In defense of Trump's turnover

[Althea]

Picking the right person is... Obama failed to do it at the end of his Presidency

When Dems take over the Senate in November, we'll see if any of trump's nominees ever see the bench.

He just tapped a woman to head the CIA. First time for a woman to hold the position.

She won't make it.

He kept Iran at bay with U.S made chemical weapons under Reagan. Iraq wasn't a vacuum waiting to be filled by a majority religion.

The Dual Containment Policy worked for many years... and too many have forgotten that KSA, the Emirates and Kuwait opposed the invasion of Iraq.

If memory serves, most of the world was against the invasion. Halliburton and Blackwater were in favor, though

Halliburton lobbied to lift the sanctions on Iraq, Iran, Libya and the Stans.. Iraq in particular need oil services because their infrastructure and reserves were in such tough shape. Saddam had appealed to the US and UN in 1998 for Halliburton to come in an make repairs and upgrades that would keep those reserves from being ruined forever. The estimated cost was 20 billion.

Just curious...when your ditch was running, did it feed into a bigger stream somewhere?

it was ephemeral, not a tributary

A woman who supported torture, watched it and taunted the vics when they were gasping in pain. Whatta gal.

I KNEW I was forgetting someone!
Did you know according to wiki he's still alive? did he start AQI (AQIR) ?

Interesting in that it's a Sufi group.

It would feed into a small swamp which eventually would drain into a creek , probably underground. Ditch or no ditch everything eventually drains into the creek and into Cook Inlet even if I live 8,000 ft. or 20,000 ft. away from the creek.
I should be glad the EPA SWAT team didn't raid my garden while I sat back enjoying a cold beer after I deepened that little ditch by about 4 inches.

dump is doing exactly what the right wing republican party wants him to do.

He is hiring people they have been wanting in office for decades. Racist fucks who don't know anything but greed, hate and violence.

This is a reflection on the ENTIRE party, not just dump.

it looks like such groups were organized into becoming AQI

[christiefan915]

you are becoming little more then a peanut gallery.

Sotomayor has shown no incisive questioning,no real quality writings. no indications of a "wise latina"at all.
Further; ANYONE that leans on their ethnicity in a court of law is not objective by definition..she's a nebbish.
Kagan isn't much better

Gorsuch hasn't wowed the Court with his writings as a justice.

The racist republican white man would have people believe President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice started the mess in Libya.

They ignore all the Presidents before him who started this entire middle east madness.

Absolutely.

I posted an excerpt from this earlier today on this thread. Don't know if you saw it or not. I agree with it 100%, suspect that you will as well. Enjoy.
