I gotta admit that if drugs were legal and someone like Pfizer could have been buying all that poppy, it would make for quite a different landscape over there.
There are plenty of legal uses for opiates in the world.

But you were all for the way the previous administration - led by geniuses like Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld and Paul Bremer - screwed everything into the ground. Be honest.
The aims were correct and laudable. The execution was often faulty, because of mistaken assumptions and the inevitable fog of war. We did liberate tens of millions from Saddam's vicious tyranny, and we stopped him and Quadafi from developing nuclear weapons. I'd like to have seen royalties from Iraq's oil (to pay for our work), and I think leaving Iraq virtually in the hands of Iran is going to be a huge mistake. But that's the current crop of geniuses.

Don't forget those WMD's. And the 4000 troops who died for a lie.

More talking points. Conservatives have been trying to rewrite history by saying Bush never set a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq. They are also ignoring what the majority in this country want as well. Not to mention how Afghanistan was all but back burnered to fight a made up war in Iraq to begin with.
'Back burnered' is why Afghanistan is still a mess and why we are still there. We should partition the place and let people vote with their feet.

Morphine takes fourth place behind most other opiates.

And another thing.

You know the REAL reason why people like Mr Lynn don't post "over here"? The REAL reason they don't come "over here" any more is because they might be reminded of their cheerleading for one of the most horrendously incompetent, corrupt and destructive administrations in history.
Go ahead, check it out. All of those folks have not left the forum - in fact they 're still here on the other side, talking about the weather, TV shows and bluetooth devices. They don't want to accept responsibility for the havoc and wreckage that their willful ignorance enabled over the past decade +.

Rubbish. I don't come over here much because there is no point in endless back-and-forth wranging with rude, ad-hominem-slinging leftists ike 'mick e', with whom there is no prospect of rational discussion, or of changing what passes for a mind.
But thanks, 'mick e', for this description of the current administration, led (from behind) by The Puppet President: "the most horrendously incompetent, corrupt and destructive administration in history."

If there's no point in it, then why did you just engage in same?
Seriously - mick e has openly criticized Obama on things warranted. Things like continued domestic spying and other illegal surveillance, violations of civil rights, escalation of global instability through illegal drone attacks, etc. - all programs that Obama promised to end when he ran for president. mick e criticizes him - and will NOT be voting for him, btw - because he has taken the time to understand what is REALLY going on in the world, and what the ramifications of an imposed global regime truly are.
You seem to be happy to play "team ball" and in your comic hypocrisy deem Obama as a "puppet president" all while turning a blind eye to the one that defined the term. The one that you heartily supported.
Take the time really appreciate the truth, Mr Lynn. Take some time to understand that for the smorgasbord of abuses that are occurring now under Obama, it was the Bush Administration that set the table and cooked the meal.
Have a great day!

I posted the video of Lara Logan's speech because I thought some here might be interested in hearing a candid account by an MSM reporter which explicitly contradicts the line the administration has been peddling.
George W. Bush was (and is) no puppet. The folks who "set the table and cooked the meal" were the Islamofascists, and they are still in the kitchen, preparing tasty new poisons for the head-in-the-sand liberals who think we can retreat from the world and be safe.

Did you seriously break out the old "Islamofascist" saw?
REALLY????
Re: Lara Logan (CBS) on al Qaeda and Afghanistan - Speedy - 10-12-2012
Fascism brings to mind the Bush Administration.
