Default Re: OT (or is it?): American Imperialism

I always thought Clinton is the greatist Politician we ever produced.( I don't admire politicians ) It's lucky for us his flaws got in the way of putting his mark on American society forever.

I have read some about the Initial stages of the Iraq war And understanding what I do it was obvious that
A. reporters are really ignorant about military matters
B. The military carried out it's orders
C. The Politicians were prepared for disaster and not for success
D. I am convinced that the Press is so focused on selling papers that The Truth is just another tool to be used or not used
E. I know that most people in the United States are ignorant of the Constitution and only have a hazy understanding of Rights and Responsiablities they have.
F.We are allowing Corporate America to define America
G.We are headed toward serious consequences
H.This is one of the most Interesting times in History.

I think I totally agree with every one of your points here.....I would say that the plans could have been a bit better for the Phase IV stuff, of course...but that was a political not as much a military decision.

[I will go to english dictionnary for meaning of "interesting"]
A. Agree. Even if I am a pacifist it's too obvious
B. Agree.
C. Can be discuss but I don't think it would have change anything.
D. Yes. Nobody is interested by truth ; military lie to have an easier task ; newspaper lies to make money ; politician lie to be reelected.
E. Sadly, yes.
F. Replace "america" by "world". I can't find a country where it's false.
G. Obvious !
H. I remember that in some culture it's a curse...
