I don't think it's particularly funny how Kennedy dealt with Cuba. From formulating plans to assassinate Castro to the disastrous Bay of Pigs, Kennedy was totally wrong in his handling of Cuba. The only thing he did right was his handling of the Missile Crisis. I guess your point is - since Kennedy, a Democrat did it, it makes it OK for Bush, a Republican to do it, right? |

Just is just another example showing how completely stupid and desperate to troll you really are, Weil. Since you've shown once again that you can't put two and two together to get anything like four; my point is that neither Republican nor Democrat administrations have a very good track record in this area. Posturing fools like you and Sanders tend to distract people from this simple fact. |

Jupiter's removed and no invasion of Cuba. Of course they did. It's called states/brinksmanship. What's wrong with the Soviets wanting those missiles removed anyway (especially if we didn't want missiles in Cuba either)? Are *we* the only ones who have the absolute right to put missiles wherever we want? You forget that there *was* an invasion of Cuba. Just a totally botched one. Plus, there wasn't a specific UN resolution that was being used as justification for action either. More Weil logic. If you insist. |

![]() "Sandman" wrote in message ... http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11cover-up10pg As usual, the RAO a-holes can't read worth ****. The link in the introduction talks about a plot among the Joint Chiefs of Staff to invade Cuba, and Kennedy's opposition to committing American forces to it. This plot, by the way, originated with Nixon during the Eisenhower administration, and Kennedy inherited the problem. He was lied to by the CIA and the Joint Chiefs about an invasion force of exiled Cubans being able to successfully invade Cuba and overthrow Castro on their own, then at the last moment Kennedy was suddenly pressured to provide Air Force cover, which he refused to do out of principle. And when the CIA/Joint Chiefs' operation in the Bay of Pigs went badly, they lied to the Cuban exiles and blamed it all on Kennedy (falsely claiming Kennedy had promised air cover, then reneged on the promise). Kennedy distinguished himself by publicly taking responsibility for the problem, even though it wasn't his fault (following Truman's "the buck stops here" adage), unlike the current cretin occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who refuses to take responsibility for anything (all of which is his fault). The link I provided is not about Kennedy, despite one introductory link to a Joint Chiefs' plot to assassinate Castro. It is about what led up to 9/11. Of course, the RAO a-holes couldn't be bothered discussing any of that. Perhaps they're afraid they might actually have to *learn* something for a change. Pathetic. |

"Sandman" wrote in message ... http://www.wanttoknow.info/9-11cover-up10pg As usual, the RAO a-holes can't read worth ****. If this were really true, you'd point out some errors in how your piece was read Sanders, but you didn't. Instead, you launch into a discussion of the history of the time. Nice job of presenting a thesis and then presenting support for a different thesis. The link in the introduction talks about a plot among the Joint Chiefs of Staff to invade Cuba, and Kennedy's opposition to committing American forces to it. Which is a nice synopsis of what I said. Thus Sanders, you've disproved your claim that I can't read. Kennedy distinguished himself by publicly taking responsibility for the problem, even though it wasn't his fault (following Truman's "the buck stops here" adage), Sanders doesn't get the fact that Truman's "The buck stops here" means that as the most powerful executive in the government, whatever happens on his watch is in some sense, his fault. unlike the current cretin occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who refuses to take responsibility for anything I don't see where Bush is doing anything that Kennedy did in this regard, and vice-versa. The Bay of Pigs took place on Kennedy's watch, and he took responsibility for it. The invasion of Iraq took place on Bush's watch and Bush is taking responsibility for it. Militarily, the Bay of Pigs was an abject failure. Militarily speaking, the downing of Saddam Hussein was a military success. I don't see where Kennedy took responsibility for *any* the intelligence failures that led up to the Bay of Pigs. No matter how hard some people posture, we should remember that WMD was just one of several justifications for downing Hussein. (all of which is his fault). Horsefeathers. The link I provided is not about Kennedy, despite one introductory link to a Joint Chiefs' plot to assassinate Castro. It is about what led up to 9/11. That would be 8 years of Clintonian weasel-politics. Of course, the RAO a-holes couldn't be bothered discussing any of that. Perhaps they're afraid they might actually have to *learn* something for a change. Sanders, it looks to me like I gave you a good lesson in looking at the footnotes and references in a document that you praise. The question now is, did you learn anything from my lesson for you? |

Pathetic is the Democrat assholes trying to make people beleive that the U.S. is the only country who had reason to belive that Saddam had WMD's. They want us to believe that we acted to grab the oil, or that there was pressure brought to make things seem worse than the intelligence showed them to be. In short it leftist's lying again because they resent people that actually have principles. Recent exit polling shows that for Democrats beating Dubya is more important than agreeing with a particular candidates views. In other words blind hatred over principle. Again. |

The burden of proof is on those who insist that Bush had credible information on terrorist threats or that he applied pressure on the CIA to come up with things in order to sell the idea of war with Iraq. The simple facts are you have no such proof and that the UN itself was convinced of the threat from Saddam. First blame the administration for not connectin the dots. Next blame the administration for connecting the dots. |

Problem is, I'm not all that comfortable with an administration either wingin' it or making it up after the fact. For a "libertarian", you sure have a blind eye regarding the Republicans. I think that you should start reevaluating how you lable yourself, as you've been spouting the Republican partly line virtually every time you post. |

I almost never agree with the Democrats. Given their way they would create havoc every chance they get in the name of "protecting" us. The GOP is at least relatively constant in their philosophy. I think a large part of the anti-Bush sentiment is because the Dems have lost control of the power they used to weild for so long. My bottom line with the left is that they don't want it to be possible for people to not need their help. |

Two State of the Union speeches have come and gone now with absolutely *no* mention of him. The truth is, our Commander in Thief chickened out in December, 2001 during the Tora Bora mountain mission, when they had Bin Laden cornered in a cave tunnel, and rather than send our troops in, he sent in a bunch of rag-tag locals who let Bin Laden get away. Next thing you know, Bush is trying to distract us all from that act of cowardice by talking about an "axis of evil" which has nothing to do with Bin Laden or 9/11. Meanwhile, al queda grows in numbers as a result of Dubya's Iraq diversion, and the *wrong* man (Hussein, who posed absolutely *no* threat to us, and had absolutely *nothing* to do with 9/11) is in captivity. And guess what - our tax money which should be protecting our borders, our ports, and strengthening and equipping police and firefighters on the front lines around our country has gone into the pockets of Dubya's fatcat donors, as our soldiers and guardsmen continue to be sitting targets for the terrorists BU**SH** attracted to Iraq. |

The time, effort and blood should have been spent to attack the *real* perp of 9/11 - bin Laden. That changes nothing about the correctness of removing Saddam. It was the right thing to do given the intel. It is possible to do two things at once. Osama will be found and there's no need to send a force such as the one deployed in Iraq to find one guy. Exactly. What happened to Osama Bin Forgotten? Two State of the Union speeches have come and gone now with absolutely *no* mention of him. I heard news reports in the last 2 weeks that say he'll likely be caught before the end of the year. The truth is, our Commander in Thief chickened out in December, 2001 during the Tora Bora mountain mission, when they had Bin Laden cornered in a cave tunnel, and rather than send our troops in, he sent in a bunch of rag-tag locals who let Bin Laden get away. Next thing you know, Bush is trying to distract us all from that act of cowardice by talking about an "axis of evil" which has nothing to do with Bin Laden or 9/11. I don't recall all the details of that incident but cowardice is hardly the correct word. Bush's stock would have gone through the roof if Bin Ladin had been caught. Meanwhile, al queda grows in numbers as a result of Dubya's Iraq diversion, More correctly they are being killed or captured in larger numbers. Imagine what would have happened if we had done nothing. and the *wrong* man (Hussein, who posed absolutely *no* threat to us, and had absolutely *nothing* to do with 9/11) is in captivity. And millions of Iraqi's are better off. Where was your outrage when Clinton sent troops to Bosnia, a country that was no threat to us. He said they'd be back in a year. How about Haiti? No threat, no outrage. Is it only wrong when a Republican goes to war? And guess what - our tax money which should be protecting our borders, our ports, and strengthening and equipping police and firefighters on the front lines around our country has gone into the pockets of Dubya's fatcat donors, So, you're saying they should be going to the fatcat donors from the Democrats? as our soldiers and guardsmen continue to be sitting targets for the terrorists BU**SH** attracted to Iraq. And the overwhelming majority of the troops support Bush and hated Clinton's guts. The only real cuts in spending Clinton made were in the military budget. |

I think that would make you ill-informed or stupid. That seems to be what you're claiming. Problem is, I'm not all that comfortable with an administration either wingin' it or making it up after the fact. For a "libertarian", you sure have a blind eye regarding the Republicans. I think that you should start reevaluating how you lable yourself, as you've been spouting the Republican partly line virtually every time you post. I don't always agree with the Libertarians. I almost never agree with the Democrats. Given their way they would create havoc every chance they get in the name of "protecting" us. The GOP is at least relatively constant in their philosophy. I think a large part of the anti-Bush sentiment is because the Dems have lost control of the power they used to weild for so long. Bottom line is - the White House, up until Bush the latter, has been equally occupied by both parties since 1961. My bottom line with the left is that they don't want it to be possible for people to not need their help. Baseless bull****, of course. |

Remember, this is Jim Sanders speaking. Yup, the same guy whose political contributions show up on lots of web sites, but he can't be bothered to tell us their URLs. |

If Bush lied then so did Clinton (sort of a redundancy, I know) about WMD's as well. So did the UN and so did France, Germany and a host of other countries. Finding a needle in a haystack is tough also. |

All the programs the Dems love are those that take away from earners and give to the lowest earners or non-earners. Their whole premise is that somehow it wrong for some to have more than others. |

Are *we* the only ones who have the absolute right to put missiles wherever we want? You forget that there *was* an invasion of Cuba. Just a totally botched one. I found an interesting website by a person that took part in the installation of Jupiter missiles in Turkey in 1961. He has some great color photos of the event. This is one of the events that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis less than a year later.

Considering how much of a potential threat to the world we are, I suggest they start bombing us flat tommorrow in order to save humanity.
