May 27, 2004Send the Peacekeepers! Umm, maybe not...Everyone who loves the idea of sending UN peacekeepers to take over in Iraq should read this story in the Washington Times.... On a side note, everyone have a great Memorial Day weekend. I take off today for an extended weekend myself. Wear your seat belts and be careful out there. IN MEMORIAM: Thomas H. Roberts b.(1804?) d. March 6, 1836, San Antonio TX. (One of many in a long list kept by my family.) Comments
Yeah those guys would be REAL successful in Iraq. Kerry is supposed to give a major foreign policy speech today, I wonder how heavily it will rely on the UN. Posted by: Scotch Drinker at May 27, 2004 09:54 AMDid Kerry ever say U.N. peacekeepers should be in Iraq? IIRC, he proposed a military role for NATO, but not the U.N. Posted by: Oberon at May 27, 2004 11:42 AMAgree, don't want UN control and taking over. Also, heard that more National Guard trained as mechanics are being ordered over. Oh, the grandiose delusions of all the chicken-hawks involved and what they have wrought on our fellow citizens [including their empire building spending. Posted by: Alex at May 27, 2004 03:05 PMThe Washington Times is basically a shill for Bush, ya'll. Not an especially great source. Posted by: carla at May 28, 2004 09:11 PMSo, Carla, do you believe that every paper with a conservative bent is a shill for Bush? Can we then take it as a given that every paper with a liberal bent is a shill for Kerry? For the record, early last year I published not one but two 700-word editorials in the Washington Times, both of them bashing the Bush administration on a specific domestic policy issue. And they let me have the last word. Not exactly a shill move. Posted by: Tully at June 1, 2004 11:49 AM |
