Re: MASSIVE EMBASSY
You simply replace the foul thing that's there with an ordinary sized embassy staffed with a normal State Department Ambassador and staff, like is done in so many other countries by so many other other countries. That's how. Why is that so hard to see?
Why does the size of the embassy mean so much to you?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Re: MASSIVE EMBASSY
What Cheney's gang has created is nothing less than a Monstrous Insult to all other Nations on the Earth. The Embassy portion of the Fortress only occupies a small corner somewhere, sanitized and safely walled off for presentation to visiting dignitaries. The people you find there will not have any idea what is going on in the other part of this structure. The rest of the Complex is nothing less than a super secret Weapon of Mass Destruction, connected to Washington, Houston, Cheyenne Mountain, Camp David and who knows what other places around the globe, with fault-proof redundant EMF-proof communication lines. There are most certainly numerous nuclear missile launching tubes buried deep within its imposing countenance, some even aimed at targets within the United States. Blackwater projects can be run from inside with impunity. The Shadow Government of rulers that Cheney set up (remember?) are there in place and have the utmost in luxurious accommodations, food and drink & various other salacious activities catered to whatever their perverted whims may desire, including one-way views of the Rendition Rooms of exquisite torturing techniques constructed next to laboratories equipped with the latest in high-tech weapon development. Compared to Cheney, Felix Mengele was a mere amateur.
Do you feel OK? Have you missed any of your meds?
From this post I am beginning to wonder.

Re: MASSIVE EMBASSY
Coyote,
You whined, cried, and bellyached that there are already too many political threads in EvC.
Yet you add your two cents in this POLITICAL thread that will just serve to EXPAND the presence of political discussion in EvC?
Hypocrite much?
I didn't start the thread.
But I note you are willing to try and silence my voice on it.
Typical liberal attitude. Perhaps you'll be calling my posts hate speech next?

Re: MASSIVE EMBASSY
Because the portion of it that is not being used as an Embassy is instead a Fortress built out of Dick Cheney's and others' desires to reach hegemony over the oil-producing region. It is an insulting, arrogant augmentation to the smaller structure for the indigenous people living in that country. The hatred many of them have for the USA is not being quelled or mollified - instead it is being inflamed and exacerbated. This is not how you win back the hearts & minds of a people who have lost trust in you as a nation. It is directly opposite the humility needed. ...
I want the Embassy rebuilt in Bagdad proper, in a small, modest, peaceful form with a normal sized staffing. And I want the Iraqi citizens to have the delicious privilege of destroying Cheney's Folly with whatever it takes, because I have no idea how far down into the earth it goes. It will be a good opportunity for them to do an underground nuclear test. Letting them destroy it totally will do wonders at restoring good will towards the US. I say move the real Embassy back into town, where you can meet with the people.
Put down the kool-aid and step away from the keyboard!
You have so many leftist talking points in just this one passage I don't know where to begin. So I won't.
But have you forgotten that in that part of the world strength is respected, while weakness is scorned and challenged?
Your touchy-feely leftist approach may be the exact wrong way to successfully deal with that area.

Re: Still an infected monkey driver . . .
You're right.
We should encourage the Arabs to slaughter all the Jews.
(At least that seems to be what you are advocating.)

Re: Still an infected monkey driver . . .
Surely you have read my posts. I think my record here on the forum has been consistently "peace-nik-istic."
I prefer no one be slaughtered. (Except for war criminals and human rights violators)
You are forgetting that many of Israel's neighbors have sworn to slaughter the Jews, and "push them into the sea."
You can be "peace-nik-istic" but try also to be "real-istic."

Re: Still an infected monkey driver . . .
The "push them into the sea" was not a recent quote from Iran.
It is an older quote going back at least to 1957, and Abdul Nasser. He also said, in 1967, "We are going to grind them into the ground. We are going to push them into the sea. We're going to wipe out Israel--no one will ever remember them again."
This was shortly before the Arab countries launched a war on Israel.

Re: Still an infected monkey driver . . .
The Palestinian Authority has even recognized Israel.
From Wiki:
Palestinian legislative elections took place on 25 January 2006. Hamas was victorious and Ismail Haniyeh was nominated as Prime Minister on 16 February 2006 and sworn in on 29 March 2006. However, when a Hamas-led government was formed, Israel, the United States, Canada, and the European Union froze all funds to the Palestinian Authority, after Hamas refused to recognize Israel, renounce violence, and agree to past agreements. These countries view Hamas as a terrorist organization.
In December 2006, Ismail Haniyeh, Prime Minister of the PA, declared that the PA will never recognize Israel: "We will never recognize the usurper Zionist government and will continue our jihad-like movement until the liberation of Jerusalem."
