    The Bush administration is now doing specifically what the Iraq Study Group suggested with regard to speaking with Iran and Syria. Likewise the administration is now directly speaking with Korea.

    For the past 5 years they have been unwilling to do that.


    FLIP FLOP

    And they do it without even acknowledging their past mistakes.

    Source?

    If in fact there is any credibility to your claim, does that mean that you will flip/flop with democrats to be against it?

    After all, democrats claimed often that we needed more troops. When Bush finally gave them what they wanted, democrats (and you, for that matter) flip flopped and decided you were no longer for it.

    You can't make a democrat happy. All you can do is try to placate them, in which case you become like them; ever the eternal pacifier and waffle iron.

    If it's good, democrats take credit. If its bad, they blame someone else. If the good turns bad, they were never for it. If the bad turns good, they claim credit for making things right.

    Life would probably be much better for all if most of these people would simply put a bullet in their brains, or just keep quiet.:eek:

    I'm not actually a member of congress or the senate.

    Maybe you should try talking about the actual political issues instead of just wading in with your silly little jibes. Maybe you should stay in the general chat forum.

    Fox News is one of the reasons the world is in such a disaster mate.

    Illuminati (Murdoch) owned propaganda channel for all the sheeple mate, that is what it is. We have a similar channel in the UK called Sky News.

    The only bonus is that Bill O'Reilly is not on Sky News lol, other than that they are equally as bad as each other.

    How typical of a liberal to lay blame for the worlds problems on someone else, let alone a cable news network. Why not try being part of the solution for a change. Playing the blame game is not going to fix anything.

    Castro was originally pro democracy(remember we brought him to power by supporting his coup over batista), but turned to communism only cause there were conditions placed on his democracy. He needed to have the casinos there, the mafia there, among other things. There is a long list of undemocratic things we have done to 3rd world countries.

    Our founding fathers essentially said in nicer words that human beings have the potential to be scum of the earth. I see ideological thinking across the board but our focus has to be the truth. Why is it that everytime we hear news coming from western sources that means its the god given truth.
    Lets study the past, study how empires have always consolidated their powers then you can properly understand out current political and regional situation. Et Tu Brutis?

    I keep wondering what would have happened in Cuba if the US just would have let Castro play ball.

    Bill O'Reilly is great.


    Try taking your own advice. You can't be part of the solution if you can't even see the problem.

    Mia, cuba would have been a democratic country, but the problem with the elitist part of our government is that they are usually looking for their short term interest instead of the long term goal of our founding fathers which is democracy and freedom. Dont just look at cuba, look at iraq with qasm(who was a good leader and our cia helped take him out), moussadegh in iran(time magazines man of the year 1951). The list goes on, but for this to stop its up to us the american people to read up on this and protest. The constitution , when written was a very revolutionary piece that was written by revolutionaries that were way ahead of their times. Its a great set of laws but it was been raped and pillaged and made impotent.
    I love my country and that is why i speak out, but i also speak out favorably when i see it doing good in this world. Its part of what being a true and real american is all about

    Constitution is a PIECE OF PAPER. NOTHING MORE.

    If Castro didn't have the balls, it would of been Purte Rico. Study Spanish-American War, pretty interesting.

    Cubans banded to together with Americans to fight the Spaniards (many revolution or war is about EXCHANGING MASTERS). Also, the Monroe Doctrine, which is wrote by bunch of Americans (U.S and A!), mentions, no foreign power should interfere with North and South America. Guess what, some one already there. Monore Doctrine is outdated.

    Also, know why Philippines, wasn't included as another American State, this is called Democracy, which means, majority or majority was not willing to dilute their majority. In those days, people thought, if they don't look like us, then they are not really humans.

    While you are at it, find out why South Africa abandoned its nuclear technology. They couldn't see BLACKS with nuclear technology.
