Unfortunately, that's been our foreign policy for a quite some time now. You'd think that they'd teach that little bit of history to the new recruits at Camp Peary.


A few quick examples of CIA blowback:


Saddam
Osama
The former Shah of Iran
General Suharto
Castro
Noriega

I don't think any of those guys were ever our friends, but we sure as hell supported them when it served our agenda.

Nice segue and touche...

Originally posted by gouuryella LOL, so Katrina was Bush's fault. Like Bush can predict the future? I cant believe people like still bitch about idiotic thoughts like that. See I could well see you think like that Iranian president where he wants to see Israel off the face of the planet, im sure you feel the same way about America.

but you do know that bush and his administration don't want to sign the kyoto protocol, which can prevent even more drastic environmental catastrophies?

by the way, did you know that (i think it was 1 month) before iraq was invaded they changed their foreign business from us dollar to euros? so did north korea, and very soon after that they were member of the axsis of evil!

the dollar is in a crisis for about 20 years now and they are struggling with it, so they do something to push the economy (war is a very good way to do that) but i think soon enough the world centre will be back to asia, as it was until 1850 (then it moved to the usa after the first world war)

and about the leader of iran!
you can't take him serious...he won't begin a war, he doesn't have the ressources! so let him talk bullshit, the people won't be happy for a long time, because he won't raise the living standards of the people as he's pumping much money into the military!

the problem will be solved by the people, as it would have been solved by the people in iraq

It's funny to see that some americans really believe that this "fight against terror" is necessary and brings the world freedom and peace

Damn, Dick and Donald did their job very good by washing your brain

Unfortunately Georgie stays 3 more years in the oval office So be prepared that he puts your taxes into these fake war instead of improving your health and education system

And if there is some hurricane coming over your home town make sure you'll write Mr. Bush a letter where you thank him for not agreeing with the Kyoto protocol
