I’ve got a friend who’s Hutu and married a Tutsi. They can look at a photo of a Rawandan and tell which tribe. It’s stunning to me how they can tell.

AS many have said regarding Bush, it was the lesser of 2 evils, but he did what he thought to be the right thing, and he at least cherishes our military.

Oh I see...We’re getting our military involved to pass out cup cakes and invitations to Madella’s funeral extravaganza.

Thanks!

“Don’t worry the French just upped their total troops to 1500 - That should do it!”

French Foreign Legion, the business end of the French military, the ones that break things and kill people.

What difference does it make that Reid put in a 50 vote rule taking away a 60 vote rule?

The republicans don’t block these nominations anyway.

If I remember correctly, there were warning he ignored. Clinton and no one else connected dots because no one believed anyone was stupid enough to do what the terrorists did. All americans are aware now and I think it would be hard for anyone to take over a plane the way it was done then. Spilling american blood on other countries would not have stopped those planes flying into the trade center. It seems that our citizens are sent to other countries and the rules of engagement tie one of their hands behind their backs and say, go fight for nothing that has to do with your own country.

Before the House of Representatives was deemed irrelevant, We the People would get a say in the matter.

Those were the days...

“Instead *I* voted for the Two Stooges (McCain and Romney). Three stooges, if you count W.

It sucks to always have to choose between the Joker and the Penguin”

Don’t you think those days are over?

I think more conservatives wouldn’t vote for another one of the GOP liberal nominees than the number of the non voting conservatives in the Romney campaign.

There is just no way.

And in the senate - who didn’t approve Hagel bagelhead? Cruz? Anyone else?

The answer is that Rand Paul and Shelby voted for him.

Even Collins and Ayotte voted against

We supplied them with a lot of dry goods in the early 50s. Had we cut our losses with that (which Ike to his credit did), things wouldn’t have gotten out of hand.

Thanks for your post. It’s a good summary of the situation there right now.

I agree. That’s why I threw W in as an afterthought.

Sadly, though, although he did SOME stuff right, W screwed us in many ways.

Yeah, and they must’ve been pretty drunk if our military had to take them to it! You’d think they’d have sense enough not to drive in that condition. Maybe they just got their stuff and went on up to their giant hotel room to sleep it off.
