They’ve been fighting each other since the first time an arab wouldn’t share a square with a kurd. Civil War? Bush says no. History says, duh.

The pope was scolded by Turkey’s Billy Graham yesterday for his “Islam begets violence” remarks last fall. The Turk actually threatened violence by proxy when he pointed out that the pope’s remarks could lead some islamics to commit violence. Isn’t that a snafu wrapped in a catch 22 and then shoved up a turkish fubar?
Somebody stop my third grader from reciting the gettysburg address before Iraq falls into civil war!

But Mr. Hastings has strong support from the Congressional Black Caucus, meaning Mrs. Pelosi will pay a political price if she passes him over for someone else. This is another no-win situation that could easily have been avoided, and further demonstrates her political skills may be inadequate to her new position as speaker of the House.

By past definitions of relative power, al-Qaeda and its epigones were weak and could not defeat the West militarily. But their genius was knowing of our own self-loathing, of our inability to determine their evil from our good, of our mistaken belief that Islamists were confused about, rather than intent to destroy, the West, and most of all, of our own terror that we might lose, if even for a brief moment, the enjoyment of our good life to defeat the terrorists. In learning what the Islamists are, many of us, and for the first time, are also learning what we are not. And in fighting these fascists, we are to learn whether our freedom can prove stronger than their suicide belts and improvised explosive devices.
Merry Christmas!

It’s tragic how politicians forget the lessons of history and repeat mistakes of the past. On the pledge of obtaining peace and bringing our troops home from Vietnam, Richard Nixon was narrowly elected president in 1968.
But instead of getting us out right away, Nixon wanted to show our “strength” to the world. So we wound up fighting in an alien land with an alien culture, rarely knowing friend from foe, for another four years. Over 20,000 more American deaths and billions of dollars wasted before the futility of the war was realized.
We finally left and Vietnam was unified two years later, after the North was victorious. The world didn’t fall like dominoes to communism afterward, as we had been told for so long. The highly nationalistic Vietnamese were finally under one flag. Their 10,000-day civil war was over.
Terrorists are not going to take over the world when we leave Iraq, either. So will we leave now or will we wait until later, as we did in Vietnam?
Correspondent Eric Sevareid once said of Vietnam that we weren’t really fighting a military force. We were fighting a society equipped with a total faith. It was that point that took many people 10,000 days to grasp. Will it take that long this time?

Just off the cuff, I’d rank Presidential blunders thusly:
Iraq…no question. Bad decision, trumped up the evidence to get political support, mismanagement and incompetence have reigned supreme since the invasion.
Iran/Contra - great idea…sell high-tech weaponry to IRAN and illegally fund your own war in central american - Brilliant.
Foreign policy in iraq in the 80’s - propping up, arming, training and providing chemical and biological weapons to Saddam Hussein. Wasn’t that brilliant.
Foreign policy in Afghanistan in the 80’s - Arming, training, supporting the same people that would form the Taliban and provide sanctuary to Al Qaeda - stunningly short sighted.
Monica Lewinsky - Never let the little guy do the thinking… An unfortunate stain (chuckle) on an extraordinarily successful presidency.
Watergate - It wasn’t the crime…it was the coverup.
Waco - Major screwup, completely mismanaged and caused a lot of unnecessary death of innocent children.
I’ll think it thru and add some others. But, the point is, Bush wins hands down…

Not taking Iran’s a-ss out in 1979 is the whole reason that 9/11 happened and why we are fighting them in Iraq today.
This is not Bush’s war, this is Jimmy’s war, dumba-ss.

Terrific cartoon, Mike.
It is funny and effective satire. Like political cartoons at their best, the spotlight of satire beams on several subjects simultaneously. If Bush’s legacy is not to be a marble wall honoring the dead from Bush’s War, then it should be an outhouse, appropriate for the storage of Bush’s greatest ideas about peace and democracy.
That you would envision Halliburton as the contractor is a stroke of genius. Halliburton is currently building Bush’s present. Of course, they should build his legacy, as well; that marriage is of historic sweep, a marvel of intelligent design.
I take it you lacked room to draw the reflecting pools in front of the Bush Memorial? One would reflect the Social Security/Medicare debacle; the other, Bush’s ignorance about science and stem cell research. And the budget you propose! That’s a stinger: Bush has treated the taxpayers’ money with contempt throughout his reign. Well done, Mike.

Remember that Dubya is a uniter, not a divider.
Following through on their threat, AP is reporting that the al-Sadr bloc is backing out of the Iraqi government:
Lawmakers and cabinet ministers loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr have suspended participation in parliament and the government to protest Prime minister Nouri al-Maliki’s summit with U.S. President George W. Bush.
A statement issued Wednesday by the 30 lawmakers and five Cabinet ministers said their action was necessary because the meeting constituted a “provocation to the feelings of the Iraqi people and a violation of their constitutional rights.” The statement did not explain that claim.

Goldie - Regarding your 9:13. It seems that is part of the Dubya scare tactic. They tell their moronic followers that the only thing keeping the terrorists away from our shores is the occupation of Iraq. You’d have to be blind in one eye and not be able to see out of the other to believe that.
I can see it now. The Shiites and Sunnis, on hearing that the US is pulling out, decide to shake hands and split the cost of charter planes to come and attack Des Moines.
I feel that if we pulled out of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc we would face no threat except for the enemies we’ve created over the last 3 years. Leaving now will prevent that from threat from expanding.

This country is at war and this blog is composed of about 50 posts concerning an outhouse drawn by a two bit man who hates the president of the United States.
I might add that the President was elected by the people of this country TWICE. Luckovich couldn’t get elected as president of the Outhouse Association.
Maybe next year he will receive the Pulitzer Prize for Outstanding Outhouses. That should include a life time supply of air freshner for the AJC for their pollution in the pathways of what is called news.

Poor Little Andy,
Not capable of acknowledging that Reagen/Bush not only sold Iran high tech weaponry in the years following 1979, but sold chemical/biological weapons to Saddam, trained Saddam’s forces, propped up and supported his dictatorship, didn’t finish the job in 1991, and trained/armed the Afghanis that later formed the Taliban.

I have had it with Republicans who hate America, who hate our freedoms, who hate what this country stands for, and who think that the only way to save our freedoms from the terrorists is for us to destroy those freedoms first. Honestly, how do these cowardly, quaking-in-their-boots, America-haters even dare call themselves patriotic Americans? They are terrified of their own shadows.
Newt Gingrich made an announcement at a freedom of speech dinner in New Hampshire that I find to be incredibly stupid.
**Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich yesterday said the country will be forced to reexamine freedom of speech to meet the threat of terrorism.
Gingrich, speaking at a Manchester awards banquet, said a “different set of rules” may be needed to reduce terrorists’ ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.
“We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade,” said Gingrich, a Republican who helped engineer the GOP’s takeover of Congress in 1994.**
I suppose Newt’s answer to the terrorists hating us for our freedoms is to just take those freedoms away. Frankly I would rather lose a city than to water down the freedoms that so many have fought and died for over the last couple of centuries.

Sen. Chuck Hagel is one of the few true conservatives left in the Repugnanta Party:
The time for more U.S. troops in Iraq has passed. We do not have more troops to send and, even if we did, they would not bring a resolution to Iraq. Militaries are built to fight and win wars, not bind together failing nations. We are once again learning a very hard lesson in foreign affairs: America cannot impose a democracy on any nation — regardless of our noble purpose.

If you simply must fulfill your needs, this is not the place to do so. If your weird sexual desires must be satiated, you’re better off trying the streets with some guy. I visit here at most about once per week and almost never read your inanities, for I know full well that they, like most of the other little people here, offer nothing more than the constant regurgitated, rabid, repititious rightwing ravings of an angry, bitter, disappointed little loser whom life has repeatedly passed by and eliminated. I see where you have made a fair beginning of a list of those who continually speak waaay over your head. Robert, Spike, etc. A good start, but where are the other names? Truthman, Midori, Getalife, N GA, etc? You really should place a crayon & piece of paper next to your puter to enable you to better keep track. This blog appears to be your life - your entire life. You should remain in your low station of that life, perhaps only maintaining a pathetic dialogue with your equally uneducated, undesirable, intellectually impoverished twin, bi-danish. AKA “The Hog Man of Talladega.” That fat, slovenly, grotesque, roach-encrusted creature attempts to define and explain to others all that he himself finds utterly impossible to comprehend. With all the scholarly acumen of the brain of a dull-normal 6 year-old. We continually find him in his dumpster hovel, hunched over his dried-food covered little computer station, amusing himself by abusing himself…and catching the stuff in his hat! Voraciously chewing upon and blowing giant bubbles with the used condoms he finds strewn about what we shall euphemistically call his…neighborhood.

My bet is the memo about Maliki’s incompetence was an orchestrated leak representing the first installment in the administrations’ efforts to SPIN its way out of Iraq.
The White House will drum up a ‘wedge’ between Bush and Maliki, sensationalize it and, ultimately, find ‘irreconcilable differences’ that necessitate the need to redploy our troops.
Gone will be the rhetoric about ‘fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them here…and we can only lose if we leave…’

Hey, wouldn’t you know, the Bush43 Administration has done more to help Iran than Reagn/Bush41 did by selling them high-tech weaponry!
The kind of service that the Americans, with all their hatred, have done us,” said Mr. Rezai, “no superpower has ever done anything similar. America destroyed all our enemies in the region. It destroyed the Taliban. It destroyed Saddam Hussein. … It did all this in order to confront us face to face, and in order to place us under siege. But the American teeth got so stuck in the soil of Iraq and Afghanistan that if they manage to drag themselves back to Washington in one piece, they should thank Allah.”

Lohse, a social work master’s student at Southern Connecticut State University, says he has proven what many progressives have probably suspected for years: a direct link between mental illness and support for President Bush.
Lohse says his study is no joke. The thesis draws on a survey of 69 psychiatric outpatients in three Connecticut locations during the 2004 presidential election. Lohse’s study, backed by SCSU Psychology professor Jaak Rakfeldt and statistician Misty Ginacola, found a correlation between the severity of a person’s psychosis and their preferences for president: The more psychotic the voter, the more likely they were to vote for Bush.

I am an Army sergeant who just returned from Iraq this past week. I myself enlisted within weeks of 9/11 and shipped out within days of graduating from the University of Texas four long years ago. In the time since, I’ve served in the infantry in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and spent many a patrol or mountain climb alongside some of the greatest men our country has to offer. Better men, I may add, than any of the ones I spent my carefree college years with. And in many ways, smarter too.

Oh, and Jenn…what about the rollerskates. Tie a rope to your dog and let him do all the work, hoping he doesn’t decide to cross the street in pursuit of a cat. Curbs and cars can ruin the fun.
The ice cream truck…the dog gets the last few licks of the popsicle, he earned them.

How could a President get so many things wrong and still have 31% approval rating?
I mean, what would a President have to do to go to 0%?
President Bush travels to Jordan this week amid a consensus among U.S. allies in the Middle East that the region is monumentally worse off now than it was when he took office six years ago. In Iraq, there seems little prospect of achieving anything that could be construed as a U.S. victory — and as a result, it is unlikely to send the promised tidal wave of freedom crashing across the Arab world. Instead, Iraq has effectively disintegrated into a Sunni-Shi’ite civil war that threatens to spread instability throughout the region.

Childbirth without drugs. Women in labor screaming because all they got for their hours of effort was a “sourpuss” like rushncap.
Later on, rushncap would be distracted by his bush and wonder what cajones were. He would go to his Mom to ask. She would pat him on the head, and gently say….don’t worry son, you’re different.

Before I go catch up on the blog I just got back from North Georgia (not to be confused with the goat) and caught the last hour of Hannity’s show on the Gainesville station. It’s coming up in a few minutes on WSB and the segment is fascinating. It’s an interview with someone that was on the plane those Imams tried to disrupt.

From theAJC website:
White House counselor Dan Bartlett denied that the delay was a snub by al-Maliki directed at Bush or was related to the leak of a memo written by White House National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley questioning the prime minister’s capacity for controlling violence in Iraq. Here’s the link: http://www.ajc.com/news/content/shared-gen/ap/Middle_East/Bush.html
Do we have another example of the Republican tendency to open mouth, leak document, insert foot, or are other forces at work behind this cancellation?

RW-(the original) - read the same thing on Drudge. Another case of the mainstream media ignoring stories that don’t fit their agenda.
getalife at 9:00: excuse my tardiness but I just came online. You wrote: “Webb should have stomped a mud hole in w’s punk a-ss.”
My, my, it always amazes me how neolibs are so quick to resort to violence. Webb was at a meeting with other freshmen - he should have consulted with each one (allies), formed a consensus, gained approval, rechecked no new information was at hand, offered to bring Republican freshmen in to show leadership, then sent an envoy to the President - instead you advocate a preemptive strike. Such a kneejerk militaristic response to conflict. Repeatedly.
getalife at 9:13: “Jimmy Carter: “Iraq…One Of The Greatest Blunders That American Presidents Have Ever Made”
To which we can add “Jimmy Carter: One Of The Greatest Blunders That American Voters Have Ever Made.”
Buy Danish a few times today regarding jihadists: just think England, America, France, Soviet Union in 1935. He was just a raving painter, correct?
I once heard a high-ranking Soviet defector remark Americans, who repeatedly enter conflict woefully unprepared, have this optimistic faith that because we’ve prevailed we will continue to prevail. His point was that past performance was no guarantee of future success (okay, he was Soviet military, not a stockbroker).
