Republican Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson appeared on The Ed Show where he spoke about President Obama's unprecedented agreement with Iran. Wilkerson, unlike most Republicans and quite a number of Democrats, was able to see what the agreement if fulfilled would mean.
"Ed I don't normally codify or describe anything as historic," Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said. "But this is in the category with Kissinger and Nixon opening China, with Camp David under Carter, with the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt and so forth, George Bush's reunification of Germany and retention in NATO. We have a deal here that if it's consummated in the complexity that it will need to be by the end of June, if it's consummated this is a deal that has win win written all over it."
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson then went on to enumerate all the strong compliance features found in the agreement. Wilkerson had a prescient statement when asked what would happen if the deal unraveled.
"I think it is going to be a much more dangerous region for sure," Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said. "I am not one to go immediately to war. I would go to some sort of containment policy. And try to do something about it through that policy rather than going to war. But I know what my political party wants. My political party, at least some of them—the 47 for example who signed the letter to the Ayatollah—they want war."
i believe if republicans get their way and we are forced back into the Middle East smiles from Cheyney to the Koch's would abound. but for America and Americans we won't be smiling because of the dead relatives and children, because of the bill being footed by the working poor and the cutting of social services to the elderly, disabled, and retiree's, not to mention broken families and hearts, while republican smile and high five on the way to the bank.
last republican president a VP
Cheyney,
G W Bush,
On May 2 1973, Richard Nixon was still reeling from the Watergate scandal. American troops were on their way home from Vietnam. And outside Houston, in Texas, a 26-year-old named George Bush, a lieutenant in the National Guard, reported for drill duty as usual at Ellington air force base.
That, at any rate, is the impression given by military payroll records released by the Bush administration on Tuesday. Apparently, however, Lt Bush's superiors at Ellington didn't see it that way. In an annual evaluation of his performance - dated, coincidentally, the very same day, May 2 - they conceded that they couldn't actually evaluate his performance, because they hadn't seen him for months.
what no AWOL or UA charges??? for the trolls no Pres. didn't serve in Vietnam either i would think mostly because he was born Aug. 4th 1961 6 years before i came home from Vietnam.
