Nope, it was clearly intentional to portray the hapless Kennedy as a terrorist. Why not? The Pulitzer Patriot’s audience has not trouble depicting Bush as a terrorist.

RW,

To debate which countries have it better than us is a fruitless endeavor. The wealthy in the U.S. have it better than any people anywhere in the world. The problem is that the disparity amongst the rich and poor in this country is growing, and the poorest of our people have it nearly as bad as some of the most destitute third world countries. The population of poor people in our country is rapidly expanding while at the same time opportunites are evaporating- there are more jobs at Walmart and fewer and fewer jobs that are attainable without high priced educations. Yes, education is essential, which can be expected in an ever-advancing world, but soon all people born into the lower middle class will be forced to work menial service jobs their whole lives, while only the children of white, upper middle class adults will be able to afford college and make a comfortable living. My wife and I don’t make a great deal, but it’s about double the average household income in America, and we can barely afford daycare for our daughter.

Could we move along and leave all the hypocritical remarks behind? No point in digging up history. Schiavo is dead and buried.

Can’t you see what Danish and RW are telling you? Republicans have been “sensitized” by Democrats who demonize our president, our country, our congress even our troops and the war in Iraq. Blame without thought or reason is dumped on Republicans, even natural disasters.

Luckovich epitomizes this attitude. His cartoons degrade not just Republicans, but our government and our country. It is almost impossible to believe that he would produce anything without implied insults. Anything he produces is suspect. Even this rehab one.

Until liberals begin to show some respect for all aspects and citizens of our country, the divide is there. This gives an advantage to terrorists.

Liberals could start by showing some love for this country. Rabid dissent cannot be called patiotism.

First of all, for someone who has a expressed a palpable amount of antipathy toward Christians, you constant use of the words “Christ” and “Jesus” is…offensive.

Secondly, your comparisons are ridiculous. A drowning victim automatically means Katrina? No. Not unless there was somehting that made it look like New Orleans or Mississippi in the summer of 2005. And how would that be funny anyway?

It is difficult to imagine a circumstance where the images of Flight 93 or the World Trade Towers could be used tastefully in a humorous cartoon. Unless of course you were a Jihadist.

It would be beyone the pale of acceptable discourse. But you wouldn’t know that would you? You’re the ones who use funerals and memorial services as Bush bashing opps, and think that heckling is a perfectly acceptable way to express your views.

The Schiavo situation is a subject for another day - it is off topic and probably too personal for this sort of forum anyway.

You’ve ignored the second and third paragraphs of my post which are what get to the crux of the matter, to the root cause of Bush Derangement Syndrome and the irrational hatred of Conservatives in general.

You know, someone whose lies kill one marriage, rather than tens of thousands of people. And as for respect — I respect a LOT of people. Just not you and your ilk.

Rove is not in jail. He has no convictions for anything that I know of. He is a shrewd political advisor which makes him hated by liberals. Never a day goes by without an accusing comment. Why? Mainly because he is a clever Republican. That old liberal hate keeps popping up.

And yes, I do look back to the good days when Democrats ruled. It was far from perfect, but it was not an utter disaster like the Shrub rule. Fortunately, this administration has screwed up so much, so often and so badly that even the densest people are understanding. Hence the approval rating of 33%.

You are such a sad case. You respect others because they are human beings, not because they must earn your respect.

You know who taught me that? My father. He was a doctor in a small town. He treated everybody that came to him. If they were sick, he cared for them. It didn’t matter how they looked or where they came from or whether they could pay. He took care of them as best he could. And he was pretty good. He had a great respect for all human beings. There were many people who loved him.

Our president is a strong man with a respect for human beings. He loves this country and is fighting terror too protect us. He has done everything possible in our major disasters. I know you don’t see it because he hasn’t”earned your respect”.

Dusty, respect has to be earned. Pure and simple. That does not mean you don’t do your job if your job is to deal with people, but that does not mean you have to respect everyone just because a sperm and an egg happened to merge. If you were sick and I could help you, I would. Not because I respect you as a person, but because you’re a human being, and that is what human beings do for each other. I respect your right to exist, and your right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. I respect your rights as a human being. But I do not respect you. There is a difference there.

As for Bush, needless to say I completely disagree with every single thing you say about him. In my opinion he is one of the 3 or 4 worst presidents this country has ever seen. But it’s pointless to outline why. You would not listen.

As to the president, I know he has made some mistakes. He is human and he is compassionate. Stick around and watch history. You will see that he is also very intelligent.

Wait, so your father was a doctor, Dusty, but treating patients was not his job? I think that you’re possibly confused about what the term “doctor” actually means. You see, if you’re a doctor it’s your job to treat patients. And yes, when you deal with people sometimes you work around the lack of respect and deal with them professionally even when you would have nothing to do with them given a choice. I guarantee you your father had his share of patients like that. And, again, I disagree with everything you said about Bush, other than the fact that he is human. That seems to be correct. But I’m willing to bet good money that by the time I’m old Shrub Jr. will be a more reviled President than even Nixon, the gold standard of hated Presidents.

Insomnia is a curse.

Dusty, I am stunned that you dont know about Bush and Rove sabotaging McCain’s 2000 campaign in South Carolina.

From Wikipedia: “During the bitterly-contested 2000 Republican primary, allegations were made that Rove was responsible for a “push poll” conducted in South Carolina, that used racist innuendo intended to undermine the support of Bush rival John McCain: “Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?”

McCain’s 2000 campaign manager, Richard Davis calls the smear the dirtiest politics he’s ever seen:

“It didn’t take much research to turn up a seemingly innocuous fact about the McCains: John and his wife, Cindy, have an adopted daughter named Bridget. Cindy found Bridget at Mother Theresa’s orphanage in Bangladesh, brought her to the United States for medical treatment, and the family ultimately adopted her. Bridget has dark skin.”

“Anonymous opponents used “push polling” to suggest that McCain’s Bangladeshi born daughter was his own, illegitimate black child.”

And you can imagine how well that went over with white voters in South Carolina.

Bush went on to crush McCain. Rove denied any part in this smear, and there is no smoking gun. But all but the most naive political observers, and that includes Republicans, see Rove’s fingerprints all over this.

And it’s telling to note that during this smear, Bush supporters made absolutely no effort to denounce it or even distance themselves from it.

McCain’s kiss ‘n make up with Bush as the 2008 race approaches lessens my respect for the Arizona senator. They say all’s fair in love, war and politics, but there should be limits.

Regarding the famous push-polling incident, here’s a theory for you, of my own invention:

Maybe the Dems felt that John McCain was a greater threat than George Bush and they conducted the push polls? After all, McCain was the media darling. Makes as much sense as anything else I’ve heard. BTW, Buchanan won in New Hampshire too - shows what that win is worth nowadays.

The former President, who we are not allowed to mention, is not exactly lily white in the oppo-research department, a skill crafted during his Arkansas career. Bimbo eruptions. Must I go there? Nah.

I said nothing about profanity, but since you mentioned it, I do hate your disgusting ice-cream expression. Don’t know why you are so fond of it.

And your insistence on bringing Schiavo into the discussion was really annoying.

But since you dipped you toe into those waters, I’ll keep it simple for you: Republicans have this nasty habit of erring on the side of life, and tend to oppose starving physically healthy people to death out of expediency, especially when the devoted parents are willing to assume the care for that person. Apparently some people find that threatening.

And IMHO, the fair-weather husband, Michael Schiavo, deserved the scorn that was heaped upon him. Have you read her nurses affadavits? I have.

Moreover, his attorneys’ slavish devotion to The Hemlock Society was…creepy. I recall a little bit about the euphoria of death by starvation, and how beautiful the hollow-cheeked bride looked in her final hours. What a salesman.

The unfounded allegation of the McCain push-poll could very well be a media generated push-poll to discredit Republicans. Do you see how insane this has become. When will people learn to discredit all polls and vote for the candidates and where they stand on the issues?

The internet itself has become a source for misguided and false information that is having a profound effect on the decision making process. There are positive and negative aspects. You just have to be intelligent enough realize that there is no way to disprove a negative.

The version of the article published later by the paper did not specify authorship and noted that the memo was unsigned. The authorship remains unknown.

Push-polls? Unattributable Schiavo memos? Carpet munchers? So much innuendo, so little evidence.

And yes the King Kong cartoon was a direct 9/11 reference. No mistake there.

Re your 11:16, I wouldn’t even give Sanchez one debating point on that one. I did a Google search using Ann Coulter+carpet muncher and it came up empty.A figment of his moonbat imagination.

If there was any truth to it, we would have heard all about it. Heck, John Kerry would never have missed an opportunity to drop it into the Presidential debate, just like he did with Cheney’s daughter. Why trash one when you can make it a twofer?

I wonder why it didn’t work? This is the part that Sanchez needs to think about.

Kevin,

There’s “less than objective innuendo”, and then there’s “compelling circumstantial evidence”. The latter is enough to convict someone in a court of law. And it’s at least enough to cast a suspicious shadow over the Bush campaign links to the anti-McCain push poll.

Why didn’t the Bush campaign denounce, or at least distance itself from the McCain slander?

Ray McGovern made an excellent point yesterday.

He said we spend billions on satellite imagery and other tools to track the WMD’s, so we should know where they are. If they moved them to Syria, we would know.

All these comments are dead wrong

Speaking of Rush, an absolutely random, but great dig at him came from, of all places, Sports Illustrated, as Dr. Z mentioned that he’d “hire Rush to sell pom-poms at public executions”

Oh, and finch, Danish’s brilliant theory of “maybe Democrats conducted pro-Bush push-polls in South Carolina” really reminds me of a line from some movie (which I don’t remember now) “I still maintain that he kicked himself in the balls”. Of course there it was intended to be funny due to its sheer ridiculousness. Danish, on the other hand, seems dead serious. Which, I guess, is pretty damn funny in its own right.

Buy Danish, I intended to put a question mark after the phrase “debatably interesting” in my post. Makes a difference.

As to Sanchez’s “carpet muncher” reference, it was irrelevant so I chose to ignore it.

When I got to your Salon link, I didn’t read it because I have no knowledge or interest in Ann Coulter’s dating successes and I’d have to wonder what mentality does. I went back up to see if I missed something. The heading would indicate concern, but what followed revealed their motives. One cancels out the other. It too becomes way too obvious for me to care.

Let’s try an intellectual exercise. No wait that’s too exclusionary around here, I’ll let the moonbats play too.

Let’s look at something beyond the alleged Bush push poll. Where is the evidence that John McCain, winner of New Hampshire and darling of the media, was storming to victory in South Carolina and the innuendo from a poll that was barely reported until way after the fact caused him to not only lose South Carolina, but followed him from then on ultimately causing his defeat?

More likely it was the typical sour grapes from a loser trying to pin his defeat on some mystical power beyond his control.

Good work, getalife! That’s a good analogy. America and Iran both have “True Believers” at the top, and that ain’t good. Frankly though, I think Ahmadinejad is a smarter politician, and he holds a better hand in the geo-political game. That’s not too bad. If Iran does indeed go nuclear, it may prove to be a version of cold war containment, except this time it will be smaller countries containing us. If Ahmadinejad can pull that off, I say more power to him. I don’t care who keeps nuclear weapons from ever being used as long as they succeed.

I guess you have spent so much time in the Entertainment biz that you never learned the difference between Christianity and Radical Islam.

Here’s a quick primer:

Our country was founded on principles found in Christianity. The Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, and Constitution all owe a debt to Christianity and Christian principles.

That guy in Iran? He’s not a Christian.

I hope this isn’t too difficult for you to follow or swallow. If you have a problem with those founding documents, don’t fret, for unlike Castro’s Cuba, you are free to leave anytime you want.

RE: Schiavo’s husband

And you say the liberals are quick to judge. End of life issues are among the most difficult we face. I am happy for you that it is so simple, but most Christian ethicists are struggling with questions such as what constitutes extraordinary means of prolonging life and how we can determine if someone is beyond hope and even what constitutes living. We now have the technology to keep almost anyone alive indefinitely, so those are real questions that need to be answered. In the aftermath of Schiavo, the US government started to investigate all deaths in Oregon where pain killing medicines such as morphine were used. The result: doctors started to refuse to care for the dying. Noone wants the government involved in their personal matters if they truly stop and think of the consequence.

Without the “war on terror” and Iraq invasion, Bush had nothing to justify re-election. Haven’t even you wingnuts noticed how Bush always brings up 9/11 every time he and his cronies are caught in another blunder? It’s his security blanket-at least, he thinks it is. Frankly, I don’t believe anyone who has been able to make a buck off this presidency cared in the slightest if it completely failed once re-election was achieved.

It almost sounds like Joe Roman believes that this was all an evil plot by Bush, Rove, Rumsfeld & Cheney prior to 9/11 and Bush ran for office with an ace up his sleeve.

The ace being, he knew or even arranged for terrorists to attack the towers. He was willing to sacrifice the two towers, the people in them, and the passengers of Flight 93. He would be able to achieve this great conspiracy within clear view of the American people, Congress, foreign dignitaries and our own military. The whole world was watching but he didn’t care. He had an evil plot to carry out. Nothing would stop him.

His plan to throw off suspicion was to read a book to school children while the attack was happening. Yeah, that would do it. The american people are dumb enough to buy that.

Re: the post of 3:33

The greatest and most courageous of the founding fathers also were very suspect of the church. The very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence contains - …to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them…. Near the end they speak of …appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world… and …protection of Divine Providence… Whether these are wholly (holy?) Christian references is still debateable. There is much evidence that Jefferson, et al had, at times, very little use for religion.

From TJ: Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.

As for the Bill or Rights, it says and infers nothing about Chrisitianity. The first words of the first amendment - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…. Of any kind. Thats it.

And let’s not forget that these Christians of our new country virtually eliminated entire races of non-Christians on this continent. MLK Jr., a devout man by any measure, spoke of our nation as the single biggest exporter of death and destruction in the world.

Obviously, all of these religions have also helped the poor and needy, even in times when no one else would, and have done great good in the world as well. That’s not the entire point though, and openly discussing why religion is both great and terrible at the same time, is worthy of examination.

With reason, Radical Islam, Radical Christianity and Radical Judaism can be marginalized. They’ve all done infinite harm to the people of this world and it looks like things are getting worse among them, not better. Statesmenship is not yet lost. We must find ways to talk out our problems, instead of fighting them out. Education, not religion, is our hope.

Are you really as stupid as you seem, JT, or do you simply make no effort to understand what you read? Of course, 9/11 was a reality. A real leader would have taken advantage of the sympathy the attacks generated from allies and adversaries alike. He would have used that outpouring of feeling to create an alliance that would not only have facillitated the capture of Osama bin Laden and the destruction of al Qaida, but crushed jihadism wherever it reared its ugly head. Instead, the Bush administration adopted their ‘go it alone’ strategy that created the pretense that 9/11 affected only America when in reality it was attack on the entire free world. Overnight, most of the world was alienated by that supreme act of arrogance, and a self-fulfilling prophecy was realized. Then, we were alone. If that wasn’t enough. We found ourselves in Bush’s nonsensical “war on terror”. Why didn’t he simply declare war on al Qaida? With the entire world on our side and al Qaida isolated as the world’s adversary, bin Laden could have been hanging from a lamp post in lower Manhattan before the rubble had been cleared. Instead, since Bush was far more interested in personal power than actually solving a crisis, we found ourselves bogged down in an invasion that had absolutely nothing to do with addressing the 9/11 attacks. Of course, the war in Iraq is a reality, but only because the Bush administration made it so. Meanwhile, we’ve thrown nearly a trillion dollars at a self-created problem and completely failed to avenge those who lost their lives in the WTC and Pentagon. Now, invading Iraq may have made Bush and his syncophants experience a partial easing of their erectile disfunction problems, but it has brought only misery, destruction, death, frustration and the most profound loss of international respect our country has ever experienced. Those of you who support the policies that have bourne this bitter fruit are gullible, stupid or just plain nuts.

(Conservative) KABC AM-Los Angeles Talk Show host Doug McKintyre, has turned on Bush. Will this start to become a trend?

“So, I’m saying today, I was wrong to have voted for George W. Bush. In historic terms, I believe George W. Bush is the worst two-term President in the history of the country. Worse than Grant. I also believe a case can be made that he’s the worst President, period. After five years of carefully watching George W. Bush I’ve reached the conclusion he’s either grossly incompetent, or a hand puppet for a gaggle of detached theorists with their own private view of how the world works.”

You mean like Iraq?

You mean “alone” like in 28 other countries?

Then, we were alone.

Say what?

Why didn’t he simply declare war on al Qaida?

We did, this ain’t good enough for you or do you just not know?

With the entire world on our side and al Qaida isolated as the world’s adversary, bin Laden could have been hanging from a lamp post in lower Manhattan before the rubble had been cleared.

You got that Amnesty International? Did you get a copy on that Dickhead Durbin, we hang them first, ask questions later.

we found ourselves bogged down in an invasion that had absolutely nothing to do with addressing the 9/11 attacks.

That’s why it’s called “war on terror” instead of “war on 911.” This is not the Clinton Administration where we shoot a couple camels in the a-ss, pat ourselves on the back, while lunatics like Khalid Sheik Mohamed fester, planning the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Prosecutors have e-mails showing the office of Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) knew that lobbyist Jack Abramoff had arranged the financing for the DeLay’s controversial European golfing trip in 2000 and was concerned “if someone starts asking questions.”

So they were concerned about following the law. The way all you pinkos were carrying on you’d have thought Dealy was doing this on purpose. Even if there was a violation it looks like they just misunderstood the rules, like Nancy Pelosi, et. al.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi helped secure $3 million last year for a nonprofit transportation-research organization whose president gave money to her political action committee as the group was paying for a European trip for one of her policy advisers.

I like it when a lib illustrates their economic ignorance for the whole world to see:

Queen Pinko, AJC Editorial Board Pooh Bah: But the president just can’t believe that Americans are so unhappy given the general prosperity that he sees abroad in the land. The most recent Gallup poll, taken late last month, shows that only 34 percent of Americans approve of the president’s handling of the economy.

It’s like she thinks the AJC readership is a bunch of mouth breathing illiterates, just happy to be fed some more anti American nonsense. Ummmmm, oh, nevermind.

I got one question for you liberal “scholars,” if this economy is “crushing” the lower class, why do we have 14 million people swarming over the border to become a part of it?

And if these 14 mil, who Mother Lib welcomes with open arms, work for substantially lesser wages than American workers do, wouldn’t this drive down the earning power for that whole economic class?

Is it too simple for the nuanced crowd?

I’m afraid to ask how this socialist proposes “fixing” the “problems” she has “uncovered.” A nice little work camp for all of us common people?

Good toon ML. Nice to see a slightly more objective look at the shortcomings of both political parties (and, sadly, the majority of the entire population).

It is unfortunate that American politics have been reduced to the level of supermarket tabloids. There was a time, not so long ago, that campaigns were waged on issues instead of personal foibles. Attack politics, smear campaigns, and voter fraud have now become the mainstay of both parties.

Ironically, both parties are equally guilty of lack of character. Nixon, Clinton, Limbaugh, Kennedy, Delay, Cunningham, Gary Hart, Wilbur Mills, and many others from both camps have left themeselves open to blackmail and manipulation by their lack of responsibility.

Consequently, voters have become disenchanted and distrustful of our government as a whole. Maybe it is time to talk issues instead of dirt!

SADDAM HUSSEIN WAS AND IS AS SECULAR AS THE DAY IS LONG. In fairness, perhaps you don’t know what a jihadist is. A jihadi is one who is participating in what he believes to be a Muslum ‘holy war’. In order to be a jihadist, one must be a fervent, fundamentalist Muslum. When Saddam Hussein was in power, he crushed jihadis like they were bugs. That was one of the many human rights abuses that made him such an vicious dictator.

Joe the Romans: You are honestly going to classify the killing of innocent Muslims? And then to further your mindless justification, you want to accept one mass killer over another? I don’t care if they call it Jihadi or Jishmadi, the Muslim people deserve to live free and without fear of the various pathologies that are trying to kill them.

This is not that hard to understand.

If the pinkos retake the House:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said in an interview last week that a Democratic House would launch a series of investigations of the Bush administration, beginning with the White House’s first-term energy task force and probably including the use of intelligence in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Pelosi denied Republican allegations that a Democratic House would move quickly to impeach President Bush. But, she said of the planned investigations, “You never know where it leads to.”

This is what’s called the “get out the Republican vote” movement.

The wobbly first steps of Socialism!

“The expectations of our citizens … have gotten so high that regardless of the responder - local, state, National Guard and Defense Department - folks will be disappointed that they can’t get everything they need right away,” said Adm. Timothy Keating, commander of U.S. Northern Command. “We have to manage expectations.”

This guy knows how it works! Bribe the poor, and get them to vote for tyrannical ruler by eliminating term limits.

Hamas used the same tactics in Palestine.

Who are Hamas?

Hamas describes resisting and quelling the enemy as the individual duty of every Muslim.

Hamas, acronym of Harakat al-Muqawamah al-Islamiyyah (“Islamic Resistance Movement”), is a Palestinian anti-occupation organization closely related to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The organization is popular among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. It also has a following in the West Bank, and, to a lesser extent, in other Middle Eastern countries and throughout the Palestinian diaspora, including within Israel. The movement’s popularity stems from its paramilitary activities, and from its provision of welfare and social services to the Palestinian poor.

It’s the slippery slope of the Democrats.

To answer your question, bi-polar AJC etc., yes. Given a choice, I’d rather have Saddam Hussein killing innocent Muslums than American troops and various sectarian militias. For one thing, American troops, in case you haven’t noticed, have lost their lives in Iraq. That would not be the case if we hadn’t invaded, would it? For another, the sectarian militias would not exist if hadn’t been for our invasion. Like the bluesman sez, it’s a mean old world we live in. I’d much rather have the situation as it was prior to our invasion of Iraq than what we have now. Do the arithmetic. There are an awful lot more dead innocent Muslums now, but more importantly, there are all those inconveniently dead American soldiers. Which reminds me, if you wingnuts think this invasion was such a great idea, why aren’t you in Iraq now cleaning up the mess? This is too easy for me.

JoRo,

I love your Jihad link. It sounds like something written by Bagdhad Bob, but in actuality it comes from a University website. Why am I not surprised?

One more University that needs to be sued for fraud, as RW suggested.

Shall I parse some of it for you? Okay I will.

Jihad should not be confused with Holy War; the latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War. The latter refers to the Holy War of the Crusaders.

Why did Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, and other groups not get this message? Maybe they need to take some courses at USC.

Jihad is not a war to force the faith on others, as many people think of it. It should never be interpreted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others, since there is an explicit verse in the Qur’an that says:” There is no compulsion in religion” Al-Qur’an: Al-Baqarah (2:256).

Why did those countries who follow Sharia Law not get this message? Recent case in point, the Afghan who was about to be sentenced to death for converting to Christianity until our State Dept. intervened.

Not to mention fatwas against infidels.

The clincher for me was the last line:

It also prohibits cutting down trees and destroying civilian constructions.

Jihadis are Tree Huggers!

This is the moment in time where he went insane:

Bush said the worst moment was September 11 when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. “In such a situation it takes a while before one understands what is happening,” Bush said. “I would say that this was the hardest moment, once I had the real picture before my eyes.”

I always figured when a pinko does an end zone celebration for themselves in one of their posts, it means there must be something amiss with their mental abilities. Joe the Roman does this for every single one of his posts:

By Joe Roman May 7, 2006 10:32 AM To answer your question, bi-polar AJC etc., yes. Given a choice, I’d rather have Saddam Hussein killing innocent Muslums than American troops and various sectarian militias.

How about no innocent Muslims dying at all? Is that not even worth consideration?

There are an awful lot more dead innocent Muslums now, but more importantly, there are all those inconveniently dead American soldiers.

I’ll even give you the kook website on this one, they say 34,781 Most sources put the Saddam toll at 300,000 minimum. So we could fight Al Qaeda for another 30 years and still have room to spare.

For one thing, American troops, in case you haven’t noticed, have lost their lives in Iraq. That would not be the case if we hadn’t invaded, would it? I’d much rather have the situation as it was prior to our invasion of Iraq than what we have now. Do the arithmetic.

What do you pinko liberals think we are doing in Iraq? Do you think this is just some morbid excuse for us to just go murder innocent Iraqis? It sure does look that way. Either that or you are too stupid to see that we are trying to stop the killing in Iraq altogether. You know, like we did in Japan and Germany, giving hundreds of thousands of our best lives so that those people could live free from tyranny. That is what America is. Not some feel good, blind to the rest of the world exclusionary society that you libs want it to be.

Look at the conflicts we gave up on and compare them to the ones we saw through to their completion. Anybody want to stick up for the communists in North Korea? Tell me that it is a utopia for those citizens, being starved and beaten to death and cut up for their internal organs?

You pinkos want to explain to us how the millions died in Cambodia and Vietnam after we abandoned them?

Do these places make you happy?

Look at Kuwait. If we were such oil mongering killers, jackboot Nazis like you libs say, how come Kuwait tells us whether we can base our troops in their country, how come they keep all their oil money, why do their citizens live free from murder and oppression?

Joe Roman, you have a tendency to oversimplify.

Jihad is a war for power against those very features of the West that its citizens and advocates admire—individual liberty, liberal democracy, free market capitalism, toleration, emancipation of women, diversity, scientific advancement, and dynamism—are precisely the things Jihadists despise.

But today’s Islamic Occidentalism, in an important sense Wahhabism writ large, sees the West as the main enemy because of its support for “idolatrous” regimes in the Middle East, e.g. secular regimes such as Syria and Egypt, as well as “impure” Islamic states such as Saudi Arabia. Such support stands in the way of the creation and maintenance of a truly unified and pure Islamic world.

You see Joe, they hated the “ideals of the West” not just the U.S., any country who they see as immoral in their pursuit of individual freedom. They existed long before we entered Iraq.

For instance we should recognize that Jihadis, like the Japanese and Nazis before them, believe the West is cowardly, addicted to comfort and lacking the sacrificial spirit. Also like their predecessors, the Jihadis believe that spirit can overcome material disadvantage, that victory belongs to the side with the stronger will. Given this reality, an implication of Occidentalism is that it is imperative for the United States to prevail in Iraq. Failure to do so will only invite more attacks.

I especially like this one:

In the words of a Jihadi in Afghanistan, “[we will win because the Americans] love Pepsi-Cola, but we love death.”

Joe, Do you want to trade your Pepsi-Cola for Jihad?

It may be their “holy war”, but it is a war to ensure our freedoms and security.

Only after these bogus reasons were sunk did the saving lives and spreading democracy goals surface.

It’s like this is some state secret: THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. American and coalition forces have begun a concerted campaign against the regime of Saddam Hussein. In this war, our coalition is broad, more than 40 countries from across the globe. Our cause is just, the security of the nations we serve and the peace of the world. And our mission is clear, to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein’s support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people.

There are 35,000 American troops in the same spot they were in when we surrendered in 1953. This blooming idiot finch is so intellectually crippled that he can’t even see that he’s making my point for me; We don’t finish the job and it results in wholesale slaughter of innocent people.

No again. We fought Japan and Germany because they Axis attacked the US. Even if Saddam had the will to attack, he most certainly didn’t have the means.

That’s called preemption, you mental clod. Why does it always have to get to 50 million people dead before we react?

In his latest rant, neocon hero Mark Steyn calls for a “coalition of the willing” to halt the genocide in Darfur. So far so good.

But then he goes on to completely misrepresent the Bush administration’s original rationale for invading Iraq.

“In 2003, you’ll recall, the US was reviled as a unilateralist cowboy because it and its coalition of the poodles waged an illegal war unauthorised by the UN against a sovereign state run by a thug regime that was no threat to anyone apart from selected ethnocultural groups within its borders, which it killed in large numbers (Kurds and S-hia).”

Whoa! No mention of the bogus 9/11 link or the bogus WMDs, the original reasons for invading Iraq!! All this talk about stopping the killings and spreading democracy came much later.

At least Steyn favors doing something about Darfur.

And he scores serious points when he says no one can count on the UN. So true.

But his revisionist take on the Iraqi invasion (What?? No mention of 9/11 or WMDs?) is neocon logic at it’s best. I mean worst. If the US really invaded Iraq to “spread democracy” and “stop mass killings”, then why didn’t it just say so?

And we were able to take France back because we had help from the free French, Britain amd Canada while those “commie pinkos” had Hitler busy on the eastern front.

Meanwhile Andy’s fascist hero, Mussolini was getting his due from Italian partisans.

Completely ignoring the original neocon fantasy that the US invaded Iraq over 9/11 and WMDs isn’t irony.

It’s revisionism. It’s lying.

It’s a neocon trumpeter insisting we invaded Iraq for “altruistic” and “humanitarian” reasons when that was the last thing on the minds of the Bush administration.

Steyn and his fellow conspirators think if they repeat the lie enough, everyone will believe it. Andy and Danish are naive enough to join the dance.

President Bush: A campaign on harsh terrain in a vast country could be longer and more difficult than some have predicted. And helping Iraqis achieve a united, stable, and free country will require our sustained commitment. Yet, whatever is required of us, we will carry out all the duties we have accepted.

Hey Bed Wetter,

As much as it pains me, you’re right. Nowhere did GWB say that he would leave Iraq as soon as he had all Saddam’s WMD’s.

In point of fact, he had no exit strategy AT ALL!! One can only assume that his strategy is to OCCUPY Iraq….

But then again he keeps saying that he is bringing democracy to the Middle East. Why, pray tell, didn’t he start by introducing democracy to our allies (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Dubai…etc.)??

I think Iraq and North Korea have proven the point that GWB wasn’t REALLY after WMD’s. After all, they both tout their “nucular” programs to the whole world, just daring GWB to do something.

I don’t think ML did it on purpose. I don’t think that PK is a terrorist, or that ML intended to portray him as one.

It was a mistake, possibly because he drew a blank as he searched his brain to come out with something that didn’t bash Republicans for a change.

Nope, it was clearly intentional to portray the hapless Kennedy as a terrorist. Why not? The Pulitzer Patriot’s audience has not trouble depicting Bush as a terrorist.

In conclusion, this was a token effort by ML. He though the right wing would greet it with cheers. We didn’t, which shows how little he and his followers understand us.

I don’t have to be a mind reader to ‘divine’ the Bush administration mindset about Iraq leading up to the invasion.

It was about avenging 9/11, which Iraq/Saddam wasn’t responsible for.

It was about destroying Iraqi WMDs, which weren’t there.

That was the argument to Congress. That was the argument to the UN. That was the argument to the American people and the world. No clarvoyance necessary.

one of the reasons I stopped spending time on this blog is because it is absolutely fruitless trying to make sense with people who are obviously retarded, stubborn or both.

the half baked comebacks and rationales the Bushbots keep coming up with are truly pitiful.

there is definitely something wrong with you people, and I don’t want if rubbing off on me.

Bush is an abject failure. The guy doesn’t “lead” or “govern”. All he does is campaign. I must admit that the right has mastered the art of campaigning. Even tho it basically consists of sliming, lying and swift boating. But the problem is once the race is over, that’s it. You shot your wad, and much like a man suffering from premature ejaculation, all we get are excuses. Half baked ones at that: for the past 5 years it seems everything is Clinton’s fault, even tho Bush is the occupant of the Oval Office.

If it’s not Clinton’s fault, it’s always someone else’s, most likely a “disgruntled, incompetent” employee. Yet those people’s competencies were praised to high heaven before they dared speak the truth about the naked Chimperor.

People want leadership and results, not a bunch of lame, tired sound bites and campaign slogans.

If it wasn’t for his shameful hijacking of 9/11 these past years, people would have seen thru the B.S. sooner.

I think you are all about avenging the last elections.

Clearly, you have NOT been paying attention. I want to see the US rise up from the absolute mess that is the Bush camp’s foreign and domestic policy.

Your CNN link to what Albright and Berger said in 1998, 3 years before 9/11 and 5 years before the Iraq invasion is ancient history. It is worthless. Besides, don’t you hate Albright the liar and Berger the sock stuffer?

For the record, I don’t think President Bush lied to get us into Iraq. (Surprise!) His trusted aides (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz) may have, but he didn’t. There’s even a possibility those trusted aides were misled by the CIA, which is a whole ‘nuther matter. (Surprise again!) Bush is probably a decent guy. But he’s in waaaay over his head and should have stuck with financially shaky oil businesses and baseball teams.

It’s painfully clear that group insanity took over when this bunch decided to invade Iraq based on evidence that most of the rest of the world questioned.

And just how much of a dim bulb is Bush?

We’ll let the BBC report. You decide.

“President George W Bush has revealed to a German newspaper his best moment since he took office in 2001.”

“I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5lb (3.4kg) perch in my lake,” he told Bild am Sonntag.

And before you argue, “He was asked about his time at the Crawford ranch,” or some such drivel, let me point out that he answered 9/11 when he was asked about his worst moment.

If he weren’t the leader of Earth’s only superpower, this would be funny. But he is, and that makes this very, very scary.

Tom my good man, I am proud of your great work here. Bravely speaking truth to power makes you something of a hero of mine. Putting up with the cretins on this blog while you endlessly do battle with them must be horribly tough on your social scene. Please know that we are pulling for you as you advance our cause.

Here’s something that Queen Pinko can’t figure out on her own:

Both textbook economics and common sense teach that wages are a surefire measure of labor market abundance or shortage. When labor is genuinely scarce, and too many employers are chasing too few workers, businesses typically bid wages up in the competition to fill jobs. When too many workers are chasing too few jobs, employers typically cut wages, confident that beggars can’t be choosers. Labor Department data reveal that the wage-cutting scenario is exactly what has unfolded recently throughout the economy’s illegal immigrant-heavy sectors.

When you have 50 immigrants standing on every street corner waiting for a job, what do you think this does to the wages?

I’m not in the intelligence business:

What Negroponte should be doing is just the opposite. CIA intelligence analysis is inadequate and splitting it up is no answer. All the fuss about the Defense Department’s growing intel apparatus is misplaced. Rumsfeld and the Pentagon are fighting a war and to do that they need accurate intel and lots of it. The DoD is only trying to create what it must have because it doesn’t get it from CIA, DNI, or anywhere else. It’s the fastest solution to an urgent national security problem. The problem only grows worse outside DoD.

What good does it do Rumsfeld and our Armed Forces to know where the next Washington D.C. cocktail party will be held? Because that is all the CIA cares about.

The NYT story is relatively mild in mentioning it only once, but the editorial makes up for that by making the attack on Rumsfeld’s partial control of intelligence its central theme. The CIA sources who pushed these stories care only about their power and privileges. The essential transformation of the intelligence agencies to make America safer is not on their minds.

A dose of reality from finch’s newfound political bible:

Despite such numbers, analysts caution that a GOP wipeout in November is unlikely. Polls of generic support for the major parties are notoriously unreliable as a predictor.. In 1996, Democrats enjoyed a 14-point advantage over Republicans in congressional races only two months before the election. In the end, they gained only nine seats, and that was before sophisticated gerrymandering dramatically shrank the number of competitive districts and after Republicans won some heavily Democratic districts in 1994. Jonathan Last, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, also reminds us that “Democrats have shown time and again that they can blow a lead like nobody’s business.”

“When you have 50 immigrants standing on every street corner waiting for a job, what do you think this does to the wages?” A critical ommission here is the word illegal. If the 50 were standing in your outer office with legitimate papers and able to demand an appropriate wage for their skill the balanced of the whole argument would change.

Iraqi troops supported by Col. Gronski’s soldiers killed more than 100 insurgents in a battle last week, Col. Gronski told CNN. Two Iraqi soldiers died in the battle. No Americans were killed.

The battle started when Coalition forces noticed insurgents removing weapons from a train station in the southeastern part of the city. Col. Gronski slammed them with an air strike, and then the Iraqi troops moved in.

“The Iraqi army is conducting aggressive operations here based on human intelligence from the people of Ramadi themselves,” Col. Gronski said.

LTD: You’re missing my point, Queen Pinko did a column Sunday ragging on the economy because of falling lower class wages. If you sent half of the illegals back to where they came from, wages would rise because workers would become scarce. I don’t necessarily support that idea but it is the solution.

Simple solution to the declining real wage problem and the illegal alien problem.

Lock up every business that hires illegal aliens. Jail the CEOs and CFOs who turn a blind eye to the practice.

This includes homebuilders like Pulte and KB Home who know damn well that subcontractors are hiring illegals and couldn’t give a damn. Also hotel chain operators like Hyatt and Sheraton who employ illegals who don’t even have a forged Social Security card because they’ll work for peanuts.

Watch illgeal job seekers in parking lots disappear. Watch wages rise. Problem solved.

Of course, it’ll never happen, because the very same businesses making fortunes off the swewat of the illegals are the ones giving huges sums to the GOP.

And Republicrats would never bite the hands that feed them, would they?

And don’t counter with the argument that higher wages will mean higher prices. Some dolts say the only cheap approach to the illegal worker problem is defending the status quo. But that’s not cheap at all when you consider what we pay for their health care, children’s education, etc.

It’s a great plan, but as long as the Republicrats are in power, it’ll never happen.

There have been many memorable moments in George Bush’s career - invading Iraq, declaring the war “accomplished”, Hurricane Katrina. But the US president recalled that his greatest moment in office had come not on the field of battle but while out fishing.

Colin Powell tried to resingn becuse he knew there were no wmd’s but was bulldozed into giving his lying speech saying there were. Powell blew his “integrity” for position and power. The world powers were against going in becaus they knew the truth, only bootlicking Blair went along for a share of the oil. British Petroleum was slavering for a chunk.Bush again looked into a “soul”, this time Merkel’s of Germany. Remember when he looked into Putin’s soul? He should have been looking at the evidence Richard Clarke and others were giving him about terrorists.

G.I. Joe,

Speaking of Second Thoughts:

EVERY THOUGHT and perception in those days was filtered through the dark and distorting glass of the Vietnam war. The left was hooked on Vietnam. It was an addictive drug whose rush was a potent mix of melodrama, self-importance and moral rectitude. Vietnam was a universal solvent — the explanation for every evil we saw and the justification for every excess we committed.

But leftists seemed so addicted to finding an American cause at the root of every problem that they couldn’t recognize indigenous evils. As the Khmer Rouge were about to take over, Noam Chomsky wrote that their advent heralded a Cambodian liberation, “a new era of economic development and social justice.” The new era turned out to be the killing fields that took the lives of 2 million Cambodians.
