Duller, ever duller.

It’s a true mark of a dullard to reduce the chance for a free, democratically governed, financially successful Iraq, where there was once only suffering and failure, into the “ego” of one person.

Should this not be the hope of a normal, sane country that is at war with blood thirsty suicidal terrorists?

I had envisioned a more complex scenario with Duh-bya and Rummy lining dead soldiers at the pearly gates, trying to identify which died for the prior casualty.

We won’t concern ourselves with how this will be interpreted by our enemies (Paper Tiger), or; how it will affect our image amongst those who have placed their futures in our hands by trusting we would finish the difficult fight. liberals, there is no defeat too grave, because they want to continue the failed policy of whacking moles.

WASHINGTON - Democrats are not ruling out raising taxes for the wealthiest people to help pay for tax cuts for middle-income families, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

She spoke of pursuing an estimated $300 billion that people owe in back taxes, eliminating deficit spending and reducing wasteful federal spending.

“As we review what we get from … collecting our taxes and reducing waste, fraud and abuse, investing in education and in initiatives which will bring money into the Treasury, it may be that (repealing) tax cuts for those making over a certain amount of money, $500,000 a year, might be more important to the American people than ignoring the educational and health needs of America’s children,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in an interview aired Sunday.

A budget rule, known as the pay-as-you-go rule, that was approved by the Democratic-run House on Friday requires that tax cuts have corresponding cuts in government spending or tax increases elsewhere to pay for them.

“What we’re saying is Democrats propose tax cuts for middle-income families. And we want to have ‘pay-go,’ no new deficit spending. We’re not going to start with repealing tax cuts, but they certainly are not off the table for people making over half a million dollars a year,” Pelosi said.

It’s about time that the middle class got a significant tax cut too. Republicans will only allow significant tax cuts for the rich while they give the middle class ‘token’ tax cuts of little value. Watch how they vote on this one and see if it ain’t so! Look at your taxes this year, can you honestly say that your taxes have been significantly lowered. Anything the middle class got was more than eaten up in decreased property values, inflation, job outsourcings, and stagnant wage increases. Wake up America, you’ve been hornswoggled!

President Bush’s new plan for Iraq will call for increasing the number of U.S. troops in Baghdad — and perhaps other areas — by at least 20,000, sources said.

The plan had been dubbed “A New Way Forward” as of last week.

To paraphrase The Who: Meet the new invasion, same as the old invasion…

What’s the matter? Not enough dead GIs yet? And dead for what? The Cheney Doctrine?

http://www.cheneydoctrine.com/

“If there’s a one percent chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response,” Cheney said. He paused to assess his declaration. “It’s not about our analysis, or finding a preponderance of evidence,” he added. “It’s about our response.”

For once, I agree with Wooten. Let’s not waste a lot of the legislature’s time on education.

How much money does it take to teach Georgia’s youth to say “Do You Want Fries With That?” Oh, maybe we can provide the technical schools with the funds to teach our high school graduates to operate one of those cash registers with the little pictures of meals and food items on the keys.

The good jobs are being shipped overseas anyway—either that or people like Arlen Specter are slipping in amendments to bills to import more foreign workers to take the good jobs—at reduced wages, of course.

Let’s spend the legislature’s precious time on more important things—like passing amendments to ban flag burning or abortion. Maybe the legislature can come up with another 20 or so amendments to clog up the 2008 ballot, something like, “Shall the cousins of widows of deceased turpentine industry workers be exempt from ad valorem taxes on forests and the structures thereon?”

Whatever they do, the legislators in this session should not tamper with education. Georgia’s reputation as the next-dumbest state in the union is at risk otherwise.

Yes 9/11 was bad. Yes we should do what we can to prevent it EXCEPT when it comes to limiting our freedom. The phrase “reasonable limitation of freedoms” is a trap, and we have fallen into it.

Now we must extricate ourselves. We cannot force the world to be as we would wish, we must work with it as it is, and over time, if we truly are a free country, and truly freedom is better than the alternatives, over time we will prevail. Not with weapons, bullets or violence.

Ok a few things, the way the doctrine is put foward looks at possibilities without consideration of evidence. Then the country takes action based solely upon a possibility, even if it is remote. We barely have the resources to act upon confirmed threats, we cannot act upon possibilities. Also the doctrine is in general meaningless, because it is not and will not be acted upon. Pakistani scientists (AQ Kahn) did give nuclear technology to N Korea and Libya. For this, he is celebrated as a hero in Pakistan. He is not under arrest, and lives well in Pakistan.

Are you and Everyman “slaves” together?

RE,

The so-called “Cheney Doctrine” is not a formal doctrine at all, but is Ron Suskind’s interpretation of a single statement that Cheney made, which specifically referred to the hypothetical event of a nuclear alliance between Al Qaeda and Pakistan.

{{“We have to deal with this new type of threat in a way we haven’t yet defined… . With a low-probability, high-impact event like this … If there’s a one percent chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response.”}}

Note the phrase “in a way we haven’t yet defined”. We have never taken any military action against Pakistan, have we? The whole subject is a red herring.

Huge Global Warming enthusiasts,

Aren’t you all asking us to utilize something like “The Cheney Doctrine” by believing your scary computer models and asking us to take preemptive action based on a fairy tale?

Getalife,

Murtha can’t block funding for any escalation plan, if the troops leave in the near future, and you are incredibly gullible if you think he can.

What needs clarifying? In spite of her unwillingness to read or understand it, is incredible in light of Cheney’s own words, REPEATED here:

“It’s not about our analysis, or finding a preponderance of evidence,” he added. “It’s about our response.”

And here’s evidence (note the author) that my moderate view is shared across the political spectrum:

“For America, the logic of the Bush Doctrine of Pre-emptive War points to war without end.”

Poll: Americans want Democrats, not Bush, at helm

WASHINGTON — Democrats have taken control of Congress this month amid a wave of good feeling from a public that places one issue at the top of their to-do list: Iraq.

A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday shows that Americans by 2-to-1 — 63% to 32% — want congressional Democrats, not President Bush, to have more influence over the direction the nation takes in 2007 .

Half or more of those surveyed identify four issues as “extremely important” for the White House and Congress to deal with this year: The situation in Iraq, terrorism, corruption in government and health care.

That’s a shift from recent years. At the beginning of 2005 and 2006, terrorism and Iraq essentially were tied as the issues of highest importance to the most Americans. But the war in Iraq has grown in importance each year and now has clearly moved into the top spot.

“Democrats have taken control of Congress this month amid a wave of good feeling from a public that places one issue at the top of their to-do list: Iraq.”

That’s the point I’ve been making the past week - and have had absolutely no response. I’ve pointed out the 100-hour agenda - no Iraq. I’ve pointed out the Democratic victories as attributed to Iraq - and now, no action, or business as usual. I’ve asked the Democratic/Pelosi/etc supporters why they are not outraged - and have been met with silence.

Well, Liberal,@ 4:10

You have finally made a true statement that covers about 90% of the liberal posters on this blog. You said:

I HATE GEORGE BUSH MORE THAN I LOVE AMERICA.

Liberals here today are applauding a man, Luckovich, who wants to say that Americans are throwing our volunteer military into a volcano as sacrificial “meat”. There is no sign of respect for those who fight for us.

Their leader is pictured as a Viking chief murdering our troops without regret.

The cause for all this, as seen by Luckovich, is Bush’s ego, not the president’s great desire to protect Americans by fighting terrorism far away instead of in our homeland.

The liberal vipers here cannot applaud enough, anything that undermines our efforts in Iraq.

To paraphrase “Liberal”: They hate our president more than they love our country. They will demand that our troops be brought home in disgrace, the terrorists left to thrive and the Iraqis left with broken promises and a broken country.

This blog seems to be a perpetuator of anti-Americanism. Yes, I know. To kill a country with dissent is good for it. Maybe your country, but not mine.

No, bigot, as always, the joke is most definitely still on you.

Your aversion to realize the obvious - that the UN and all of those other prestigous organizations, you hate and discount, solely because they logically propose what you don’t want to hear- offer many, many ideas from many, many people.

Not all of them are in agreement.

Are you really so stupid as to think that the United Nations doesn’t have thousands of pages of documents supporting their overall endorsement of man-induced global warming? Please tell me that you’re really not that dense, that you’re hanging your hopes on this one argument.

Only partisan fools, like yourself, consistently look for and find the one example to support their position and throw away the much, much larger and vast number of others that they disagree with, and expect people to think you’re making sense.

You are not. Speaking of which, did you watch Inherit the Wind this weekend on PBS? (Have you heard of that network? Although, it may be too “liberal” for your tastes.)

In case you also slept through your Humanities classes (in addition to your Science classes), it was first a play then a movie about the Scopes Monkey Trial. Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for his role as Clarence Darrow.

Just for you. America is the only country I have ever lived in, and I love it deeply. The history, the struggle to make it free are inspiring to me. The wisdom of the forefathers in drafting the constitution is amazing. An amazing, imperfect compromise that recognized it is imperfect and left room for alteration. I have visited a few other counties and would not live in any other. I would defend this country at all costs.

I also think GWB has made terrible decisions, recieved poor advice in troubling times.

My disatisfaction which does border on hatred of the administration is in it’s continued practice of simplification, obfuscation, and misdirection of responsibility coupled with the inability to admit any mistake in it’s poor policy making.

A few years back almost everyone on the left, from the lowliest blogger to the mighty New York Times, was acting as if the mere fact of Plame’s employment with the CIA was a huge secret, the breaching of which was a terrible affront to national security. Now she wants to write a “lucrative book” about “her undercover work for the agency”—a book that presumably will include more than one sentence, and thus will go into some detail about what she did there.

Where’s the outrage? Browsing the Times editorial page and the Angry Left blogs—Daily Kos, Atrios, Puffington Host and most especially Talking Points Memo—we couldn’t find any mention of big-bucks book deal.

It is sad to realize that many of those who once treated Plame as a put-upon patriot did so merely out of partisanship, not love of country.

And to think I once said the AJC would never teach me anything.

Surely that isn’t an American cemetery that Mikey drew, after all, Bush is just doing what you liberals have been hammering on him to do:

REP. PELOSI: What I would do and what I think our country must do in Iraq is take an assessment of where we are. And there has to be a leveling with the American people and with the Congress of the United States as to what is really actually happening there. It’s very hard to say what you would do. We need more troops on the ground. General…

We all know you idiots didn’t really mean, you say alot of things that you can’t remember a few weeks down the road.

Which is why I like having Bush as our leader, when he says he is going to win in Iraq, he actually means it.

He’s not a spineless surrender monkey, part time war mongers when it’s safe, “support the troops” until you can stab them in the back, like you pacifists are.
