Now…if I’m not mistaken, but didn’t Kerry consider this particular perspective during one of the 2004 debates…and was he then not pilloried by nearly everyone in the conservstive/neocon camps?
I’m just so “confused”—not.

Another win for the State Department.
Are we at war?

Deb, you claim to be not as smart as that loud-mouth-Bush-supporting-hag-Ann Coulter, but your blog questions everything she supports. On Drudges show, Coulter supported the Bush administration’s wiretapping American citizen, fast-forwarding, is she then supporting what’s going on above? Like Rush Limbaugh, she’s a shill for the Bush and Kerry (Neo con-DLC: Skull and Bones) regime. You are a lot wiser and a lot smarter than she. Oh and check out the Dubai Port one more time, according to sources, Dubai never gave up the lease.
I NEVER CLAIMED NOT TO BE AS SMART AS HER. BUT GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE ON ONE THING: THE DUBAI PORTS DEAL/LEASE, WHICH IS, INDEED, AS YOU SAY STILL HELD BY DP WORLD. DURING A RADIO INTERVIEW I DID ON KIDO IN BOISE, IDAHO, THIS MORNING, WE DISCUSSED THAT VERY POINT.

It’s obvious that the current administration is doing this only because it worked so well for the previous administration. Remember? Clinton gave our former enemies, N. Korea nuclear technology, and now they are our bestest buddies, our true pals, friends to the end, trustworthy allies in the war against terror, taking our side against the perfidious Russians and Chinese, us and them playing kissy-face for all of the world to see. Iran will probably react the same way.
Or maybe the current administration is becoming as stuck on stupid as the previous administration.

Debbie, you have enlightened me once more, and I thank you. I used to be a strong supporter of the Bush administration. I used to defend the Bush Bunch quite often. But, the presidents actions and inactions at critical times have demonstrated to me just how clueless he and his administration really are. Either clueless or non-caring. But it really doesn’t matter which, being clueless or not caring are equally dangerous.

Ahh yes, the tolerant feminine touch. It did seem to work in Korea didn’t it? Iran should have been struck 28 days ago rather than let the Iranian mad-man entrench.

How sure are we that that it isn’t el presidente in the hostage picture? It looks like the same guy to me.
IT IS THE SAME GUY, DESPITE THE WHITE HOUSE’S AND CLUELESS CONDI’S DENIALS. THAT’S WHY I POSTED IT.

Rice who’s out of her depth is once again convinced and convinces Bush that if only the US shows a willingness to compromise, the Europeans and Russia and China will back America when Iran demonstrates its refusal to compromise. Of course Iran like North Korea happily will play for time dragging things out until their weapons are a reality and it’s too late to do anything about it.

Looks like…Jimmy Carter’s framing her..

I see other posters were supporters/friendly to President Bush’s administration as I was, and are beginning to see the light as I have. Condiloser Chickpea and Mandolin alDull are the 21st Century re-make of “Twins”. There seems to be a similarity between the last Presidential policies of the 20th Century, and the first administration of the 21st Century. Has anyone heard of “collusion”? “Two Card Monte”? Don’t forget, the U.S. also “sold” reconnaissance technology to our friends in China too. Now, we get our pictures taken everytime they fly their “improved” aircraft into civilian airports in the U.S. “Multipolarity” can only work if ONE core rod sets the standard for the “magnetism” of the other rods. If not, all the other rods will compete for independence. Islam contains the perfect shock troop and ideology to enforce the “multipolarity” of the 21st Century and beyond.
Bushbot NOT!

Let me introduce the two of you. President Mahmoud Ahmedinajad, meet Chairman Kim Jong-Il. (UN functionary walks away)
Call me Jong-Il. I hear you got some good swag from Condi.
Yes, and the Americans will eventually leave Iraq, too. I wonít have to do much of anything, just as you didnít have to with Maddie. Call me Mahmoud. BTW, Jong-Il, thanks for the missiles, and please thank your connection in China for shipping them overland so the US Navy couldnít interdict them.
Your welcome, Mahmoud, but what I want to know is when you will complete the countertrade by shipping us oil. We can use our tankers or Chinese tankers to pick up.
Use the Chinese tankers, Jong-Il, because the Americans certainly wonít mess with them. Better would be Indonesian tankers, because they control a strait that the US Navy must use. Now, let me introduce you to my friend, Hugo.
Thank you, Mahmoud. I want to meet him and perhaps do some business.
