is there a right answer? im not sure there is. seems to have more facets than a finely cut diamond. is bush all to blame for what is going on now... not really, but as the president he chose to wear that hat.
i would never choose to wear that hat, too much responsibilty and chance for job failure. as we are watching now. so, im not sure there is a right answer tim. im just not. we were really put in a tough situation. fight a war against an army with no nation. fight a war against a people who know sense of reality. fight a war against people who are not only driven by differences of opinion, but differences in culture, and religion-- big divide there. but im sure you like most of us, can agree that we probably could have taken a small step back, REALLY evaluate the situation with GOOD rock solid intelligence, make quick precise strikes and move on. but i think we stumbled into the party like a big buffoon with no control of his arms or legs, drunk like a sailor. cavalier in style and seemingly wanton in course of action. i just think we could have maybe had a bit more tact. i dont know. tw tw On 12/15/05, Tim Heald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The Taliban wasn't founded until years after the soviets left Afghanistan, > and we favored their opponents, the Northern Alliance. > > Your second point deals with Iraq, not Afghanistan, please stay on point, > and check your facts about Afghanistan. > > Back on point, what should our response been to 911? > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Michael Bramwell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 8:16 PM > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: Re: Iran > > > > What would you have wanted us to do in the aftermath of 911? > > > > Off the top of my head: > > > > Refect on: > > - Whether it was such a good idea to fund the Taliban to > > the tune of billions of dollars in the quest to defeat the > > Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. > > - Using terrorism and WMD's as an excuse to invade a > > nation for its oil, thereby discrediting the necessary fight > > against terrorism to the rest of the world and making the > > West a pariah in the Middle East. > > > > Michaelb. > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Tim Heald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> > > Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 8:43 AM > > Subject: RE: Iran > > > > > > > You still haven't responded to the questions about how you > > would handle > > > things like Hitler. > > > > > > What would you have wanted us to do in the aftermath of 911? > > > > > > I'm wondering. > > > > > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:188449 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
