Did they have an alternative plan?


Yes.

What was it? Did it involve trusting Sadaam?

[ QUOTE ]
No. In fact, since they weren't buying any oil it would be hard to buy "more". Also remember it was the former Republican admin that sold him weapons.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which admin sat bye and allowed him to sell oil in the 90s?

[ QUOTE ]
Probably the best explanation, that, and a bunch of lies from the administration.

[/ QUOTE ]

Which lies would those be? Being mistaken is not a lie. It is unfornate that intelligence was neglected in the 90s so the current admin acted on flawed info.

Could you restate this in English, please? I don't think reports on the news kills anyone, but I really don't know what the hell you are saying.

Currently there are just over 2k service men and women dead in Iraq. Would the rate if their dying increase or decrease if instead of reporting the 2k number everday report the number of bad guys they kill. What is the US to bad kill ratio 1:1 2:1 3:1? (It was reported as 10:1 but that was using a shorter period of time for the bad guys dead). DO you think the US media coverage of this is inspiring the rest of the world to believe the US will give up?

[ QUOTE ]
No on both questions. At least I think. Two totally unrelated questions joined with the word "or". The word "only" in there kind of confuses me. Are you saying that you get joy from US loss of life also?

Let me see it I understand you correctly. You believe that the media reporting over and over the number of US dead without reporting the number of enemy dead does not serve to motivate the enemy. And you believe the Democrats are not enjoying see dead US soldiers?

I am sure the Democrats realize their only chance of winning relies on a bad result in Iraq; is seems natural that the Democrats would have a natural ally in the terroists attacking US soldiers.

How many American deaths woudl be unaccpetable to the Democrats in excahnge for the White House? What do the Democrats believe in other than turning America against itself?

Since the Democrats like to claim their administration did a better job of running the country in the 90s please list the legislative initiatives that the administration introduced that were passed into law and which ones were not passed into law. Also take a look at which policies the COngress introduced and which ones were passed into law. I was in college and grad school at the time so maybe I missed something but this is I how remember the 90s. Clinton won the election in 92 and attempted to implement his social reform he ran on (socialized medicine is the main thing I remember). The American public rejected this and there was an out pouring in the 94 midterm election to put Republicans into Congress. Clinton rebounded by dropping his social reforms and signing the legislation passed by the Republican Congress and was reelected in 1996 as Americans were happy wiht the direction the country was taking. After that I started playing more poker etc, so I know little of what happened in Clinton's second term. I remember seeing a lot of partisan bickering on TV, but I was too busy playign poker to pay much attention to it. If there was a major event I left out in the 90s please enlighten me.
