A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

Or, in the words of the Nobel Peace Prize committe, "decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development."

Is that the same Nobel Committee that gave babykilling genocidal mass murdering terrorist subhuman scum Arafat the same award?

Criticisizing the current president is an old tradition. Hoover called Roosevelt a fascist for his New Deal programs. Teddy Roosevelt had choice words for everyone who came after him. Martin van Buren made a career out of harrassing his successors.

Just because Clinton shows restraint and behaves like a gentleman, doesn't mean all the other ex-Presidents are going to live up to his standards.

Don't you think Ford and Bush I have shown more restraint than Clinton?.

From what I remember Bush I refused to say anything during Clinton's terms.

To be fair to Clinton, expecting him to keep his mouth shut is expecting a lot because he is still in the game because he can get back into the White House through his wife. Considering that is the case, I think he has shown remarkable restraint, but Bush I and Ford showed or are showing even more restraint. Don't you agree?

Is Rudi Bahktiar muslim? I know she is persian. I believe that I have read salacious internet gossip that she is more sexually liberated than the average muslim, but I will try to do more first hand research to confirm.

Doubtful. Spanky talks politics, not pubes.

Wasn't she going to try and make at least one post on this board that was not related to anything I have said? It seems, if I didn't post here, she would have no reason to be here.

President Bush likely just turned my Tuesday funding into a Wednesday funding, which probably will mean an earlier beginning to the long weekend for me (after an incredibly long last work week of the year). If this is the case, I will retroactively take back one bad thing (of my choosing) that I've ever said about him. Though really the debt of gratitude should be shared with Ford for the whole dying thing.

Did you read on LGF today that declassified documents show we know Arafat ordered the murder of US diplomats in the 70s? Then Carter negotiated with him? NWTF?

Did I ever say that? One more delusional insane rant in 2006? That is all I request.

Do you think Barbara Bush Sr. has given it up for Clinton or is it more like a mother (or in Clinton's case sober mother) son relationship?

eta: I meant Bill Clinton, although I am sure Hillary wouldn't mind getting some of that granny action, iykwimaittyad.

Did you hear that Mao ordered the murder of various US nationals (missionaries and, IIRC, at least a few government employees) in the closing days of the Commie takeover of China? And gave the order sending the Peoples Liberation Army across the Yalu River to kill thousands of US troops in 1950? Then Nixon negotiated with him? NWTF?

Professor Terguson:
"You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China?
Then take the fucking wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the fucking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? Say it! Say it!"

Thornton Melon:
"All right. I'll say it. 'Cause Truman was too much of a pussywimp to let MacArthur go in there and blow out those Commie bastards!"

Professor Terguson:
"Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think. I'm gonna be watching you."

Because the scenario that I proposed -- where you only think that a prisoner may have information, where you recognize that your intelligence about terrorists has repeatedly been proven faulty, and where many of the people you have taken into custody have been reported by neighbors bearing grudges -- is a lot closer to reality than the situation you proposed -- where you absolutely know that there is a ticking time bomb, and you absolutely know that the prisoner you want to torture can tell you where that time bomb is, before it explodes.

As for the rest of your post -- you once again confuse length and bile with substance. I give it the response it deserves, below.

If not, then that little tiff the USSR had in Afghanistan would be... what?

I should note that I may have been misled as an impressionable youth about Mao putting out contracts on kindly nuns and affable Methodists in 1949. But he damn sure did send those godless heathen PLA bastards out of Manchuria and into Korea to kill GI Joe. And yet Dick and Hank drank tea with him?
