busaunit 0 #1 January 4, 2006 http://www.jang.com.pk/thenews/dec2005-daily/25-12-2005/world/w2.htm not to sure what to make of this bit of news. But i think this means when given the chance US government chose war over peace. here is some of that articale: One month later in Baghdad, British journalists obtained the tape and transcript of the Saddam Hussein-April Glaspie meeting on July 25, 1990. In order to verify this astounding information, they attempted to confront Ms Glaspie as she was leaving the US embassy in Baghdad. Journalist 1: "Are the transcripts (holding them up) correct, Madam Ambassador?" (Ambassador Glaspie does not respond) Journalist 2: "You knew Saddam was going to invade (Kuwait), but you didn’t warn him not to. You didn’t tell him America would defend Kuwait. You told him the opposite - that America was not associated with Kuwait." Journalist 1: "You encouraged this aggression - his invasion. What were you thinking?" US Ambassador Glaspie: "Obviously, I didn’t think, and nobody else did, that the Iraqis were going to take all of Kuwait." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,026 #2 January 4, 2006 It's interesting but not exactly news. www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=363705#363705 http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2003-48,GGLD:en&q=glaspie+iraq Whether by incompetence or malice, the Bush I administration condoned Iraq's attack on Kuwait, then used it as a pretext for war. With the Bush family, incompetence can always be used as an excuse for bad behavior.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Sen.Blutarsky 0 #15 January 4, 2006 Quote(I can't, I'm going out of town) I sincerely hope they have palm trees and warm ocean breezes where you're headed. Have an extra rum drink if you'll be visiting such a place. My immediate destinations are all experiencing cold and crappy weather, although I did knowingly decline an invitation to present in Bermuda next week silly me Bluto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
