you make my head hurt.
it's not that black and white..
so no it wasn't... and then yes it was..
Well there are wars for oil and then wars for oil. I thought it was odd that you would use that formulation on the first war in the middle east that we've gotten into that "war for oil" has
not been a lefty talking point.
So to me, it was weird that you were saying it when I wasn't hearing it from Code Pinko or ANSWER. I suppose one could make a case that the Gulf War was a war for oil, and I don't think there is any case that Iraq was a war for oil, but the left claimed both of them were.
And Libya? At 2% of oil, I don't think this is a war for oil.
For us.
the same way fafa and I were both correct when we said
you know this.. why do you want to pretend otherwise just because the President has (D) after his name? Can you really not get over it already?
and you only accept words,thoughts,wars, and polices if they come from GOP members..
I think the article I gave and JBG's reply is pretty easy to understand, so nothing I can say now will make it an easier for you to decide to understand it.. how about pretending it's coming from Bush and Cheney, maybe that will make it easier for you to get?
It was easy to understand except when it came to explaining what was the US national security interest was. That
is my question after all. I get it that it was exciting to lead from behind the French and Arab League, but because you are seeking the approval of other's in
their national security interests doesn't make it
our national security interest. I mean, if we had no other wars or anything else going and just needed practice with operations and live fire, eh, maybe then.
But I've learned that when someone can't explain something to me and refers me to an article that doesn't respond to the question I'm asking, they probably don't know either and are just crushing on the person who got us into the war.
But if it makes you feel any better, since we've committed forces, it's in our national security interest
now. I think that's probably not something you would follow though, based on past history but now we're committed to this war and have to get rid of Gaddaffi (damn spelling) and make sure that a reasonably democratic government takes charge there.
I hope the President is up for it.
