What about the Chinese accountability Act? Sheesh, where does it end?
:rolleyes:
Wouldn’t surprise me if we learn that George expects them to meekly submit themselves before his grand Christian purity or somesuch.
Why in the world would need to invade Iran when Democracy is blooming all over in the Middle East?
It ends when countries start being satisfied with what they’ve got, and stop looking enviously at the assets of other countries. I do think, though, that the USA government should be held accountable by other countries for their actions in Iraq.
Lots of subtle things happening lately:
GE, Halliburton, ConocoPhillips pulling out of Iran
From South Africa:
Since when is Suez considered unsafe?
The stage is being set. “We warned them”

I can’t wait for the U.N. to suggest sanctions, we enact them, then decide that that’s not enough. Bombs away!
:rolleyes:
Damn her for that lack of clarity! We need to hear the president say “I have no war plans on my desk, which is the truth” before we can nail down the invasion date as mid march of 2006.
We are not going to war with Iran. Iran is a friend of ours. Iran has always been a firend of ours. We went to war with Iraq. Iraq has always been an enemy of ours.
The War on terrorism is Peace for all.
Have you been re-reading ‘1984’ by any chance?
Nope.
We may not “go to war” with them, but we certainly might bomb some shit over there and get away with it. We don’t like other countries that can build nukes.
Did you forget that we sold weapons that killed US soldiers to Iraq? We also did that when we financed Afghanistan while they were fighting the Russians.
So, Iran has always been a friend of ours, tell me about it, please. Then, tell Bush that he can’t make a political point by bullying Iran. I await your cogent evidence.
When my son is old enough to join the military, then that choice will be his (as an adult). Since when is Bush advocating a draft? Dickhead.
No need for a draft, I’d say, as long as the economy suffers enough that the most viable employment for youth is in the armed forces. The main dickhead in this situation is the one in the White House.
Of course there is no need for a draft. I was merely pointing out what I felt to be a very disingenuous and underhanded strawman of a debating technique. The main dickhead is the one who wrote the OP.
He’s a dickhead because you don’t agree with his politics, TLD? That’s your favourite term for someone who doesn’t like Bush and what he’s doing to the world?
Is it indeed?
No, he’s a dickhead for pitting GWB for something he hasn’t done. You guys would pit Dubya for helping an old lady across the street. Not sure how, but you’d find a way. Now kindly fuck off.
BTW, for the first taker, fifty Australian dollars says no mainstream US miliatary action in Iran for five years. You may pay me in February 2010.
A surmising of future actions based on what he’s done already? I’d say it was reasonable to assess future war moves by the President in this vein.
Get stuffed yourself, mate. When Bush was being unfairly criticised in some thread way back, I said so.
You seem to respond to something to which you don’t agree, with abuse. Why is that?
No-ooo.
{I’ll type slowly so you can understand}
I am responding to shitful debating practice, and also to utter bullshit on your part Ice Wolf. If you can see me routinely labelling liberal/left Dopers dickheads as some sort of “favourite term”, I challenge you to call up the cites. The fact that opposing political viewpoints exist does not bother me. When people start distorting the truth, then I am bothered.
And yes, I used “fuck off” in the BBQ Pit. Pretty cutting edge “abuse” that. HINT: I was being dismissive, not abusive. Substitute “oh go away” if you prefer. It’s all the same by me.
Sorry, I have seen you use the term “dickhead” before. Probably in that thread you can’t recall where the OP was disagreed with his his Bush-bashing by the majority of us liberals. If you consider that “utter bullshit”, there ain’t changin’ your mind, so I won’t try.
And I’ve seen you be dismissive before, and throw up the term “strawman”. God only knows why you love that word “strawman”. Especially used in this case. Anyway, I disagree with you. You’ll have to call me something else other than “dickhead” – that wouldn’t exactly fit my attire.
Oh, yeah. The “typing slowly”, bit? Been done before, too.
