    I'll just take Bill Clinton, for example. WIth the MILLIONS that cat has, no dam reason for us to foot a 1 million dollar bill for ol Bill.

    Bush and Carter were both worthless but at least Carter comes at a bargain, in comparison.

    Do you watch the news and/or read a newspaper?

    I'm sorry to see that George Bush Senior is sick,.. I think he was a good President, and underappreciated. Handled the first Gulf war expertly, and oversaw the collapse of the Soviet Union, without over-provoking the bear.

    He didn't finish the job. It's what got us back in it- a rich boy's revenge for his dad.

    Then why did you create this thread?

    No, I think that's bullshit. Bush Sr. left Saddam Hussein hogtied, he wasn't even allowed to fly a plane in most of his own country. The second Gulf war was all about oil, W pushed by his handlers, used 9/11 and American patriotism, as their opportunity to seize Iraqi oilfields . Most here won't like the rest of what I think, so I'll stop.

    Uh, to talk? You've confused yourself and gotten tripped up. Let me recap. I DO watch news AND read a newspaper BUT THEY DO NOT TALK; hence, the thread.

    Stop if you choose but we can take it if you want to continue. I always wondered why we DIDN'T seize the oilfields and take over control but didn't think we did. Did we?

    You do realize that the Federal government wastes more in an hour than what it costs to protect our former presidents. Then again, maybe not.
