....and frequently partook of sustenance commonly known as "food."

It's unclear, however, whether or not Fulsom ever sullied his reputation by acting as the waterboy for an imperialistic government all for the desperate purposes of increasing traffic to his two-bit media outfit by attracting conspiracy minded individuals.

Regarding your first paragraph...we sure do have a 'gaggle' of those around here. Purveyor Sep 2014 #1

Depending how you mean that, it's a good assessment. The neocons are the Putinistas stevenleser Sep 2014 #44
Unprovoked war of aggression? JEB Sep 2014 #47
Yes an unprovoked war of aggression. That term has a specific meaning in terms of international law stevenleser Sep 2014 #48
I cannot justify our war of aggression. JEB Sep 2014 #49
We didn't engage in one in the Ukraine situation. You are justifying GWb's invasion of Iraq if stevenleser Sep 2014 #50
Now that is some fancy dancing. JEB Sep 2014 #53
No dancing. You are apologizing for an unprovoked war of aggression, just like in Iraq. nt stevenleser Sep 2014 #54
Oh, it's the old "if you arn't with us, you're againsy us" trick. JEB Sep 2014 #57
Nope, you are engaging in apologia for an unprovoked war of aggression. Simple as that. nt stevenleser Sep 2014 #76
Nope, you are engaging in fear mongering and jingoism. Easy peasy, works like a charm. JEB Sep 2014 #87

There's that condescension again. I am saying one thing, the Western Media is not reliable any more sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #82
Did Putini say that or not? Duckhunter935 Sep 2014 #101
But RT is totally reliable. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #66
No media is totally reliable, and especially after they have been caught lying over and over again. sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #69
Well, of course RT is totally reliable. NuclearDem Sep 2014 #72

You show me the evidence as to how the US actually executed the forcible removal of Yanukovych.... Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2014 #79
The irony is, even if the US completely put the uprising up to it, it does not justify Russia's stevenleser Sep 2014 #85
If word out of the mouths of US State Department officials won't do it, perhaps you need new media. Octafish Sep 2014 #90
Someone in the State Department confessed to forcibly removing Yanukovych from power? Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2014 #92
It was the BFEE. zappaman Sep 2014 #99
Funny how you never find anything wrong with the BFEE, zappaman. Octafish Sep 2014 #107
You mean like the Iraq war that every DUer disagreed with including zappaman? nt stevenleser Sep 2014 #117

Tag Team, huh? Octafish Sep 2014 #125
Doesn't take a tag team to show you are making things up again. zappaman Sep 2014 #158
Like where you posted all the negative stuff about the BFEE? Octafish Sep 2014 #161
Check out Octafish's responses throughout the thread from #107 down. Its deliberate. stevenleser Sep 2014 #139
Link for what? nt stevenleser Sep 2014 #126
Where zappaman posted in opposition to the Iraq invasion. Octafish Sep 2014 #128
You are accusing some DUers of being in favor of the Iraq war? You need proof otherwise? stevenleser Sep 2014 #129
No need to write what I didn't. Octafish Sep 2014 #131
You accused Zappaman of not being against anything the BFEE does. Iraq was one of those things. stevenleser Sep 2014 #132
No. That's what you said. Octafish Sep 2014 #133
Your post #107 is only a few above this. Its not like its from another OP. stevenleser Sep 2014 #134
I write about the BFEE and that's embarrassing? Octafish Sep 2014 #135
You suggested Zappaman didnt object to anything about the BFEE. Which he did and obviously so. stevenleser Sep 2014 #138
Right. So he had nothing to say. Seems you don't either. Octafish Sep 2014 #140
We both object to what the BFEE did with Iraq. As I have already told you and was proven. stevenleser Sep 2014 #142
It may satisfy your mind, stevenleser. Octafish Sep 2014 #143

Brad? Is that an attempt to smear me as Bradblog? Octafish Sep 2014 #167
Don't act like we aren't buds, Brad. zappaman Sep 2014 #168
So who is Brad you refer to? Octafish Sep 2014 #169
Why do you smear DUers, dude? zappaman Sep 2014 #170
Except it's not a smear to point out you defending the BFEE. Octafish Sep 2014 #173
Why do you smear DUers, Brad? zappaman Sep 2014 #174
It's part of a pattern. Octafish Sep 2014 #175
Yes, your smears and dodging of your own words is certainly a pattern. zappaman Sep 2014 #176
Seems like you're on to me. Octafish Sep 2014 #178

Really? Like Tag Team? Octafish Sep 2014 #148
Really? Like... does a source become invalid if more than one person cites it? stevenleser Sep 2014 #151
Are you disputing the timeline? Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2014 #145
No, that's not it. Octafish Sep 2014 #147
It's your theory to prove. Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2014 #152
I've posited no theory. Octafish Sep 2014 #153
So how did the CIA remove Yanukovych? Tommy_Carcetti Sep 2014 #154
