Report: Subcontractors in Afghanistan Do Crazy Things When They Don't Get Paid

What you proved is a cabal of 'conservatives' LEAD by the republicans in both parts of Congress instead of seeing the looming war and preparing the nation for it they launched a series of self serving partisan attacks on FDR that left our nation woefully unprepared when dec 7th came.

Instead of providing LEADERSHIP in defense of our nation they lead citizens on a fool's run in an attempt to bury their heads and pretend it wasn't coming for us.

You are typical of the partisan right, find a few who are not republicans and claim all is false! Hardly, what it proves is 'conservatives', Anglophobes, and anti-Semites work hard hand in hand to convince the citizens of a lie. one that when fully exposed helped put the republican party so far out of power it was decades before they recovered....

It was a nasty little bunch of collaborators that tried their damnest to help Hitler by convincing the American people the war would never come to our shores. Spin it anyway you want the Republican leadership in both houses were in sorry partnership for domestic partisan politics instead of the defense of our nation.

Go to any scholastic source on Isolationism and it reads like a who's who of the Republican leadership along with the 'conservatives' in other parties and not very political at all...

At this point, I really do not care. Let Afghanistan pay for its own work.

Ya know, seriously, me too.

I know it's harsh, but we went there to punish over 9/11... we should have simply meted out the punishment and left.

A lot of that is hindsight and frustration, but damn we have to stop making things so effing complicated.

Actually it came from a series of different websites, from the gallup poll website to wiki. feel free to tell the different story... if you can find one.... I gave all the main actors and the poll/vote results.

try 'historic boys clothing' they have several articles on the main players in the isolationist movement. Gallup polls are at their website, the life poll came from wiki...

Look, I can't help it that you can't spell, understand what words mean or are able to navigate the web. If you need to be lead by the hand perhaps you should refrain from such snarky comments as 'let Hitler go'...

Just a thought until you improve... :2wave:
