Yes, we all loved the Taliban and the proto-Al Queada back then. Wasn’t Rambo 2 or 3 dedicated to the fighters in Afghanistan? Maybe not fighters, but definitely Afghanistan.

It’s bullshit to say that Carter did nothing. Carter began the policy of supplying the Afghan resistance with arms and supplies to resist the Soviet invasion. Reagan only continued that policy.

George W. Bush, the last Republican president of the United States, stood idly by while Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld invaded and occupied a sovereign nation.

Jimmy Carter, the last Democratic President to hold office during the Cold War, stood by and did nothing while the USSR invaded and occupied a sovereign nation.

His response? Pull American athletes out of the Olympics. Yeah, that really showed ‘em, Mr. Killer Rabbit.

I follows that since Reagan is the sole reason for the fall of the Soviet Empire, his legacy demands he retain credit for it’s re-emergence.

Desert Rat is correct. But, by then it might be too late.

My gut feeling on this is Putin will step down in a fashion like Octavian did. Well, I’ll go retire now… To which the people refuse and he ascends.

January 21, 2009, I suspect. Unless of course, another GOoPer wins the Presidency, in which case all bets are off.

Sounds like a People for the American Way dream come true to me.

By the way: Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember:

I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me

Why would Bush stop it? He is envious of it. Pooty poot is soul mate. I looked the man in the eye,” Mr. Bush said of Putin after their meeting in
Slovenia in June, adding, “I was able to get a sense of his soul.” and If this were a dictatorship, it’d be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m
the dictator.

We never gave a damn about its totalitarianism before except to demonize it in propaganda, and we have new official enemies now. Nothing to see here, move along, we’ve always been at war with Eurasia and allied with Oceania.
