The fastest way is to look at the thread starters statistic page, unless they created more than 500 threads, the numbers show up there when you look at “all threads started by”, at least for the most recent 500 threads.
(and yes, some people have started more than 500 threads here)
The other method is to use a search. Both require you to wait 120 seconds before you can do it again. Which is a pain in the ass.
It reminds me of those bullshit mock-outrages about “wacky laws”, like “Did you know in Montgomery, Alabama, it is illegal to hitch an alligator to a fire hydrant on a Sunday between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.?!”
On examintion, if anyone bothers to do it, the city ordnance in question typically bans the hitching of any animal at any time to a fire hydrant, in reasonable response to people who were tying their dog leashes to hydrants, thus creating a potential hazard to firefighters responding to an emergency who can’t safely approach the hydrant because there’s a dog who is agitated by all the activity tethered to it. The law didn’t limit the regulation to dogs or specify time limits so while it is true that hitching an alligator on a Sunday afternoon is in violation, such specificity was never in the text.
FYI, since the subject arose, if you use the “view all threads created by” on somebodies profile page, that counts as a search. So when you click on the number of posts, to see who posted, it gives you the hated 120 second wait shit.
Bumping a thread to the front page means you can just click on a thread to see who posted. Not that anyone gives a shit.
The Republicans under GW Bush invaded Iraq, then disbanded the Iraq army. This led to carnage all over the area, culminating with the formation of ISIS.
These are the facts.
Whether Bush did it because:
he believed there were WMDs in Iraq
he wanted to overthrow Saddam (who had plotted to kill his father)
he wanted to secure the supply of oil from the region
his advisers wanted to make money through their companies (e.g. Cheney at Halliburton)
