That's really funny coming from you LOL. Please, for the love of God, and your own sake, stop humiliating yourself. It takes a fair bit of self control on my part to refrain from making fun of pathetic little you. Stop throwing ammo my way. You're only temping me to use it LOL.

The fact that the video uses that ONE picture shaking hands with Saddam tells me everything.
It's the same lame argument used all the time.
Probably is, the times was so DIFFERENT THEN.
But then these are the same people that love wearing C.C.C.P. and Che shirts so that explains a lot...

Yes, it does tell you everything. An excellent picture symbolizing [a major aspect of] US foreign policy.

That has changed over the years...why does everyone keep forgetting that.
The U.S. Foreign policy (while hardly perfect) changed a lot after the collapse of the U.S.S.R. AND the Berlin Wall.
Why does everyone conveniently forget that??
A better question HOW does anyone forget that Cold War???
