Just a couple quick things before I head off to dinner... I agree we haven't found any WMD in Iraq, but we really haven't been there *that* long. Do you expect us to be able to find secret hidden facilities somewhere in an entire country that fast? Think about how much land is involved. Not to mention we still have to divert most of the forces to peacekeeping and policing, not searching for WMD.
I agree with everything you said about the stock market, and yes sometimes tax cuts don't work- this is especially true when consumer confidence is low as it is now. There is a lot of psychology involved in the economy. It is the bull vs. bear mentality, not just the numbers. Right now for the most part people are bearish about the economy, while the numbers are proving bullish.
I certainly wasn't saying Iraq trained Kurds, or that Kurds ran terrorist camps, thats why I put the
to emphasize sarcasm at the end of the sentence
. I was saying that Iraq trains terrorist in the northern territories, which is also where the Kurds are. He didn't train the Kurds, he trained the terrorists there, which he could also use to suppress the Kurds (gassing).
Pearl Harbor conspiracy theory is just that- a theory. We found out about the attack two hours in advance (IIRC), but still weren't sure it was a reality. Not to mention it is hard to assemble and battle-ready an entire fleet in two hours, especially in the configuration the ships were docked.
I do watch some CNN, but just so I stay balanced. I know they are crap, as I referred to them as al-Jazerah of the west earlier. CNN tried to get people to spend every penny on inner-city kids, while Fox News supports vast armies and the spread of our capitalism aka emperialism. NBC is basically liberal, and CBS is just a bunch of old people that want more social security.
Thats it for now, off to get some dinner and class.
