my friend and worthy opponent, i never thought for one moment you were accussing me of lying. those of us that do not not know the meaning of some words, use the copy and paste to the dictionary technique, so as to appear smarter then we are.

as far as some of my sources, i find them here and there and use them when i believe they will either prove my point or raise the blood presure of some right wing folks, whose BP is easily raised.

for example:

george w bush will long be remembered as the grinch who stole america by folks with IQ's in triple digits and the second coming of reagan by those with IQ's low enough to fail the mcdonald, can you tell from this picture whether you are ringing in a big mac or fries.

who am i starting to sound like? I have heard a few people say they think im someone else and it is starting to annoy me. This is the first name I have joined this forum with and have only been visiting the forum since the end of november.

Rick, I confess, I had to go look up the word to ensure I hadn't misspoken before I responded 🙂 My BP is fairly stable, thank you LOL As to another of your predictions, Iran is a likely candidate, but if W. thinks (as I do) that N. Korea is a more urgent threat, the NK's have no oil reserves. If He decides to work on one part of the world at a time, there are alot of Al Quada and Taliban honchos that are believed to have fled to Iran. Considering that we have them almost surrounded to the east, west, and have miles of coastline we could invade, you'ld think they would be more circumspect. In an overview of the whole situation, Putin, the President of Russia said in the aftermath of 9-11 that Russia had no knowledge of the attack and believed that it warranted the MOST VIGOUS RESPONSE (emphasis mine) This from the leader of a country which has been known on several occaisions to shoot down airliners for simply straying over thier airspace. Many world leaders seem to have figured that since we didn't immediately nuke somebody over the attack, we should just forget about it. Iraq had a military camp south of Baghdad where there was a derilict airliner fusalage that was purportedly used for training personnel in aircraft takeover techniques. It may have been used for anti-terrorism training, but former Iraqi military personnel have been quoted as saying that the people being trained there were not Iraqi, and were kept separate from the regular military personnel. And yet we quibble over the fact we can't find a picture of Saddam signing any formal agreement with Bin Laden. We carp because we haven't found warheads laden with nerve gas, even though there have been countless reports of "precursors" of nerve gas found, but the same ingredients can also be used to make insecticide. I think the Bush administration has shown amazing restraint in dealing with many of the counties that have been known to harbor terrorists. I think the fight will go on for years (gee, that's what W. told us before the end of 2001!) Predicting that we will go to war with someone who has massive oil reserves is almost a no-brainer, but there IS that NK option. Why make it sound like the oil is the reason?

You mean we would not go to war to save an avocado or grapefruit growing nation? LOL

We saved France in WWII and they do not do have oil!

Charlie

PS They are oily, but no real oil!

someone is trying to get your goat. don't let your goat get got.

it's a shame you don't live around the corner. you could stop over the house, pick a cigar and we could watch the hummers.

as far as "precursors" of nerve gas", when i was a kid i got a chemistry set as a christmas present. my family did not celebrate birthdays, because they were poor. would that set be a "precursors" of nerve gas?"

"I think the Bush administration has shown amazing restraint"

i can't help day dreaming about how much restraint they could have shown, had they not been in office.

Actually Rick, that sounds like it would be alot of fun!

Two or three chemicals when mixed in one set of proportions make insecticide, and in another set of proportions makes nerve gas. Check it out! The flea collar you put on your dog has the same ingredients as nerve gas. Whatever your intentions for the "precursors" it's much safer to keep them separate until ready for use. So why do we always seem to give the benefit of the doubt to Saddam, and not to Bush? In the immortal words of Dennis Miller-" In a comparison between Saddam Hussain, and George Bush, Bush is the good guy!"

My comment about restraint was in the context that I beleive many world leaders thought we would go stark, staring mad in the aftermath of 9-11, but we have shown ourselve to be relentless, but try to build a case for our actions. If some wont accept our case, oh well, we didn't ask for permission to defend ourselves.

Maybe we'll get to have a cigar and a few cold ones together sometime, I kinda doubt it, as we are on opposite ends of the country. Funny how if you look at a map, I'm on the far right, and you are on the far left. LMAO! Have a good one!

Ricks Quote, "it's a shame you don't live around the corner. you could stop over the house, pick a cigar and we could watch the hummers."

Herf at Ricks place,I'll bring a big pot or Posole(Pozole) and the tortillas...LOL

Rick,

Funny thing is though, I don't remember you telling us of your inability or restricted access to vote in 2000.I just remember you brining it up for the recall election.I'm not saying you didn't but I probably would have remembered... :0)

Yo JJ: I can't remember Rick saying that either, but you know if I had a dollar for everyone who voted for Gore or Nadar and then denied it after they lost I would be a millionaire. LOL JonR

Be nice JonR...LOL

I'm trying to organize a So Cal Herf here!We So Caler's seem to be slit down the middle and I figure Ricks place is as middle ground as we'll ever find...LOL (funny eh!)

My place may be neutral ground but I'm sure I'll never come off as neutral...:0)

I've herfed often with guys from other boards but for some reason these guys at c-bid are hard to scare up!

JJ

JonR

i don't deny that i wanted to vote for nadar.

sort of like voting no to the republicans and the democrats.

jjohnson28

i had no interest in the recall election, so the subject never came up.
