Question for Tom and Elliot Choux... 11/26/06
    Excerpted from the transcript of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos:

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Is it a civil war in Iraq right now?

    KING ABDULLAH: Well, George, the difficulty that we're tackling with here is, we're juggling with the strong potential of three civil wars in the region, whether it's the (1.)Palestinians, that of (2.)Lebanon or of (3.)Iraq...

    ... And we could possibly imagine going into 2007 and having three civil wars on our hands. And therefore, it is time that we really take a strong step forward as part of the international community and make sure we avert the Middle East from a tremendous crisis that I fear, and I see could possibly happen in 2007.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I have a serious question based on this quote.

    Was it one of the goals of the Bush Administration and the NeoCons to have the Middle East go up for grabs, as it were? A secondary alternative to the naive quest to install "Democracy" in Iraq and watch it flower and spread to their neighbors?

    Choux


    PS-I'm not altogether sure my work is done here in view of the situation in the middle east.

      Choux, as long as you post I'll answer - unless you end them before giving anyone a chance. As for you not considering yourself an intellectual I won't even take the easy shot, but I will say I wasn't actually referring to you but "the left" in general...something a 'rational' person would have understood.

      It, I only read the first and last line you your posts to get an inkling of the tenor of your comments which have ALWAYS been hateful blatherings.

      I'm not interested in what you have to say.

      Choux, you're amazing. You call my posts "hateful blatherings" but you don't even read them. That's typical of anti-Bush, left-wing blowhards - they have no idea what they're talking about since they have no idea what anyone actually said.
