It was a little sinister trick she chose to use to discredit Rice.

And at the moment of the discussion it was directed at Rice.<br /><br />It sure seems to me it was an attack on her abilities. If Boxer believes she has nothing at stake and so is not in a position to make decisions about a war, then she really ought to get her butt out of politics. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-70616031153773056032007-01-17T16:58:00.000-08:002007-01-17T16:58:00.000-08:00Now Now Trisha......

Boxer just ticked me off. Who the heck is she to say such a thing to anyone? Is it now only those of us who have loved ones serving in the military capable of having a valid opinion on a war? <br /><br />Ludicrous and she was obviously making a personal attack instead of sticking to the point. grrrrrr.<br /><br />:)<br />Trisha<br />oxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-15067512971903607332007-01-17T08:01:00.000-08:002007-01-17T08:01:00.000-08:00I still think that Islamic craziness needs to get ...I still think that Islamic craziness needs to get confronted over there and not just cried over back here.

In other words, the patience of Americans are so much shorter than that in other countries. For example, we have quick solutions for everything. We jump for one line to the next in the super market so we can get out 2 min faster, we swich lanes back and forth for the same reasons. Then you have Bin Laden who meticulously plans and waits for years to see his plans come through. In Iraq, we've been there only several years and 80% of the American people are against it, meaning that probably 60% of them were for the war several years back.Mercy Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460657808114487254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-42087770945143572892007-01-16T19:57:00.000-08:002007-01-16T19:57:00.000-08:00Excellent subject and interesting points Gino.
No...Excellent subject and interesting points Gino.<br /><br />Not bad for an Italian kid...:o)<br /><br />How can the left/right suggest intervening is morally acceptable in one situation while intervening in another is morally unacceptable?<br /><br /><br />And here in lies the problem with American and indeed western foreign policy. It suffers from a multiple-personality disorder. If you know what I mean. <br /><br />Some Russian dude who liked pounding podiums with his shoe suggested America would self-destruct from the inside. And he seems to have not been too far off the mark.<br /><br />"Who pays the price?" you ask.<br />I suggest to you it is the average working gino/gina of America (and every other country for that matter) who pay the price.<br />With VERY FEW exceptions, the wealthy, the politically connected and powerful have never paid the price and never will.<br />Indeed they will profit whether America is rising or falling.<br />That is the nature of the food chain and the human condition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
