Summary of this topic so far:
Joe: US installed Saddam in the 1970s
Me: No, we didn't. We really, really didn't.
Lily: A decade later we sold some weapons to him.
Me: True but we're talking about his rise to power in the 1970's. Oh, and we sold weapons to both sides of the Iran-Iraq war.
Does Lily understand we are talking about theb1970's and not shit in theb1980's? I am really beginning to question her intelligence.
Giving him weapons is part and parcel with keeping him in power. I'm sorry logic isn't your strength.
keeping... not installing
installing means something different
Let's make this easy for you.
A window installer comes and installs your windows. you, or a glass cleaning company keeps those windows which were installed previously in good shape and ready for continued use
see how easy that was? and I didn't even need to break out the crayons
