Dead because of a lie. Dead because selfish people in government wanted a war and lied to get one. How can you not be angry?ADV: Precious Metals & Financial Market News: Protect Yourself By Staying Informed
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!
"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

Hmmm
chillyphantomI think he's on the way there now. To be honest, I don't think he has much choice. He's probably been told in no uncertain terms that his cute young kids will miss growing up without their daddy if he doesn't cooperate.
Do you really think so?
Liberal ProfessorI often wonder... did he know this all along, and they had it all worked out, and he knew how the dice were rolled?
Why else the art of vaguery in his campaign?
Or, did he really believe the platitudes? Does his history in a radical church with support for peace and Palestine stand as a real influence? Is he now caught up in something he dosn't want? Forced to be a you-know-what to you-know-who. Or did he use the church and his message to make his pragmatic ascent.
I still think he knew it all along.
The transition is too smooothe.
The characters are too familiar.
It has such an engineered feel!
