    You got that right.

    You have to forgive the very young.

    They haven't been around long enough to realize that the US constantly changes its definitions of terrorism, terror group and terrorist act.

    Arafat's keen observation that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter would probably put the zap on their heads.

    Now? You never ceased being good buddies with them.

    They were helping you in Yugoslavia/Serbia right up to the time of 9-11 and it was al-Qaida that facilitated the secret illegal talks between the Clinton and Bush Administrations and the Taliban regarding the CENTGAS Pipeline prior to the invasion of Afghanistan.

    Sure - and Rotten Ronnie was training the soldiers of Central American Death Squad Dictators in terror tactics at the "School of the America'"

    Supporting those who did 911 - "After 911" is a different kettle of fish.

    Biden had few options given what Trump and Pompey did when they celebrated their deal to release Taliban prisoners for nothing in return. Do you folks really want to fight endless wars in Asia? Really? I know its horrible and people are going to die but is it our mission to make people like each other in Afghanistan? He did what was needed, cut and run. Let them figure out what kind of nation they want. Endless wars never produce anything but deaths, just look at Israel and the Palestinians.

    I've known for years that Eisenhower was just a man, and very imperfect, and a product of West Point. A sinner, if you will, just like you and me.

    That said, at least he had the courage to warn about the military industrial complex. Yes, it fell on deaf ears, and they are a very powerful group that succeeded in sweeping his warning under the rug of the public awareness, but at least he stated the truth in public.

    Many times I have noted the many Bipartisan Efforts in the attacks on the US Constitution. I've read Sibel Edmonds' book "Classified Woman", and have no trouble believing the federal government is controlled by TPTB, and that the duopoly is an essential part of the deception.

    AQ did not attack us on 911, the Mossad and other domestic enemies did. That's what the facts show.

    I'm not the one who is confused, because you argue against what I said when we pretty much said the same thing.

    Apologies all around. Perhaps you're more savvy than I thought.

    In any event, here are some of Senator Kerry's remarks on Iran-Bosnia.

    Mr. President, my interest in getting to the bottom of this case is not based solely on the majority leader's request. In my view, if the press reports are correct, the United States chose a course of action in Croatia and Bosnia with very serious down-side risks. The Bosnian situation was and is exceptionally complex and presented few good options to policymakers. But our alignment with Iran, even if it was a passive and accidental alignment, was very dangerous. Every President since Jimmy Carter has declared a state of emergency with respect to Iran, and United States laws and Executive orders have embargoed imports from Iran, limited United States exports to Iran, banned United States trade and investment in Iran including the trading of Iranian oil overseas by United States companies or their foreign affiliates, and placed sanctions on persons or countries who supply Iran with any goods or technologies that could contribute to Iran getting destabilizing conventional weapons or any weapons of mass destruction technology. These laws and Executive orders are there for a reason: to contain and isolate a country which conducts and supports terrorism and attempts to proliferate nuclear and chemical weapons. A policy which depends on such an amoral country to arm the otherwise defenseless Bosnian Moslems is dangerous--not merely politically dangerous, but potentially threatening to our allies and eventually to our own forces, when they deployed a year later. To turn a blind eye to Iranian shipments is to turn a blind eye to the possibility of United States casualties at the hands of the very people we have allowed to be armed, especially with a United States deployment imminent.

    Oh, what tangled webs we weave.

    You are forever blowing my mind with some astounding comment ... and then it turns out that you are often right.
