Dead on about Crystal re: the Bush family going back to 41, and the current Bush Administration.

Crystal HAS oft sounded neoconnish (talked tough and militaristic and expansive about foreign policy, military and defense policy, national goals etc.) AT THE OUTSET OF SOMETHING, only to whine and complain and weasel and lay blame when things get dicey.

And Crystal did support McCain, not Bush, but as you say, MM, one can think that was in part because McCain was a "war hero" (to many, not all)...the reflected glory thing, or in part because he hates the Bushes, or all for the first reason or all for the second. Who knows?

He agrees with Bush when he seemingly HAS TO, based on logical inference from his statements and writings at a given moment in time, but later on, all bets are off.

Entirely untrustworthy. A "double minded man, unstable in all his ways". The Bible has some warnings to us about not trusting such a one.

That ought to be interesting...because today, the UN voted unanimously to sanction N. Korea and demanded that he not build any nukes...which he threw in their faces.

Newt was saying after they fired their missles on July 4th, that we should go in right away and bomb the crap out of that site...

I believe Biden was on the "one on one talks" side.

BUT, now they have shown they don't care what anyone says..and you have Iran playing "Risk" with 3 other countries...Israel, Lebanon, and Syria.

It will be interesting to see how these two POTUS candidates would tackle these problems now...

(Of course one ALWAYS has to take into account that they can pontificate, critisize, threaten, or whatever...but THEY aren't in charge..and it won't be " on them").

Franklin GRaham is Billy Grahams son and wants Bush" to just sit down with Kim and talk to him, sometimes when you sit face to face with someone....." DUH? You are not your father Franklin, stay out of politics...wasn't Billy Graham anti semitic in his earlier days?

I heard Franklin on FNC on Thursday or Friday talking about the emergency rooms/health clinics and other aid his group has given to NK. I have a real problem with that given the huge amount of money the Kong Ding Dong spends on the military while letting his people starve and live in brutal conditions.

The Kong Ding Dong could be supplying better health care to his people but instead lets an American religious group pick up the tab. Graham is a fool for letting himself and his resources be used in such a way.

Oh no .. it had been on early in last night's thread, so I re-posted.

Just checked .. you're right .. according to the youtube description, it was posted 4 months ago.

Mod .. please remove post #1130 .. it's not an accurate representation of reality.

Next time, I'll check .. thanks. Good lesson learned.

Greece, that's in.....Europe, right?

Asia?

Ah yes, Old Europe...I though we outlawed all those countries, along with the predecessors to Freedom Fries?

Anyway, I disagree with the esteemed Dr. Mottaki, I like Israel best when they're baking terrorists. Otherwise they're usually pretty boring, funny hats, and wailing at some wall, I have a hard time staying awake.

Speaking of time, what time is it in Israel right now?

I would like to see Plugs and Newt on together.
Plugs wouldn't know what hit him.

Shelling, eh?

That's a while back, just a few tidbits ever since, everybody over there must be sleeping.

Long day, I guess...

Kimberly Guillfoyle .. I just cannot stand to listen to her. And Blather repeat on CNN, junk on MSNBC .. settling on old old Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart b&W flick on local PBS. Where's the media ? There's a serious war ongoing.
