Comments on: Obama Blames 9/11 On Lack Of Empathy http://mccainblogs.com/2008/07/14/obama-blames-911-on-lack-of-empathy/ Blogging for a McCain Victory!

Trying to understand why those fanatics attacked us is such a backward looking strategy that isn't useful in making future decisions. History doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes with itself. I mean look at our history, when England used to have a propped up regime in North-America we fought back, our revolutionaries overthrew their system to create the United States of America, a government that reflects our values. Live Free or Die! That is a motto that we in America do live and die by. Look too at Iran's history. We had a propped up regime in Iran, backing the Shah. The revolutionaries overthrew that government and vanquished our embassy taking American hostages that were held for 444 days and they created a democracy that reflects their values. The fact is that no country, whether its the U.S. or Iran, no country and no true patriot of a country will ever allow another to attempt any form of repression, so long as the meaning behind Live Free or Die has a basis in our hearts. Since the topic of the "Useless libaral rag" of a president that we had when Iranian revolutionaries invaded our Embassy was brought up, I thought I'd post some paragraphs on what occurred in Iraq during those volatile times. Saddam Hussein in the past was seen by U.S. intelligence services as a bulwark of anti-communism in the 1960s and 1970s. His first contacts with U.S. officials date back to 1959, when he was part of a CIA-authorized six-man squad tasked with ousting then Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Karim Qassim. The provision of chemical precursors from United States companies to Iraq was enabled by a Ronald Reagan administration policy that removed Iraq from the State Department's list State Sponsors of Terrorism. Leaked portions of Iraq's "Full, Final and Complete" disclosure of the sources for its weapons programs shows that thiodiglycol, a substance needed to manufacture mustard gas, was among the chemical precursors provided to Iraq from US companies such as Alcolac International and Phillips. Both companies have since undergone reorganization and Phillips, once a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum and now part of ConocoPhillips, an American oil and energy company while Alcolac International has since dissolved and reformed as Alcolac Inc.[14] The problem with Obama is that he thinks he’s smart enough to understand why something can go wrong like 9/11.
