ToadLicker Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Now that the cold was is over, could you list a few of these "many ways" ways? Say three or four. Cold war proxies were obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadLicker Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 I'll be a real sport here - how about only one or two of these "many ways" the US can exploit ME nations? Certainly, if there are "many", you should be able to rattle off the "highlights reel" with no problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying_Mollusk Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 You had an ample opportunity to foster reasonable discussion through shamrock's cordial question for your opinion. Instead you chose to antagonize someone again with another condecending line of inquiry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Well we sure aren't exploiting them for their oil. That was Wolfy's grand plan to have the Iraqi reconstruction "pay for itself". How's that working out by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead you chose to antagonize someone again with another condecending line of inquiry. Asking for an example of a claim isn't condecending. As for Shamrock's question - do you really believe it required an answer? Do you really believe they are so uninformed as to not know what the real probability of that question is? Maybe if he/she/it were a 10 year old, but he/she/it isn't 10 based on their language usage in past posts. OK though, I'll humor you. My opinion the chances of that happening is somewhere between very very slim and none. To put a number on it: 0.00001 A glance at this sat pic tell the whole "Iran (non)invasion" story...for anyone who is at least a bit cluefull that is.
