With friends like these… **Milroy** , shut up. Please. I had good points and you are sabotaging them with this bullshit Clinton highjack. And it _is_ a Clinton highjack. You say you don’t blame him, but you keep saying AFP is 8/10 Clinton. Drop it. Shut up. It would help me immensely. ---

> [@](#): > > I didn’t do that. I pointed out that people are blaming AFP for the attacks, and he was responsible for 80% of said AFP. Next time please be a little more clear, it looked like another of your Clinton snipes ([examples](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?action=showresults&searchid=190702&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending).) In fact, it looks so much like them i can’t tell the difference. Go figure! There was a Republican controlled Congress for most of the time too, but nobody is bringing that up… ---

Sounds like a duty of the Executive Branch, to me. ---

I was unaware that Clinton had magical powers that bypassed the checks and balances from the other two branches. You might want to read [this](http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itps/0300/ijpe/pj51bide.htm) if the concept of other branches of the government doing things confuses you. ---

It’s official, the train is off the rails. Grab your children! ---

In a last ditch effort to save this runaway train I want to say that I’m a left leaning moderate and I _still_ think Mr. Iyer is an asshole. His points were flawed and his timing could not have been worse. He told us to be humble because we were victims of 9-11 and he said that if we changed our ways we could prevent another attack. He wants to appease the terrorists. He’s an ass with no concept of history. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Beeblebrox \* > \*\*That’s just because your brain is too damn small to process the fact that I don’t think in terms of black and white.

Well, **Giraffe** , we’re in reasonable agreement on the hazards of attacking Iraq and on the Bush Administration’s poor effort in rallying international support for it. But none of that, I think, justifies conjuring up hobgoblins in the international press regarding the Administration’s motives. If you don’t think there are sufficient facts on record, say so - don’t make things up to fill the vacuum. ---

Thanks for laugh, **Tars!** 😃 No really, that was truly funny. 😃 Your “cite” regarding the different branches of government In Re foreign policy is a link to an opinion piece by Joe Biden? Joe Biden? 😃 😃 😃 BTW, isn’t this the sort of thing y’all jump all over **December** for, citing opinions as facts? Balderrot! Tommydash!
