I'm sure many people not interested in these issues would find the videos totally boring. | | | Community Moderator with 48,135 posts. | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Central USA Experience: Need no stinking badges | | Quote:

Huffpost is a far left moonbat blog. Youtube is a gathering site for poo poo of all sorts, not a repository for journalistic integrity of any sort whatsoever.
Youtube is only useful for comedy and music videos. 
But for you .... I'll take a brief look.

The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take

I cannot disagree whole heartedly with Powell. Drawdowns will be necessary, and I believe that they will take place. I also agree with him that the Afghanistan/Pakistan border issue is extremely volitile and serious. A surge there would probably be a good idea while we still have support from the Pakistani government. As Pakistan changes governmental Administrations, our stance may be weakened. We should strike that iron while it is hot in the fire.
However, I do not consider Powell to be a Conservative on most issues, and, while I personally like the guy and have great respect for him, I would not place great emphasis on his political recommendations. And as far as I know, he's been removed from "the know" on military issues for several years now.
Sam Nunn is just a douche. 
And I have never been highly impressed with the Aspen Institute.

I agreed. Perhaps you didn't read my post but simply assumed that I would disagree?  | | | Moderator - Gone, but never forgotten with 48,309 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Great White North (WI) Experience: Getting somewhere I hope |
