Earl Hood 6,167 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 8 minutes ago, dieter said: Obama did nothing but toady to Israel and drop bombs and talk sweetly. Clinton was just as bad. The damage he and Albright did to Iraq, just for starters, was way beyond the pale. Obama will be compared to the great fairy flosses of the world, full of sweet sound and broken promises ( Quantanimo, exiting Iraq and Afghanistan) while piling on the murders by Drones, not to mention his complicity in the rape of Libya and Syria. Well Dieter I believe all US leaders believe in their right to attack their enemies off shore, wherever it may arise in the world. That gives them the right to ferment revolution or assination locally. And we have witnessed that throughout Central and South America and in Asia of course in the 20th century. Obama is just following a well worn national tradition. 2 Quote

For a start, bananas are about just as boring as nuts. Wanna talk about the weather? Okay, it's nice and cool in Melbourne at the moment, though we are heading for a 38 degree Tuesday, though the weather bureau keeps changing its mind about the exact figure. Have you ever noticed that? Does it annoy you too? Quote

hemingway 7,633 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 It would be an interesting social experiment to ban this thread. Even say, a freeze on the thread for a month. May cause an implosion of some iphones and lap taps around the country. Quote
