The Wisdom of Evil, Have We Learned Nothing?

[CoryKS]

actually Brainard, NO.

I have seen the Iraqi's attack the US.

They did it on a nearly daily basis for 10 YEARS

The UN resolution that ended the Gulf war? It included lots of conditions. One of which was that the US was going to enforce the "no fly" zones

Iraq Shot at those us planes nearly every day. Those acts ALONE made the invasion of 2003 legal.

Did you really not know this?

not to mention the PROVEN support Saddam gave to AQ and Hammas

Not to mention that the American presence on the "holy" Arabian peninsula in support of the no-fly zone was one of al Qaeda's justifications for declaring war against us. One of those "root causes" that everyone said we should look at.

At least give us credit for being in the ballpark - it's not like that one time when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and we responded by invading... Morocco.

the war on terror has been underway since 1972, the west just wasnt fighting back till 2001

..not fighting that you'd get to read about in the papers, anyway....

An Iraqi was part of the first World Trade Center bombing, and probably had Saddam Hussein's support.

not to mention the PROVEN support Saddam gave to AQ and Hammas

If by "PROVEN support" you mean something other than the money he gave to families of suicide bombers-please do mention it.

That little fact always seems to be ignored.

During a war, news should be given out for instruction rather than information."
-Joseph Paul Goebbels


Have look at this thread.

"Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.”
-- Joseph Goebbels

Have look at this thread.[/url

"The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over.”
-- Joseph Goebbels

Have look at [url=http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?p=977652#post977652] this thread!

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
-- Joseph Goebbels
Have look at this thread!

on the other hand this:

"It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of the nation, that the position of the individual is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole."
-Adolf Hitler

sounds suspiciously like this:

"Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good
-Hillary Clinton

Yeah, just because both Hitler and BOTH democratic candidates want(ed) to force gun registration on the public, that probably doesn't mean anything...

Rove studying Nazi propaganda intently for years... Just coincidence.

Any proof of that or is that just another of your little accusations you like to throw out truthful or not?

So what if he did? Hitler, was a brilliantly charismatic public speaker, is public speaking evil now because Hitler was good at it?

I'm sorry, I can't include Alantis Morrisette in wisdom or evil...
Perhaps she fits in the "learned nothing" piece of this tread

All my claims are true. Whether I stick around to play pattycake with the spin doctors and truth distortion magnates is another matter entirely. That aside, Rove's stated it himself. Rove may very well be lying about it, but I don't see what it'd gain him.

"The Wisdom of Evil, Have We Learned Nothing? "

No. We haven't. We ignore the past and make excuses for the present so that in the future we can act all surprised when we take it in the ***, again.
