Please do not post anything into the Activism sidebar that does involve direct on-the-ground activism. Thanks.
I commend them for their attempts, and for that they deserve the following award:
the BENEDICT ARNOLD AWARD for FOREIGN POLICY STUDIES
should be arrested when they return to our soil.
1.) Planning a huge party. 2.) setting Pelosi's Agenda and 3rd, now this, a precursory foreign policy.
When you are this cocky, tell me how many times have you sen this in your life and the person falls flat on their @$$?
Just like New bragging about the Shutdown and how they will win it. You don't get this cocky if you are true victor, something smells about this, the pride comes before the fall...
Someone with pull needs to get the NRA to run the Obama gun truth ads in West Virginia. ASAP! Spread the word.
“Pwns”
I’ve seen that a three times the past couple weeks. What is it? Looks like an abreviation for a chess piece.
Pwns
It means to own or take possession of.
The whole miserable lot of them are measuring drapes. I pray to God that their hubris crushes them next month.
By whom? Who is going to arrest them? Years from now, when the books are written...we will see how GW Bush truly was the worst President in US history. Not so much for what he did..but for what he didn't do.
“should be arrested when they return to our soil.”
I just noticed this article was written Feb of this year, during the primaries. :)
“GW Bush truly was the worst President in US history”
There’s much to criticize about GWB, but:
a) If Al Gore rather than GWB had been in the WH on 9/11, there would be no US military presence in the Middle East;
b) The execution could have been far better, but in the short term, the war in Iraq eradicated a real menace whose acquisition of nuclear weapons would have been at least as dangerous as Ahmadinejad’s.
c) Without GWB’s stubbornness, the “surge” never would have even been tried, much less succeeded.
d) As with Truman, it may take decades, but history ultimately will judge GWB’s choice to start and win a war in Iraq as the turning point that culminated in a far more stable Middle East.
e) Not doing anything (looking the other way) might well be a very sensible strategy as the Israelis preemptively eliminate the Iran nuclear threat sometime prior to Jan. 20, 2009.
On several occasions different socialists have purported that same position, yet by no means do I find it justified. There are a number of issues upon which I disagree with his past policy and of all parties in the government, I would agree this Presidency has failed to make the American people understand the presence of US forces in Iraq and beyond over the past 5 years. To these accusations I might find basis to accuse Bush, but IMHO, he is far from the worst President in US history.
IMHO, a better charge might be leveled against FDR, JFK, LBJ, or Grover Cleveland, not to mention Hamilton or Buchanan in regards to American history.
The bigger they are......
Pride goeth.....
Be of good cheer.
That is an incomprehensively stupid statement. Jimmy Carter. James Buchanan. Warren Harding. Herbert Hoover. All worse. Bush has done stupid things, grant you, and definitely deserves a spot in the bottom 25%. But worse? I expect more from a Freeper of 10 years standing.
I am hopeful that the media (surprisingly) will squelch a repeat of Vietnam/Cambodia and post-Gulf War I. There should be more cameras around if/when the massacres occur that would have the effect of forcing military involvement.
Unfortunately, the media is not going to do nothing. The daughter of Zbigniew Brzezinski Obie’s foreing policy counselor, MIKA Brzezinski, has a prominent position in MSNBC... Go figure!
G W Bush has been our worst President since, well, er, ... since Bill Clinton.

And I regret to inform everyone reading this, but the election of Obama will give us a President who will make us long for the good old days of GWB.
