I'd enjoy seeing what you might put together, Wrabbit. And I'll say it's such a truly sad and clouded issue.
Yeah, clouded... That is a good way of putting it. Just chasing down the quote relating to Israel..which was actually a quote of a quote back to Khomeini..not Ahmadinejad's original words as it turns out...is just an epic effort to get to. I'm putting a thread together but it's taking more time than I thought. The propaganda from all sides is so deep it takes forever to trace back even the simple things to an absolute first source or reliable one, anyway.
I'll tell ya though, there are no good guys on either or any side of this fur ball looking to happen out there. That hasn't taken long to realize at least.
We need another couple retired Commanding General level officers in the White House. America has done quite well with several retired vets as President with that level of judgement in the past. I imagine they wouldn't be half as quick to throw our military into war after mini-war into regional war. We haven't had one in ... well.. Heck, I guess H.W. Bush was a legitimate combat proven man...but thats it going back to.. Kennedy? Even there, both of them were standard tour serviceman. Eisenhower would be the last one.
