No.

Russia did.France did.


So.... when Rumsfeld visited Iraq in the 80s and was photoed and
videoed shaking hands with Tariq Azia and they were issuing statements
about how pleased they were with their mutual cooperation..... he was
French at the time?

Well, that's the deal. Bush's "base" go to church every week and hear
about how the Devil is a deceiver who speaks to you with honeyed words,
then they turn on the tube and listen to Bush telling them they are
good and ______ (fill in the blanks) is Evil therefore it is their job
to destroy Evil and they will win because God is with them, and they
swallow it hook line and sinker. So much for their commitment to their
religious faith, I guess.

Works for me. That would probably mean we would have to start over
from scratch. Good idea.

All of the presidents who are known reliably to
have cheated on their wives are still, by order of magnitude, so much
better in every respect than little george. I'm still trying to find
out what gwb ever accomplished without his daddy's help/money. He
doesn't do diplomacy because he can't possibly relate to heads of state
on that level.


I'm still trying to find out what Clinton did at level without someone
else's money. He had spent virtually no time in the real world of having
to actual do something or make a payroll or sell a product. It had all
been government service.

"deal with NK" actually WAS working its way to a face-to-face meeting,
which is basically what the NK nutcase wanted -- recognition! But
the minute Bush got in, his main imperative was to nullify ANYTHING
his predecessor had accomplished, no matter whether it was good for
the country. So he cut off the link that had been established, and
allowed that idiot David Frum to put out the "axis of evil" line, and
its been downhill ever since.

Nonsense. The program never had a hiccup even when he was playing
Clinton for reactors and oil (sorta interesting irony as things worked
out, although I admit that they were light water reactors). By the time
Clinton left office around 6 years later, he had not been able to
deliver on the reactors because of incompetence and graft.

Yeah; the one posts on the Internet suggesting that millions of people
be nuked because some of them **** him off and he is too lazy to draw
any finer distinctions; then when they complain he feels justified
because they obviously hate "us" for no reason. And the other posts
here about what an asshole the first one is and he and bin Laden should

News channels have a bunch of retired generals offering expertise in

historians and anthropologists about how the west has mucked things up
for the past few hundred years. We COULD let them get a democracy the

Instead of "In God We Trust", it will say "We're Gonna Get 'Em". Yep.


Thousands of years. Of course the Arabs screwed things up for
themselves long before anyone from West got there. That whole area has
been a basket case from the dawn of recorded history.


So has Europe. You're not forgetting WWI and WWII? People suck at

Yet, you look to government to solve all the worlds problems, little

That IS your socialist demonkrap M/O.

The only reason
North America has been immune until recently is remoteness,
underpopulation, and not having a long history.

Now let's think this through, campers.

Picture the scenario if Bush is successfully removed from office
(I'd - almost - die happy!)

Cheney's heart (? he has one?) finally gives out.

Hastert, next in line of succession, has been removed as Speaker via
Foley-gate and replaced by Boehner, who is, even as we speak, gunning
for his job.

So now we have Pres. Boehner, than whom no one in this whorehouse
called the U.S. Congress is deeper in the pockets of K Street.
Here is just a sliver of his record:

http://tinyurl.com/7uef5

Plenty more by Googling boehner + corruption, e.g.:

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/01/09/...western-union/

This is the guy, campers, who was openly handing out checks from the
tobacco lobby ON THE HOUSE FLOOR!!!!

So do we still want to impeach Bush?

On balance and on principle -- and in tribute to our children murdered
and mutilated in Iraq/Afghanistan -- Yes, if it can get done before
the '08 presidential elections.

Nothing to do, of course, with his persecution by what Hillary

Republicrats (dern, I'm slipping into the kind of vituperative
language wielded by Certain Posters on this thread), knew they could
never get Bill impeached, but they could tie him up so badly defending
himself that he could not give adequate attention to his agenda.
Worked like gang busters!

My mouse only has 3 buttons on it- which one does that?

Do we ever reflect on why we Americans are prone to this kind of
intemperate thinking? We are an impatient lot, but how many repair
jobs are helped by an outbreak of violent temper? I expect most of us
have tried it at least once, rarely with helpful results- just that one
or two times that make us, like gamblers, occasionally consider it.


Regarding Carter and the hostages, I've always considered his approach
basically a success, by this simple measu THEY ALL CAME HOME ALIVE
a minor point for some people, I realize. And there was some
evidence, which I found credible, that Reagan's people deliberately had
release delayed through secret dealings.


You got that right! It's well documented. Coordinated with the
Iranians via Paris.

Wonder how different the lives of the middle and lower classes would
have been had Carter been re-elected. For one thing, the deliberate
destruction of the American labor movement might not have begun (you
DO remember Reagan firing the air controllers?) and your stereotype
honest working union member might have continued to earn a respectable
living to support a family and a middle-class way of life...

And please don't bother coming on with union corruption, the
Teamsters-Mafia-Nixon axis, etc. Union bosses can be as corrupt
(well, almost) as Members of Congress.

Before reciting THAT lesson, go back and study the history of the
labor movement in the U.S. It makes horrific reading.

But ah, those 21% interest rates under Carter, if you had a few
bux to invest...

I found some really interesting associations doing genealogy research
that relate to early labor bosses. And another where someone in the
family was killed during the Haymarket riots in Chicago. Too bad that
Chicago is going soft and letting Walmart build a store there. Thought
they still had some brass. 'Bet the day after 9/11 Mayor Daley got some
cops up atop the John Hancock with rocket launchers .. probably pays
real well, too. ) "Not in my town" )

Chicago didn't wait for FEMA to rebuild after the fire or the flood.
Chicago was a swamp, like most of the oldest cities, and had to put in
8' of dirt to raise it up.

But ah, those 21% interest rates under Carter, if you had a few

Oh, gosh. My parents were putting every nickel in the bank so they
could (finally) build their retirement home. I couldn't afford to buy a

Of course he didn't come close .The budget is Congress's area, if you
read the constitution. Besides I would argue that NOBODY balanced the
budget since almost all of the "surplus" was extra Soc. Sec. money that
was then immediately and by law put into non-marketable government
bonds. Only in Washington can you take a long-term liability (the bonds)
and make it into a short term asset.
In fairness to Clinton, he was beneficiary of this scheme and not
the perpetrator.
Also, during the years of "surplus", spending actually went up at a
higher rate than before. much to the chagrin of many of the budget hawks
(myself included). What really happened was that there was a brief,
shining moment when the American economy was so breathtakingly
overheated that money came in faster than the concerted, best efforts of
BOTH parties could shove it back out the door.

There is ample evidence that they kept going without looking back.
Also much of the original deal was in tatters because Clinton (and
others) couldn't stop fighting amongst themselves over the spoils of the
reactors to actually get them built. They were years behind on their
promises long before Clinton left.

True, but I wondered at the time if Carter was so wounded by the
hostage crisis that he would be as/ more dangerous than Reagan.
The Patco leader was not too bright. He crossed AFL-CIO by
endorsing Reagan, then led illegal strike against him- when Reagan was
just looking for a chance to establish his toughness. Still, AFL-CIO
were jerks, too- they let PATCO hang as payback, forgetting the maxim
that 'in union is our strength.' If they'd stood by PATCO after giving
them a good scolding, things might have turned out differently.
Remember the Hormel strike? I thought union made big mistake by
bringing in Corporate Campaign people and holding out for a fantasy,
instead of reasonable settlement. Look where the situation is now- no
union, underpaid undocumented workers, sped up, dangerous lines.

Default Why dont we just nuke the entire Middle East POLITICALLY CORRECT WAR

i don't want to take sides in this. it is an important discussion,
although it does not belong here.

i believe people are basically on average good. anytime you see one
group of people hate or cause harm to another you need to start looking
beneath the surface. that means reading from ALL points of view. know
the history, understand who your sources are and what they stand to
gain by influencing your opinion.

as far as i can tell most populations can't be told the real reasons
for war. the real reasons are usually not in the populations interest.

if you get all you information from mass media generated inside one of
the waring nations you will only get one narrow, biased, and
incomplete, side of the story: what the interests behind the war need
you to believe.

the truth isn't always easy to come by or pleasant to uncover.

i understand the anger in this country. i just don't understand where
its directed.

Default Why dont we just nuke the entire Middle East

Why don't you just say that muslims are rats that need extermination?

It is much clearer.

Why dont we just nuke the entire Middle East. All those people want
to do is cause wars. Not a one of them are civilized. They are all
useless people and need to be destroyed.

Unlike, for example, you.


I guess you lack discernment.

You can't tell the difference between someone who wants you DEAD and a
regular Joe?


I guess you lack inference. I was referring to "useless people" who "need
to be destroyed".

You poor ignorant anti-American sack of socialist ****.
America is great because of capitalism and freedom (limited government).


Are no-bid contracts capitalism?


You poor petty ignorant anti-American sack of socialist ****.

Is over the top deficit spending, repeal of habeas corpus, cohabitation
of church and state limited government?

In a few weeks, quite a few anti-Americans may be going to the polls...


"May be going to the polls"?

"Quite a few" ain't going to cut it, you poor petty ignorant
anti-American sack of socialist ****.

But he can be impeached.

And make Cheney president?
Why?


Cheney first or simultaneously.


Now let's think this through, campers.

Picture the scenario if Bush is successfully removed from office
(I'd - almost - die happy!)

Cheney's heart (? he has one?) finally gives out.

Hastert, next in line of succession, has been removed as Speaker via
Foley-gate and replaced by Boehner, who is, even as we speak, gunning
for his job.

So now we have Pres. Boehner, than whom no one in this whorehouse
called the U.S. Congress is deeper in the pockets of K Street.
Here is just a sliver of his record:

Plenty more by Googling boehner + corruption, e.g.:

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/01/09/...western-union/

This is the guy, campers, who was openly handing out checks from the
tobacco lobby ON THE HOUSE FLOOR!!!!

So do we still want to impeach Bush?


That would be President Pelosi. The probable speaker
of the house after the next election.
