Participantmarion: Gee, thanks. Really. I feel soooo much better about myself now.
Yeah, cognitive dissonance is a bitch. Fortunately, I try not to think too much, and that really seems to help. That’s one of the nice things about having that arch conservative mindset: I’m well conditioned enough to not question things (or look too closely at them).

Participant“Unwarranted attack against Iraq”. Hmmm. Curious. Would you explain your reasoning on this one?

ParticipantWhat is really scary is if anyone believes that nonsense.
Carter and the CIA intentionally funded an operation to draw the Soviets into Afghanistan, and solely for the purpose of creating a “Vietnam-like” war for the Russians? Yow.
And the Soviet desire for a warm water port, along with their stated intent of suppressing the growing Islamic influence within their borders had nothing to do with it?
Soviet contingency plans for the invasion of Afghanistan had been on the books for over ten years, and actually spanned further than that when one considers the Soviet concerns over potential Islamic uprisings in their Central Asian provinces. The war in Chechnya is an excellent example of this.
The Carter Administration was exemplified by the Desert One debacle in the deserts of Iran. Carter was completely buffaloed by the Russians and the invasion of Afghanistan caught the administration completely by surprise. The notion that Carter and the CIA were behind some sort of master plan like the one articulated above is laughable, and totally at odds with history.
The book “The Sword and the Shield” details KGB operations at length, and is written by a ranking KGB officer with over 30 years experience. Read the section on the Afghan invasion and then juxtapose it with the quaint little tale you’ve spun.

ParticipantMy dad was with the Marines in both WWII and Korea, as was my uncle. My dad was a grunt, while my uncle was a fighter pilot (he’s the family glory boy).
