The world’s been warring for many years before the Great War. We just started numbering there. I mean, there’s the Crusades, the Hundred Year’s War, the ancient wars of the Romans, Huns, etc...
That’s why I have to roll my eyes when people talk about “world peace” like it’ll ever happen. There are just too many evil, stupid morons out there who are willing to kill, murder and wreak havoc without abandon. In this conflict, it’s the Islamic jihad movement.
Good point. I’ll consider it. I also agree with you on saying the Cold War was probably WWIII and we are now in WWIV. It would be nice if everyone could agree one way or the other so it can be labeled correctly.
I just hate hearing President Bush make that comment on a WWIII because that takes away from what we are doing today.
Chris Matthews? Of course it was Chris Wallace, son of Mike, on FNS. Matthews shoud be so lucky!
Excellent ! Maybe add ..
“it’s just for the chillun” .. LOL
“sitting or ex-governor”
What about Bill?
One thing that never gets mentioned about the Federal Katrina response, because it does not fit the ‘meme’ is that US Navy and Coast Guard ships were sent to the Gulf as the storm was arriving, so they would be ready to follow the storm into the Gulf to reach people and cummunities in need.
They were not sitting in Norfolk waiting for Gov Blanco to call GWB.
The cruise ships that were practically conscripted to become temporary housing are never mentioned either because the delicate souls of the flooded wards did not want to live on shipboard - where they felt their actions would be watched!
Bill Clinton was a “sitting” governor. Yes?

The Sunday Morning Talk Shows - The Review

Sunday, October 28, 2007
On MTP, Tim Russert asked Chris Dodd if our soldiers had died for anything in Iraq. Dodd hemmed and hawed, mumbling something about "making space." Russert played a clip of Dodd telling an audience that this war was "about oil." Dodd still did not say that he thought our soldiers had died for oil.On TW, John McCain said that taking public funds won't hurt him between February of next year and the conventions because there will be more active party involvement at the various levels than Bob Dole had in '96: "I think we'll have enough money to be competitive."
On FNS, First Lady Laura Bush would not say directly that being first lady does not necessarily qualify someone to be President, but she is hot conflicted by Hillary's candidacy and will vote for the Republican.
On FNS, Louisiana's Governor-elect, Bobby Jindal, pledged to get all the federal funds committed to helping New Orleans, post-Katrina. Though he is a fiscal conservative, he said, he thinks the federal government should have to give away the money when they've promised.
Turning our attention to FTN, Crazy Carl Levin criticized the President for claiming that we must prevent Iran from obtaining the knowledge required to build a nuclear weapon. He said that it was alright for them to have that knowledge; we have to prevent them from using it.
Levin and Lindsey Graham agreed that waterboarding is torture, case closed, and Mike Mukasey is not qualified to be attorney general if he doesn't toe that rhetorical line. (McCain had made a similar statement on TW.)
On LE, the UN's IAEA boss Mohamed El Baradei said that Israel should not have bombed the facility in Syria without first coming to him; the IAEA, he said, is the world's eyes and ears. He said that he has seen no proof that the Norks were assisting Syria in building a nuclear facility. (Remember, if he doesn't personally see proof of something, it either does not exist or did not occur.)
Also on LE, Babs Boxer shrieked that the President should be nicer to Iran because at the rate he's going, he is liable to tick them off. She specified that she is frightened, on behalf of the United States, of both Iranians and jihadists. (I assume this means that she lives in a constant state of terror regarding Iranian jihadists.) Trent Lott pointed out that the most heated rhetoric was coming from the Iranian leadership.
