LOL, “Foreign Policy Experts”

Remember when guys like Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Cheney used to be called “foreign policy experts.”

These experts are right Bush is losing the war on terror. Military action against Iran will make us less safe. Bush should instead concentrate on Afghanistan and Pakistan where the real threat is. Bush argument that they will follow us home if we don’t fight is Iraq is wrong and juvenile.

The Iraq war has created more terrorists. Sending in more troops to Iraq was a bad idea. Our presence in Iraq is used as a recruiting tool by insurgents and al Qaeda. Redeploying all troops out of Iraq is the only solution left for Bush. I am glad this report has acknowledged how negative an impact the surge has had.

We are no doubt less safe because of Bush’s policies in Iraq. This report is a strong condemnation of Bush’s foreign policy in Iraq and how he has conducted his war on terror.

I got this crock of shit in my e-mail this morning, looked at it, noted that there was no list of “non-partisan experts,” remembered that William Dobson is an ultra-left Newsweak agitpreppie, and dismissed the poll as just more rubbish from the Soros wing of the infra-red left [the Euro-Commie type]. The Cargnegie Endowment runs FP, and it has gone downhill fast since Bill Maynes left the Mging Editor job.

What the hell about the opinions of Congress, the Judiciary, and the American people?

People like Mr. Hendler need to be told what to think, what to say, and what to do.

Which is why the cultists go into a blind rage whenever their father figure is criticized: They cannot fathom, let alone tolerate, anyone who doesn’t idolize their authoritarian father figure the way they do.

On topic,

There is something wrong with this panel of “experts”. How in the world can someone even consider Iraq will become a “beacon of democracy”, when what Iraqis have right now is a puppet government ruling with laws not even written by them but by their occupiers?

How is that fertile ground for democracy?

“This is the tragedy for the American people as there are many who did see this but were unable to stop it. If no accountability (the checks and balances) is ever achieved then one thing we will all know is that American isnâ€™t a functioning democracy as they pretend.

And this is one of the reasons why we have to impeach both Chaney and Bush. If we don’t show the world that we have learned from their mistakes and are working to fix the damage, we will forever be a nation scorned by the rest of the world.

Fortunately, foreign policy isnâ€™t the result of instantaneous polls among individuals with no skin in the game. The only opinion that matter is that of OUR President, George W. Bush.

George Bush has skin in the game? Did Jenna join the Marines?

What? Not even Barney’s opinion?

I knew you were messed up, Jason, but this post is dripping with so much authoritarianism it sounds positively Stalinist. What the hell about the opinions of Congress, the Judiciary, and the American people?

If those are the only two proposed solutions you have heard, both of which are based on false premises, then I suggest you expand your news sources beyond Fox.

We also allowed death squads to roam civilian areas,

I rather suspect we encouraged it.

Comment by PeterW â€” August 20, 2007 @ 2:02 pm

And armed them, no doubt.

I wish someone would explain exactly how “they” will “follow us home?”

Boats (should be able to intercept)
airplanes (check passports)
cross borders (possible)

I would hope our national security apparatus would do some good.

Except that they are probably woefully underfunded since the money is being funneled into the Iraq fiasco.

To be fair, Im gonna give the allowance of the vast majority of the world for the involvement of the US in the WWII… but it was after they were attacked. At that time Churchill was making money selling weapons to StalinÂ´s Russia under attack.

Such a bunch of nice people everywhere, dont you think?

And remember how we called the Japanese Imperialists during WWII? Guess we should look in the mirror now, huh?
Comment by upside00 â€” August 20, 2007 @ 1:45 pm

I propose a new law to be petitioned to Congress.
Anyone found guilty of starting a war to spill blood for Corporate Interests, and not a danger to the US, should be eligible for the death penalty.

What, like all those Chileans who were suffering under the democratically-elected despot Allende? Or the Ecuadorians who were crying out for us to sabotage President Aguilera’s plane?
