Re: Democratic "Leaders: real opinion of the masses they rule

look, Happy, although you're probably entirely too stupid to see the problem, I'll spell it out for you: You represent one political extreme that feeds on a divisive line of stupidity that says, 'anyone that isn't from the extreme right is a communist and thus dangerous'. That is sort of a 50's re-t...

Re: Democratic "Leaders: real opinion of the masses they rule

wrong, in this case, Ruggie. I'm defending someone I know, who talks to everyone like he was on the softball team with them. As pols go, Biden's as good as they get. Listens to his constituents, shows personal character, doesn't get caught up in the Washington 'scene'. I'll defend the dude. He's rea...

Re: Democratic "Leaders: real opinion of the masses they rule

lame. You don't call your pals 'smartass' when they give you some goofy reply? Anyone who thinks Joe Biden is mean-spirited is, frankly, clueless. I've known the guy, personally, for 38 freaking years, and he's quite possibly the most human, concerned and caring elected official I've ever met, at th...

Re: I wonder if I wasn't being optimistic....

see, Daii, some good thinking DID come from this post. My thoughts, still pretty much unchanged from 2007 are this: We had our chance, back in 2002, to aggressively pursue a more functional Afghanistan.

Re: I wonder if I wasn't being optimistic....

The Afghani's have been fighting each other for most of recorded history. We're about to get in the same shape over there that the Russians did. We're fighting the same SOB's that the Russians were and we were supplying them to fight the Russians. Now the Russians and the Chinese are supporting the...

I wonder if I wasn't being optimistic....

....a few years ago, 2007 to be exact, I wrote on these pages and another, unamed, site that the West had possibly overstayed the welcome in Afghanistan, and might want to just bag the whole effort. Three years later, I almost think I was being overly rosy in my words, although, at the time, I took ...
