This post in combination with some of his other posts, for example:
"They used to tell us that Saddam and bin Laden were sworn enemies. We know that Reagan aided Saddam Hussein throughout the 80's. How could Reagan have supported Saddam and Osama at the same time?"
"This is the sort of thing that is being trumpetted to get ready for the US debut of Moore's film Farenheit 911. The premise of the entire film is that the Bush family have been arm-in-arm buddies with the Saudi royal family since before WWII. This news piece is intended to demonstrate that the friendship between Bush and the Saudis is so strong that he made sure that they were taken care of when Americans had to go without air service and other conveniences. "
"Rummy will probably leave after November so Cheney should go back to Defense and the VP will not be Guliani but Zell Miller. Bush will clean up with a "born-again" former Democrat (Who's a damned sight more conservative then Guliani). Bush will be able to reclaim the "uniter not divider" role by naming Zell (the only Dem I would consider). "
Speaking of bannings, is that what happened to the longtime anti-war FR stalwart Burkeman1? He stepped so far over the line so long ago that I thought he'd be here forever. And I was looking forward to him banning HIMSELF (which he said he'd do) when the Red Sox didn't win the World Series this year.....which they won't.
Ah--well. I was duped, too. Did think that it was an interesting question. It's scary to contemplate Kerry in charge of a war.
