I do remember that... people I know are still over there... but we didn't keep many troops there for long, and we sure jumped on Iraq rather quick-like.
As to Ace:
1) I agree with willravel... the last one worked great (though he was MUCH better at PR)
2) Also agreed... the UN doesn't seem to favor our actions for the most part, and generally, we don't seem to give a damn anymore.
3) Oddly enough, 3 for 3 with will... I ALSO voted for Badnarik (1 of <160 in my country, in fact). Every candidate gets votes... Reps and Dems will ALWAYS account for >40% each of votes regardless... too many party ticketers.
4) I wonder where most of his families money came from... oh wait, Oil? I wonder where those oil relationships came from... oh wait, Saudi Arabia? It's ponderous man, really ponderous. Also a thing to note about wealthy people... they tend to use their money to make more money. There's isn't an upper cap, exactly.
5) Who knows... luck? Money? Personally, I'd go with random chance on that one. At the time, even the balls out conspiracy theorists weren't entirely sure what had just happened.
6) I don't get it... would there have to be some reason for that? I'm not a fan of Gore or Kerry either, mind you... but I don't see this as an important point at all...
7) Again I tend to agree with Will... I don't honestly know anymore than I know it's true about Bush. Maybe, maybe not... perhaps he's just along for the money train.
8) Maybe because thoughts like this are rarely taken seriously. As it has been the case primarily in this thread so far. Maybe because money and power are major players in what the people are allowed to know. That's not conspiracy, that's just cold, hard fact.
9) Again, Will seems to have hit it on the head.
10) I vote for the former, but it could be the latter as well, who knows. Maybe he really doesn't know he is just a puppet. Hell, the man can barely get out a proper sentence in English half the time... I'm not convinced either way...
