Keep repeating your talking points, Bush will surely not get elected again in '08. AND the Republicans will loose the White House and MORE of Congress!

The GOP has a agenda that MOST Americans do not support!

I am a Republican that believes we MUST Balance the budget and repay the debt. I am a Republican that does not support Nation Building. I am a Republican that Believes we MUST keep our promises to the Baby Boomers!

Then WHY did we not invade Baghdad and depose Saddam under Bush 41? There may have been plan to remove Saddam; however the consequences prevented that from taking place. The SAME issues were present when GWB was planning his invasion but the difference is that GWB did not heed the advice of those that had the experience and every WARNING Bush 41 and 43 were given have come true after the Idiot we have in the White House disregarded that advice and invaded Iraq!

You ignore that Bush was warned by Baker, Powell and Armitage of the dangers of invading Iraq. Bush ignored their warnings and EVERYTHING these people warned GWB about has come true. Everything Bush told us as to how the invasion of Iraq would play out was proven to be WRONG!

Despite the results, Bush and Cheney still claim they made the correct choice. HOW THE HELL CAN THAT BE?

We were told it would cost between $40-60 Billion.

We were told we would be treated as liberators.

We were told it would enhance OUR security

We were told it would be quick and clean

We were told we would find WMD


Every one of these claims was WRONG. What were we told about this war that was true?

I do not know what would have happened if we had invaded Iraq in 1991 but I do know that Bush was warned first NOT to invade Iraq and second not to do so with a small force. He ignored the advice from foreign policy experts like Baker, Powell and Armitage. He also ignored the Military experts that said to SECURE Iraq after Saddam fell it would take about 500,000 troops. So guess what -- this mess in Iraq is 100% Bush. Now we have our military in the middle of a Civil war that we can not solve. All we are doing is killing and injuring more of our military and spending billions more each day!! When we do leave the likelihood is that the Iraqi’s will continue to fight each other until one side gains control or the country splits into two or three separate countries! We will wind up getting the blame and have killed and wounded our military, spent a $1 Trillion dollars and made our country NO safer then before we invaded Iraq! We will wind up with the need to rebuild our Army, Marines, National Guard and Army Reserve and have millions more Moslems that hate us enough to try another 9/11 or worse. We will have as many as a 100,000 former military that will require some medical care for many years to come. ALL THIS BECAUSE of the poor choices of GWB! This war will be judged as one of the worst decisions a President has EVER made in our history.

I was disqualified from officer’s candidate school because my parents were married before I was born. (smile) You are correct I can’t think according to your expert opinion. Let’s forget the fact that I had the confidence of three presidents, Mr. Cater, Mr. Reagan, and Mr. Bush plus numerous General officers in and out of the Corps. Lets ignore the fact that after I left government service my first job was as a non thinking consultant to Carnival Cruise Lines who after a year kicked me out to help them set up security for Carnival’s Crystal Palace and then Carnival Airlines, Lets ignore the fact that I was Security Consultant to Valujet Airlines and ran their Fort Lauderdale station for a year. This allowed me to take 10 years off to relax and not think even more. I am not well known except as a security expert and that is not my primary job. Which reminds me that I just renewed my real estate license so I can continue to not think, though the state of Florida considers me an expert in Real Estate in any of their courts as I have to be a little more than acquainted with such non thinking as real estate law, and hazardous material, while keeping up with national security so I don’t’ get stale if called to consult again for DHS. Yup. You got me pegged as a non-thinker. How astute of you. I am impressed by your powers of reason and deduction.

Idiot: an offensive term in a now disused classification system for somebody with and IQ of about 25 or under and a mental age of less than three years old. This term does not fit me since my IQ is one hundred points above that number. But since you are into archaic terms to fit your mind I am pleased you used it.

YOU ARE NUTS!

Your rants are often funny, Gene. But there's nothing funny about your childish and disrespectful displays of petulance. Your arguments are down to the "Your mother wears Army boots!" level. You appear to do this full time, as well, which I suppose is a good thing since it keeps you occupied with keyboard pounding therapy, away from the big kids where you can do no real damage.

Paladin: ColGene was in the Army, but never Artillery.  He was a Nuclear Weapons Officer on Active Duty and a Finance Officer in the Reserves.  I know I'm awfully hard on him and his one track mind, but in this case I was being good natured about his shot at me. 

{{{{Rubs Paladin's Wings}}}}

I now return you all to ColGene's one rail track, already in progress.

Now you see that is different than what he said in an article some time back. Keep in mind that the Army has nuclear arttillery shells. THey were used in the 1950's but like col have been mothballed ever since. Finance officer? You mean a disbursment clerk or payroll officer? How cute!

I will take your word on this as the only information I have was old news reels showing the cannon at work. The Marine Corps never had the thing we used other methods of putting nukes on target. Tell me col. Are you still PRP certified?

By the by you can refute information that is irrelevant to the topic but failed to challenge anything I wrote a few days ago. I guess they must be true and you can’t find a way around them so you ignore them. Good Job!

Calling people names and insults is not refuting an argument with facts. It is name calling.

Try refuting me outside your head and on the blog, I want to see those facts. LOL
