Subject: Bush still doesn't get it
|
After listening to the Bush/Blair press conference today it is apparent
that George Bush will never figure it out. More of the same failed
policies, just called by different names.
"A New Way Forward."
Sounds a lot better than, "OK, I fucked up!'
I can see a cartoon where Bush leads us on a march, but comes to a
point on a huge cliff where one more step means disaster.
"We can't go back," he says. "We just need a new way forward."
Might make a good cartoon, but nobody's laughing.
Somebody impeach this idiot.

There were some successes... the last one may have been the elections
and that's been a while.
Lately there's been more setback that progress.

I hope you're not implying Iraq is a safer place to be. If so, why don't you
sign up for a great vacation, courtesy of the US Army?
Here are three ways of looking at the numbers that you cite above without
thinking.
A) We CAN CONTROL the numbers of Americans that die in Iraq. The number can
be brought arbitrarily close to zero.
B) 3000*100,000/(3*150,000) = 666 Americans per 100,000 of the American
population in Iraq. That's MUCH MORE than 5.6/100,000.
C) Most of the Americans in Iraq are HEAVILY ARMED.

Impeachment isn't about embarrassments nor womanizing.

I particularly liked the part where he said, he's disappointed "because
success has been so slow in coming." Hey jackass, there is no success,
fast, slow, or any other way. Some call it head in the sand. We know he
has it tucked some other place, just as dark and maybe a little stinkier.
Oh, and his safeguard against impeachment is Dick Cheney. Do we want dumb

It's the American people who will never figure it out. Bush has been in
power for 2 terms as president - he's doing something right (in terms of
being in power for 8 years - or his administration is.)

Jeff, I'm afraid you don't get it. Let me spell it out for you.
Your government, America even, has been taken over
by a bunch of fascist thugs whose sole interest is in the
oil wealth of the Middle East. They used a false flag
event and control of the media to confuse the American
people and have set your country back by over a century
in it's credibility with the outside world. You are rapidly
becoming a pariah amongst nations.
Hitler tried to do exactly the same thing over 70 years ago
using the Reichstag fire to come to power and launching
preemptive wars in his march east for oil.
This episode has been an utter disaster for America, and
particularly the ordinary people of America, and the sooner
you wake up to the awful reality of the dire situation that
you are in then the better it will be for all of us.
I voiced these exact sentiments on this newsgroup in 2002
before the Iraq war and a simple google will confirm this if
you are so inclined.
Yours in disbelief (at the gullibility of Americans),
Alan.

Oh Lord, you must be kidding. Iran wont attack us directly but they
will provide a nuke to someone who will. Why do you think that W
addressed that in a very non-Reaganistic way. He was way too subtle.
As far as Israel, they may very well be our ace in the hole. They WILL
NOT sit back (like it appears so many Americans are willing to do) and
allow Iran to develop. They will attack Iran and guess where that
leaves us? The mid-east is a powder keg with a lit fuse.

If someone wanted a nuke that bad; why didn't they buy them on the black
market when USSR broke up. Aren't there hundreds of missing ones? I have
read that nuclear residue is like a fingerprint - if a nuke goes off you
can tell exactly where the fissible material came from. I think Iran would
be concerned that if it points to her that USA would level her with dozens
of nukes. She wants those nukes for a bargaining chip - not to start WW
III. Same with North Korea - she never nuked California or Japan like the
paranoics said she would.

It's hard for me to take anything Bushtard says seriously. His cocaine and
alcohol abuse, this thing about talking to Jesus - the guy is a whack job.
I refuse to let Bushtard define my views. Come on now - admit that the guy
is a clown.

I don't think anyone will stop Iran from having nukes. She either gets them
or doesn't; and nobody but she will decide if it's worth it to have them.
I also think with the increase of muzzies in the USA; Jews are going to be
less and less important of a minority so that USA won't make a move on the
behalf of Jews such as myself.

I wish Israel would level Iran; but she won't.

Every single one of you is looking at the past. You better learn to
look forward to the real problem.......Iran with nukes. You better be
willing to use massive military force, or our very survival is in

That's what they said about Reagan and as time goes by his legacy
grows larger. Bush will grow in stature as the years go by.
Hopefully, Bush will deal with Iran before he leaves office which will
make his administration even more successful than it already is.

That title gets bestowed on those who overcome great adversity with a
lasting solution. (A president who is good enough to avoid adversity
gets ignored). So what lasting solution has Bush created for his
problems? (I am already reading how the right is blaming the left
for the future failure of the mid-east policy).
But failure is failure, no matter what the cause. Greatness
overcomes adversity, even if that adversity is named Hillary.

I can't see any result in the Middle East worse than Saddam still
being in power, so success is already assured. However, the left is
certainly giving the terrorists hope that the US will withdraw from
Iraq. The recommendation of the Iraq Commission will also give
comfort to the enemy. Luckily, Bush will ignore most of it. That's
called leadership in the face of defeatism.

Bored? I am. Just not even interested in getting this group inflamed
with a topic that will generate a thousand posts--as I have done in the
past--just to prove I can do it. Every few days I would just check in
to my topic and fan the flames, ha. It would be more interesting if
some other minds were here-- people other than the 90 IQ RSG regulars
like BK and about 10 others-- who apparently get up in the morning turn
on their computer, bring up the Usenet and sit there ALL DAY LONG--
posting in several dozen threads only a few about golf these days.
Frankly, who cares what such empty heads think!
They are way past the 'get a life' syndrome.

Incidentally, wrong Mr English expert. Inane is an adjective that can
certainly modify the noun "person".

When I hear the term "very senior govt. official," I think of, say,
Secretary of the Treasury or National Security Adviser. NRC inspector,
which is probably about a GS-13 position, doesn't rise quite to that
level in my way of thinking. But if Larry says its "very senior," who
am I to argue?

Inmates in you typical supermax prison have been tried, convicted and

with anything.

From JURIST's Paper Chase
US District Judge Marcia Cooke has dismissed one of the charges brought
against terror suspect Jose Padilla and his two co-defendants, ruling that
the charge is "multiplicitous" and violates the Double Jeopardy Clause.
US District Judge Marcia Cooke said that the indictment against Padilla is
"light on facts" linking Padilla and his co-defendants to specific terrorist
acts and ordered the government to provide the defense team with the names
of co-conspirators not included in the indictment, descriptions of the
intended victims of alleged violent acts, and specifics about false
statements allegedly made by Padilla's co-defendant Adham Amin Hassoun.

Thank you. Amazing how many people have the USA Today level of
knowledge of current events-- yet talk like they know-- and speak
strongly and make absolute statements, condemn government officials,
etc. etc. But where will they be with the facts are revealed-- when
we learn that the government knew things that completely justified
their legal actions? Gone, the irresponsible will have moved on to
another rumor.

Jose Padilla in no way was denied his day in court. Nothing that the
government did in his case violated his constitutional rights. To
think otherwise is at variance with the facts of the case.

In a word, bullshit!
While I think Padilla is a criminal, and should be convicted and sent to
jail, his rights were violated up and down the line.
Some tort lawyer will come along one of these days and help him sue
those responsible.

The final court ruling says that Padilla's imprisonment as an enemy
combatant was legal. This is a ruling that says that the President's
constitutional rights during wartime give him powers that he otherwise
does not have. There are a number of precedents in constitutional law
that support this. The USSC decided not to hear the appeal in this
case, so the 4th Circuit ruling stands,
I understand that you don't agree with this but the courts make the

Wrong. The final court ruling says that - given the gamey indictment of
Padilla prior to the petition for cert - any further review would be on
strictly hypothetical grounds. The Bush Administration asked the 4th
Circuit to vacate the very ruling you are referring to. Why? Because it
would mean there was no basis for a writ of cert to be issued by the SC.
Why were they concerned about a writ of cert being granted? Because they
were about to be humiliated.

Let's see what happens if Bush decides to exercise those wartime powers you
were referring to. He's been given some very strong hints that it would be
a bad idea for him to push the point. Of course, the hints came from
extreme left-wingers like Chief Justice Roberts.
"Padilla, moreover, retains the option of seeking a writ of habeas corpus in
this Court...
That Padilla's claims raise fundamental issues respecting the separation of
powers, including consideration of the role and function of the courts, also
counsels against addressing those claims when the course of legal
proceedings has made them, at least for now, hypothetical. This is
especially true given that Padilla's current custody is part of the relief
he sought, and that its lawfulness is uncontested.
These are the reasons for my vote to deny certiorari."
Justice Kennedy, joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Stevens

The courts rule on the facts of the case. If I did what Padilla did,
then the court would rule my detention as an enemy combatant as legal.
If the government just arbitrarily decided to rule me an enemy
combatant they would have to make their case as to why they did it. As
an American citizen, I have the right to challenge that classification
in court.

Not according to the ruling you refer to. That's the whole point of the
Bush argument. He doesn't have to explain it, and you don't get to
challenge it.
If you did what Padilla did (what exactly is that? I wonder what he was
indicted for...), then the court would rule as you say if it just happens to
be the 4th Circuit CoA. If it were two of the other courts who reviewed the
Padilla case, then you would be wrong. Even with the 4th Circuit CoA, you
have to wonder how much they like being overturned. Perhaps they can
read...

By 1 out of 4 courts who have ruled. The other 3 disagreed, sometimes in
very strong terms. Conveniently, the President decided to indict very soon
after the last ruling was appealed, the only one where his silly position
was supported Seeing as the Bush Admin position in the Hamdi case was more
in the ballpark than in Padilla's, it was about to be a very embarrassing
day at the SC for Bush and Co.
As a nifty coincidence, the ruling you are referring to was issued by the
CoA Fourth Circuit, which happens to be the same court that issued the Hamdi
ruling subsequently vacated by the Supreme Court. I wonder what the SC
would have done with the Padilla case had Bush not indicted???
In order to save us all unnecessary typing, the SC denied cert to Padilla's
appeal of the 4th Circuit decision, but I'd advise you to actually read
their opinions before you counter with that bit. The fact that there are
opinions to be read in a denial of cert is a very big clue.
Curiously, the Government had gone so far as to request that the 4th Circuit
withdraw it's ruling in their favor prior to the SC's denial of cert. I
wonder why they would do that? It's the very decision you are referring to!
Their position vis a vis the petition for cert was that it should be
denied - not because of the merits of the original decision, but because
their subsequent indictment of Padilla made SC review irrelevant. I wonder
why they would make such an argument?
The opinion issued at the time of denial of cert doesn't really work very
well for your side of the argument, but I'm more than happy to discuss it
with you if you wish.

But are you accountable for the damage your irresponsible words may
have caused? When you finally learn the truth--when you learn that
you were totally wrong when you popped off will you be required to go
back and recant? No, like the New York Times and other irresponsible
voices in America, you are free to say what you want without
accountability.
So those working in our government, those with the actual
responsibility for protecting this country, are obliged to simply
ignore the millions and millions who have been brainwashed-- by a
media whose primary intent is to make the populace hate the current
government.
I am amazed that anyone wants to take those jobs. We are very very
lucky that good people do step forward under these circumstances.

Jose Padilla is being held in solitary confinement. A few days ago,
they took him out of his cell in restraints, blindfolded and wearing
ear protectors to keep him from hearing anything so they could walk him
down the hall to get his teeth worked on by a dentist. Doesn't that
make you proud to be an American?

Except those in supermax prisons have been convicted of a crime.
Padilla hasn't been.
So which county jail do you know that treats accused this way? Hell,
which federal holding facility does this? Other than the one dealing
directly with Padilla.
I think Padilla is most likely guilty of something, but the fact that he
has been held this long and not had his day in court is a travesty of
justice. Someone should be in the cell with him, and that someone is on
our federal payroll.

Matter of fact I do. Marion was the Supermax and I did lots of work out
there.
But, Padilla has not been convicted and should not be in a Supermax.

If he's a threat to other inmates or sucidal he should be.

Since you know literally nothing about what I did for a living, I
suggest you FOAD!
Like you, I am a military careerist. Followed by a civilian job in the
computer industry. Hell, I was probably doing document imaging before
you were.

Of course, lack of facts has never stopped you!
The facts are that he was taken into custody as a US citizen, confined
with no charges for an extended length of time, denied counsel and a
whole host of other civil rights violations. All against the
constitution, and you are OK with it?
What a maroon!

Larry, your ignorance will never cease to amaze me. You're right: the
State Dept. had lots of Middle East experts and lots of post-conflict
reconstruction experts who had a pretty good idea of what would happen
in Iraq post-SH. They produced volumes of reports on it. And you know
what? The White House and the Pentagon refused to have anything to do
with them. Rumsfeld forbade anybody from DoD from attending any
meetings at the State Dept. that had to do with post-invasion Iraq
planning. You know what else? Pretty much everything they said would
happen did happen -- looting, sectarian violence, revenge killings,
etc. Utter chaos. And the people Rumsfeld sent over there to put Iraq
back together after SH was overthrown had absolutely no idea what to do
about it. I defy you to find one statement from the administration to
bear out your contention that they knew Islamic radicals would go
streaming into Iraq after we took out SH. If you were right about this,
that would be a crushing indictment of the Bush regime: they knew Iraq
would be flooded with terrorists, yet they did nothing to prepare for
that.

Our Commander-in-Chief cannot tell America what the overall plan is--He
cannot divulge his strategy without also telling the enemy. Duh.
Once they understand that they are being purposefully attracted to
Iraq-- so they will not attack NYC-- they would find a way to divert
resources to attack America again.
Our own liberal media understands the strategy--knows well the risk and
the strategic purpose of Iraq-- but philosophically hates this (and
all) conservative governments MORE than they love their country. It
is sickening but this has been true for 60+ years. If we had listened
to the liberals we would have lost every important conflict in modern
history. In EVERY ONE they were screaming for us to just get out, cut
and run, give up, quit, surrender, whatever.
Our duty as citizens is to read and watch everything-- and do NOT be so
easily led.
Bush is simply doing his primary duty regardless of the cost to his
personal popularity-- which is to "protect and defend." When he is
retired in 2 years, someone else will have that primary duty-- and I
absolutely guarantee that he will do EXACTLY what Bush is doing once he
has the responsibility and learns the stark alternatives-- which would
be to watch NYC and LA and SF be bombed and millions killed in
SuperBowls, etc. It is easy to criticize and call him names, but
only one person has the ultimate responsibility to protect us.

I doubt that there is even one Iraqi who thinks thing are better there
today than they were under SH. And I hate to tell you this, but the
Taliban are not "gone" from Afghanistan. They're just not in charge.
There is a very distinct possibility that they'll be back in power
someday.

Probably a majority a couple of years ago. Most of those are now

Not in charge is the definitive statement and more to the point, their
Al Qaeda training bases have been closed.
And, I don't see any way that they will be back in power if NATO stays
around.

Actually a majority of Iraqi's feel that it was worth it to oust
Saddam and if you remove the Sunni from the mix, it's an overwhelming
majority with 75% of the Shia and 81% of the Kurds stating that it was
worth it to oust Saddam. So you're wrong about that one. The poll was
conducted in Sept of 2006.

Who said that about Reagan? Not a single Republican, that's for sure.
They were practically nominating hom for sainthood the day after he
left office. Bush's support diminishes every day, even in his own
party. To think that he's going to someday enjoy the same reverance as
Ronald Reagan is ludicrous. But then, that's what we've come to expect
from you.

Maybe they felt bad after Karzai's speech today, when he was reduced
to tears in describing the deaths of women and children from Taliban
terrorists and US/NATO bombs.

Saddam was NEVER a threat to us.
Our invasion of Iraq, however, has created even more enemies in the
Arab world who worry about the US invading their country. Rather than
learning from his mistakes in Iraq Bush seems poised to repeat them in
Iran. Rather than agreeing to talk with Iran, he alienates them

then that's what Bush does best ... he is "The Great Divider."
Wouldn't it be nice if Bush sought to remove the reasons for Iran to
want a nuclear weapon rather than forcing them thru intimidation to
hurry up their nuclear program?

I disagree. There is no doubt that Saddam wanted to develop nuclear
weapons. While his program was not active in the Spring of 2003, it
was clear that once sanction were lifted that he would take up the
task again. Why wait, the US had the chance to get rid of him and
took it. Well done.

There's nothing to talk with Iran about other than having them give up
their nuclear weapons program. Until they do that, there can be no
constructive talks on any issue. Right now, what's happening in Iran
is of much more consequence than what's happening in Iraq.

Lets get real. There were dozens of good books about Islam, Iran,
Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, etc. The State Department has rooms full of PhD
Islam experts who knew exactly what would happen when we invaded
Iraq--and when we established an Infidel presence in this Arab
country. We knew well that Islamic radicals would converge there
from around the world--that they would focus all their assets on
preventing establishment of a government in Iraq that would NOT allow
a safe base and money for planning future attacks on the Infidel
world. It worked. There have been no further attacks on America
since 9/11.
But if our nutcase left forces a "cut and run" pullout from Iraq--
radical Islam will establish a beautiful safe planning base there, use
Iraq's oil and Iran's nuclear weapons-- and we could expect a WAVE of
devastating attacks on America and our allies to start in only months.
And it won't take much to do TRILLIONS of dollars damage to America.
The first successful large scale attack on NYC will crush our monetary
system-- as the world withdraws the investments that are carrying Wall
Street. There would be no way to stop them because like the 9/11
bombers, they do not come from a country we can attack.
If you have bought the liberal media's attacks on Bush and this
delaying tactic war, it will be your fault. If you have kids, they
will never see a happy life like you had.

You've never explained *why* they would converge there, Larry...

The Arab world and especially the radical Islam faction, could not
abide a country with a democratic government in their midst. Theie
world goal requires them to take Iraq and annex it to Iran and Syria.
Their ideal is what Afghanistan was-- a tightly controlled government
by clerics ruling by Sharia Law, hands cut off, flogging, beheadings,
etc. In fact that is their ideal for the entire world! As recently
as yesterday a prominent Muslim cleric said that "soon" America would
be under Sharia law. They expect to take over this country-- as well
as Spain, France, Germany, Turkey, and every other country in the
world. Iraq would be their war base.
All who do not believe this threat is the most important in America's
history are fools. Don Rumsfeld believes it-- and he was the most
qualified Defense Secretary in American history. Did you forget 9/11?
That attack started our entry into WWII, but people seem to have
forgotten this attack which was at least as large.

Right, because the horrific mess we have now is so much better than,
say, maintaining the sanctions would have been.

I'll amend my previous post and say most or all of the Kurds are

I think most people recognize that now. What we don' t realize is the
extent of the damage yet to come from his disastrous administration.
