Even Saddam himself didn’t say he I dont have them. <br /><br />If you want to blame anyone the blame belongs entirely on Saddam himself. You are not looking at the war long term. The amount of large scale 9-11 attacks in the USA zero.<br /><br />What we are left with is Irans asymmetrical warfare. It took a genuine leader to put Iran on notice. Its proxies are having cashflow problems. Hezbollah will have to smuggle more drugs. Iran is over extended and it has a plethora of nationalities more deserving than Psuedostinians for national status. The Azeris want to unite with their peers.<br /><br />Whatever criticism of Bolton you might have is one thing.

As a result, he curtailed an objective investigation criminal proceedings on the facts of unlawful activities of persons associated with the company Burisma Holdings Limited (Cyprus), including the son of the specified high-ranking official,” Shokin said.</i><br /><br />More at the above link.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-37904414768544418522020-02-01T12:53:32.074-06:002020-02-01T12:53:32.074-06:00The Washington Cesspool -- wide and deep. **sigh*...The Washington Cesspool -- wide and deep. **sigh**Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-67216201515085894442020-02-01T12:11:37.558-06:002020-02-01T12:11:37.558-06:00...with good reason...

"There is no need for more evidence to conclude that the president withheld United States aid, at least in part, to pressure Ukraine to investigate the Bidens; the House managers have proved this with what they call a ‘mountain of overwhelming evidence.’ There is no need to consider further the frivolous second article of impeachment that would remove the president for asserting his constitutional prerogative to protect confidential conversations with his close advisers.<br />“It was inappropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent and to withhold United States aid to encourage that investigation," he continued. "When elected officials inappropriately interfere with such investigations, it undermines the principle of equal justice under the law. But the Constitution does not give the Senate the power to remove the president from office and ban him from this year’s ballot simply for actions that are inappropriate."</i>Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-9522464095476829282020-01-31T09:11:47.168-06:002020-01-31T09:11:47.168-06:00Presidents act with "mixed motives" all ...Presidents act with "mixed motives" all the time.
