    The answer is that your posts are public just like his brodcasts and if Rush is fair game for name calling so are you. The only difference is people want to hear his opinions.

    I said it was apparent to me, not that I knew for sure. More likely, you were thinking of Mickey Mouse.

    Not to mention the fact that yesterday, you were given a chance to articulate your problem with me, and not only chose not to do it, you chose to keep the problem going today, with this post....

    Since the statement is sandwiched between a conversation between Daisy & myself, I'm pretty safe to assume you were meaning to slam me.

    Your dishonesty in other threads, follows you around. Don't expect me to believe you didn't mean Bush.

    Including yourself, I guess. So why did you bring up Bush?

    Gee, can no one on this board stick to a topic?

    No Curtis, it was directed at carpro who repeatedly called me a liar. And frankly, I don't care what you believe, I KNOW what I meant.

    Since you were intentionaly Vauge, nobody knows what the topic is. Who do you want this story to remind us of?

    This doesn't sound like Reno, as you assert, as she has been gone for years.

    I guess the neocons on here cannot have a legitimate debate without chewing through all the pages allowed with attacks and derailments. I hope no seeker of God comes to this board. I see no brotherly love here at all.

    It was not meant to be vague. Maybe I should have been more explicit. As stated previously, it was meant to discuss why we invaded Iraq vs. why we did not invade Chile where the dictator had been just as evil as Hussein. Basically what makes one dictator worth American lives, while another is not.

    Is that explicit enough for you?

    Well, we do not have the resorces to invade all evil dictators. We choose Iraq because of the (world wide) belief that he continued to have WMDs and Husseins demonstrated support to terrorists ($ for suicide bombers).

    Also IMO I think we want Iraq out of the way when/if we have to go into Iran that will be alot harder then Iraq and we dont want Iraq fighting at our back.

    Well the Daisy quote you used was directed at me, not Carpro. So again, I don't believe you.

    No it was not, but I'm sorry if you felt it was. I was noting that carpro would chime in based on Daisy's post. And I don't care if you believe me. So again, get on topic or don't post. At least DeeJay finally posted about the topic before we run out of pages.

    So why do you think Pinochet was not deemed to be a threat by the administration at that time? Bush said we invaded to free the Iraqi people, hence the name Operation Iraqi Freedom. Why did the Chilean people not matter to the US?

    Oh, but it was. It was Daisy talking to me, then you saying she might be called a liar. Surely you can see that the quote you used was towards me, and I could only assume you were talking about me.

    And I'll let the mods tell me when and when not to post, I think this is on topic.

    No it isn't. The OP is not about you. The topic is invading and when a dictator is evil enough to warrant it versus another. And if you don't believe me, tough. I never directed it to you, nor did I think of you at that time. Read the thread "Team Bush to Cut and Run" and see how many times carpro called me a liar based on a statement similar to Daisy's. I didn't want to call him out by name, but now I must, since you feel it was directed to you. That's all I can tell you about it. If you chose to think otherwise, then that's just how it is.

    I already told you why. Because we seen SH and Iraq as a threat to us.

    If you were POTUS on 9-12-01 and were given the info avalable at the time would you have choosen to invade Chile?

    But that is only one of the many reasons given by the administration. What about the liberation excuse.

    The Pinochet regime was earlier than 2001, but in the timeframe of that regime I would not have invaded. NOR would I have invaded Iraq. I am all for the invasion of Afghanistan...clear links to 9/11. Bush rushed to war, chasing out Hans Blix and his team who were finally making headway. The president just didn't like the facts being reported by Blix...no WMD found. He vowed to find them when we went in. Guess what? They were not there, and Blix was right.

    Again, are the Chileans less valuable than Iraqis?

    My view is we cannot and should not be the world's police force.

    I'm talking about that thread right now. Page three.

    I think you have to admit that at first glance, since it was Daisy talking to me, in the quote you used, it sure could look like a slam on me.

    Would you admit that ?

    Even if you don't, I was pretty shocked about the accusations you leveled at me yesterday, I didn't think I deserved them. Perhaps that has a little to do with what's going on, now.

    Anyhoo, I'm off to enjoy the Great Northwest out-of-doors for the weekend. See you Monday, go Tigers!!!!!

    Curtis, read up above. I already said if you thought that, I was sorry. Maybe it looked like it, and it was not what was intended.

    Enjoy the great outdoors. See you on Monday.

    We would not have went in for liberation alone. But it is a noble cause to go in for and add the threat Iraq was believed to be, we acted.

    The whole world believed Iraq had WMDs the congress, the previous administration, most every other country.

    You would not have went into either country, I would have. I think we should find a way to get into Danfor (I know I spelled that wrong). I do not see a country any different then a person. If I see somebody getting beat up, guess what I am going in.

    I think strong countrys have a moral obligation to try to protect weak people from dictators and I regreat that we can not do more then we do. So I do think we should be the worlds police.
