**** NUKES found in Iraq *****

GW spoke in terms of political bravado in light of the current mood in America. Very wise when you are an elected official. However, we are not the most powerful nation on the planet if the world unites against us, and it's almost like we are daring them to do it? In order to manipulate the citizens of the world to support our ideas and policies we need to understand that alenating them will only promulgate the opposite. I'm all about power, not the loss of it. I know we could bomb the shit out of everyone, and there is little most could do about it, but since we won't do that, then we should consider the psychological game of world opinion.

You're killing me Miller!!
I think we're talking about the same thing here LP.
I just think that the world needs America way more then America needs the world. All anyone needs to do is ask us for help and BAM! There it is. But you know what, it's never free. America is going to ask something of you in return. What's wrong with that??
It's like the rest of the world is a teenager and we're the parents. "Yeah, we'll pay for college for you, but while we're footing the bill, you gotta live by OUR RULES, bitch"
Isn't that how it works in life? When you get your paycheck doens't it come with some rules set forth by those who sign your check??
mirvin - and don't gimme any bs about how you sing your own check. That is not an argument

You're right. I dodge the right button instinctively.
Mirv ~ I agree to a point yet, we are now the parent trying to control a young adult with their own apartment. it's time to tweak our strategy. We are suffering a precedent set by our predecessors. Namely our parents. They gave and gave with no threat of recourse or accountability and then when they wanted even more, they gave again. They are doing what we taught them to do. Now all of a sudden we are trying to cash in the receipt and they are calling foul. It's basic operant conditioning that we instigated and nurtured. Now it's time to use reverse psychology and bring them into the fold. Threats will only alienate them further...just like with a child.

And some children need to be pushed out into the world before they can grow up.......

BS story! I guarantee you if they had found nukes in Iraq that Bush and all his buddies would be on tv announcing it. Or are you saying that the media wouldn't show a Bush press conference?
