Iraq unravels!

Nothing like having an enemy to get the war juices flowing....

No smiley. This is not a joke.

It wouldn't have been pretty, and probably would have soured me on American politics even worse than Johnson and Nixon did.

Funny that we are discussing Maliki. At least he is alive.

In a Kennedy sanctioned coup, the President of Viet Nam, Ngo Dinh Diem
was killed. Diem's brother also went down.

See I think, if there was a complicated conspiracy it was all about Cuba, not Vietnam. And Kennedy was as anti-communist as anybody those days.

Maybe.

Castro certainly had motivation considering how hard Kennedy was trying to assassinate him.

But I don't buy it.

I also don't buy into all the knee jerk demonization of Castro that goes on here.

But then any time any Latin American leader rises up and tries to do some good for the poor of his country our corporate interests throw a hissy fit.

Bottom line, I don't know who was behind the hit on Kennedy, but I suspect it was somewhere on the American right.

I sure as Hell don't buy that ludicrous cover story that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

I was born at night, but it wasn't last night.

You're right.

It's a long way from "Iraq unravels" to "Who killed JFK.

My bad.

Time to get back on track.


Go Kurds!!

Why are we telling ISIS what we intend to do.

You have the whole internet to look for one.

You might want to start with Biden, he's always tripping up.

How about that right winger Ted Kennedy.

Do you now relinquish your position as the final arbiter of each member's political persuasion?

It was just a malaprop, you have him pegged as something he most certainly is not. Just drop it and move on.
