Dont like the label? Dont be one then. Translation: Do what we want or we will call you naughty names and blatantly attempt to smear you just like we did Sen. Cleland and countless others with damaging whisper campaigns. One week after the president said he wanted resolution between the parties, the RNC publishes it's hit piece fiercely attacking Reid (the Minority Leader) on a p
Good points Daiwa, and some I'd like to answer to as soon as I get a moment... Keep bloggin!
Great post, well done.
You're right, drmiler, I don't know for certain that there is no exit strategy, but for the administration to at least say that they did would quell some criticism. The fact that they won't even get that close kind'a tells you something. Just to be clear, I'm not advocating the administration announce a date, but it would be nice to know that some decent plan exists j(and that they infor
Hey, def - good to see you back. Thanks for the warm welcome, it's good to see that you are still posting here. bitching about the Absence of an Exit Strategy is a false or strawman argument Some may think ABB, Dems, or other groups are simply using this legitimate problem as an excuse to bash Bush. Though they might be the actual problem is no red herring and
Kudos to both Dabe and Col Gene, excellent information and well done. I would like to see a counterpoint, but it's hard to defend such obviously bad policy.
I really don't agree that Bush is the worst president in history, time will see that out after his tenure is complete. That said, I don't care for the majority of his policies which can be debated as to whether they have produced more harm then good. According to the conservative website RealClearPolitics, the majority of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls.h
Absence of an Exit Strategy This is so far behind it is ridiculous. Daiwa, I know you are much more informed then this. The talk about the lack of an exit strategy was a major concern before the war even started and was a reason given not to engage ourselves in the war. Come on, buddy.
Fun post! Good point(s), there must be action to follow words, but we've seen little from politicians. Many people will point out the problems we've run in to in Iraq and smartly hold the administration to task for throwing caution to the wind and embroiling ourselves in difficulty after difficulty, but hardly anyone has had the power / clout to take on the fast current to hell we've thrown ourse
btw/ I hate abortion. but support a womans right to choose What a nuanced posit, sounds like a flip - flop!
That's PRIVATE installations. Yeah, scary, huh? Non-public areas will be admitted to the network on a "voluntary" basis. I wonder what type of incentives will be used to encourage small businesses to participate in this program...more tax breaks? And just what do *you* think is case-by case law? There is no such thing as "case-by case". As I've mentioned, each ruling sets a precedent which affects further rul
Interim Allawi (the Bush appointee before Abbas) hinted at this partial democracy during the heat of the election, guess the trial balloon went over well enough for people to buy it. Tell you what, next election we have, let's leave out a whole region of the U.S., say, the midwest, then let's pretend that we're having a real election. Seriously, what the fuck?
I like the "partial democracy" Abbas and Bush are supporting - let's keep the dissension to a minimum and pretend we really have a working democracy. What crap!
Rhetoric Award to Deference for taking the decision to the extreme!! What part of "case by case" did you not understand? You sound like an attorney! Guess what, they *lie* for a living. "Case by case" is legal b.s. for "we're going to say screw interpreting the law, we're just gonna' make whatever ruling we want - in this case and the next!" When a ruling occurs, it sets w

Now Moderateman, calm down! Allow me to address your points here... ok then hows this... so fucking what! he made a mistake a horrendous mistake..... so what? I am not justtifying anything bush did, This whole thing is about the lack of support and constant snipeing the left does It doesn't matter who is in office, when the C.I.C is making wrong calls, I'm going to call 'em like I see 'em. You're ign
Now that is the pot calling the Kettle black It's a shame there isn't much else in your verbal arsenal besides tired old cliche` already worn thin by this forum.
THEY WILL MAIN , KILL YOU TORTURE YOU JUST BECAUSE YOUR AN AMERICAN They will? Should we be like them, then? Should we set the proper level or sink to theirs? Stop trying to justify all the Bush Admin.'s mistakes - they are too numerous. And your rhetoric is too weak. Bleah!
You attempt to soften the blow of the tactics used by calling them "uncomfortable" and by removing them from the context of the situation ( by the way, 40 degree temperatures can create the onset of hypothermia, certainly uncomfortable and undoubtedly dangerous) . You also fail to mention all the tactics used that have been released via the media, cherry picking the most vanilla on the list - why? This would be unacceptable treatment for U.S. soldier
BTW, extra credit for any one that can really find the right to privacy in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. No privacy for anyone! Every bathroom a glass house so we can take a dump while watching our neighbor do the same! Whatever. .... let's keep looking for holes in the constitution that would allow the possibility of a totalitarian police state... On a more ser
What's worst about this post is those like-minded to moderateman's perspective simply would not listen to the many criticism's of the wisdom in Bush policy or entertain the possiblity of a lack of tenacity of his and his administration's words. Duelfer report? Screw that! If Bush says they are there, they're there. Only now, when they officially give up the hun
Does anyone know what time it is? Hammer time! er.... Miller Time! Time to get a watch? Stupid American time? Sorry, couldn't resist...
My dear ribs ache! So funny! (scarily true, or is that tru?)
Great post! Indications of a slippery slope?
