QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) quorum... thanks spellchecker Anytime.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) Of course, you forgot the part about France, Russia, and Germany lobbying the UN to allow an increase in Iraq's oil output from 700k to 2 million barrels/day and the name of the (Republican-controlled) country that opposed it. Don't deflect. Answer the question. Who was it? It's already been answered for you. The Vice President. Dick Cheney. And the country that opposed it would be the United States, under the Clinton administration.

No I mean name the famous Bush administration member who actively lobbied for an end to sanctions to Iraq in 1999.

Is quarem a word?

Is it complete with the local Vatican City time clock?

Wait, you mean there's a middle ground between doing nothing and invading a country?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 09:13 AM) And without the embargo, Saddam would've made even more money off of oil sales. Is it the fault of the US and UK that people will try to take advantage of the embargo? If anything, this argument further supports the notion that sanctions and the OFFP were not viable solutions to dealing with Saddam. Overthrowing him was. Question: Name the famous American lobbying for an end to Iraqi sanctions in 1999.

If Crede didn't suck so much, he would have gotten more than a single.

whats goin on with the game?

Maybe I'll start it, just to save time.

You don't wanna know the Secret Handshake. Trust me.

I agree. In the last five years, they lost Ernie and gained a gimpy Maggs, a great old ballyard and an "ok" Comerica Park. I got respect for Detroit.

Dumb unrelated question: Do Cubs still show games on FSN?

I got two pyramid scheme offers from Monster.com That was fabulous!

21 years I heard.

Why is an 8-3 start for us surprising? I'm not surprised at all. The Nats at 7-4? Surprising. After the Mets starting the way they did, going 6-0 this last week is incredibly surprising.

Cliff Politte had a good April last year by the way.

Groovy Kind of Love is an old 60s song redone horribly by the balding (at that time) front man from Genesis. I think it was the Loving Spoonful that did it originally. You've heard that Enya song. You really wish you never did though.

But these songs are still everywhere. That's the point he's trying to make. Is Holly Johnson still alive?

Some people say that the Kuwait battle was sort of engineered to put Japan in its place economically. (Kuwait was the top exporter of oil to Japan and the country basically footed the bill for Gulf War I)

Actually the problem with the Catholic Church is how they relate to homosexuals in relation to their own cathecism. From what I've read, the official word is that a homosexual is an equal member in standing within the Church and should be welcomed and afforded the same standing as anyone else. The only difference is that gay people can't marry in the Church (since the point of marriage in the Catholic Church is essentially one of procreation and little else). But sex out of wedlock and homosexual sex are supposed to be treated equally. They are of the same sin supposedly.

The Volcker report has said that less than one third of the total money that saddam hussein has supposedly illegally extorted through kickback, illegal oil sales, etc. came from OFFP. That would leave over TWO THIRDS of the 25+ billion dollars. The US and UK were responsible for enforcing the embargo. And you're neglecting to mention that American citizen traders are now being indicted to help perpetuate some of this fraud, both through OFFP and outside of it.

Some mods stay pretty strictly in some forums. For example, although I watch the baseball board, I have nothing intelligent to say there. Even less intelligent than what I have to say here that is. So I keep my mouth shut there mostly. Mostly.
