162. I'm not trying to insult you,

Please, go back and look at that post. Your entire first paragraph is one long sentence. The rest of your paragraphs are broken into two sentences at most. It makes for a confusing, bewildering word mash that I simply can't wade through.

As far as your question goes, where have I said that dictators are telling the truth and Obama is lying? Your original post to me in this subthread concerned weapons sales, and I was pointing out that yes, I thought it was a problem, especially since this administration was following in the footsteps of previous administrations by selling arms to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Libya, Egypt and elsewhere.

You seem to be taking a scattershot approach to your replies, throwing everything out there trying to find out what sticks, please, stay on topic. And please, construct your replies so they're not just a word salad. Thanks.

The very best thing about Ralph Nader& Naderites&3rd partyites is-NEVER AGAIN will it happen graham4anything Jan 2013 #204

That is one of the most bizarre conflation of two distictly different topics I've seen in a while, MadHound Jan 2013 #213

no it's not...think about it.Without Bush, no 9-11, no patriot act(ratified by entire congress) graham4anything Jan 2013 #215

And what, exactly, does that have to do with drone strikes ordered by Obama? MadHound Jan 2013 #217

It's congress that authorized and ordered it.Without terrorists, no war on terror graham4anything Jan 2013 #220

Alrighty then, MadHound Jan 2013 #225

without President Obama, you would have 1000 times more deaths graham4anything Jan 2013 #238

you are becoming a parody of yourself arely staircase Jan 2013 #222

Why do you say that? MadHound Jan 2013 #227

it is like you are just going through the motions now arely staircase Jan 2013 #231

Sorry that you find my posting so repetitive, MadHound Jan 2013 #236

It has to get paid somehow ecstatic Jan 2013 #335

Damn I wish I could get paid for protesting imperial wars, drone strikes MadHound Jan 2013 #347

I'm against all wars, drone strikes, etc. too ecstatic Jan 2013 #350

Sorry, but around here, as in real life, there is no right time or place to discuss these things, MadHound Jan 2013 #352

You forgot to include these in you OP. JoePhilly Jan 2013 #232

Joe, Joe, we can always count on you for the insubstantial post. MadHound Jan 2013 #237

Seemed an appropriate response given the OP's content. But I will add ... JoePhilly Jan 2013 #239

I love you!! :) Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #247

Yes, drones are considered a cheap shot by a lot of people, MadHound Jan 2013 #272

Give it a rest for a day or two, won't you? MineralMan Jan 2013 #273

As soon as the president ends these condemend drone strikes, stops killing innocents, MadHound Jan 2013 #275

I'm going to ignore you now. Not through the Ignore MineralMan Jan 2013 #278

So you're saying a cessation of war, restoration of our civil liberties, MadHound Jan 2013 #325

Remember when ProSense Jan 2013 #291

Yup. And President Obama is bringing those wars to an end. MineralMan Jan 2013 #330

Question for those who support unfettered use of drones to kill civilians: bighart Jan 2013 #274

Your post is strawman bullshit. ProSense Jan 2013 #276

Accidents happen. rug Jan 2013 #281

You're brilliant. n/t ProSense Jan 2013 #284

You're predictable. n/t rug Jan 2013 #287

Drone, it's the new ProSense Jan 2013 #290

Naturally, targetting civilians for death is anti-Obama. rug Jan 2013 #293

And making idiotic claims is so intelligent. n/t ProSense Jan 2013 #294

What idiotic claim? I'm all ears. rug Jan 2013 #295

The President is actually in his office right now drawning up a list of "innocents/kids" to kill. ProSense Jan 2013 #296

Uh, that's not an agument. It's not even good hyperbole. rug Jan 2013 #297

I forgot to add that everyone who voted for Obama has "blood on their hands" ProSense Jan 2013 #298

I see. You argue that people who oppose drone warfare must not vote for the Democratic candidate. rug Jan 2013 #299

No, ProSense Jan 2013 #300

I repeat, accidents happen. rug Jan 2013 #301

And I repeat: Drone, the new food of anti-Obama diners. n/t ProSense Jan 2013 #302

Sorry, this appears to be a circle that I will jerk myself out of. rug Jan 2013 #304

"I will jerk myself out" ProSense Jan 2013 #308

Perhaps if you would stop spewing it, the logic would be more apparent. rug Jan 2013 #309

Actually, ProSense Jan 2013 #312

Yes it is bullshit. After all, I was agreeing with you. rug Jan 2013 #314

Don't try to pass off your illogical claim onto me. n/t ProSense Jan 2013 #315

But it is. rug Jan 2013 #318

Where does it say ProSense Jan 2013 #320

Who do you think it's targetting? rug Jan 2013 #322

Clearly, ProSense Jan 2013 #324

Do you pay taxes? G_j Jan 2013 #303

Paying taxes means you support killing civilians? ProSense Jan 2013 #307

Of course we are talking a bout collateral damage G_j Jan 2013 #310

Maybe you ProSense Jan 2013 #311

As offensive as you find that statement G_j Jan 2013 #316

Wait, ProSense Jan 2013 #319

Well it really doesn't matter anyway does it? G_j Jan 2013 #323

Do what you think you should. No one is saying you need to suppress your convictions. randome Jan 2013 #328

For the record I did not state in my comment that civilians were being targeted, bighart Jan 2013 #353

We have to protect ourselves from the mighty Yemeni forces encircling us. Tierra_y_Libertad Jan 2013 #283

You're right, the President shouldn't dance at his inauguration. Arkana Jan 2013 #306

Nah, just stopping his misguided drone policy before it comes back to bite us would be enough. n/t MadHound Jan 2013 #326

K&R woo me with science Jan 2013 #313

truth.... mike_c Jan 2013 #327

So is Al-Qaeda. randome Jan 2013 #329

And we recruit more members for them with every drone strike. MadHound Jan 2013 #340

Like I said before, we are doing some good in the world. randome Jan 2013 #346

I'm not sure what you can't understand about not doing either, MadHound Jan 2013 #351

So tell Al-Quaida nicely to stop beheading, mutilating and crucifying people. randome Jan 2013 #356

Look, some of the most horrible violations against women occur in countries that are our allies, MadHound Jan 2013 #360

I don't see us using the military at home. randome Jan 2013 #361

That's the thing, the governments of these places are condemning our use of drones, MadHound Jan 2013 #362

Pakistan has a schizophrenic relationship with America. randome Jan 2013 #364

So I suppose that the UN and Somalia are schizophenic as well? MadHound Jan 2013 #367

Somalia is involved in a civil war so things are very messy there at the moment. randome Jan 2013 #370

Hey, the UN thinks that what we're doing with drones is wrong as well, MadHound Jan 2013 #373

I will point out the facts as I see them. I expect the same of you. randome Jan 2013 #383

Thousands die from gun violence in the US, yet you refuse to cooperate ecstatic Jan 2013 #331

Having a bit of short memory lapse are we? Buzz Clik Jan 2013 #344

We who, you've got a mouse in your pocket, or is that the royal "we" MadHound Jan 2013 #349

The Ocelot had the same reaction to your OP that I did. Ocelot's response was ridicule. Buzz Clik Jan 2013 #366

Then you, and by extension VO, obviously haven't gotten my OP at all, MadHound Jan 2013 #368

No. Buzz Clik Jan 2013 #369

It must be a terrible burden cliffordu Jan 2013 #339

Actually I find it quite easy to be critical of bad policy, MadHound Jan 2013 #343

Jeez, he's dancing. It's not like he was golfing or anything hughee99 Jan 2013 #341

Yeah, and hours before he went dancing, MadHound Jan 2013 #354

It's hard to disagree on that. hughee99 Jan 2013 #357

Some apes really like flinging excrement... MjolnirTime Jan 2013 #355

True that, but I prefer to be consistent. MadHound Jan 2013 #358
