The UN made bogus demands.
I had an Iraqi friend who once told me that sure, Saddam was a bad guy, but there were others worse waiting in the wings.
 
Yup. Tidy little setup, wasn't it?

I don't understand why you want sanction to be lifted, it sounds like you must love Iran or North Korea.
 
Well, if Rush Limbaugh wants to side with the Taliban, then he should leave the country and go live there.

If sanctions do not work, then the next level of "encouragement" would be to go in with troops or to bomb certain strategic points of interest to get the message across. Why continue to put sanctions on for years if they do not work?

Rush is agreeing that troop levels should increase in Afghanistan to better protect themselves and go after the Taliban. Hardly siding with the Taliban. Indeciveness is costly in Afghanistan, especially when it starts at the top. I question whether if Obama is actually on the side of the Taliban and not of the troops and Generals who are there to win the war in Afghanistan.
 
Even George Will has the intelligence and guts to oppose troop increases in Afghanistan. The Russians fought over there for years and ended up pulling out.

North Korea? It could leading to Korean War II and NK has nuclear weapon so it could make situation so worse for US, South Korea and Japan so we are better to put sanction so there's nothing could you do unless NK declare war by themselves.

For Iran, I don't know how they do work and it does make situation so worse as well.
 
Some bloodthirsty buggers in here, lol.
I am glad Obama uses diplomacy of relying on sources proven to be pathological liars.

Congress voted to go after al-Qaeda and Afghanistan. They already knew before hand about prevous history of a Soviet attempt to win a war.
 
Because they were given deliberately falsified information.
 
Oh come on. Weapons of mass destruction?
I know this is a sore point between us, but I will throw te Downing Street Memo on the table again.
