You would prefer I link to Bill O'Reilly? Because he said the same thing Scheer did.

I just didn't want to confuse you and make you think I would take the time to listen to a conservative. Because, you know, us lefties can NEVER hear the other side's argument.

By the way... giving money to the Taliban prior to 9/11 and you think that is a big deal?
Um, yeah...our government giving 43 million to a country that would support and hold a man that would later go on to kill 3000 of our people? Yeah, I WOULD say that's a big deal.

We give several billion to Egypt every year. We give millions to the Palestinian Authority. I guess yeah.. you can argue that the federal government has been supporting terrorism for years. Long before Bush entered office.
Yeah, I can think of one big one...maybe when Reagan gave weapons to Iraq to fight Iran, which in turn were used against us by Iraq in 91.

Or how about when Nixon helped Pinoche into power over the peaceful Allende? That went over like gangbusters.

Name a President that was a Democrat that put a dictator into power. Kinda tough, isn't it?

Hell.. we give a large chunk of cash to support the U.N. What other organization does more to cover up and abet Middle East terrorism than the U.N. (maybe the Arab League but that is for another thread)?
What other organization has done more to help spread peace?

And what country has picked fights all over the world since WWII?

No wonder the world hates us, because we're the world's bully. We think we're right all the time, but every time we go in to "help" we screw it up and create chaos. I love America as much as the next guy, but having a foreign policy doesn't mean blowing up everything.
