so what's the point. Was he trustable or not. Little kid? I guess you really thought Uncle Joe was trustable during WW2?

Your point is irrelevant. It is just an attempt to find fault elsewhere (like a little kid), but it in no way invalidates the argument in question.

Sorry for the question, but it is 'Tonto' a Native America Name? (As I though after reading the joke), because it means 'fool' in Spanish.

So how much will the US pay for these troops? or will these states actually fund these small foces out of ther own pocket?

Wow, only 7000 more and they can match the commitment that India backed out of, which was one whole division (and thus, without any of the command problems of this polyglut force).

what are those more important reasons? i was under the impression that rumsfeld was scared **** of saddams huge chemical, nuclear and biological weapons, and giving that as #1 reason to go to war.


rumsfeld is a little crybaby; i think even bush has said more reasonable things than that absolutely miserable old *****!

i reckon the guy must be thinking like this:

'Saddam has a nuclear bomb and now i'm scared because only we should be having nuclear weapons so now we're gonna bomb iraq to smithereens while i sit here on my comfy ass in washington, playing golf and having a good 'cuban' cigar!'

We were scared of the programs, the person who had shown a willingness to use them, who had invaded his neighbors, and who was not complying with the terms of his cease-fire. In fact, evading them and blowing them off as much as he could. If we were scared of missiles on the launcher, we would not have spent the whole winter trying to get peacenicks on board.

If you'll remember (but you probably won't.) Bush did not want to go to the UN. Who did?
Tony Blair.

Bush wanted to go in with all guns blazing but Blair knew we needed UN support or else it would be a HUGE political failure.
And Blair was right

Oh, and doesn't anyone remember Bushies little speech about how Saddam could turn New York "into a mushroom cloud"?

The only reason this is a political failure is because there's always a large handful of douchebags in society, and self humiliated former powers itching to make someone else look bad with whatever they can.

"Tonto" isn't a real Amerindian name. It's the name that was given to the fictional Lone Ranger's NA sidekick. The creators apparently wanted to have some subtle fun with the more perceptive members of the television audience while being blatantly racist at the same time! What fun!

It's a tough decision, but I think that "Amerindian" has to be the stupidest of all the PC terms. I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone uses it when "Native American" is less offensive and "Indian" is easier to say.

	07-09-2003 10:22									#114

Because "Indian" usually refers to a group of people who live in Asia. India, specifically

I prefer the term "Native American Indian".

Why? It retains the semi-offensive "Indian" term, but adds the "Amer-" on to make it as akward to use in everyday conversation as "Native American". I fail to see the point in using it.

Because it is an obvious name. Indians makes it too obvious to be confused for those people that actually live IN India! AmerIndian is American Indian, but easier to say... and definetly not awkward in the slightest.

I've never used it in conversation, to my knowledge. Never heard anyone else use it either. I thought it was just some liberal buzzword Mr. Fun picked up in college, until Boris used it and you admitted to an affinity for it.
