pay up
As i guess I was right..didnt see where it says Ronald Reagan sold weapons to Suddam to be used on his own people. No one knew how bad Suddam was and that he would kill his own people.

He is already the worst Prez in our lifetime.
You know, on this board, there are many times that I read things from people and I just want to shake them. They are so UNINFORMED its not even funny. Its not there fault, some people just dont pay attention or they listen to others who are also uninformed and then simply repeat what has been said. You happen to be one of those persons. You dont have history correct, and rely on cable news or rhetoric to form arguments.
In this case, its clear you dont have the first clue about the Reagan administration.
Here's a video of donald rumsfeld meeting with Saddam Hussein during the Reagan Administration.
Donald Rumsfeld meets Saddam Hussein 1983 (full) - YouTube
""As an envoy from President Reagan 19 years ago, he had a secret meeting with the Iraqi dictator and arranged enormous military assistance for his war with Iran""
Rumsfeld 'helped Iraq get chemical weapons' | Mail Online
""It details nuclear efforts from the early 1980s to the Gulf War and contains diagrams, plans and test results in uranium enrichment, detonation, implosion testing and warhead construction.... Most of the sales were legal and often made with the knowledge of governments. In 1985-90, the U.S. Commerce Department, for example, licensed $1.5 billion in sales to Iraq of American technology with potential military uses. Iraq was then getting Western support for its war against Iran, which at the time was regarded as the main threat to stability in the oil-rich Gulf region.""
""An eight-year-old Senate report confirms that disease- producing and poisonous materials were exported, under U.S. government license, to Iraq from 1985 to 1988 during the Iran-Iraq war. Furthermore, the report adds, the American- exported materials were identical to microorganisms destroyed by United Nations inspectors after the Gulf War. The shipments were approved despite allegations that Saddam used biological weapons against Kurdish rebels and (according to the current official U.S. position) initiated war with Iran.""

This is why the left is where they are - If you think this is the conservative case for obamacare you are sadly mistaken!
The NY times has no clue what the word conservative means... LOL!
Do you understand the significance of a question mark? Seriously, I keep seeing alot on the right acting like it's over. I'm kind of surprised at that.
Are you saying that the NY Times is not a liberal newspaper and that this article is not very slanted to the left??The writer of that article is JD Kleinke. He is a Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Yeah real liberal.
I can top that...actually you know whats funnier than that...listening to someone who thinks they know sooooo much about politics past and present, and they have OBAMA as their profile pic...Dude you are wearing a sign! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, now thats some funny smile*!
Sen. Robert Byrd, a master at hectoring executive branch witnesses, asked Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld a provocative question last week: Did the United States help Saddam Hussein produce weapons of biological warfare? Rumsfeld brushed off the Senate's 84-year-old president pro tem like a Pentagon reporter. But a paper trail indicates Rumsfeld should have answered yes.
[SIZE=-1]On August 18, 2002, the New York Times carried a front-page story headlined, "Officers say U.S. aided Iraq despite the use of gas". Quoting anonymous US "senior military officers", the NYT "revealed" that in the 1980s, the administration of US President Ronald Reagan covertly provided "critical battle planning assistance at a time when American intelligence knew that Iraqi commanders would employ chemical weapons in waging the decisive battles of the Iran-Iraq war". The story made a brief splash in the international media, then died.

Anatomy of a Victory: CIA's Covert Afghan War
By: Steve Coll, Washington Post, July 19, 1992
"In all, the United States funneled more than $ 2 billion in guns and money to the mujaheddin during the 1980s, according to U.S. officials. It was the largest covert action program since World War II."
A specially equipped C-141 Starlifter transport carrying William Casey touched down at a military air base south of Islamabad in October 1984 for a secret visit by the CIA director to plan strategy for the war against Soviet forces in Afghanistan.
Helicopters lifted Casey to three secret training camps near the Afghan border, where he watched mujaheddin rebels fire heavy weapons and learn to make bombs with CIA-supplied plastic explosives and detonators.
Also - come Thursday morning, the media and TOS and the rest of the fringe liberal loons will say it is all over and that Obama wiped the floor with Romney! But that is to be expected. This is what they do!
It will be real interesting to see how the polls fair the day after the election. I will be looking at the final polls and where they are in comparison to the real vote. AND, this year a lot of organizations will be doing the same thing.
Not much of a difference? you're lying or uninformed, man.Libertarian? Not much of a difference, except that Libertarianism has got about as far as it ever will with Ron Paul. Losing proposition.
