Another thing vogs19 I dont like to call names but are you out of it or something?

Hizbollah play for government power via the ballot box in Lebanon was seen off (they werent in power as you seem to believe) under a democratic American administration with our own Secretary of State doing what she could behind the scenes to support the pro-Western candidates. Why would the Dems facilitate something they now "cant stand"?

Your position here makes no senses - sorry.

[tradercris]

Um, actually, it is Bush/Cheney who now blame bad intelligence for the lack of WMD to back up their claim back in 2002 as this as the major reason to invade Iraq - and you can look that up!

Plus as a veteran (unlike you) dont use me and my fellow service people as a poltical club against the Dems. They have not spent four years criticizing the brave members of the American armed forces - that's just a lie.

[tradercris]

President Obama must walk a tight-rope, encourage American values and freedom and democracy with out seeming to meddle in internal Iranian affairs - very sensitive there in that country due to CIA coup back in 1953.

Try and think America (not political party) first 1kkyu.

Cantor and company only have to demagoue to sour loser elements of GOP (so as to hold their positions in that party) who feel one war in the Middle East (Iraq) aint enough, we need another in Iran!

[tradercris]

erick sometimes war is necessary. I was ready to fight Communism (literally) in the USAF under Presidents Carter and Reagan - fortunately for all concerned it never came to that. Neo-con tough guys annoy me - they think we must be tough in a dangerous world and that argument can be made under the right circumstatnces - but absolutely WONT serve themselves. Guiliani? Talks tough about "enhanced interogation". During Viet Nam he got the crucial Judicial Deferment - gimmie a break!

[1kkyu]

So you think that people who are not veterans don't have the right to speak out? Based on what? At any rate, the man is not talking about any kind of military intervention. He is simply saying that we should provide moral support for people who have the guts to oppose totalitarian rule, and in saying that he's spot on.

[crosshillchris]

It would be easy to make another huge foreign policy blunder and provide the Iranian government a reason to link the opposition to some dark plot hatched by the imperialist U.S.A.

It isn't that difficult to understand. Cantor knows what he's doing.

[erick6791]

I do not like to use this kind of vocabulary, but what are you stupid republicans thinking?

You are just full of.! Do you really think the U.S. can keep wars against N. Korea, The Taliban (Afghanistan), in Iraq, and Iran? You cowards would not be brave enough to fight in a real war. My wife in deployed right now to Afghanistan. I believe what she is doing is good, but I hate what you are doing.

[crosshillchris]

You moron. The Iranian government wants us to stick our noses in their business so that they can say the opposition is a puppet of the U.S.A. Can't you see that Cantor is just grandstanding in order to appeal to knuckle draggers who think we should impose our way of life on the world?

Let me ask you just what we should do? Invade? you're an idiot if you don't see what is really going on here.

[tradercris]

Cantor I'm a vet and if you got near a recruiting station you would wet your pants. Do me a favor wimp, shut it (your mouth).

[crosshillchris]

You jerk. A moral obligation? Idiots like you are the reason half the world hates us.
