I apologize for getting your name wrong, AZ, and I corrected it. I have no idea why I thought your name was Art. :)

Nice try. You have been challenged to back up your claims. It's not her job to support your argument, it's YOURS! Unless you do, I call bullshit!

Your comment just shows your arrogance and defense of the other poster as she has shown laziness to support her charges or to look for more honest comments than what she has posted. Speak of challenges and she is the first to ignore a challenge, not me.

Not a problem. I maintain however that the willingness to project us as honest and not arrogant is a sign of strength, not weakness. I can't change your mind and I guarantee you won't change mine, Misty.

OK Madam Lazy, here is one example of several. You can find truth about Iraq if you really try. It does take a bit more energy than just sitting there and saying others are totally wrong with their posts. Give truth a try, it is easy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Opera

[h=1]Operation Opera[/h] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Operation Opera (Hebrew: אופרה‎),[SUP][1][/SUP] also known as Operation Babylon,[SUP][2][/SUP] was a surprise Israeli air strike carried out on 7 June 1981, which destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor under construction 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) southeast of Baghdad.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] The operation came after Iran's unsuccessful Operation Scorch Sword operation had caused minor damage to the same nuclear facility the previous year, but had subsequently been repaired by French technicians. Operation Opera, and related Israeli government statements following it, established the Begin Doctrine, which explicitly stated the strike was not an anomaly, but instead “a precedent for every future government in Israel.” Israel's counter-proliferation preventive strike added another dimension to their existing policy of deliberate ambiguity, as it related to the nuclear capability of other states in the region.[SUP][6][/SUP]

Yes, our good friend and ally, the ones who stole plutonium from us and hid their nuclear program from us.

There is no true evidence that the Israeli's stole from the US plant and some how managed to get large packages out of the plant in radiation free containers and shipped clear around to Israel. Time for fact and such that may actually show the US allowed this to happen and it was not stolen at all, if it even happened.

Did Israel steal bomb-grade uranium from the United States?

Victor GilinskyRoger J. Mattson



(Closing paragraphs)

Time for real transparency. It's fair to ask, in view of the other losses in the US nuclear weapons complex, why the CIA and others singled out NUMEC for grave suspicion as the source for Israeli bomb-grade uranium. In brief, the reasons are these: NUMEC's unexplained losses were a significantly larger proportion of its throughput of highly enriched uranium than was the case for other firms that dealt with nuclear materials. Sloppy accounting and lax security made the plant easy to rob without detection. NUMEC had commercial relationships with Israel’s defense and nuclear establishments and regularly made sizeable nuclear shipments to Israel, which at that time were not checked by the AEC. NUMEC’s owners and executives had extremely close ties to Israel, including to high Israeli intelligence and nuclear officials. Israel had strong motives to obtain the highly enriched uranium before it was producing enough plutonium for weapons. High-level Israeli intelligence operatives visited the NUMEC plant. Israeli intelligence organizations were used to running logistically complicated, risky operations to support nuclear weapons development, and it would have been very much out of character for them to pass up an opportunity like this. On top of all this, records show the CIA believed its 1968 environmental sample taken in Israel evidenced an enrichment level unique to Portsmouth.

Nearly 50 years have passed since the events in question. It is time to level with the public. At this point it is up to the president himself to decide whether to declassify completely the NUMEC documents, all of which are over 30 years old. He should do so. We know that is asking a lot given the president’s sensitivity about anything involving Israel, and especially anything relating to Israeli nuclear weapons. But none of his political concerns outweigh his responsibility to tell the US public the historical truth it deserves to know.

So Europe DOESN'T have a leading role in the world? And shouldn't we appreciate it? I'm not sure what you see wrong with this..

Yes, one of the reasons for anti-Americanism in the rest of the world is that arrogance - the we're better than anybody else. And why do so many Americans think they are the only country with freedom of speech?!

I was just answering AZJim's question, but in my earlier post, QuickSilver, I mentioned that I would like the Pres to feel the same about us too. I personally didn't know Europe had a leading role in the world, until Pres. Obama mentioned it in his speech.

You didn't know Europe had a leading role in the world? I'm sure that all the people in Europe would confirm it. AND HOW does acknowledging that Europe has a leading role in the world make us have LESS of a leading role?

Didn't mean that in an arrogant way, Ameriscot....I thought we were all doing our part, and didn't know Europe was being highlighted as leading the way, until Pres. Obama mentioned it, unless other countries are saying the same thing, and I missed it.

As I mentioned to Ameriscot, no I didn't know Europe had a leading role, I thought we were all doing our part in the world.

Your paraphrasing is the problem. He said "a world leader", not THE world leader and it IS. See, Misty, that is the problem many are picking ever single thing he says and making of it things not contained in his words. It's called dislike, hatred, racism, anti-Democrat etal depending on who is doing the "nit picking".

What he said AZ Jim was "In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world." I didn't know Europe had a leading role in the world, I thought we were all working together in the world, each doing our parts to help make the world a better place for all.

Misty, A leading role!!!!!! Nitpick all you must, but it doesn't make him say what he didn't say.
 
What a bunch of nit picking dummies we have here. The US would be a lot better off if we could go back to the way it was prior to the 1970's when POLITICAL PARTY was a much smaller item in discussions. We need to do that again and get our country back to working as the Constitution says and just forget party this and party that directing our voting. We should all vote our own personal ways and not because some not truly a official voting source tells us to vote a certain way. That is probably the most destructive thing happening to the US these days. I have said this before on this forum, we need to get the "party" for each candidate off the official ballots. Let people vote for the persons and not for the "party". Then we might get some better people elected. Restricting lengths of service might also help as shorter terms might bring us younger and better Senators and Representatives.
