Really?
In 1984, Rev. Wright and Farrakhan went to Libya to personally meet with Qaddafi.

Clinton blocked Farrakhan from getting more than $1 billion in donations from Qaddafi in 1996.

GW Bush - well you got one of three correct, which in just about any school around is an F-.

No in 1984, Rev. Dr. Wright was invited to join an interfaith delegation to visit Libya in celebration of its 15th Jamahiriya. He did so. He did not meet with, nor has he ever met with Gadhafi, and he had to leave the delegation a week early to satisfy other family commitments.

You have not disagreed with my points , but rather have applied the usual obfuscations when confronted with reality.

Come on back after you get your diploma.
Why don't you come back when you're not making excuses for your partisan distortion of the facts? You are the one who made a lame attempt at making war-mongering and imperialian acts mainly of the left when history tells us that's simply not true.

And believe me, some partisan hack making asinine, inane, baseless comments about diplomas means nothing to me.

Nixon also ESCALATED the war and made incursions into two other countries so please don't try to excuse his war-mongering. There is also some evidence among the writings of his henchmen the end of the war was manipulated time wise to best benefit his re-election campaign.

BTW: Eisenhower sent advisors to Vietnam so don't try to palm the start of US involvment off on JFK.

Most of the Independents that voted for him will not do so again.

But, we will be civilized and do all this with our vote, and maybe this time Democrats will not block the military vote from over seas.
Democrat and cilvilized in the same sentence. Oxymoron.
