1. Current administration is not in appeasement mode because they want to look like the opposites of the last administration... Current administration is in appeasement mode because "blow up first, ask questions later" DIDN'T WORK. It's time to try something else, like rationalizing with these human beings... That's what makes us different from the animals... LOGIC. Not following one's primal instincts.

2. You mean to tell me that "you got that right" added something to the conversation?

It is in the appeasment mode.
Many countries including Poland and the Czech Republic have taken big risks by siding with the United States and the cancellation of the missile shield (good idea) was not compensated by another mutual defense deal (bad idea).
Just because the last administration didn't get it right doesn't mean the current one is getting it right by going too far the other way.
Domestically I think the current administration is doing rather well or as it at least trying to do the right things. Same with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But as for other foreign policy, not so good.

I never disputed that they were in appeasement mode... I just gave the reasoning as to WHY...


I also never said that the current administration was doing the right thing in their course on foreign policy... Just that they were doing something different from the last administration.

Siding with Hugo Chavez and his buddies in the Latin American Socialista Club who are some of the most anti-US spewing individuals out there against a country that legally enforced it's constitution is appeasement. Considering Honduras has been a long standing ally in CA to the US and considering who the other guys party with ; Iran, North Korea, Russia etc, and it dosen't smack of appeasement to you? Okay then.

Logic in the real world is much different than logic in the classroom. You don't give something for nothing.Concessions are fine but you need a return on them not a maybe (the missile shield). If you don't play your hand right you end mistrusted by allies and appearing to be indesicive to your enemies, this administration like the Carter Administration appears not to grasp the concept.....looking instead for ....."We are the World Kumbya Moments" and revealing in their own manufactured utopia.

Do you read the posts before you post? Or do you just type what you think sounds nice and condescending? I CLEARLY said in post number 83 "I never disputed that they were in appeasement mode." So... In other words... YES, it DOES "smack of appeasement" to me. I was simply saying that I applaud their efforts for trying something different.

I'll be dipped if you DID NOT say they were not in appeasement mode.Read your own words (above) Junior.

Back Peddle much?

It's "pedal."


Read the post 03... I said "Current administration is not in appeasement mode because they want to look like the opposites of the last administration... Current administration is in appeasement mode because "blow up first, ask questions later" DIDN'T WORK."


I gave the reasoning for them being in appeasement mode.


Just in case you missed it. "Current administration is in appeasement mode because "blow up first, ask questions later" DIDN'T WORK"

Maybe not but blow up first usually works in most arenas
I used it for 20 years and I'm still here

Where do you live again, wolfen. Heh.

Why ya wanna know where he lives? Payin him a vist? ....Gimmie a date I'll bring a lawn chair,beer and pop corn I wanna see that.

Or are you making another of your vague references about your disagreement with the war in Iraq?......of which you have no practical knowledge. Or any hot zone for that matter.

Whatever.......

Sorry for my grammatical error ....my bad. Thanks for pointing that out.....Teach....errrrr.

So I get now. You contend that your statement does not deny appeasement it simply justifies it. Ok.Six of one half dozen of the other really....."as long as we offend no one."

Back PEDAL......from you? Not if you had a veteran fire team supported by section of Ma Dueces...there Junior.

You pop in here with your little blustering comments every time your little senseabilties get offended...and drag everything off topic.

The topic is Honduras.Stay on it. Or GTFO.
