Why does he ignore the truth and the root cause of the violence? Will he do anything and everything to deflect blame from himself and put it on Al Quaeda? Why is everything black and white with this guy? I'm in no way condoning Al Quaeda here so save it you spamming bushbots with your canned responses. Seriously, what do you all think about this perceived ignorance?

It would be hilarious if it wasn't for the fact that he's nominally got a say in what goes on...

Arabs must be like the borg, and Al quaeda are the overseers of the hive mind, or something.

Funny! :D It seems that he must tie AQ into everything he does in order to feel there will be any support for his measures. The answer to every question is Al Quada or 9/11 and most of the bots follow this logic right off the cliff. Thank God people are waking up and asking questions. Maybe one day he'll have a new answer.

Bubble Boy is responsible?

clearly one of the better movies he's made. Donnie Darko was just creepy but interesting. Jarhead was a stereotypical movie, the good girl was hideous, brokeback mountain was kind of boring and didn't live up to the hype for me. Jake Gyllenhall is responsible for the trouble in Iraq... Let's sent him to Gitmo for some light torture until he gives up Osama.

What's worrying is that this makes more sense than most reasons to send people to Gitmo.

Can you imagine how stinky it'd be in one those bubbles?

Anyway...back to the OP (before we go off on a tangent, as usual):
"There's one thing I'm not going to do, I'm not going to pull our troops off the battlefield before the mission is complete," he said
excuse me, but isn't he the one that said:

Naw...must have been my imagination.

Yeah, AQ had been a convenient scapegoat. However, now the only people buying that tripe are the hardcore flag wavers and bible thumpers.

Silly. It was accomplished back then, not complete! :p

my favorite are the people who say, "he wasn't talking about the ar he was talking about the mission for that particular ship..." Revisionist history will not save Bush here, there, everywhere. Or, "he didn't have it put up, it was teh soldiers" when this has been proven false. They support our troops, until it's time to give the prez a free pass and then it's "damn those stupid soldiers for putting up that banner." This is the hypocrisy of the bushtopia.

Okay, I don't know whether we all think alike on NSG (well, duh, of course not, but still...) or if this train of thought is simply normal.

My first thought upon reading the article:

And then I remembered that GWB phrased it differently:

Great! You're already doing my thinking for me? :eek::p:D

Donnie was a good movie but dont forget October sky ... he was good in that one

yeah, I rather like him in that movie as well. However, Bush is still an inept fool whom only 30% now approve of. Silent majority my ass. The silent majority spoke when they handed his party a smackdown. My Republican party, the party of Lincoln and Goldwater ceases to exist right now. Poor me.

Man, you and I are on the same wavelength, I was just about to post the same thing.

"Uh, there is no civil war in Iraq. It's... it's Al Quieda, yeah, Al Quieda. Them darn Al Quiedians are trying to stop democracy in Iraq. Wooooo, terrorism."

Good! So it isn't only me... That's comforting!

love your country name. Smelly bubbles aside, how does our "free" press allow him to get away with this bullshit over and over. Next he'll be balming Saddam...Oh wait he already did that. Or maybe he'll be blaming the new PM, time for regime change again!!!!!!! What will it take for him to completely change his tune and try to see that his actions might be the root cause of CIVIL WAR?

THERE IS NO 'U' IN AL-QAEDA!

Seriously, say it in your head. Is there anything in the sound to even suggest that there is a voiced labio-velar approximant ANYWHERE in the word?

It's a crying shame that a bunch of 'elites' within the Republican party have taken it over with the collusion of people who pay lip-service to Republican values while really caring more about blindly supporting a name like it's a friggen sports team. Those 'political-sports' people have no interest in values, nor any values of their own (which is why they are happy to support a party that doesnt currently stand for any of that party's traditional values, or for any values). They simply picked a political team and will support it regardless of what it stands for, or indeed whether it stands for anything at all. They seem to think this makes them 'political warriors' or some such nonsense, and that their 'political astuteness' is proved when the team whose flag they wave wins elections while in the midst of loosing its way.
As a result the true party faithful are left without representation. The flag waving cheerleaders do not have representation either, since the 'team' is not obliged to do anything that represents them, but merely to fly the team colours. If anyone should be pissed at Bush and the party elite who made him the team mascot, it's true Republicans.

Comforting that you're all thinking the same as moi?
Honestly, that's a comfort to you?




Do you know how discomforting it is to know that?

The Republican party died on 9/11/01. They used to be a party of people who spoke their minds as individuals and argued for a consensus view aomngst themselves. Their contrat with America was one of the greatest plans in American politics. Now all they do is follow like lemmings of the cliff. Bush-Republicans are really radicals disguised as Republicans. I have taken on a slightly more libertarian stance since this has hapened. It just seems as though my party doesn't represent me anymore and that makes me angry. We've been taken over by a bunch of dividers masqerading as uniters.

Sorry, but the Republican party collapsed back in 1968, when they dropped the southern strategy on the country, and then died in 1980 when they sold their electoral souls to the religious right. They've been a rotting zombie ever since then, alive enough to do damage but little else.

What are you guys talking about? I am a neoconservative (although I find the term offensive because I have always been in a warhawk on Middle Eastern affairs and I have always been conservative. This is a wonderful (although expensive) war.

So why aren't you fighting in it? I'm sure there are any number of soldiers over there right now who would gladly let you take their place.

no no no, to support the war means you like the idea but would rather let others die to achieve your goals. Haven't you figured this one out yet?

Doonesbury has certainly been playing havoc with it this week.

I would love to trade places with a soldier over there that does not feel that the mission is worthy. I tried to join the military to go and fight the day that hostilities broke out but the recruiter said I would not be able to serve due to health reasons.
