like he writes a very long-winded section about trying to court Jackie Kennedy and getting rebuffed with "Norman, who do you think you are??"

he volunteers this. there was no gun held to his head forcing him to recount this event.

Nixon tapes are neither insane nor awkward. They are the greatest source of inspiration and black commedy known to man.

Just remember every time Nixon sits with Kissinger, Nixon absolutely distrusts all Jews and Kissinger distrusts all Nixons.

Over the past two days the American ambassador, Robert S. Beecroft, along with Brett McGurk, the senior State Department official on Iraq and Iran, have met with Usama Nujaifi, the leader of the largest Sunni contingent, United For Reform, and with Ahmad Chalabi, one of the several potential Shiite candidates for prime minister, according to people close to each of those factions, as well as other political figures.

President Richard Nixon talks with George Bush, then Chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC), about "a couple of very attractive women" he had recently met in the South Carolina Legislature. Nixon expresses surprise that these "good-looking and bright" female politicians could win in the South and suggests to Bush that he, as the party chairman, should look for more women to run as Republican candidates. The two men also discuss appointments and domestic issues.

will no one stand up for the iraq war?

saddam was a monster who gassed his own people. i guess goons would rather he was still alive?? why do you support saddam hussein, who had literal rape rooms. Rape Rooms. he gassed his own people

the international community decided to put a stop to it and bring democracy to iraq.. ok it didnt pan out perfectly but "even the wise do not see all ends" as gandalf said

criticize individual mistakes or whatever but the initial reason for going to war was noble, good, and just

lol yeah because every single time the US goes in and topples a government it works out just fine this was just a statistical anomaly what with the ISIS and whatever who could have predicted any of this

also if that's the reason then why do we do nothing about all the other brutal dictators around the world

it just seems very suspiciously disingenuous when you claim you're doing it for the good of the people of Iraq but then ignore genocides and atrocities happening in other countries that don't have any strategic or economic benefits to offer

besides which it seems predicated on assuming that the white people in charge of this country aren't racist fuckbags who don't give a poo poo about those people

lol hell yeah let's just disrupt the delicate balance of power in the middle east and kick off decades of civil war and proxy war amongst sunnis v shias *MISSION ACCOMPLISHED*

arguably less people per capita in iraq suffered under Hussein than they do now but I don't have any numbers in front of me. I'm just going off of ISIS controlling half the country and running literal open air slave markets and what not

Idk why we care about the middle east so much it's going to destroy itself in nuclear war when India and Pakistan nuke each other. Same for Israel and Iran.

Although it probably is just going to be Israel turning the middle east into a parking lot because Iran shot one missile at them that missed and blew up in the ocean.
