ORIGINAL: LaTigresse In January of 1992 I could not have cared less about the Clintons. I was busy worrying about loved ones in a war zone that Bush thought was a good idea and sold to the US based on lies and half truths. I am basing my opinions of the two viable candidates on extensive research done this year. Donald Trump isn't fit to lead a starving kitten to a t-bone. Hell, based on what I've seen and read, he'd probably put the kitten in a gunny sack with a chunk of concrete, blame the kitten, bill it's family for the sack and concrete, eat the steak, then deny the whole thing ever happened. When cornered he'd either say he didn't mean it or blame someone else. Yeah, I'll take Hillary every day all day. You are aware that we were not fighting anyone in Jan of 92? In fact, at that time the conventional wisom was to gut the military so we could spend the "peace dividend " on other things. Bush lied? Youmean that Iraq didn't really invade Kuwait? I think you are more than alittle confused. Yes, I read and responded too quickly. While generic dude was on active duty in 92, I jumped to his 2002-2003 tour, for some ridiculous reason. 20 years of being a military spouse it's rather easy to fuck up the when and where dates when I'm multitasking and my other tasks are actually important. As for Bush, perhaps it's more realistic to say those he was listening to lied. W was just too stupid to know. But that was a different time frame than you inferred. To know where GD was stationed at that time (92) I'd have to interrupt his timed test and even I am not that ditzy at this time of day. I infered nothing, I stated the time and what happened. So W's advisors lied to him about Kuwait being invaded, and I know exactly were I was in 92 and what was bein done to the military. No, they lied in 1990 about 250,000 Iraqi troops with 1500 tanks on the Saudi border, ready to invade SA. Other sources reported there was nothing but desert sand. They used a PR firm and the daughter of Saud Nasir al-Sabah, Kuwait’s ambassador to the US. Her testimony had been organized by a group called Citizens for a Free Kuwait, to testify in congress which was all over western media for weeks and all done by a front for the Kuwaiti government. She lied through her teeth. Additionally, Saddam had made it clear many times through channels, that he was getting out of Kuwait but the news was never allowed in most western press so the coalition could go into Kuwait to kick Saddam out and...more then decimate his army. Whatever was done to the military prior to 1/93...it's all on GHWB...not Clinton.
