There you go again Slag, shagging my name because of my shortcomings rather than taking on the issue. So whose dishonesty is afoot here?
It seems that the distaste in your mouth is of your own doing & yes we can let it go at that.

Jimmy's pardons were a perfectly well timed blessing to a nation that was split & did a lot to heal.

As for that "Debacale in the Desert". I remember it well. My sister & my future Brother-in-law were both in that desert at the time & what had the potential for being a blood bath as the war against our embassy in Tehran would have been under todays logic came to be a lesser note in history than had we invaded. If only Jimmy were in office 6 yrs ago.

"No balls" peace prize. Really. Let's see another state's man in this nation take on the tasks & risks he's taken & see how many can walk in his shoes. We haven't got one person that that we can put in office that holds a candle to him!

And as for "all the sniveling little draft dodgers, cowards and traitors who left the country or went into hiding rather than do their duty". You must be joking! Where were you? Where are you coming from?
In this day & age that's what you think & care about? That's how you still feel? No wonder there's an awful taste left in your mouth. Please tell me again about my short comings. Wow!

Good-bye Slag
