Based on these last responses of yours, I need to either know your
age, or end this discussion.




I'm 53.

How old are you?

I'm 52. You've shocked me. I'm surprised you were an adult in the period
between the REAL Bush's presidency and now, and somehow managed not to
notice some contradictions to what YOU have said in the past day or two. For
instance, we OWNED the borders of Iraq in almost total safety during those
years.

What on earth are you talking about, "we owned the borders of Iraq" (during
the Clinton years)? We had exactly NO troops on the ground there at that time,
and exactly NO control over its borders.

And now, we have troops there, many of whom spend their days doing
nothing but searching vehicles. Controlling the smuggling of weapons would
have been quite a bit easier if we'd done it BEFORE your president turned
the place into a free-for-all.

Reality-check time... we didn't have ANY control over it when Saddam was in
power.
