Castro out of power, a good thing?

[K-town]

Try the link below at the Smoking Gun to check out the many ideas that our intelligence and military communities hatched to destabilize or overthrow Castro. OMG, some of these are so freakin' hair (hare) brained it's downright laughable.
Now I know why Castro outlasted 9 presidents. We should have contracted this job out to the Mafia, just like James Ellroy alledges in his book "American Tabloid."
BTW, "American Tabloid" is a work of fiction, from the same guy who wrote "L.A.Confidential" and "The Black Dahlia."

Hey Woodman, when you're done with these two would you mind speaking with Israel and Lebanon?

Ms.Rice is doing better as of yesterday Scott.

I think?

Thanks for that link.

I find that stuff intriguing.

The inner workings of " the POWERFUL Man ".

so you have a problem with people that have an opinion, and defend them. or is it people that just disagree with what you think is right? i put right in my sig IMO, everything i say is my opinion, just like almost everything that everyone else has to say on here. are you saying we aren't allowed to give our opinions? or are we just not allowed to defend them?

you're the one that can't take a joke, i have said a few time the "we should sue sherman" line was a joke. obviously one that flew way over your head for you to go on your only i'm right, you're wrong tirade in that thread

and i got a real good laugh out of you calling tank a 12 year old for the way he acts after you have been going on the way you have for the last few weeks

you are hypocrite. you say other people act like children, when you do it yourself. you bash people for giving their opinions and defending them, yet you refuse to except what anyone else thinks. you call people a hypocrite, when you are one also

should we now ask you from now on what we should think and say?

Well, well, well. Here we go again.

You "backed up" why your perspective was correct for six pages, THEN claimed it was a joke on page seven, much like Tank as a matter of fact.

Ok, I can handle a joke. (I still don't think it was a "joke", but that's a discussion for another time).

Several times, I post "you should sue", and now you say it "got old fast".

POT - MEET - KETTLE.

Red, your joke wasn't funny. It attacked the character of a man who left this town with a winning record. You want to bash him as a coach, fine, have at it. We've had better coaches through those doors, but we've had MUCH MUCH worse also. But if you are going to put it up, you better be prepared to take it.

I didn't do anything to you, that you didn't (by your own admission) do, and that's not my opinion, it is a fact....

So, I figured since you are such a funny dude I'd participate. Guess I have to leave the comedy to you. Apparently when I do the same thing, it isn't very funny. Or perhaps, you don't have much of a sense of humor.

You can ask my opinion whenever you like. I promise to always tell you what not to do. You have my word, and my opinion.

Personally, I think your charging moose would add a bit of comedy to the whole situation.

Heck, Israel could probably paint that moose on all its missles....

"
I suggest that if YOU retailguy, desists in your little joke, that's in my view at the expence of red, that problem that I see, most certainly can be eliminated.

Getting that ? Good.

Your an intelligent man.

I guess HH is the only one that can not "desist" in my little joke.

As for elimination of the problem, perhaps I should call Israel? Me thinks they are not "giving up" anytime soon.

And, I'm sure you realize that my "forum police" comment was NOT an attack on you? I so much enjoyed your attempt to mediate. As I'm sure you can see, Red sees nothing but "disdain" when he sees me.... It's OK, I'll hire Mike Sherman to "take him out" after he's finished in Houston.

THAT WAS A JOKE RED. It didn't take me seven pages to declare it a joke either.

[retailguy]

Swords or Pistols ?

Gentleman!

Personally I prefer pistols.

In dueling, I believe the person challenged to the duel gets to choose weapons. Therefore, I always recommend using handgrenades in a locked closet.

Discourages frivolus duels, posturing and what-not.

i blasted sherman for 6 or 7 pages in that thread, and explained why i thought he was a horrible judge of talent and a bad coach, and you took the other side. you now bitch that i can't except what others say, but in that thread you wouldn't except what i had to say.

most of the time in that thread i had no clue why you were so furious with me, you would agree with something i said, then rip into me for not saying sherman was the greatest thing that ever happened to green bay

yes it was a joke, if you would have said that was what you were pissed about earlier, i could have held your hand and walked you through the joke

yours was not a joke. you are just trying to be annoying and piss me off, EXACTLY what tank does

retailguy:

This in TRUTH and effect, isn't anything to do with you and I.

I "in fact" really didn't appreciate any Packer fans out right attacks on "the Man - Mike Shernan". He wasn't satisfactory, in important ways to many,but I saw enough in him to feel bad when he was sent packing.

I only wish Mike Sherman " ALL the Best " except when we play any team he is associated with.

Thank You retailguy,for respecting what I wrote with your response.

My wish. That you retailguy, and red, get to somewhere else - somewhere better.

PEACE OUT ! woodbuck27

Thanks - K-town, I must admit that I'm new to the whole "dueling" thing. I was not aware of proper protocol and I do appreciate you setting me on the right path. I will not be so hasty in the future....

[retailguy]

My wish. That you retailguy, and red, get to somewhere else - somewhere better.

Be careful what you wish for.... I'm pretty sure that things are fine where they are at. I don't think it matters whether Red likes me, or whether he doesn't....

Well, I'm not sure what I need and what I don't "need" but I assure you, that you holding my hand is not now necessary, nor will it ever be necessary. But thanks for the offer.

I personally still think it was funny to ask if we should sue...., and reserve the right to occasionally throw that one out, even in situations not related to you - sorry that you didn't get it, guess you took "the other viewpoint" on that one.

Castro is having surgery. I don't think a temporary transfer to his little brudder is that significant.

Also, I'm afraid that the apparatus is going to just keep ticking along after Castro dies. Which I guess is what you are suggesting too.

Actually, I believe Raul is the head of the dreaded secret police in Cuba. He is, if anything, worse than Fidel. Of Course, if Fidel dies, there is no guarantee that Raul would be win what is sure to be a power struggle. Bush vs. Chavez could be interesting.
