Wait for it ..... ..... it's Jimmy Carter's fault (freeps on Iraq)
To: Charlesj
Okay lets imagine Iraq does turn into an islamic theocracy (and this is highly unlikely given facts on the ground). Whose fault would it really be?

Well it's clear that Islamic Iran is responsible for helping the terrorists in Iraq and forcing Iraq to become an islamic theocracy.

In other words, if Iran was secular this wouldn't be a problem. Any blame for an Iraqi theocracy lies squarely at the feet of Jimmy Carter for allowing an Islamic Iran to emerge. Also if Clinton had actually pursued Bin Laden this wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

Just think the liberals should know this before they try to spin the situation (seems they have started).

3. "If Iran was Secular"
Yeah, why the hell didn't Jimmy Carter undo thousands of years of religious doctrine in four years? Fucking liberals and their peace and prosperity. All the fuck they want is peace. Lets be good conservative Americans and kill and slaughter and free people. Praise the Lord!

Any bets on Iraq becoming an Islamic Theocracy? Come on conservatives, come to bosshog with your bets. Ignorant fucking morons.

9. Iran had a democratically elected leader in 1953
So had THAT experiment been allowed to continue there is a very good chance Iran would be a thriving democracy today instead of a Theocracy. Wait, thats no good, since the US and British intelligence overthrew Mohamed Mossedegh, we cant blame that one on Carter. I guess they have to go back to the drawing board on this one, or they would if logic and reality had any meaning whatsoever to them. As it is they will probably simply repeat like the propaganda parrots they are whatever their PP superiors, Limbaugh and Hannity TELL them to repeat, bypassing all rational thought completely

12. Um, it's JOHNSON'S fault
and before that Kennedy. Yeah, that's it. Don't forget Truman now. Oh and definitely include FDR, that old Socialist.

They have a lovely time leapfrogging over every Republican prez and heading straight for the Dems.

Gee, I guess the Republicans in history just had no effect at all. They must have been placemarkers. Riiiight.

13. George HW Bush hadn't been profiteering from Saudi Arabia at the
expense of our national energy/national security policy, we wouldn't be spilling American blood for dwindling oil supplies. If Bush/Reagan hadn't manipulated the 1980 election and gotten Iran to hold the hostages until after the election, Carter would have won and devoted a 2nd term to getting more resources to the Department of Energy (remember, that was a cabinet level position under Carter), developed alternative/renewable energy sources, and promoted conservation strategies.

Poppy Bush saw a great opportunity to keep us dependent on ME oil and make himself and his Houston cronies some really big bucks these past 30 years by keeping us dependent on ME oil. They gave us "Morning in America"....now we've got Bush the Dimmer presiding over "Evening in America".

But I can't expect anyone at Free Republic to figure this out. History only started 11/2000.
