“U.K. leaving,” eh?
On February 21, 2007, British Prime Minister Tony Blair announced that 600 British troops would return home within the next few months, with another 500 to follow by the end of 2007, {{{{{{{{{{leaving approximately 5,000 troops on the ground;}}}}}}}}}}}}} from a high of approximately {{{{40,000 troops}}}} during the major combat operations phase.
Is it just me or does anyone else sense the total lameness of this cartoon, the half hearted effort, how cartoon boy has almost completely resigned himself to America’s success in Iraq, as much as he hates to admit it?
Look at the pure viciousness that is drawn into this cartoon, this was not drawn by anyone triumphant in their position, no, this was drawn by a bitter loser, someone that is starting to realize that Al Qaeda is not going to defeat the United States.
And Luckovich hates the very thought of that.
Yes, Bush IS going to reign supreme in this conflict, it’s all over except for the celebrations:
The U.S. military is preparing for a spring offensive against Sunni insurgents and Al Qaeda fighters in the lawless city of Ramadi as part of the troop surge to impose security in Iraq. U.S. and Iraqi security forces are currently performing a security crackdown in Baghdad, where they have already killed more than 400 suspected militants, according to Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Good luck slanting that, pinko.

The Democrats have no conscience or moral purpose whatsoever. They are worse than mere hypocrites. They are accessories to the murder of American troops. By not approving of a mission that they have funded all along, they are revealed for what they really are — a group of cowards whose actions are demoralizing the troops and encouraging our enemies to kill more American soldiers. The fact that they are harming our troops’ morale by playing into the hands of the enemy means nothing to these Democrats. The Democrats simply don’t have the guts to vote to cut off the funding for the war, so they came up with this absurd resolution simply to humiliate George Bush. The Democrats are more concerned with their political futures than anything else. They are emboldening the enemy by saying this is a worthless war. In effect, their actions will only result in the loss of more of our troops.
Nothing I can add to that.

I just want to take a minute to thank LuckoDull for his active participation here.
Despite his professed vehement disdain for the Atlanta Journal Constitution he forces himself to get up early and post his thoughts here, before any one else, before actuallay being allowed in the gate.
He sets the example for self-sacrifice, giving his time and effort to posting here all day long, every day. Such dedication to his cause!
Each morning, as the tea kettle heats up - I and numerous others get the opportunity to read LuckoDull and wonder - who is this “masked man”?
Not bird nor plane nor even frog, and most certainly not an underdog.
Well, anyway. Keep it up LuckoDull. You make us mad. You fan the flames of the progressive heart. You keep us fighting. You constantly remind us of all the tired old conservative, mean spirited, idealogues that we have yet to convert away from the dark side.
You continue to set an example of what we do not want to become.
You do much more good for our side than for your. Keep it up!

It’s funny how different people see totally different things when looking at a cartoon. Lucko Dull sees “viciousness” in the portrayal of our Great Decider. When I first looked at it I saw what I initially thought was a photo; Dubya’s teeny head revealed the truth of a small mind, even smaller heart, and an almost total lack of vision and awareness of the complexity of the world around us.

I ove how liberals claim that the results of the last election demonstrates that “americans” share their specific policy views. Polling demonstrates that, while Americans are displeased with the conduct of the war and think it was a mistake, few Americans want the pullout that Mike and the other wacko liberals on the AJC editorial board demand.
Of course, the AJC is not about facts, it is about liberal propganda.

Mrs. Godzilla,
This makes ME mad -
Let’s consider the Congressional hearings confirming General David Petraeus as the top American ground commander in Iraq. Petraeus argued vehemently for the troop surge that the Democrats oppose, and yet the Democrats all voted for him anyway and wished him the best of luck and success in his mission.
That’s right. They voted for him, wished him “Godspeed”, and immediately proceded to undermine the very mission and commader they had just unanimously approved.
Here are the “tricky questions”:
Is this how the “progressive heart” beats? Set in motion by a “progressive” brain which operates with shameless duplicity and even treachery?
I’m running out. I’ll check in later ro review your twisted explanations.

With Bush’s approval ratings mired by the unpopular war, Americans trust Congressional Democrats over Bush to handle the situation in Iraq by a 54 percent to 34 percent margin…Fifty-five percent “strongly disapprove” of his work there, while only 17 percent “strongly approve” of it.
Some of the posters here are now a PROUD part of the 17% radical, extreme(ly wrong) minority…

How about that? Another despicable cartoon by Luckovich. More explanations by liberals telling us why they demean the troops and the Commander-in-chief.
I would like to hear one liberal say outright “I hope we win this war.” I would like to see a patriotic Luckovich cartoon just once.
Don’t you liberals feel just a little bit guilty running your country down, undermining troops morale, saying one thing and then doing another? Doesn’t it dawn on you that you are working against your country?
Right away we will hear from liberals that it is dissent. It is also retreat.
Luckodull has gotten it right and you don’t want to hear it. I repeat his last sentence:”[Democrats] are emboldening the enemy by saying this is a worthless war.”

Here’s a “tricky question” for you and your liberals ml. Eliminating comments on what “should have been” and addressing what it is you’ve been wanting.
You wanted Iraqis to take over. They are taking over in Basra. The brits are withdrawing so they can.
You wanted more troops in Afghanistan to fight Al Qaeda and the Taliban. The brits are sending troops into Afghanistan to supplement the 80,000 coalition and NATO forces already there.
So what exactly is it you pacifists want?
You want to eliminate America’s military all together…
New battle lines separate military recruiters, foes
…in the hopes that the world will come together in peace. Puhhhleeeze, tell me you’re not that naive.
Dropped into a left-wing blogsite where some woman’s solution to the world’s war problem was simply to become writers of “peace”. Write books about “peace” they all said. We can change the world.

@@, that is a slanted, reach…
First of all, the vast majority of Americans are AGAINST THIS WAR. (FYI: the vast majority of Americans are not ‘pacifists’).
The war in Iraq is unjustifiable AND has been incompetently administered from the beginning. Not to mention that, although ‘sold’ as the ‘central front in the war on terror,’ it was waged on a country that had few ties to terrorism and has served only to exacerbate terrorism.
What do the majority of rational Americans want, you ask?
WE want the President that started this war to acknowledge the mistakes…and to start the process to repair the damage that his poor decisions have wrought.
Do NOT be so narrow-minded that you consider criticism of this President and his poor decisions equates to a lack of patriotism.
That is the desperate bastion of a truly weak-minded person…one that has lost the argument on the basis of logic.

“NY Post, Fox News touted flawed GOP poll to claim “America Says Let’s Win [Iraq] War” Summary: The New York Post and Fox News touted a poll that found that “57 percent of Americans supported ‘finishing the job in Iraq’ — keeping U.S. troops there until the Iraqis can provide security on their own.” But neither the Post nor Fox News noted that the company that conducted the poll considers itself a “Republican polling firm” and that poll questions apparently were, according to the head of a different Republican polling firm, “designed to register certain responses.”

The Republican polling firm of Public Opinion Strategies (POS) polled for the only freshman Republican U.S. Senator, one new Governor, and five new members of Congress. Overall, the firm polled for four winning U.S. Senate races, six winning GOP Governors, at least 46 Members of Congress, as well as numerous downticket statewide and legislative winners.

Goooood Morning Viet-Iraq!~
Well I just got back from my vacation in Florida. Had a nice long dinner talk with a friend of mine in the military. He is waiting to see if he is going to be re-deployed again. He would rather get re-deployed than take voluntary assignments, so his benefits are protected. Seems they shaft soldiers voluntering for duty assignments.
He and I both see things in Iraq a bit differently, yet some things the same.
First he believes we should stay in Iraq. He feels that we should maintain a prescence there long enough to at least attempt to stabilize a fully working government. After listening to his reasons I have to agree but for other reasons. We need to stay at least long enough to see if we can stabilize what we broke.
He and I both agree that getting rid of the Saddam regime was a good thing.
We also both feel that terrorism is not the issue in Iraq, as that is just political garbage, but thwarting a de-stabilized Iraq, is needed.
WE do disagree on the reasons for going into Iraq, but we agree that Iraq hurt us with the overall missions in Afghanistan against Bin Laden.
Should we pull out immediately? =No=
Should we work towards pulling out as soon as reasonably possible? =Yes=
Should we be there in the first place? =Questionable=
It does make us the invaders of a sovereign country. This is a dangerous concept to use, by invading as “pre-emptive defense” as our excuse for a war. That opens a big pandora’s box giving leeway for many other countrys to use this excuse for their actions.
But one thing that we clearly agreed on was that the profiteering and government supported corporate greed was the most dishonorable thing our country has done (and is still doing) in Iraq. That should be addressed and the abusers brought to justice at some point, if we are truly a decent country.

Here’s one for all you right wingers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — A group of influential Christian conservatives and their allies emerged from a private meeting at a Florida resort this month dissatisfied with the Republican presidential field and uncertain where to turn. The event was a meeting of the Council for National Policy, a secretive club whose few hundred members include Dr. James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family, the Rev. Jerry Falwell of Liberty University and Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform. Although little known outside the conservative movement, the council has become a pivotal stop for Republican presidential primary hopefuls, including George W. Bush on the eve of his 1999 primary campaign. But in a stark shift from the group’s influence under President Bush, the group risks relegation to the margins. But in the aftermath of the stinging defeats in the midterm elections, and with discontent over the Iraq war weighing heavily on the public, some Christian conservatives worry that they may find themselves on the sidelines of the presidential race.

Jerry and the boys were all there, and John McCain came down to kiss reverend Falwell’s ring and declare his own plans to overturn “Roe vs Wade”. Johhny wanted back into the fold of the Zealot Voter Pack and it’s Pope Falwell. He needs them to become Mr President! (flip flopper that he is).

Dusty,
Whose post did you reread?
I didn’t say anybody was ‘hiding’ anybody, I said that safe havens have been established.
Pakistan is absolutely providing safe haven to al Qaeda.
Read VP Cheney’s own words: Vice President Dick Cheney warned Monday that al Qaeda is “regrouping” in Pakistan’s remote border
You should study this issue in more depth Dusty…unless you prefer to be blissfully ignorant of the facts.
Al Qaeda is in Pakistan, our soldiers are not allowed to enter Pakistan, and Musharrefs army has negotiated an agreement with the people in these areas to leave them alone.
I do not know what your definition of a safe haven is, but please share it with me if it differs…

{{DebbieDoRight,Your post is nothing but pure propaganda. There is no other name for such trash. It is not rational}}
But the link for that rag that Dull pointed us to was what? Truth?
{{You are posting against your own husband’s Commander-in-Chief. That makes it even worse.}}
Correct. my HUSBAND’s CIC; not mine. We are two separate entities with our own thoughts and opinions.
{{Seems you could do better than that. Have you ever heard of SUPPORT?}}
How I support my husband, let me count the ways…
a) Since he decided to forgo the GREAT job offer he received and re-enlised into the military instead, I support my husband financially by paying for that nice Audi he’s rolling in, (it seems with his militay “pay” he can’t afford it).
b) Since I make 4x’s what he does, I support my husband by helping him out with his child support and other financial engagements since he decided to re-enlist in the marines.
c) I support my husband by, even though I HATE IT, travelling twice a month to California to stay with him on a military post and pretend to be a good little military wife.
d) I support my husband by sending not only to HIM, but to our friends and relatives, (some already in either Iraq or Afghanistan), care packages, calling cards, photos, letters, and emails to let them know that there are people here who care about them and want them back home safely.
e) I support my husband by starting a Military Spouse’s support group at my church here in Georgia, (LOTS of guardsmen from my church were activated), AND I’m a member of the one in California too.
f) I support my husband by taking yearly visits, (along with the other members of the Presidio Military Spouses’ Support Group), on my own time to visit the troops at Walter Reed Army Hospital as a volunteer AND by keeping regular correspondence with their spouses and family while they are recuperating; by sometimes just taking their spouses out to lunch or the kids to the park to relieve the stress of watching your loved one try to battle back from a disfiguring or life threatening injury.
g) But the BEST support of my husband, and this war that I can give, is to PROTEST what I believe is a failed policy by a failed President and a FAILED Administration.
NOW, what do YOU DO to support this WAR?

You’ve said that to be condescending, but do you have any knowledge of the military pay rate: Let me give you some links and ask yourself if what they’re getting is corresponding with what their doing, putting their lives on the line. Or if it even equates to what a GS7 is getting as a Goverment Servant at the post office.

Pay rates are by month. On the regular economy, without base housing and the Base Exchange,a servicemember with 3 kids would have to go on WELFARE to be able to afford a decent housing, food, lights, and transportation in Atlanta.

Of course I noticed Debbie is paying for her husbands “Audi”. Not even a Beemer, or a Lexus, but an Audi.
Yep definitly sounds like a military wife!
And a military wife that works for a living to help support her family along with her husbands military career.
Get over it you neo-punks! You don’t actually support the Troops! Your just Hot Air NeoCon Propaganda Parrots!
You do nothing to actually “Help” the military and their families!. But you sure know how to blog and talk.
Debbie is a true patriot and her family has done their part in this war. And if her husband dies, I’m sure you neo-rats would quickly swiftboat her just like you do to all the others that have lost loved ones and then spoken out against this war.
Yes you will treat Debbie, just like you treat Pat Tillman’s family, Nancy Sheehan, and dozens of others. Now that’s truly sick! Your just a bunch of neocon HateMongers and WarMongers!
Here’s a great quote from Nancy Lessin:

Our country’s enemy, Islamic terrorists, have stated as a strategy in their fight against us, and your husband, to use the weakness of the American left wing as a weapon to their advantage.
They know, and have fought the war with the knowledge, that they can outlast the United States, that we don’t have the guts to fight the good fight, the courage to see to the end the war that we all voted for.
And so they wait. And kill more soldiers. To give you ammunition to fight against America here at home.
If you libs were behind your husband’s chosen mission, showing resolve in the face of the enemy instead of hysterical spinelessness, he would probably be home by now.
And the killing would be stopped.

Dusty - Sad indeed; 58,195 not counting the three died while I was 10 weeks in boot camp. We had a draft back then with no lottery. You must be too young to remember. You’d benefit from reading a little history. (Too bad Rumsfeld didn’t read McNamara’s “In Retrospect - The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam.”) A draft today would shut this fiasco down in a heartbeat (perhaps one of the twins’).

{{I did, however, see a lot of animosity towards your husband and his chosen profession, I did not see much respect for his decision}}
Another kettle of fish. I would suggest, though I’m not entirely sure of course, that there are quite a few military spouses who are now experiencing just a tad bit of “hostility” towards a profession that could arbitrarily take away someone’s husband, father, friend, lover, wife, etc. I did not want to marry a soldier, when we got married it was with the knowledge that when his time was up, he would not re-enlist.
{{Not to be entirely negative, I applaud your auxiliary works, it is very noble of you to take the time to nurture to the needs of others}}
THAT’s what we are ALL supposed to do. Whether we support the war or not, we’re supposed to reach out for the ones who are left behind worrying about their spouse, son, daughter, sister, brother etc. If only two people on this blog, who truly support this war, would just VOLUNTEER to support the USO at Harts/Jack Airport, that’d go a long way in supporting the soldiers.

Without ME supporting HIM he wouldn’t be able to be in the military and prepare for the enemy in the first place!! I could’ve put my foot down and said, “Heck NO!!

First of all, The Military Times is a GANNETT Newspaper - you know - the same group that publishes the liberal leaning USA Today.
Secondly, I don’t know when exactly “after midterms” was, but one of the blog links goes back to January 3rd.
General Petraeus presented the new strategy to Congress and had his nomination approved on 1/25. For this poll to have any meaning, it would be necessary to poll the military again after the Petraeus strategy was put in effect.
It is very possible that the lack of support for Bush’s Iraq policy was based on a belief that more troops were needed along with a change of rules of engagement.

It really doesn’t matter how high B-52’s can fly, idiot. SAMs fly higher.
The USA lost 31 B-52’s in Viet Nam…of those, 17 were lost in combat due to enemy fire/missiles. The rest were lost due to mechanical failure, in-flight collisions, etc.
BTW, there were a total of 768 F-4 Phantoms lost (all service branches, all types/configurations).
But I suspect that if Iran is attacked by the USA, the whole world will be their battlefield. We will see “dirty” bombs, and other unthinkable attacks from Iran as well as Muslims from other countries.
That war will likely include oil sanctions, an attempt to disrupt the USA economy by attacking the dollar, and the killing and kidnapping of US citizens all over the world. If you can dream it up, so can they.

Nice referencing “military.com” for the pay information. You may want to consider the following:
No one joins the service for money. That said, rough parity and the feeling one provides a decent standard of living is a consideration.
Try thinking in terms of “compensation package” rather than the pay charts. For example, cost the non-direct pay aspects. Take into consideration the tax-free portion of pay. Realize that additional payments - in some cases many hundreds to well over a thousand dollars, tax-free, are paid to servicemembers stationed in high-cost areas (the “welfare” reference was a bit hyperbolic). Consider the value of health insurance for a family. Price an annuity, with inflation adjustments (Vanguard, I believe, has a calculator) for a lifetime benefit (retirement after twenty years, half of base pay, no contribution made by the member). Take any “special” pay into consideration - for example, parachute “jump” pay (the last time we did a parachute assault was where - Granada?) or fixed-wing pilots - $20,000 a year, even though American is just now recalling furloughed pilots. Other bonuses - your husband will likely receive incentives when he completes the Language School - apply to many specialties.
It’s not about the money - but the financial situation isn’t quite as bleak as many assume.

WASHINGTON - Many Iraq war soldiers, veterans and their families are not getting needed psychological help because a stressed military’s mental health system is overwhelmed and understaffed, a task force of psychologists found.
More than three out of 10 soldiers met the criteria for a “mental disorder,” but far less than half of those in need sought help, the report found.
Damn, one third of our supposedly high-quality, tech-saavy, ALL-VOLUNTEER, Super-Soldiers ‘meet the criteria for a mental disorder’. Could we honestly do any worse with an all draft, no exemption armed services? Can we even dare hope that, considering the level of abuse and subsequent burn-out our troops have had to suffer under the rule of King George, we will not see them commit more atrocities which will further tarnish the coin of America more than it has already been savaged?

His troop increase is neither sufficient to actually do much (only 15%) nor is timely (Democrats called for a larger troop increase a while back, when it could have made a difference). I’m amused how you all view this 20,000 extra bodies as a silver bullet (without any actual explanation for why it should work), but I guess that’s the strength of hope.

Bush lied about WMD in Iraq, he lied about the threat, he lied about the urgency, he lied about the chemical weapons, he lied to send America into war, he lied to become the “war president”, he lied to kill, republicans need to kill, republicans need war, war gives them meaning, killing gives them meaning, as long as someone else is called. Now that we’re at war we need to support the troops, not support the truth. Oops! some died. We now have to kill more to show that those who died didn’t die for nothing. As long as someone else is called. Oh, republicans don’t like to pay for war either. They like to borrow on the childrens future. Two ways to end war. 1) Draft; 2)War Tax.

In fact, when it came time to vote for her for re-election, I left the x by her name blank. That’s why I know for a fact that, contrary to 2000 propaganda, it is very possible to purposely omit a vote for someone while voting for other candidates on the same ballot.

Been gone a bit - didn’t look back over the past days. There’s been a lot of the “lied” mantra today. Was there any discussion of Maureen Dowd’s column in which she quoted longtime Clinton associate and supporter as saying “Everybody in politics lies, but they [the Clintons] do it with such ease, it’s troubling” - or is that dismissed in relation to Senator Clinton as (ahem) - well, no one died because of her lies. Granted - but that’s a heck of a foundation for a Presidency, isn’t it?
As far as the “diversity” party - I think the Republicans may have it. Look at the candidates. On the Democratic side (with the exception of Richardson) they’re all trying to out-liberal (Iraq) each other to appease the power brokers. Hillary’s finding the problem in this - she has the darndest time saying “sorry” about Iraq (wonder why? Maybe it won’t play well in the general election?) - another troubling characteristic for a possible future President.
Meanwhile, on the Republican side, there are frontrunners who are pro-choice, pro gun control, nonevangical/conservative Christian - just what the “bedrock” powerbrokers aren’t. And one of them will probably get the nomination.
Liberal Dems will assail the Republican candidate as a flip-flopper - even though they may agree, on paper, with the position. Can’t see much of the reverse happening. It’ll likely be more issue, rather than personal, oriented. Romney can say “I took a shot at health care and was successful - in the bluest of blue states. Hillary took a shot - and her foot’s still healing.” Yes, it’ll be a whole lot of fun.

POWER: GORE MANSION USES 20X AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD; CONSUMPTION INCREASE AFTER ‘TRUTH’ Mon Feb 26 2007 17:16:14 ET
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, an independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan research organization committed to achieving a freer, more prosperous Tennessee through free market policy solutions, issued a press release late Monday:
Last night, Al Gore’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.
Gore’s mansion, [20-room, eight-bathroom] located in the posh Belle Meade area of Nashville, consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year, according to the Nashville Electric Service (NES).
In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.
Gore’s extravagant energy use does not stop at his electric bill. Natural gas bills for Gore’s mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
“As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk to walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use,” said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006.

I’ve already had a successful career, and I succeeded all on my own, without the benefit of “affirmative action”, or burning bras. I never felt hindered by my gender and never whined about how rotten it was to be a woman in the workplace. Maybe because it wasn’t?
The women in my life, like my mother and grandmothers, were independent women and did not need to be “liberated” either. They were great role models - actors, teachers, and writers and were nothing like the Hollywood propaganda version of women in shackles just waiting for Ms. Gloria to set them free. My life was nothing like the TV sitcoms and Mom did not wear an apron with a duster in hand waiting for Dad to come home.
I am indeed proud of my son. I like to think that I had something to do with the fact that he is a brilliant, talented kid who outshines you in every category.
He could even kick your butt in a debate on the Iraq War. For one thing, he spends a lot of time talking to real soldiers who have returned home from Iraq, not the whining pussies at the Daily KOS and in “academia”.

Aspergers doesn’t restrict a child from the ability to excel. On the contrary, children and adults with Aspergers often score “above-average” in intelligence. Some even qualify as “genius”. They go on to hold down lucrative jobs. They marry. Some even own their own businesses.
Their behavior disorders are their biggest obstacle, but can be altered through modification techniques. They experience “Mind-blindness”. Do some research on mind-blindness, and how it impacts a life. Theirs is a neurobiological disorder. They’re born with it.
It leads to “social awkwardness” and “inappropriate behavior”.

By RW-(the original) February 27, 2007 12:05 AM- Kerist, that reminds of the Gorebot telling us that his Mommy used to sing him to sleep with that little “look for the union label” ditty that was written when he was 22 years old.
The USA Today reporter made a mistake in reporting on Al Gore’s favority childhood lullably, “Look for the Union Label.” The tune was NOT written in 1975. The music was written sometime before 1944 by Jerome Kern.](http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a39c996825275.htm)
The song was called “Look for the Silver Lining.” The Union Label song was a parody/rip-off of that old song. The lyrics begin “Look for the silver lining, when e’er a cloud appears in the blue. Remember somewhere, the sun is shining …” Notice the similarity in the lyrics? The “Remember somewhere” words are in both songs. It is possible Gore had heard the tune or song as a child, but it was NOT a union song then, but rather a song that encouraged optimism.
Another Republican LIE bites the dust. It seems that the song was TRUELY written in 1944 by Jerome Kern and was Gore’s favorite childhood tune. The ‘union label’ lyrics then popularized the tune in 1975.
Neo-thinkers rationalize this to mean that ‘Gore Lied’. Now the question for the ages is ‘How pathetic do you have to be when this is the best smear campaign you can mount’?
It’s probably the ‘optimism’ part that turns neo-thinkers off. They want everyone herded under the wing of Imperial leaders, where they would never dare question whose pocket all those warbucks are going into and why. Optimistic people look forward to the future and ask questions along the way. Neo-thinkers really hate that stuff, they absolutely require that the RNC, Limbaugh, Coulter, or Ted Haggard tell them exactly what they need to think, and when they need to think it.

Ml, here is a little tid bit of information that could make a toon. It should put a new threshold on your ability to pen another “Pot to Kettle” cartoon generalizing our troops as bad people.
‘The Taliban has used human shields before, but never children, local residents say.’
Reports say the Taliban is amassing forces for a spring attack on the hydro electric dam built by the Ruskies in the early fifties. The US added hydro electric capacity to the dam in the 70’s and the Taliban wants to destroy that source of irrigation and electricity.
Shall we hope for success in defending this dam, or shall we hold comment until we have the opportunity to criticize the NATO commanders (Bush) if Al Qaeda wins.
I wonder what Saddam would be doing now if we had continued to forestall the inevitable by depending on UN diplomacy?

It never ceases to amaze me how hypocritical wingnuts are.
So far this morning two so-called Christians have posted using the slang word “Kerist” in an attempt to embarrass someone else. This expletive is a regional profane expression used to express the word “Christ!” in a negative manner.
Catholics and Lutherans identify this with the 2nd Commandment. Protestants (and Jews) list it as the 3rd Commandment:
“You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.”

If the United States is ever subjected to a Nuremberg-type trial for war crimes against Iraq (or Iran or whoever’s next on our hit list), the following phrase might be missing: “I was only following orders.”
Unlike the German army of 65 years ago, many American military commanders are prepared to resign rather than follow orders to attack Iran. “The British government has learned” (sorry, that phrase always cracks me up) that “there are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran. There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible.”
Patriotic Americans (true Patriots, not those mindless “don’t you dare question our president” d!psh!ts) should be welling up with pride. Unlike the Axis Powers of World War II and other past aggressors, American military commanders have consciences and values. They’re willing to think for themselves — even sacrifice their careers — instead of blindly following orders from a crazed megalomaniac. Is this a great country or what?

WASHINGTON - Strained by the demands of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, there is a significant risk that the U.S. military won’t be able to quickly and fully respond to yet another crisis, according to a new report to Congress.
The assessment, done by the nation’s top military officer, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, represents a worsening from a year ago, when that risk was rated as moderate.
The report is classified, but on Monday senior defense officials, speaking on condition on anonymity, confirmed the decline in overall military readiness. And a report that accompanied Pace’s review concluded that while the Pentagon is working to improve its warfighting abilities, it “may take several years to reduce risk to acceptable levels.”
King George still can’t seem to keep any sort of classified information without leaking it to reporters, can he? How long will it take him to secure his administration, anyway? Ground Zero for the ‘Culture of Corruption’, whadda ya expect? You can bet that no amount of bushshit is gonna plug the holes in this sinking ship.
And in the meantime, General Pace is tellin us that we’re have our butts hangin in the breeze and our armed forces may not be able to protect us. Moreover, he says that it ain’t gettin better like the Republicans lie to us, it’s gettin a lot worse.
The Republican party does not have the spine to stand up to the fascist LIARS that have infested its’ ranks. That’s ok, the Democrats have a strong enough backbone to carry the load alone.

Just a quick post before I’m off to work. I know how the liberals hate anything on a positive note, but an excerpt from Stratfor:
“The schools, like other reconstruction projects in the country, therefore, are seen as local symbols of the U.S.-backed central government in Kabul, and the Taliban and their allies consider those who send their children to these schools as tacitly supporting the government. That, however, is just one of the reasons the militants have included education-related entities among their list of targets.”
There were barely any schools under the Taliban’s rule, and what they did allow were restricted to madrassas.
“Although the Taliban feel threatened by the schools’ popularity among the locals, their attacks against teachers and schools could turn out to be a mistake. In many communities, local residents are establishing neighborhood watch-type organizations to protect the schools.”
rushncap, I think you’d fit right in at one of Zawahiri’s madrassas. I doubt if they think special needs kids are worth educating either.

[“Scooter posted a story ^^^about the Muslim Taliban using children as human sheilds yet all your outrage is directed at RW and myself because we’re making fun of baby rushncap.

Well the answer to this is:
Why yes! - We liberals wanted the Taliban gone after 9-11 (and some like me - wanted them taken out long before 9-11).
We were glad to see the Taliban attacked by USA forces. Yes the Taliban is an evil menace and their poster boy Bin Laden should be killed. Using Children is a new tactic by these horrible people, and not surprising considering the horrible atrocities that the Taliban committed before! Killing their citizens, destroying great historical artifacts, Drugs, Terrorism, the list is almost endless of their sins.
We would “all” love nothing better than to see the Taliban in “AFGHANISTAN” destroyed. Not to mention Bin Laden and Friends wiped from the face of the earth
But for some reason - our Republican leadership and corporate associates prefers to attack Iraq and neglect this obvious threat to the USA for some reason. Most likely this reason is because of the Iraq oil resources that they can exploit. Not to mention it is a great testing ground for many allied corporate weapons developers.
So instead of having our forces fighting this very real threat called the Taliban and finding Bin Laden’s gang, our troops are off playing Policemen in a civil war in the oil fields.

He is now imagining US troops being tried at Nuremberg like trials for war crimes against Iraq, comparing them to Nazis. This is a traitorous premise.
Then this great “patriot”wanders on about American commanders (but no names) who would give up their careers rather then attack Iran. But there are no plans to attack Iran.
Then for his mewling retreat in hallucination, he calls the Commander-in-chief a megalomaniac.
Are you on a terrorist payroll, Blackadder, or do you dump this propaganda on us for free?

Liberalism is a movement of conscience. Liberals speak endlessly of conscience. Yet conservative rhetors have taken to acting as if they owned the language of conscience. They even routinely assert that liberals disparage conscience. The magnitude of the falsehood here is so great that decent people have been set back on their heels.
Conservatism continually twists the language of conscience into its opposite. It has no choice: conservatism is unjust, and cannot survive except by pretending to be the opposite of what it is.

Another example of conservative twisting of the language of conscience is the argument, in the context of the attacks of 9/11 and the war in Iraq, that holding our side to things like the Geneva Convention implies an equivalence between ourselves and our enemies. This is a logical fallacy. The fallacy is something like: they kill so they are bad, but we are good so it is okay for us to kill. The argument that everything we do is okay so long as it is not as bad as the most extreme evil in the world is a rejection of nearly all of civilization. It is precisely the destruction of conscience.

Whole organizations exist to provide a pipeline of “facts” that underwrite the message of “liberal media bias”. These “facts” fall into numerous categories and exemplify a wide range of fallacies. Some are just factually untrue, e.g., claims that the New York Times has failed to cover an event that it actually covered in detail. Other claimed examples of bias are non sequiturs, e.g., quotations from liberal columns that appear on the opinion pages, or quotations from liberals in news articles that also provided balancing quotes from conservatives. Others are illogical, e.g., media that report news events that represent bad news for the president. The methods of identifying “bias” are thus highly elastic. In practice, everything in the media on political topics that diverges from conservative public relations messages is contended to be an example of “liberal bias”. The goal, clearly, is to purge the media of everything except conservatism.

What do you mean we weren’t prepared for WW2? We were prepared for it, we tried to stay out of it for as long as we could. We even considered siding with Germany and Hitler at one point if the Russians got too strong. We supplied England with support (even military support when we could).
The US tried to play both sides of the war at first even, and that is why many countries hated us and our arrogance. US corporations supplied materials to both sides. Then Pearl Harbor changed all of that!
The Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor pre-emptively stating that they expected the USA was about to attack them soon so they had to defend themselves. Taking out that many naval forces slowed us down, but to say we were not prepared for war, is definitly out of line.
If you are going to use WW2 in your arguments it may be useful to know a little bit more about the politics of WW2.

Now, somebody ought to make a movie about Al Gore. I would call it “An Uncomplaining Life.”
The movie would be about a man who did not quit, who came off the canvas after a painfully close election — he won the popular vote, after all — who accepted defeat graciously and tried to unite the nation, who returned to the consuming passion of his earlier days, the environment…. This may or may not be a stepping stone to the presidency, but Gore gives us all a lesson on how to live one’s life….
Gore would not have taken the United States to war in Iraq. He would have finished the job in Afghanistan — it was al-Qaeda and its Taliban enablers who were responsible for the attacks on us on Sept. 11, 2001, not Saddam Hussein, no matter how vile he might have been. Gore would not have dealt with the Iranians and the North Koreans in such a juvenile fashion — axis of evil, after all — and all over the world, wherever you and I went, we would not detect such anger toward America….
Jimmy Carter said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that he thought Gore ought to run and had told Gore so insistently. “He almost told me the last time I called, ‘Don’t call me anymore,’ ” Carter said. What Gore told me was something similar: “I think there are other ways to serve.”
We’ll see. After all, Gore — the son of a senator himself — was raised for the presidency. But for the moment at least, he is showing all the irritating signs of a man at peace with himself. He abandoned Washington for Nashville…. and he has set out to show that there is life after a failed candidacy, a purposeful life in which a man can do some good. His movie and his speeches are — to paraphrase what Clausewitz said about war — a continuation of politics by other means. He cannot make war but he can still make a difference…. With an Oscar in his fist and triumph on his face, Al Gore is a man you can tell your kid about. That, maybe, is even better than being president.

I’m pretty sure you could have made that statement in 1979 but whatever, by all means, let’s not bomb them until they get strong enough to attack New York.

I Just Love This Man,
No offense at your adulation of Al Gore and Jimmy Carter. And you have it right. Maybe an “Oscar in his fist”….”is even better than being president.” And how. Most anything is better than Al Gore being president.
Although not a scientist, he is pretty good at chasing melting icebergs, picturing polar bears and spotting fuming smokestacks. He was pretty good at raising funds in the White House for Clinton. He is pretty good at aiming for the Presidency, almost as good as Kerry.
Have another awards show and give Gore another Hollywood plaque or something. If you are preparing us for yet another run for the Presidency, don’t bother. Democrats have little to offer but Gore is a stale selection from leftovers. Let him rest in peace.

Hey LuckoDull — @ 11:39
That’s fear mongering at it’s best - Great Job NeoCon PR machine!
Yes - Iran has already stated that if we attack them they will retaliate with everything they have. “Ahma-Bad Gene” is currently losing support in his country, but the threat of a USA attack is keeping him up and running. Should we actually attack Iran, Ahmadinejad will then have the backing of the entire country forever and be a martyr!
I doubt we would even worry about Iran’s little sand pit if it were not for the oil resources in both Iran and Iraq, not to mention their new found love for the Atom.
Since you want to bomb Iran because of their “Nuke”s and mindless Threats - why don’t you go after North Korea too. Oh Heck lets pick a fight with Sudan too. Maybe Syria, and half a dozen other nations.
Our Troops can handle being spread thin around the world. Our economy can handle the extra cost of multiple wars, at 600+ Billion a year per battlefront. Our diplomats can keep the world thinking how great and peaceful the USA is and every one will love us. The Iranian people will throw flowers at our feet as their saviors when we attack! ahh the rose colored glasses!
Or you could think of realistic ways to negotiate without shooting first!

Read what Hillary voted yes for:
In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security. Now this much is undisputed …
Heh, the same things I’ve been saying.
Bull dy-ke Hillary would love to change that, and I agree, let’s switch Iran where it says Iraq and bomb them now.
If they were going to waste NY City you can bet your punk liberal as-s that they would have done it by now.

We went after the Taliban and we continue to do so. Many of them are hanging out in the “lawless regions” of Pakistan. If we do what I wish we’d do and destroy their al qaeda refugee villages, do you promise not to wail when women and children die?
You noticed that the Chechens are fighting alongside the Taliban. For the totally clueless here, the Chechens are the people who were responsible for the massacre at Beslan and now they appear to be teaching the Taliban to use school children as human shields.
Look who else admires the Chechens!

Bush Meets With Anti-Semite Who Celebrated The Killing Of American Soldiers President Bush reportedly met yesterday with Walid Jumblatt, a member of the Lebanese Parliament who has repeatedly called for U.S.-backed regime change in Syria.
After visiting the White House, Jumblatt addressed the neoconservative American Enterprise Institute, which wields significant influence within the administration. “Many people say there won’t be a stable Lebanon without regime change in Syria,” Jumblatt said, adding that he “urged the Bush administration to aid opposition groups fighting the rule” of Syrian President Assad.
Jumblatt’s meeting with the White House is notable not just because of his radical foreign policy views. In the past, Jumblatt has cheered the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq, referred to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as “oil-colored,” and claimed the real axis of evil is one of “oil and Jews.”
– “We are all happy when U.S. soldiers are killed [in Iraq] week in and week out. The killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq is legitimate and obligatory.” [Link]
– “The oil axis is present in most of the U.S. administration, beginning with its president, vice-president and top advisers, including (Condoleezza) Rice, who is oil-colored, while the axis of Jews is present with Paul Wolfowitz, the leading hawk who is inciting (America) to occupy and destroy Iraq.” [Link]
– “In November 2003, the United States revoked Jumblatt’s diplomatic visa for wishing out loud that Wolfowitz had been killed in a Baghdad rocket attack.” [Link]
While the White House has yet to comment on the Jumblatt’s visit, his regime change talk yesterday “drew a round of applause from the AEI audience.”

This afternoon, a group calling itself “The Tennessee Center For Policy Research” sent out a press release denouncing Vice President Gore for the size of his household electrical bills.
Let’s start right there. How did they get the utility bills? They also didn’t have the courtesy to ask Vice President Gore about them (despite their hollow claim of being non-partisan.) And why would a “think tank” possibly care about what Al Gore spends on gas?
Actually, let’s start with a more basic question. Who are these people? Well , a quick check of Alexa reveals their web site gets no traffic. Are they legitimate? Well, again, they claim to be non-partisan but only link to far-right and conservative groups so regardless of what their status is with the IRS, this is a conservative, strongly-leaning Republican organization.
We will be digging through IRS documents tonight because if you follow the money, you always find the answers. We will let you know who their donors are as soon as we can.
This group drops the pebble in the lake and now the machine really goes to work.
Front page of Drudge Report at 5:16 reports this press release from a group no one has ever heard of, who may or may not have stolen Al Gore’s utility bills. Now, the lie has legs.
In the last twenty minutes, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has updated its website TWICE - both with radio interviews. The damage is being done as we watch.
But guess what? We’re going to fight back. All of us.
Why? Well, first of all, Al Gore turning his lights on doesn’t make him a hypocrite, it makes him a human.
Second, we’ve seen this game a few too many damn times. The trick is for them to create doubt and distraction. They need to create doubt all around the country about Al Gore. But there is no doubt.
Al Gore is a hero.

OK, now of course ABC News is picking it up.
A comment at DailyKos: “Hannity got the memo as well and he and Annthrax Coulter are hammering Gore for the same thing tonight.”
Tennessee Center’s President Drew Johnson comes straight out of the right’s network, coming from Exxon-funded American Enterprise Institute and the right-wing-funded National Taxpayers Foundation.
They are part of the right’s State Policy Network. According to PFAW,
“SPN is a national network of state-based right-wing organizations in 37 states as well as prominent nationwide right-wing organizations. Through its network SPN advances the public policy ideas of the expansive right-wing political movement on the state and local level.”
As of Feb. 16, the Tennessee tax dept. considers them “not a legitimate organization” because of their misrepresenting themselves involving questions about the group’s opposition to a state crackdown on drug dealers.

Sunday, February 25, 2007 “Secondary Virginity” for ‘08 Good news, sinners! The Christian right has decreed the fallen can be born again pure as driven snow.
The new virginity is available not only to the carnally impaired but to politicians who may have parked their shoes under the wrong ideological bed.
At their summit meeting, the guardians of American morality—Dr. James Dobson, the Rev. Jerry Falwell and Grover Norquist—examined the Republican ’08 hopefuls and found them wanting.
McCain and Giuliani were dismissed out of hand as hopeless sluts, Romney as a waverer, and even Duncan Hunter, Brownback and Huckabee may have sinned in their hearts, as Jimmy Carter used to say.
It remained for Norquist, admittedly the least ecclesiastical of the brotherhood, to discover the road to redemption by citing a movement wherein young people who have lost their chastity take vows of abstinence.
“It’s called secondary virginity,“ Norquist explained, “It’s a big movement in high school and also available for politicians.”

On Feb. 16, The Politico turned over its front page to a long hit piece on liberal bloggers by Liebermanite Dan Gerstein. In the piece — titled “Liberal Bloggers Demonstrate Their Political Immaturity, Democrat Says” — Gerstein repeatedly unloaded on bloggers, calling them everything from “spoiled children” to practitioners of “high-tech tantrum tactics.” He even suggested that the Democratic Party should punish them by denying them access.

Now that you’re done shooting the messenger (a false item reported by a reliable sourse is still false, a true item reported by an unreliable source is still true) - is there any accuracy to the reports of the Gore’s electricity and gas consumption?
As I’ve said before, people should be able to spend their money how they want. He wasnt a water garden and fountains, and there are no watering restrictions, fine. He wants to ride around in Suburbans? Fine. He wants to pay for a mansion, lots of rooms and fixtures? Fine.
The difficulty comes when he lectures others about “reducing your carbon footprint” - using more resources than you need (need, not want) etc etc. To many people, that is the irritation of lefter than moderate liberalism - the “I know better than you how you should live, speak, spend” - then “they” don’t follow their own advice. Same thing with actors (American version of royality and instantly credible political analysts rolled into one) with their homes and Prius hybrid cars - with the exotic Italian gas guzzlers and SUVs in the garage.
Regarding discounting the source: Sen Charlie Schumer was on O’Reilly last night. Do we discount everything Sen Schumer said because he appeared on the Factor? Or do we take their remarks as accurate - even when O’Reilly said to Schumer “I’m more liberal than you are” and Schumer responed, yeah, well…

I’ll answer for you then…coward.
NO WMD’s were found. The sanctions, inspections, (along with Clinton’s missile strikes), etc. worked. I know it hurts to acknowledge the success of this process, but…facts are facts. Face them.
Now, you continue to show your stupidity so I feel obliged to rub your nose in it…
You keep referring to our jets being fired at, but I don’t remember any soldiers dying (let alone 3,100) during the enforcement of the no-fly zone.

CIA. Not a criminal investigation, was referred to Justice. Far as I know, CIA didn’t say if it was because of standard operating procedure, because they knew a violation had occurred and they wanted the law enforement branch brought in, or - if it was because the story was building, they weren’t sure what was going on, given where Ms Plame worked if they didn’t know if there was compromise of classified. Regardless of their reason, it was a prudent move.

Paul -
I have to differ with your comment on a few points.
First, this group is doinga deliberate political slash job on Gore, and they have a common agenda to trash his name with their collective resources.
Next - it is factual, but it is misleading facts as they campare apples to oranges. They compare Gore’s mansion and guesthouse to the average Joe’s house. If they compared Gore’s Mansion to the average usage of other Mansions, then they would have a case.
And there is no denying that Gore (the former Vice President) will have a more lavish lifestyle than the average Joe, and use more resources as he travels the world in that luxury lifestyle. But to compare him to an average Joe in anything is a semi-truthful falsehood.
As it stands they are obfuscating and slandering Gore with Psuedo-facts and in this case this Tennessee ThinkTank is nothing more than another SwiftBoating group.

Boy, the cutesy diversions (you must find the truth for yourself) just keep coming. I’ll take that as a ‘yes, the reports of the Gore’s massive resource consumption at a time they preach reduction and conservation are accurate.’ The question was more an attempt to get the conversation back on line - and to see how you’d address Gore’s actions in light of his words.

Now that was a very, very good point. Original, too. Thanks.
Saw one newspaper article on the water usage by owners of huge estates - $10k water bills. But - when you took the gallons, divided it by the lot size for a gal/sf rate - came out the same as the average homeowner. But that wouldn’t have made for a good headline.
Strikes me as the same with Hannity’s “Huffington rides private jets” remark. It’s not an issue - as the fuel consumption is negligible compared to total vehicle consumption. But, if everyone flew in private jets, well, then we’d have another issue on personal usage.
But with Gore - his difficulty is with how he’s positioned himself. Compare it with Nader - a bit of an ascetic, sure, but he takes public transport, doesn’t own a car, and pretty much dials down the lifestyle.

Oh yes, the other line is.. everything is rotten in Iraq, the troops are running wild, Taliban is running Afghanistan, the troops have no guns, armor, or safe helmets, no equipment, no training, no humvees, nothing is working, the generals want to quit, the surge is no good,and worst of all,SOMBEODY STOLE GORE’S BILLS FOR ELECTRICITY. But..ah ha..ho ho..liberals support the troops!!!!

Paul —
Gore does need to be careful though and start practicing what he preaches. By replacing a majority of his incandescent lights at the Mansion with Flouro-bulbs or White Light LED Bulbs would be a good place to start.
But the “Tennessee Center for Policy Research” should be asked “Just how Much does Dubya’s Crawford Ranch use in resources as compared to Al Gores Home” (lol). I think they would fail the litmus test on that one!

At 1:29 I asked if there was any truth to the allegation of the Gore resource consumption. Your previous post seemed to avoid that. Your response was an all caps “you must find the truth.” That’s what I call a cutesy diversion.
Why do people so often have to divert to the personal (I’ll bet…not even registered..) rather than stay on topic? I guess it’s a blog thing.
I kinda partial to Lime, myself.
RE: That’s a tough continuum, maybe not so tough as one can stake out a position anywhere along it and run with it. I still believe there comes a point where people say, you know, I hear what you’re saying, but I see your lifestyle, and it just doesn’t seem to mesh.
Rather like that preacher-adultery thing.
On a similar note, the former head of the Virginia ACLU was arrested for child porn. He was the guy who led the effort to keep filters off library internet computers. So here we have a case, not of do what I say, not what I do, but more of “this is what I say, this is what I fight for, and oops, it got me arrested.” The entertainment never ends, does it?

Paul,
I’ve been out of town and have had little time (or inclination) to post. I did read one of your posts (last week) about your belief that preemptive attacks are okay (did I get the gist of that?).
Personally I oppose the use of preemptive attacks unless there is indisputable proof to support the need for such a drastic move.
Let us suppose that Iran develops nuclear weapons, then tests them. Does that qualify as a valid reason to attack them preemptively?
Let’s follow this to its logical conclusion. If a country (administration - need I be more specific?) attacks a sovereign nation preemptively only to find that their reason for doing so lacked any real basis in fact, does that suggest that the individuals responsible should be held accountable in a court of law? Should the attacking country be required to pay reparations?
I think all of us are disgusted by convicted child molesters. Does that mean that it is okay to go out and beat them up until they are hospitalized…or dead, just because we believe they will molest someone else? Sounds kind of KKK to me.

Just a last comment -
Dusty - You can love this country, support the troops that are in harms way, yet still hate WAR!, and you can despise the politicians that rush headlong into a war rather than do their job and find diplomatic solutions around hostilities with other nations.
WAR should always be the last resort - not the first action in dealing with other countries!
It is the Job of this President to protect this country and it’s people.
Going to War endangers this country and it’s people.
With the job of President comes the responsibility to negotiate with leaders of other countries. This President was Brash and Foolish.
But I don’t lay all the blame on him as Dubya’s personal advisors and friends were think tank NeoCons that had their own dreams of empire building. And that colusion of NeoCons has put this nation in far more danger than it has ever been in before. Not only in political and combatant world affairs, but the very fabric of our nation’s Bill of Rights and Freedom itself.
We will certainly see Nuclear Terrorism in our lifetime and quite possibly the failure of the United States way of life as well.

RE
May I take a wild guess at Fitzfong, in case RW and BD are not around.
Fitgerald was/is the prosecutor in the Libby case. He has tried to prove that Valerie Plame was exposed as a covert CIA agent to the news media by Libby. BUT Fitzgerald knew before the case started that Armitage had told a reporter, not Libby. Now Libby is being tried on charges of lying.
Nifong was the prosecutor in the Duke Rape case who declared the Duke students guilty before the trial started. The students were dropped from school and teams. DNA proved that the Duke students did not rape the strip dancer as she claimed. Nifong has removed himself from the case and his legal status is under review.
Thus you have the combination of Fitzgerald and Nifong=Fitzfong, two lawyers who have not upheld the basic principles of law.

Welcome back, N-GA
I was out of town, also - family gathering, brother brought in a nice assortment of wine - I turned in your direction and gave a good toast. Then I returned to jury duty. Then it’s back into remodeling - so have a bit of time here with workmen crawling about.
The preemption thing was more in response to those who speak in absolutes (never justified, etc). The wife/Dukakis example was a bit crude and heavy-handed but got the point across.
One can say most wars begin “preemptively” - although in modern times countries go to great lengths to justify their actions - Gulf of Tonkin, Nazis staging an attack along the Polish border. I pretty much agree with your paragraph two, and I hold the standard pretty high.
It’s not just the Bush Administration - the next will also have difficulties with Iran. Mutual Assurred Destruction doesn’t deter second party aggressors or those who think dying for an ideology is something to be sought. The WMD fiasco (and I include both the Bush and Clinton Administrations in that fiasco) could have the unfortunate effect of causing paralysis of action. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the moderate clerics and the up and coming generation will put the brake on the train that Ahmadinejad says can’t stop.
The ACLU ex-pres wasn’t arrested for molestation - it was possession of child pornography. Just shows where unfettered internet access and lack of personal discipline can lead (plus some preexisting mental problems or evil intent). Say what you will, I’ll still give O’Reilly credit for his crusade. I understand he was on Oprah (again) and she’s putting her resources into the fray with this issue.

I don’t like the principle of war but sometimes it is a horrible necessity.
But will you explain something to me? When our troops are fighting a war as directed by our representatives, you can hinder, blame, misrepresent, call the military “murderers” and failure and still say “I support the troops!”??
If I did the same for you, would you call it support?
I don’t live in a dream world of supposition. I know what I see and it is NOT support on the part of liberals for our troops. It is more helpful to the enemies our troops are fighting.

The difference is that George Bush does not go around making it his life’s work to scold people for their “carbon footprints”.
It is absolutely amazing to me that you are so dense that you can’t figure that out for yourself.
Moron LHU,
Did I say anything about WMDs today? No I did not. So why are you hounding me about them - unless you are egging me on to ONCE AGAIN print the comments from all the Dems who said they were a threat, and who subsequently voted for the war they are now trying to weasel their way out of - like the “cowards” THEY are.
As for the no-fly zones, did I say that any of our pilots died? NO I did not.
Once again s-l-o-w-l-y: YOU said that the no fly zones contained Hussein. I said he violated the no-fly zones and threatened the lives of our pilots whose job it was to enforce them. Astonishingly, you don’t care.
Then I remembered why ! You’re a Lib! I only hope that you don’t have children to practice the “never mind, do whatever the hell you want and I’ll buy you a nice lollipop” discipline tactics with.
