiters! 😆
You think the monkey spanked loads of wasted DNA in socks, on this site, are going to get your drift?
Damn, you are an optimist!
@wildgrass saidI dont do that. I refer to Islamic extremists. They are the dangerous ones. But Islam on the whole, becuase the Quran supports extremism, they are likely to suddently become extremists, and do crazy stuff.

@moonbus saidExcept he wanted Iraq attacked so that he could rebuild a Libertarian dreamland from the ashes. That's why we went after Iraq instead of immediately going after bin Laden in Afghanistan. We see how that turned out. When it didn't work, it was abandoned.
Rumsfeld himself was quoted saying 'we're not in the business of nation building.' Pfui. It was a blunder to have gone there in the first place, cost much blood and treasure and accomplished nothing. George W. Bush's ugly legacy. They should have just taken out Osama Bin Laden with a covert Navy seal operation and been done with it.
@Suzianne saidBe that as it may, Dick Cheney had his own private agenda in Iraq. Cheney was on the board of Haliburton; Haliburton was 'awarded' a huge contract to drill oil in Iraq, once Saddam was removed. Conflict of interest, much.

@moonbus saidBeing 'the world's policeman' is not a thing Americans really want to do. Presidents and scheming bureaucrats like Rumsfeld have to work pretty hard to get Congress and The People to go along. The American people anymore are like, 'Defending democracy overseas? OK, cool. Just airstrikes, though, right? RIGHT?!?' 😆
Rumsfeld and Cheney were pursuing an ideology at the time, penned by Paul Wolfowitz, which held that, after the collapse of the USSR, America, as the only superpower, could enforce its vision of the world on the world without triggering a nuclear response from the USSR. It failed, at huge cost. Trump, on the other hand, is pursuing the maximisation of his own financial gain, ...[text shortened]... nada. Time will tell, which policy contributed more to the ultimate failure of pax Americana.
Americans don't have a 'vision of the world' beyond: a) y'all need to put ice in drinks, and b) why don't you have air conditioning?
The reaction to the collapse of the USSR in America was 'Cool! Now we can be friends!' Then Putin went and messed it up. 😆
@spruce112358 saidAmericans could have warmed to Boris Yeltsin.

Bush Sr. summed up Putin accurately: dyed-in-the-wool KGB.
@moonbus saidYes. Why do you think he went along with Rumsfeld? They were two peas in a pod.
