…if we’d gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn’t have been anybody else with us. There would have been a U.S. occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq. Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein’s government, then what are you going to put in its place? That’s a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off … It’s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.

The other thing was casualties. Everyone was impressed with the fact we were able to do our job with as few casualties as we had. But for the 146 Americans killed in action, and for their families — (the Gulf War) wasn’t a cheap war. And the question for the president, in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad, took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth?

Our judgment was, not very many, and I think we got it right.

What do you think the response to the 1994 Cheney interview has been from them?

Zero. Nada. Nilch. Nothing.

I mean, what can they say? Apparently the VP had some sort of epiphany after you-know-who was selected in 2000.

And then every single thing he said before, he no longer believed?!!! So he decided to completely ignore his own advice and invade Iraq, ending up in exactly the quagmire he’d already predicted. Brilliant.

REPORT: 68 Percent Of Foreign Policy Experts Favor Redeployment From Iraq

By Sweet Lorraine

August 21, 2007 9:11 AM | Link to this

Cheney’s interview statements about why Bush Senior refused to allow his army to chase the Repudlickan Guard into Baghdad and depose Saddam was pre-911.

911, like money, changes everything.

911 woke up America to the fact that there has been an ongoing jihad war (redundancy intended) against the USA and Israel for decades.

Wrongly, people thought Iraq was the wrong war against the wrong enemy at the wrong time in the wrong place by the wrong people for the wrong cause, but after 911, it’s clear that we’ve been wronged.

So Al Qaeda has applications? Too bad we can’t just find their filing cabinet. Wow, that would make things a lot easier.

Here’s my take on the Al Qaeda job application:

If you answered “yes” to question 3 you may skip questions 4-50 of the application, and simply sign in the appropriate section at the end of the application (on a separate sheet of paper, you will need to provide contact information for your next of kin).

Thank you for applying with Al Qaeda! Allah is great!

I’ve changed my mind about lots of things in the past 13 years, but I didn’t think the first Iraq war was a good idea, and I certainly did not think it was a good idea 4 1/2 years ago - and now.

A few nights ago, for example, we witnessed the death of one American soldier and the critical wounding of two others when a lethal armor-piercing explosive was detonated between an Iraqi Army checkpoint and a police one. Local Iraqis readily testified to American investigators that Iraqi police and Army officers escorted the triggermen and helped plant the bomb. These civilians highlighted their own predicament: had they informed the Americans of the bomb before the incident, the Iraqi Army, the police or the local Shiite militia would have killed their families

The really sad part about all of this Padilla debate is that we even know about it. If things were run the wingnut way, he simply would have disappeared and been “liquidated.” American citizens who are accused of being terrorists should be identified as such by the President, declared an enemy combatant, snatched off the street and beaten for entertaiment and/or info and summarily executed without benefit of trial.

The whole problem with the Padilla case is that the system “worked” just when we were trying to show that the American legal system, like the Geneva Convention, was outdated and unworkable in a post-9/11 world. Now there is little hope that the President will have this important power. And as long as people have the Right to a public trial before a jury of his peers, the terrorists win.

Mr. Cheney’s stupidity, along with the President’s is.

Their complete arrogance, shameless hypocrisy, willfully blind intransigence and utter incompetence in this matter, and numerous others for that matter, are the news of the day, though apparently Dick had some small semblance of Clinton-like intellect 13 years ago.

It is becoming clear that this administration with no real allies is NEVER going to be able to find and kill OBL. It will take a non neo-con to do it and to effectively pursue the fight against our enemies.

Duh,

I agree with you that the left, the democrats, the independents who don’t support Bush, and the RINO’s who have turned their back on Bush (about 70% of the pop.) do not mind seeing thousands of Americans killed. They could care less. They are indifferent. They keep doing the same things without any hope for success while soldiers die and all the while insist on staying the course because they do not care about dead American troops.

This is why I have insisted that we open up camps and systematically murder more than half of the US population. I call it Final Solution II. How can you share a country with people who are no better than our enemies, Duh? If you are willing to stand up and say things about your fellow citizens that essentially demonstrate that they are unworthy to live how can you not support killing them all? What is the differnce between a liberal and Bin Laden? As you have pointed out many times there isn’t any. However, I have repeatedly tried to get you to support what is an obvious plan to rid our country of Al Qeada types and you are too hypocritical to join. Why is that?

But back to the point, the left doesn’t care about thousands of dead Americans and that is true. What is also true is that they don’t have the balls to argue that there is a need for another 9/11.

I went back and looked at the tapes of Fox News when they were “covering” the Stu Barofsky? editorial stating that there was a need for another 9/11 and here is what was said:

John Gibson: I agree that it will take thousands of dead Americans to wake us up.

Brian Kilmeade (about the column): I think he has a point.

John Gibson on radio: America needs another 9/11.

This is an obvious endorsement for another 9/11 attack. The left doesn’t “mind” dead Americans, but only the Right has a “need” to see dead Americans.

Given that I am a winger and I only watch Fox and I think as I am told, I am again calling for a terrorsist attack on America until some winger friend out there can tell me why Fox was wrong to endorse this editorial and not fire thise who specifically endorsed the idea on the air.

To me, Nunn is very much a mixed bag. I believe he would have a broad cross section of appeal as he is considered a moderate Democrat.

I liked some of his voting record in regards to the environment, government reform and on some civil rights issues. IF he ran, I would look at him very closely.

And I believe that a semi-hawkish Democrat could do infinitely better against our enemies than you-know-who.

But when the haters on the far-right read the following they will swear he is nothing but a garden-variety commie!

He is a self-professed New Democrat and an adherent of the “Third Way” instead of left-right debate. Read on:

America and the world have changed dramatically in the closing decades of the 20th century. The industrial order of the 20th century is rapidly yielding to the networked “New Economy” of the 21st century. Our political and governing systems, however, have lagged behind the rest of society in adapting to these seismic shifts. They remain stuck in the left-right debates and the top-down bureaucracies of the industrial past.

The core principles and ideas of this “Third Way” movement [began with] Bill Clinton’s Presidential campaign in 1992, Tony Blair’s Labour Party in Britain in 1997, and Gerhard Shroeder’s Social Democrats in Germany in 1998.

The Third Way philosophy seeks to adapt enduring progressive values to the new challenges of the information age. It rests on three cornerstones: the idea that government should promote equal opportunity for all while granting special privilege for none;

an ethic of mutual responsibility that equally rejects the politics of entitlement and the politics of social abandonment;

and, a new approach to governing that empowers citizens to act for themselves.

The Third Way approach to economic opportunity and security stresses technological innovation, competitive enterprise, and education rather than top-down redistribution or laissez faire. On questions of values, it embraces “tolerant traditionalism,” honoring traditional moral and family values while resisting attempts to impose them on others. It favors an enabling rather than a bureaucratic government, expanding choices for citizens, using market means to achieve public ends and encouraging civic and community institutions to play a larger role in public life. The Third Way works to build inclusive, multiethnic societies based on common allegiance to democra

Moynihan, died five or so years ago. I guess you would start it with Al Gore and Jimmy Carter and then work on down, for you can only go down on that list.

Hail to the chief!! He can do absolutely nothing right:

Rove is leaving because there is nothing more for him to do; Bush is letting him go because he no longer has any use for him. His departure effectively marks the end of the Bush presidency - from hereon in Bush’s tenure is about keeping the troops in Iraq and as many of his administration out of handcuffs as possible. Last week Fox News asked the neocon commentator Charles Krauthammer how much time Bush had to promote his agenda. “None,” said Krauthammer. “It’s over. There is no agenda.”

A Bush aide once ridiculed a New York Times reporter for belonging to “the reality-based community”, which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality”. “That’s not the way the world really works any more,” he said. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality - judiciously, as you will - we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Strange, I mention no real allies in our “war” in Iraq and someone pops off about Prime Minister Brown. Huh?

BTW, many of our “allies” are kind of neo-con like. They pay lots and lots of lip service to the effort, but none of them are actually doing anything on the ground, much less standing beside one of our guys and watching his back in a fire fight.

Long before the British decided to cut their losses, we were on our own. Yes, the faithful can technically spin it to say we had a “coalition”, but that is just more GOP claptrap to make themselves feel better.

No one in the world, in their right minds, is going to send their kids to that hopeless loser of a situation when Bush and Cheney can just get keep getting ours killed instead.

Tony Blair was Prime Minister for TEN years. Yeah, the British really rushed him out, didn’t they?

Then Blair’s own Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, took his place. They both get along with Bush and the British are our best allies.

Also, the French elected a new leader who immediately started making friendly overtures to the USA and George Bush.

There you libs go setting an unattainably high bar for what can be defined as alliance, agreement and friendship. Of course, our allies either aren’t going into Iraq or are leaving. They will never be smart enough to realize what a great idea it is to be there. Only Bush, his loyal followers and the Iraqi politicians who depend on the security we provide for their very lives see what a wonderful idea it is to be in Iraq. We can’t help that there are 5.2 billion stupid people on the planet and that only 30% of Americans “get it.” Its not our responsibility to make everyone as brillaint as 2003 Cheney. As we know, most people are still dumb like 1994 Cheney. Nor can we say that only going along with us into Iraq defines an ally. At this point we should just be happy that there are people who are still willing to be in the same room with Bush. That in and of itself reflects common ground and agreement on the big issues. At least its the best we’re gonna get.

Tenn. Nuclear Fuel Problems Kept Secret

By AmVet

August 21, 2007 1:31 PM | Link to this

I think there is little doubt that the mood in this country is changing very quickly now. And thankfully for the better.

The President is setting new “records” for the longest period of abysmal approval ratings since record keeping began. And I think he is more than capable of screwing up even more and getting to the point where the historically unthinkable event of having four out of every five Americans saying he is not worthy of their support could happen.

So for us non neo-cons there is again some hope, as we know that not only is the ongoing disaster called the Bush administration short-lived, but that due to it’s constant and complete incompetence, the very future of neo-conservatism itself is almost assuredly finished.

I’m not sure it was worth it, but there’s nothing any of us can really do about it now.

And though we must endure 17 more months of this worst Presidency ever, and though the debacle in Iraq rages on, I sense a strong feeling, much like that of the noose closing around Nixon, that we will, as a nation, get through this and can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

And this gladdens and inspires the vast majority of us Americans, except for the Bush/Cheney faithful, who are angrier, more pig headed and more dissolute than ever.

It is going to be a hellishly long year and a half for them I suspect.

Don’t you see that there simply is no difference? Party loyalty to the GOP IS loyalty to the country and those who are loyal to the other party are, by definition, not loyal to the country. There simply is no need to distinguish these issues. Democrats are traitors, hate America, are indifferent to the deaths of Americans, could care less if the troops are killed, love Osama Bin Laden, etc…. Essentially they stand for everything that is Anti-American. All you have to do is read what we write. It is very clear that we do not think that you deserve to be Americans. We do not think you deserve to be heard. We do not think that you add any value to the debate. You are simply scumbags that are going to get the rest of us killed. You are nothing to us. And if we ever get the chance you are all going to get what you deserve. We were ever so close to dismantling the system so that we could retain permanant control and power, but the system is difficult to crack, what with that outmoded Constitution and all. But as Fox News’ John Gibson says “it’ll take thousands of dead Americans to wake us up.” Once that glorious catastrophic event happens, we will be there to feast of your fear and use it to subjucate the country to our will. We tried it once and we will try it again.

Dusty says: “You mean our joint effort with Pakistan to rid more terrorists from the mountains? I guess that you, like Obama, think we should go and A-bomb part of Pakistan and start a world war. That’s liberal stategy for ya’..”

Now for some Right Wing strategy courtesy of Philip Atkinson of The Family Security Foundation, Inc.:

The inadequacy of Democracy, rule by the majority, is undeniable – for it demands adopting ideas because they are popular, rather than because they are wise. This means that any man chosen to act as an agent of the people is placed in an invidious position: if he commits folly because it is popular, then he will be held responsible for the inevitable result. If he refuses to commit folly, then he will be detested by most citizens because he is frustrating their demands.

When faced with the possible threat that the Iraqis might be amassing terrible weapons that could be used to slay millions of citizens of Western Civilization, President Bush took the only action prudence demanded and the electorate allowed: he conquered Iraq with an army.

This dangerous and expensive act did destroy the Iraqi regime, but left an American army without any clear purpose in a hostile country and subject to attack. If the Army merely returns to its home, then the threat it ended would simply return.

The wisest course would have been for President Bush to use his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead. Then there would be little risk or expense and no American army would be left exposed. But if he did this, his cowardly electorate would have instantly ended his term of office, if not his freedom or his life.

The simple truth that modern weapons now mean a nation must practice genocide or commit suicide.

Dusters — Blair left because he became intensely unpopular in that country. The reason for his unpopularity had almost everything to do with his support for Bush and the Iraq invasion. Gordon Brown has no interest, as far as I can tell, to support Shrub’s Iraq policies. He may not leave immediately like the Spanish did, but he certainly is not going to do anything to further England’s involvement in this clusterf@ck. He is lucky, Iraq is not viewed as British responsibility, so he can withdraw without too much hand-wringing.

And Sarkozy’s election had nothing to do with Bush, and everything to do with economy. Believe it or not, not every election on this planet has to do with us. I know, I know, how dare they? But it’s true. Sarkozy may be willing to be more friendly with the U.S., but not in the area of Iraq. He needs economic cooperation, he sure as hell isn’t going to commit his soldiers to die in the desert.

Bosch, I think one of the numerous reasons that this administration has been such a mess is that the level of competence going in was so in question.

I can never recall another election where I thought, uh oh, this guy is, relatively speaking, a dunderhead.

Yeah, Ronnie was an actor, but at least he had some smarts. And he had other characteristics that in some cases made up, at least partially, for his “boobish” qualities.

But with this President I sensed none of that. His well-documented track record was extremely suspect at a number of stops along the way before he even got to the White House.

And not that it is completely about intelligence, but compared to his predecessors - Rhodes scholars, military academy graduates, etc. - it was clear that this guy spent too much of his youth hitting the bottle and the pipe, rather than the books, and was, to me, not of the mental caliber of the men who he followed.

But apparently to the Bush faithful, finding Jesus more than makes up for all of that.

Huh, am I the one who is encouraging Al Qaeda to kill our troops and innocent people, grandstanding every outrage in bold print for them, and if they can hold on long enough we will flee from Iraq and give them the total victory that they seek, or is that you doing it?

Not even knowing you MentalMidget, I guarantee that I do more to “feed the hungry persons” in Atlanta than you do, unless you’re Mother Teresa, which I seriously doubt.

You make the most asinine untrue as-sumptions about people and then freak out over them, making wild claims and accusations that aren’t even close to being true, babbling the whole time about it.

When it is really you that is the problem.

The bush-head -“The fundamental question is, will the government respond to the demands of the people,” the president said. “And if the government doesn’t … respond to the demands of the people, they will replace the government. That’s up to the Iraqis to make that decision, not American politicians.”

I’m glad Vick has to face the consequences of his felony choices, but I hope he uses this as an opportunity to apologize, speak out against dogfighting and condemn those involved. He has an opportunity to turn this into something good. We’ll see if he stands up like a leader.

Cindy,

I hear where you are coming from with Vick, but I would not want to hear an apology from him. He ran a dog fighting kennel for 6 years. This is not a one time thing to apologize for, some reckless action or spur of the moment poor decision. Any apology from Vick would be fake, he only regrets being caught and losing his career.

Let him serve his time, apologies are overrated.

George W. Bush and a secret service agent are taking a stroll when they come upon a little girl carrying a basket with a blanket over it. Curious, Bush asks the girl, “What’s in the basket?”

She replies, “New baby kittens,” and she opens the basket to show him.

“How nice,” says Bush. “What kind are they?”

The little girl says, “Republicans.”

Bush smiles, pats the little girl on the head and continues on.

Three weeks later, Bush is taking another stroll, this time with Karl Rove. They see the little girl again with the same basket. Bush says, “Watch this, Karl? It’s really cute.” They approach the little girl.

Bush greets her and asks how the kittens are doing, and she says, “Fine.” Then, smirking, he nudges Rove with his elbow and asks the little girl, “And can you tell us what kind of kittens they are?”

She replies, “Democrats.”

Aghast, Bush says, “But three weeks ago you said they were Republicans!”

“I know,” she says. “But now their eyes are open.”

I got one! I got one!:

A new Gallup Poll finds Congress’ approval rating the lowest it has been since Gallup first tracked public opinion of Congress with this measure in 1974. Just 18% of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, while 76% disapprove, according to the August 13-16, 2007, Gallup Poll.

It’s nothing you will hear a peep of from PMSNBC but it is pretty funny, ain’t it?

Imagine, just 6 months in power and you gutless wonders have set an all time historical low, geez.

And how about this?:

{{{{‘The Iraqis Will Decide’ Bush: People of Iraq will choose their leaders}}}}

I thought Iraq was a flaming hopeless house of horrors, how can they be picking leaders?

And why does France want to become involved with this horrible quagmire?:

{{{{A ministry statement said Mr. Kouchner was in Baghdad “to express a French message of solidarity with the Iraqi people and to listen to the representatives of all communities. “This is one more example,” Mr. Johndroe said, “along with the new U.N. mandate, the neighbors conference process and recent announcements by Saudi Arabia to open an embassy and forgive Saddam-era debt, of a growing international desire to help Iraq become a stable and secure country.”}}}}

Oh my goodness, I do believe that Bosch and rushncap are BOTH confused college students. Their recollections of what was actually said in a post seem beyond their conprehension.

Bosch tells a story supportive of Padilla and then says LATER that is was a joke and not what he meant and on and on.

rushncap thinks he is the prime minister of Europe and wants to correct all posts, just like he corrects freshman test papers.

I KNOW that Brown took Blair’s place when a vote was called. They had worked together many years. Brown is making every effort to get along with Bush. Brown is a quiet man and has never run his mouth about Iraq.

I never said that Sarkozy’s election had anything to do with Bush. I said that he came here and was very cordial with Bush. He is also starting to change some policies in France. Merkel is relatively unimportant.

Now, you two may think you are the greatest brains in the country. Some may think otherwise.

Obviously, neither of you have learned that the most intelligent people do not try to impress people with their greatness. Perhaps you two should try it sometimes.

AmVet,getalife, In The News, Bosch,
I think you all need to reconsider how it is that you look at the more ‘conservative’ bloggers here so you can better understand them and why they like Shrub so much. He ‘found’ Jesus. He is being guided by God therefore he is not capable of making mistakes and if you do not follow him you not only are against the President you are also against God. Why it is that they put down Jimmy Carter all the time instead of Shrub is beyond me because if you’re looking at who the better ‘Christian’ is then Jimmy wins hands down. You can disagree with some of the things he says but his actions for helping the poor and downtrodden are leagues above whatever Shrub has done in his life or probably will do in his life after his presidency ends. You are dealing with people who firmly believe that we MUST mix politics and religion. The two must go hand-in-hand. This country is beginning to look like the one country the ‘conservatives’ hate so much - France. All you need to do is look back 230 years ago or so and you’d find very similar things going on. The nobles (i.e. our rich) getting more while the populace gets less. Wars are started to help the nobles and merchants but the populace fights them and then the economy fails which leads to the Revolution. I hope we don’t go down that same path.

The first World Trade Center bombing

On February 26, {{{1993,}}} a 1,200-pound bomb in a van exploded in the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. This was the most destructive terrorist attack carried out on U.S. soil up to that time, killing six people, injuring more than a thousand, and causing half a billion dollars in damage. If the van had been parked a few feet closer to one of the pillars, it could have collapsed an entire tower of the Trade Center, killing tens of thousands.

Comes around in 2001 when thousands were killed.

Anyone read Hummer’s emotive dirge for Vick’s career on the front page (no less) of the AJC today? Mr. Hummer, if you going to reserve your best writing and make a mythical hero out of a bum, sir, then maybe you should quit journalism and sell doggie chew toys.

The very idea. Move on. Dont waste any more ink on Vick. He’s not worth it.

Besides, your assessment although well written, gets an F for content. Vick’s style of play didn’t revolutionize the position of quarterback, nor could it have. Blank didn’t know what to do with a passing halfback and he made him a running quarterback which is to say that he wasted him.

There’s no such thing as a running quarterback. All quarterbacks are passers. Period. It’s why they’re quarterbacks. The game evolved the way it did because of the logistics of that many men running around a confined space.

Now, if you had a good passing quarterback AND a passing halfback, then your offense would be invincible, if you also had the requisite front line, which is more important than a good quarterback.

Football is still only won in the trenches, sir.
