It is truly sad to see John McCain over the last seven years go from courage and conviction to pandering and peevishness. He has lost any claim on the presidency; perhaps he can be hired on as a valet to the Bush family.

I always knew that McCain was never a real threat to get the Republican nomination in 08, which is good, and now the pinko media is driving the nail in that coffin.

Thank you very much.

Meanwhile, McCain’s still hasn’t got the guts to bring his entourage and walk down University Avenue at 1 in the morning.

He won’t be singing any praises about that stroll.

This mindset is not new. Its animus is to downplay one’s own responsibility and pretend that Iraq is someone else’s problem. Take Sens. Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel, two pivotal votes in the Senate’s 50-48 Iraq withdrawal amendment. They won’t be advertising it today, but in 2002, in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, they wrote in The Washington Post that “the decade after” the Iraq invasion will be “the most challenging phase.” Our presence in Iraq “will be necessary for several years.” We will need to spend “up to $20 billion a year,” they wrote, not including “the cost of the war itself, or the effort to rebuild Iraq.” Last week, they both voted for withdrawal. We cannot think of a worse problem than Iraq for lawmakers’ games of chicken or fingers in the wind.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

The 20th century was the bloodiest, most savage epoch in recorded human history, yet little of the carnage was a direct result of religious pursuits; quite the opposite. Most of the regimes responsible for the deaths of untold millions were those that discarded Christianity in favor of the State. The extent of suffering in the service of Communism, Socialism and Nazism was unprecedented; as was that of those who opposed them. But this does not mean we must accede to their irrational fears and hatred for those whose charity toward them springs from the heart of Jesus Christ. As history has painfully demonstrated, less Christianity leads to more violence and hate, while true adherence to the Gospel can only bring the peace and love of which liberals so fondly speak.

I was at a party this weekend where I was approached by a twenty-something former college Republican. Having known him a few years, I knew what was coming next.

“So, Mrs. Godzilla, how are you going to handle President McCain next year?’ he said with an impish grin. The only response I had for him was a deep, genuine belly laugh. I gathered my composure and smiled and said, “It’s not something I have to worry about” then I walked away. He felt compelled to add, “Well, I heard a rumor that Al Gore will is going to tear your party in two by running on the Green Party ticket.” That was meant to wound me deeply and I knew it. Needless to say it didn’t.

I looked around at the group of young men gathered there. All vociferous supporters of Mr. Bush, his administration and his war. All starting careers and families. All in beautiful new homes. All driving power cars or great big trucks. Not a one supported the President, the administration or the Iraq campaign enough to have served. The Chickenhawk Class of ’06.

I have pondered this at length. I am forced to ask – Where have all the Republicans gone? You know the type. Conservative fiscal policies. Limited government. Everybody’s aunts and uncles. Where have they gone? All we are left with are Machiavellian Neo-Conservatives, comfortable that the end is justified by the means, no matter how amoral those means are. Completely contrary to the American way.

John McCain used to be that good kind of Republican. The kind of guy even a Progressive like me could have voted for. The years have not been kind to Mr. McCain. Failed presidential bids, attacks from his own party and what now seems like a split from reality makes him unelectable. It’s a pity.

A once proud war hero has become a sad sack sycophant.

“A lot of people have gone to see President Assad … and yet we haven’t seen action. He hasn’t responded,” Bush told reporters soon after Pelosi arrived in Damascus Tuesday. “Sending delegations doesn’t work. It’s simply been counterproductive.”

These are the people that liberals negotiate with, behind America’s back:

{{{Former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has been killed in an apparent assassination in west Beirut. The killing comes at a time of rising tension between Syria, Lebanon’s political master, and members of the opposition, a BBC correspondent says.}}}

Nullifying the will of the Lebanese people with a bomb. And Pelosi gives legitamicy to this murderer.

And they are real friendly towards their neighbors:

{{{Syrian paper accuses Israel of having spread bird flu to kill Arabs. The state-run Syrian daily al-Thawra lately hinted that Israel developed the bird flu virus to harm the genes of its Arab neighbors.}}}

This is perfect, the union formed by the Jew hating suicide crew and the KKK democrat racist pigs of America.

EVEN WSB THIS MORNING MENTIONED REPUBS WENT TO SYRIA TOO>>>

FROM TPM

Did White House Privately Back House GOPers’ Trip To Syria While Bashing Pelosi?

April 03, 2007 — 07:39 PM EST // View Comments (45) // Post a Comment Let’s see if all the big news outlets who lavished so much coverage on the White House’s attack on Nancy Pelosi for her trip to Syria have any time for this.

It’s well known by now that even as the White House was slamming Pelosi for her Syria trip GOP House members were making their own trip to Syria. This has drawn lots of attention already.

But check this out: It now looks like the White House might have actually been helping these House Republicans arrange their trip to Syria at the same time they were criticizing Pelosi for going there! Who’s the source of this allegation? The chief of staff to one of the GOP Congressmen who went to Syria, that’s who!

Take a look at this story from Pennsylvania’s Lancaster Intelligencer Journal:

While U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s upcoming visit to Syria has caused the White Houe to bristle, a little-publicized rendezvous took place Sunday between Syria’s president and Lancaster County’s congressman. And though Bush administration officials have been criticizing Pelosi, it’s not clear what role the White House and the U.S. Department of State played when U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts and two other Republican congressmen met with Syrian President Bassar Assad.

Pitts is a Chester County Republican who represents Lancaster County.

Gabe Neville, Pitts’ chief of staff, said Monday the conference between Assad and the three Republicans was intended to be “low profile.”

“It was done in cooperation with the administration,” he said.

Maybe I’m missing something, but the chief of staff to this Republican Congressman who went to Syria stated unequivocally that this trip was “done in cooperation with the administration.” That would be the very same administration that has spent days and days attacking Pelosi for doing the same thing — attacks that the big news orgs have eagerly spent a great deal of time and resources amplifying.

It’s unclear what this GOP chief of staff’s description of “cooperation” between these members of Congress and the administration means in practic

Candide - Can you tell me what version of the bible you got your 8:10 post from. Please let me refresh your memory. It is true that Christ was crucified by the Romans. However, he was no threat to Roman rule. He was crucified because the Romans wanted to appease the Jewish leadership at the time. Kind of like what Pelosi is doing in Syria right now.

Pilate questioned, in Matthew 27:23, why they wanted him crucified. In the next verse he washed his hands of the entire matter putting the responsibility for Christ’s death on the crowd.

Christ was not a disappointed prophet. He knew exactly what was happening to him and why.

“[T]he Democrats in Congress continue to pursue their bills, and now they have left Washington for spring recess without finishing the work…. They need to come off their vacation [and] get a bill to my desk.”

What Bush neglected to mention:

“We acted quicker than the Republican Congress has ever acted on a supplemental request on Iraq,” said Drew Hammill, spokesperson for Speaker Pelosi, arguing that the Democratic leadership is continuing to work on the supplemental through the Easter recess.

Hammill also said it was ironic that Bush criticized the congressional Easter break only days before taking an Easter vacation of his own. President Bush plans to spend Thursday through Sunday at his ranch for an extended Easter weekend.

This will be Bush’s 63rd trip to his ranch since taking office. He has spent 405 days, either entirely or partially, at his ranch in Crawford.

Unrelated Items Part of Iraq Bills Since War Began

By Jonathan Weisman Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, April 4, 2007; Page A03

To President Bush, they are “pork-barrel projects completely unrelated to the war,” items in the House and Senate war-spending bills such as peanut storage facilities and aid to spinach farmers that insult the seriousness of the conflict and exist only to buy votes.

But such spending has been part of Iraq funding bills since the war began, sometimes inserted by the president himself, sometimes added by lawmakers with bipartisan aplomb. A few of the items may have weighed on the votes for spending bills that have now topped half a trillion dollars, but, in almost all cases over the past four years, special-interest funding provisions have been the fruits of congressional opportunism by well-placed senators or House members grabbing what they could for their constituents on the one bill that had to be passed quickly.

Goood Morning Viet Iraq’

It is so funny to see Dubya’ whine and moan because the new Congress won’t rubber stamp all of his war plans like the old congress did. That would be because they are doing their JOB in forcing debate.

Lets see — The Dub’ster (his old fraternity name I think’) claims that Democrats were evil for adding pork to the funding. Never mind that he has rubber-stamped through lots and lots of outrageously expensive “Republican Pork” on previous and similar funding bills for the last 6 years.

According to Citizens Against Government Waste, there has been more pork-barrel spending during the Bush years than at any time in American history. Both the amount of money and the number of pork-barrel projects have risen every year, from $18.5 billion and 6,333 projects in 2001 to $27.3 billion and an amazing 13,999 projects in 2005.

Lets See - Dubby’ (as probably coined when he was a baby with his rubber ducky’) throws a fit when Pelosi goes to Syria for talks, meanwhile ignoring his own buddys in Syria already. Yes he wants to keep his monopoly control on all of the war negotiations. He must have his select buddys to keep the fires burning in the mideast. No Peace For You!

Oh and lets not forget our ubiquitous and rightious war-mongering Andy who has suddenly found Jesus on this blog today. Never mind that Andy ignores said saviour’s teachings while finding him.

Heres a few quick quotes Andy that you may consider next time your blogging.

“Scatter the peoples who delight in war”

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Oh but you hate everyone - liberals, islamofascist, pinkos, etc - etc - ad-infinitim’

The merchants at the Shorja market know that “Bull-sh!tter” McCain is a liar:

The delegation arrived at the market, which is called Shorja, on Sunday with more than 100 soldiers in armored Humvees — the equivalent of an entire company — and attack helicopters circled overhead, a senior American military official in Baghdad said. The soldiers redirected traffic from the area and restricted access to the Americans, witnesses said, and sharpshooters were posted on the roofs. The congressmen wore bulletproof vests throughout their hourlong visit.

Three questions I can think of right away:

(1) How many of McCain’s escorts were from the Iraqi brigades? (2) How many Iraqis have snipers posted overhead while they go shopping everyday? (3) Is McCain now dressing up and trying to make bad photo-ops like W? Next time we can expect him to be wearing a cowboy suit while he “clears brush” on his ranch!

TALKING OUTA BOTH SIDES OF THEIR MOUTHS

FROM THINK PROGRESS

Right Wing Smears Pelosi As ‘Subservient’ For Wearing Scarf - What About Laura Bush?

Yesterday, right-wing Internet gossip Matt Drudge posted a photo of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) wearing a headscarf while visiting the tomb of John the Baptist inside the Umayyad mosque in Damascus.

As Mahablog points out, the right-wing is now seething:

HotAir: “The campaign commercial practically writes itself. Ah well. A woman must know her place when entering a mosque. … It pains the left too, I’m sure, to see the most powerful woman in America having to yield, however slightly, to a misogynistic culture’s expectations, but they can’t vent their anger at the people responsible so they’ll vent it at Charles or me or whomever instead.”

Instapundit: FEMINIST IN AMERICA, subservient in Syria.

The New Editor: “This picture disgusts me. What message is Nancy Pelosi trying to send? Are women equal to men, or not? Why is modesty foisted only upon women?”

Little Green Footballs: “Pelosi in a Hijab. The modern Democratic leadership. How … quaint.”

Apparently they never saw Laura Bush when she visited al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem:

Republicans did go to Syria against the wishes of our government. That was mentioned last night by the White House Spokeswoman. She reiterated that our government does not want nondesignated officials going to Syria as our officials are making their own efforts against Syria’s aid to our enemies in Iraq.

Fortunately, I have not heard any comments from these Republican Senators undermining our government. Would you care to bet on what Pelosi will say against America and our President? Or has she already presented her prepared complaints before she left?

PAY ATTENTION TO THE LAST LINE APPARENTLY A GOP CHIEF OF STAFF MAKES YOU LOOK NOT SO BRIGHT

Take a look at this story from Pennsylvania’s Lancaster Intelligencer Journal:

While U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s upcoming visit to Syria has caused the White Houe to bristle, a little-publicized rendezvous took place Sunday between Syria’s president and Lancaster County’s congressman. And though Bush administration officials have been criticizing Pelosi, it’s not clear what role the White House and the U.S. Department of State played when U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts and two other Republican congressmen met with Syrian President Bassar Assad.

Pitts is a Chester County Republican who represents Lancaster County.

Gabe Neville, Pitts’ chief of staff, said Monday the conference between Assad and the three Republicans was intended to be “low profile.”

“It was done in cooperation with the administration,” he said.

LETS REPEAT FOR EMPHASIS

Any dignitary that goes to Iraq is going to have a lot of protection. McCain did too. If he felt safe, he said so. The man is honest.

John McCain has supported and suffered for this country. The false assumptions made about him are the usual duplicity of Democrats.

Being a Bible-thumping, liberal-hating, vote for Bush or burn in hell Republican, I’d thought I’d take the time to explain once and for all why Jesus is, was and always has been a Republican and an American patriot. You see, Jesus taught us that acquiring money, profit, ‘stuff’, if you will, is the highest calling God gives us. This is why he loves capitalism and why he truly is an American. He also hates taxes, unless they are subsidies for rich corporations or for use in building people-killing devices, like nukes, so long as they are Christian nikes of course. Taxes to help poor people eat are simply intolerable. Further, he taught that killing people so that one can acquire ‘stuff’ more cheaply is an acceptable way of achieving the first goal. Its all right there if you just pay attention. Afterall, Jesus was well on his way to starting a multi-national corporation and raising an army to defeat the Romans. Twelve was just the beginning. This is why the Romans killed him. So remember on Easter that God loves money, war and that GOP means “God’s Own Party.”

Goood Morning Viet Iraq’ —-

John McCain took that trip to Iraq to try and dispel the controversy about what he had said and had then been called out on his statement about Iraq being safe. he had to improve his image after that comment.

He used this trip to Iraq as a political photo-op to try and improve his image by walking the (safer) markets.

The real problem here is -

He used a large contingent of troops and military resources for his political grand-standing. Troops that could be better put to use of doing their job that day. How much did the taxpayers PAY for Johns little photo-op?

Not only did John fail to prove his point of the improved safer Iraq, but shortly afterwards 6 U.S. Military personnel lost their lives in the same area.

John - We admired you when you spoke out against torture, and then defied the Bush Administration to debate real issues. But seriously John - was your photo-op trip worth 6 American lives? Where was their protection and military contingent for those six soldiers like the one you had?

Thats the way I see it today — And what I will remember you for in the future.

Pentagon Is Asked for Report on Iraqi Readiness By Bryan Bender The Boston Globe Tuesday 03 April 2007 Assessments critique battle performance. Washington - Despite repeated requests from a House committee chairman and government investigators, the Pentagon has failed to hand over its official assessments of the readiness of US-trained Iraqi security units to take over key functions from the US military. Representative Ike Skelton of Missouri, the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, has demanded that the Pentagon provide the assessments, which critique Iraqi performance on the battlefield, according to a previously unreleased letter. The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, also has requested the reports as part of a separate inquiry. But the Defense Department has balked on both requests so far, without giving any official explanation.

LuckoDull @11:48- Dullard: Where in the Bible does it say God’s Chosen People should be gassed and burned in the ovens, I missed that part. Maybe you and Hitler live by a different book, you reckon?

Nope, same book (the Bible), different interpretations. Hitler and his cronies thought that Aryans were God’s chosen people, just as Jews think that THEY are God’s chosen people, and just as current American fundamentalists think that THEY have a monoploy on moral wisdom, and just as Islamfascists think that THEY have a lock on piety.

Religious zealots have never had a monopoly on the Bible, wisdom, or goodness, they just THINK that they do, and the unbalanced mind will read into any written work exactly what they want it to say. You are a perfect example of that principle in action.

Don’t write off Irradiated food so quickly. It does need to be carefully screened but has been used for decades in europe for food preservation. No ill effects have been found so far.

You are going to use one method or another to perserve food, mainly we use chemicals or salts to perserve food right now in the US. Irradiation as a term just means exposure to energy, Usually X-Ray or gamma radiation. There is no residual radioactivity to the food exposed to the radiation. There may be some changes to the nutritional value of the food as irradiation may denature some vitamins.

The food you eat is going to be perserved in some way unless you have a farm in the backyard. After looking into it, Irradiation seems like a better alternative than pesticides and salts currently used for food preservation. Read into it, make an informed choice for yourself.

Walt @ 12:59,

There are plenty of things traceable to biblical times- the flat earth theory; human sacrifice; Zeus, et al; the world being created in seven days theory, etc. Here’s a clue for you: Almost everything that primitive peoples believed, especially religion, turned out to be pure fiction. They came up with what we now recognize as nonsensical stories to explain natural phenomenon because they did not yet have science to explain them. While science won’t explain everything today, it certainly helps to show us the inconsistencies, discrepancies, and falsehoods inherent in mythology, which in turn shows us that “true” religions are patently untrue. You’re smarter than that. Blind faith (pure stupidity) and dogmatism are for republicans.

Real big study from the WHO

The way I look at it is kind of like immunization and other issues. THere are pros and cons to each side, there is no perfect solution. With immunization there is risk of complications due to a reaction with the vaccine itself or with the compounds used to preserve it. And you have to weigh the risk of immunizing against the risk of not being immunized.

Same thing with food. Irradiation is just exposure to energy. When you cook your food you expose it to heat, which is infrared radiation. Same thing when you use the microwave. These methods change and denature the chemical and nutritional value of the food you eat. I have a friend who is a raw food vegan, and she feels that is the only way to eat and get the purity of the nutritional content of the food. Personally I think it is kind of nasty to eat completely unpurified foods. And then, hypocritically, I will feast on sushi.

All I am saying is be informed and make your choices. Irradiation has a nasty connotation due to people associating it with nuclear radiation fallout.

Just my 2 cents

One Voice,

You’re right. There are a lot of things that have been proven untrue that were once thought true, such as a flat earth. But, the incidents in the bible have not been proven untrue. Just because during that time there were a lot of untruths, don’t assume that everything that was written is not correct. We know the world is round because it was proven to be so. Greek mythology was never assumed to be true, but by a small amount of people and even they began to realize that they were simply reading recycled stories. It has not been proven untrue, however, that Moses lead the Isrealites out of egypt, or that Jesus came as a sacrifice to the world. Those are instances in which they have not been shown to be untrue.

There are many metaphors used to explain biblical phenomena. The fact that such examples are used by the authors does not erase the legitimacy of bible occurences. For example, there is a scripture in Revelation that describes giant locusts coming in from the east to attack believers. This incident is referring to a future, as of yet, battle on the earth. We know this to represent incoming helicopters.

One thing that is true about One Voice’s comment is that the writers where primitive,however they were writing things based on their understanding of what they think they saw in their vision, not knowing what the actual manifestation would be.

1) When Pelosi submitted to the Islamic Fascists and put on her burqa, did she do it of her own free will or was she forced to, like the 500,000,000 Muslim woman who’s fight for freedom was set back hundreds of years by Pelosi’s submission.

2) Does Pelosi find the very sight of a woman to be insulting to the terrorists and other assorted Islamic trash?

3) Is Pelosi comfortable with the notion that women are inferior to men and should remain silent and out of sight?

4) Does NOW and the democrat party hold the same views as Pelosi, that women are inferior?

Okay, so it’s true that some primitive people actually wrote what are now the gospels, which were then hand picked by various popes and added to the current bible. That doesn’t mean they’re true. If anything it’s more evidence that they are fictitious manipulations of corrupt and incompetent men (just like the Iraq War rationale).

From Wiki:

“Estimates for the dates when the canonical Gospel accounts were written vary significantly; and the evidence for any of the dates is scanty.

Because the earliest surviving complete copies of the Gospels date to the 4th century and because only fragments and quotations exist before that, scholars use higher criticism to propose likely ranges of dates for the original gospel autographs. Conservative scholars tend to date earlier than others, while liberal scholars usually date later.

The following are mostly the date ranges given by the late Raymond E. Brown, in his book An Introduction to the New Testament, as representing the general scholarly consensus in 1996 (for a fuller discussion of dating, please see the articles for each Gospel):

Mark: c. 68–73 Matthew: c. 70–100 as the majority view; some conservative scholars argue for a pre-70 date, particularly those that do not accept Mark as the first gospel written. Luke: c. 80–100, with most arguing for somewhere around 85 John: c. 90–110. Brown does not give a consensus view for John, but these are dates as propounded by C K Barrett, among others.”

Since truth is such a rare commodity anywhere in this world, we are often left (no pun intended) to draw our own conclusions.

I hope you accept it as fact that we (the US) have satellites in geo-sychronous orbit over the middle east. Also, the capture of the British seaman/marines occurred in broad daylight.

If this event had occurred outside Iranian waters, the satellite photos would have been released at a time designed to most discredit the Iranian government. To date…no photos. Only the release of an Iranian official taken captive in Iraq and held for what, 2 months?

I take no satisfaction that allied military personnel are taken captive by Iranian forces. At the same time, I would expect our forces to make certain that such a situation does not readily present itself. You can be sure of one thing, the British government is chewing some field grade butt for having to eat so much crow over such a stupid and avoidable screw-up.

But it is really up to you to draw your own conclusions.

Thanks for the input. You can see why I’ve become suspicious of the “namejacking” or “nitjacking” - usually he responds and stays somewhat more consistent in his writings. That said, I do enjoy the cooking/wine discussions (although we may have to expand - I quite enjoy Belgian beer).

With all the things going on I’m regularly amazed at the “default” discussions that recycle. I’ve a family member who occasionally watches the “View” - and given the idiocity from Rosie they have one less viewer. Evidently, she’s one who thinks the US government (CIA and Secret Service) planted explosives in the Twin Towers and arranged for the hijackers to fly the planes, murdering thousands of their fellow citizens. I saw a clip of her speculating how the British government staged the latest incident, just as Pres Johnson did with the Gulf of Tonkin. I’d think even the far, uberLeft would be embarrassed - yet they remain quiet or seem to embrace her rants. Great way to align your party and convince the populace they can do a better job of protecting the country than the Republicans.

Now another example of Democrats picking an issue to further alienate voters - this whole Armed Services “don’t refer to the global war on terror. Use the geographic names or the operational names.”

War on Terror? As I’ve said, “terror” is a tactic (War against Blitzkreig) - but early on the Bush Administration was loathe to define the enemy - militant Islam - so this moniker stuck. Now the Democrats could have focused attention, used it as a means to highlight their contention that Iraq is not a part of this (debatable, but their point - see Krauthammer’s latest column) or to portray their party as the one to refocus America’s efforts, and they’ve mucked it up. Doesn’t give one much confidence in their wide-ranging thinking, does it?

They called him a liar and a villain, and screamed, “What about your swimming pools?” in regards to recent allegations that the monthly electricity bill of Gore’s estate rivalled a year’s bill for the average American home. This led Gore to joke, “I don’t even know if you guys are left- or right-wing”.}}}

rw,

You get drowsy while reading for several reasons: 1)Your reading comprehension skills are obviously poor and it’s quite a labor for you to go through the cognitive process of reading more than two sentences. 2) Considering you’re on the verge of being elderly, your encoding ability has decreased for approximately 30 years, so it is more difficult for you to gather information into your long term storage. 3) Also, while recollection stays the same throughout time, your recall ability has declined for 30 years, making it hard for you to put your thoughts together.

Unfortunately, with your declining cognitive ability you will probably never again regain the capacity to have the necessary epiphany and realize you were wrong all these years.

If you can process this, answer the question: Who is the conservative who will “win” (snicker) the White House in 08?

Paul,

The Dems are masters at rewriting history and using Orwellian techniques to obscure reality - they learned well from their Marxist masters. In addition to “War on Terror” the phrase “The Long War” is now forbidden.

As for the British sailors, I thought that GPS naval navigation devices were accurate to within 30 feet.

I don’t understand how they could not have known where they were. Even I have managed to chart a course in the dense fog and hit my mark perfectly while under sail- using a chart and a compass. Surely the Brits know where they are with GPS.

Paul,

I had no problem carrying alcohol in my checked luggage from Copenhagen to Atlanta. The TSA web site tends to focus on duty free alcohol purchases, but a brief browse failed to find any restrictions on checked alcohol. The last time I spoke with an airline employee, they indicated that highly flammable alcoholic beverages such as Bacardi 151 are not permitted.

As far as Bush, Congress and the Iraq War…I’ve opposed our intervention from before day one. I wish that the news reports from that period could be replayed one after the other. The administration “sold” this war to a Congress (and the People) that were more than willing to follow a President who was “saying the things everyone wamted to hear”.

I knew it was all BS as I watched Powell present our case to the United Nations. I won’t attempt to suggest why the administration wanted to attack Iraq…pick a reason, any reason. But it wasn’t terrorism.

So Congress and GWB will dance around one another, each trying to get the upper hand by twisting and spinning whatever the other says or does (Pelosi in Syria, for example).

My bottom line…the US and its citizens are worse off because of this administration…politically, socially, economically. And it will take years to recover. And there are plenty of apologists to make excuses.

RE,

Other than judgeships it makes perfect sense to do them all through recess appointments. If the Democrats are going to have a show trial over political donations for positions that are going to be terminated at the end of Bush’s term anyway, why bother with them?

Advice and consent should mean that if you’re going to deny a position it should be for some reason other than the guy donated to your opponent.

The only people who are not hypocrites are those without standards.

So far as religious leaders go, ad hominem arguements against them are often made to undercut the religious leaders own fallacy of appeal to authority.

How would the pope, or pat robertson, or the dahli lama or anyone else have any better sence of morality than anyone else.

{{{Why doesn’t the New York Times mention the fact that Pelosi is tooling around with her fascist friends in a burka? Our beloved Speaker of the House. You know, Feminist-in-Chief. Just days after the Iranian thugocracy forced the female British soldier to cover her head and appear on TV attacking her own nation, Nancy decided to go to Syria and, instead of showing that She Is Woman and stick up for the female British soldier, she folded like a weak daisy in the rain.}}}

Because she is a Coward who does not have the courage to stick up for women’s right or for the enslaved women of Islam.

She went on her little trip, both physically and mentally, to surrender the United States and instead got punked.

I bet it reminded her of being in the House of Reps.

Sad and sick, sick, sick.

Steve,

I believe that the Brits rules of engagement wouldn’t let them fire at the Iranians, or they were told to hold their fire.

That is not the soldiers fault but they could have made an effort to look dour instead of so inexplicably joyous.

There is not denying that Ahmadinjead won the PR War. It doesn’t help that nearly 1/3 of this Country are eager to believe him and that the vast majority of Brits opposed any military response.

Of course the fact that we had a huge naval presence in the area didn’t hurt!

Same way with my car’s GPS. Or phone, for that matter. No more “Long War?” I wonder what the Islamists think of that.

N-GA

On a flight a few months back I was told by two American Airlines reps no alcohol in checked luggage. I hope it was “advice” given by a line worker and not official policy. Then again, that was the flight I turned up on the “watch” list. More fun and games.

Even without the Iraq war, Iran could likely have developed as it has. Look on the bright side - we probably won’t have “boots on the ground’ in any more Arab countries in our lifetime. Air Force/Navy - well, that’s another discussion.

And I seem to remember numerous, numerous statements during the Clinton Administration regarding the danger posed by Iraq re: WMDs and nukes. I do remember thinking “if it’s such a threat, why the inaction?” (Even former SecDef Cohen (under Clinton, he is a Republican) recently said he and Pres Clinton were convinced Hussein had WMDs). But my real point is this: the Bush administration takes over from the Clinton administration and says “you know all that stuff you’ve heard from our intelligence services and the Clinton Administration about WMDs and such? We don’t believe it. We’re going to treat it as hyperbole and not base our policies on such exaggerations.”

The response (from many Republicans, as well as, Democrats) would have been….?

I’m not saying the data wasn’t selectively used. I’m just positing what would have happened it the other extreme had taken place and looking at it as a process, not as separate administrations, is all.

Laura Bush at the dome of the rock mosque

1) When Bush submitted to the Islamic Fascists and put on her burqa, did she do it of her own free will or was she forced to, like the 500,000,000 Muslim woman who’s fight for freedom was set back hundreds of years by Bush’s submission.

2) Does Bush find the very sight of a woman to be insulting to the terrorists and other assorted Islamic trash?

3) Is Bush comfortable with the notion that women are inferior to men and should remain silent and out of sight?

4) Does NOW and the Republican party hold the same views as Bush, that women are inferior?

Bush does not care about America. He cares about Karl Rove. He cares bout the Whack-Job Christians. He is out of touch with us. [Ask, Robert Novak] He has worked to divide America. He is our president. He has forsaken a golden opportunity to be thepresident of all of us. He is a sad,intellectually and morally weak man. He is an awkward psychological study. He is isolated. I pray we get through to next year without war.

How much trust do you have in these people RW?

I am not sure how the constitution works, but does this line:

The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments. negate this line:

Bush is a dismal autocratic little fascist. [Ask Paul O’Neil]. Bruce Bartlett says Bush thinks he is the posessor of “Received Intelligence”. “If I think a thought, it must be the right thought to think”. He has betrayed America. The republicans have lost the independents, moderates, and conservatives. Do you think your meanness will help you? Why don’t you come up with an idea to help our country? All you do is whine “Our way or the highway”. Pathetic.

After the last two days of watching you display complete and utter stupidity I never thought you could top it on day three, but you did.

How the hell do those two paragraphs have to negate each other?

What part of “when the Senate is in recess” don’t you understand? I would have thought the term “recess appointment” might have been a clue.

Here’s some advice for tomorrow. Extol us with the details of the comic stylings of Janeane Garofalo since it seems to be all you know anything about and we won’t know enough about the skank to dispute you.
