Give me a break. You're blaming all of those things on Jimmy Carter? Unbelievable.

Where did he/she say it was all Carter's fault?

For the record I blame Carter for global state-sponsored terrorism since Iran went from a country that was moderate and beautiful to one where little girls get married and the insane leader funds the region's terrorist groups. And while Jimmy is smiling thinking about all the Christian houses he builds with Habitat he should remember what he did. I also blame every political party for allowing the Saudis to keep funding the nutjobs as well.

You may wish to sing the USMC Hymm to learn just how far back this goes......."To the shores of.." ring a bell?

While I am sure that one could and can find other sources, I just picked up "The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805" by Richard Zacks.

About the Barbary coast pirate/states....

Why do people continuously hide behind screen names to say how they really feel?

Opi, since you apparently support terrorists, would you care to share your real name with us? I do understand that you are a muslim, and probably do experience a great deal of prejudice towards your religion. Believe me, as a Catholic in the middle of the Bible belt, I can sympathize

Honestly though, do you not condemn countries such as Iran, Libya, and Syria for their support of Islamic fanaticicism? I think everyone knows there's a difference between traditional, moderate muslims and fundamental extremists, but there's little question which of the two groups calls the shots in these various terror states.

I meant fake screen names, KTSnake. Not real names. And your statement about me supporting terrorists because I dont condemn is pretty lame and baseless really.

Why don't you condemn them?

-- also, if you search through my posts, I don't really make a secret of my name.

Indeed. Way to go Lt. O'Bannon.

Please remind me what was the response of Carter's administration when the Iranians invaded our embassy, destroyed our property, and took our Embassy staff hostage?

It was a seven letter word.

Nothing

Please remind me what was the response of Bush's administration when they invaded Iraq under the false pretense of "Al-Queda Connection", destroyed their property, and caused insurgency and near-civil war?

It was a seven letter word.

Nothing


In other words, STFU!

Why would the Bush administration need to respond to their own actions?

(Not that I approve of the Bush administration's foreign policy, but your post makes no sense. Unless by "they" you also mean the Iranians, in which case you've got some facts really wrong.)

Apology for misleading the public, for one.

While the administration certainly obfuscated the reasons behind invasion, do you really think an apology is actually an equivalent "nothing" to the post you reponded to?

Not that I particularly agree with ann.coulter2's post, but I think you're going apples and oranges when it's not at all necessary to make your point. Why don't we simply discuss the Bush administration's actions on their own merits?

Thank you for telling me what's necessary to make my point.
