lol yes. Did it still work at least

Yes I asked my 82 year old professor if the dude's dick still worked as a follow up question

I mean u were in journalism right? don't be a p****, get that information.

Money was made so 'cheap' because there were so many fears after 9/11 that the attacks would cripple us. Hence you get all these homes where people pour all their equity when they had no business having those homes to begin with. I'm definitely not the first person to say this.

 

This is just not at all the case. The economy had already been headed down for awhile, and yes of course, there was a huge drop in the markets and an acceleration of the recession at that point. But it was economic and monetary policy, in the effort to pull out of the already-underway recession, that made money "cheap". I think you are doing a bit of revisionist history here.

 

We were attacked and we responded with military action against those we deemed responsible. The Bush Administration probably got it wrong on the responsibility part and their biggest justification for Iraq turned out to be a lie, but not reacting with any public display of military force would've looked very week.

 

Why does everyone keep lumping Afghanistan and Iraq together? Bush had to go to war, the whole country did, against Afghanistan, and we did that. Then, before Afghanistan was anywhere near stable, we started pulling out of there so we could go start a new world order in the Middle East by starting our own little democratic disneyland where Iraq used to be. Too bad it didn't work out that way, which lots of people could have told him (and lots of people did). But his "justification" of WMD, was only that - a justification, not the real reason for going.

 

He had political gold in Afghanistan, then made one of the worst mistakes of any executive in decades - he got talked into starting a revolution in the Middle East by people he chose to surround himself with (and who controlled his foreign policy to a great degree).

 

Reagan. One of the better president ever in my estimation. Not a whole lot to line in the list though.

Right now I'm reading Leaderless Jihad by Marc Sageman, for my last class. Awesome book.

In the whole intelligence community during the war on terror genre, I really enjoyed See No Evil, by Robert Baer.
