Well I dunno, he gave Saddam the ability to make chemical weapons... I can't remember the specifics exactly, but either Saddam got chemicals from UK and the plant design and parts from US or visa versa... regardless Reagan helped arm Saddam with WMDs. AND when he gassed the Kurds in 1983 and then the Iranians in 1988 neither he nor VP GHW Bush said squat !! I didn't hear anything from Thatcher either !

So I don't see a lot of difference.

Well, it's getting a bit vague in my memory now but if you can recall our discussion a few years ago over Iraq it went along the lines of my blaming Blair and you pointing out that a mad person can't be held responsible for his actions. It was subsequently revealed by Dr Owen who was a a former foreign secretary within Blair's inner circle but who happened also to be a psychiatrist that during a series of foreign policy meetings he had conducted a psychoanalysis of Blair and concluded that he was in fact mad. So he wrote a book about that with the message that mad persons rising to positions of power or influence pose a serious threat to the survival of democracy as a political system and named certain other politicians who exhibited the same symptoms of hubris syndrome that he had seen in Blair.

News coming in that Russia and US have reached a deal !!

Hope it lasts and is completely fulfilled !!

NOW what will Fsck News say ??

Kinda hard to slam him for making deals with Russia since they've been praising Putin ALL week !!

Yeah I should be above gloating. For one, gloating is petty. For two, it may all fall apart in the end. Praying it doesn't.

Thank Gawd that's out of the way. Now we can get back to repealing the AFA and proving that Obama was born on Jupiter.

Nah, McCain and Graham are already calling the agreement meaningless. Hopefully that will lead to people realizing the GOP really isn't representing their interests. WHFO.

I thought he was born on Mars and Michelle was born on Venus

Exactly... McCain is itching for a new war now we're out of Iraq (mostly). He's a dangerous war maniac. Graham is just being Graham... or maybe he has the McCain virus. WHY the people of AZ keep re-electing McCain is beyond me... so he's a war vet ( very senile one, but a vet)... you don't have any other better ones in your whole dammed state ?? He's the BEST you got ?? PATH- ETIC !!

You know when Obama and McCain were the last two standing in 2008 I believed I could live McCain as pres because he seemed like a calm centrist (not allowing people to disparage Obama etc) but he his gotten scarier and more erratic or at least shown his true colors. Even strong conservatives I know have written him off.
