and the fake Bert’s brain died at the same time.

Fixed Bert’s screed.

What kind of a parallel reality does this person live in, anyway?

Hasn’t he heard the US economy is flirting with a recession? It would make this the second recession under Pres Bush’s watch….

The best economy? What specifically has Bush done that has specifically given us the “best economy”? In the last few weeks we very close came to hitting record oil prices (adj. for inflation). What’s that you say? Bush has no control over the prices? Then ring up the White House and tell him that, because I am sure that you remember him bashing Clinton and Kerry over the idea of halting deposits into the SPR in order to affect prices (”government does not need to control prices” he said) only to do that very same thing in an election year. I also remind you that last week he all but demanded that the Saudis increase oil production to lower prices (and they laughed at him).

As for the “democracy” in Iraq, I don’t yet believe it’s complete. Bush himself has said that it takes years for a democracy to be successful; as well, we’ve yet to see any significant movement in political reconciliation, one of the two goals, I remind you, of the “surge.” Yet we have the likes of McCain, Kristol, and Lieberman getting erections every time they shout “the surge has been successful!!!”

That’s Bert’s real message. He can’t believe it’s all fallen apart in seven short years. Republicans are back in the minority, and irrelevent.

WHY do we accept their assertions that the surge is working and that violence is down, when we hear on a daily basis about suicide bombings and ied’s? Why do we accept their precepts that the surge is working when we are PAYING Sunni’s not to attack us? Why have we continued to accept their fairy tale notions of this war from its inception to now? NONE of these people have ever been to war, NONE of these people have any experience dealing with war and NONE of these people have ever been in charge of a war, and yet when they speak, it is as if pearls of wisdom spewing forth from swine.

These people are supposed to be brilliant. From think tanks they just sit around and expound on their rightness even in the face of incredible evidence of their wrongness!!!!! There are other groups of people who do this same thing. They are mental patients.

Weren’t we told this surge was short-term a year ago? Weren’t we told that it was meant to help political reconciliation?

Now, a year later, we are no closer to said political reconciliation than were were a year ago.

Even by Pres Bush’s own standards, this “surge” is not exactly something to brag about.

But since the success of the surge—which I too foreshadowed exactly one year ago in an essay of mine titled “Blueprint for Victory In Iraq”, published in Australia, would culminate in an American victory and make 2007 the Annus Mirabilis for president Bush—the liberal critics of the war like Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, and the vitriolic, but always charming, Maureen Dowd, not to mention others, have been stricken by Nemesis with the aphasia of muteness.

Again, I don’t know how this will be applied. But, if the articles of the law are obeyed and judicial review applied appropriately, it will be an improvement upon the current law and a basis for future reforms.

Let the bashing commence, lol.

Twelve months later, and we are deeper in Bush’s rat hole of a failed War against Iraq. The announcement of Bush’s “Surge” last year led to a public outcry and demonstrations across the country. Bush and the Neo-Cons didn’t give a damn. They “Surged” anyway. Twelve months later, and we are deeper in shit.

i reacted by thinking, “and they’ve only screwed themselves”…
but, that’s not so, is it?
the companies may go down, may go bust, lose more jobs,
but those CEOs and other officers will be just fine, none the worse…
… selfish greed prevails…

I hope that your head is in the sand, not up your read. Either way…

HOW IS THE SURGE WORKING?

2007 = Largest troop casualties = SUCCESS?
2007 = Largest civilian death rate = SUCCESS?
2007 = No political solution in place = SUCCESS?

Did you get that bumper sticker slogan at WallMart?
Was it made in China?

Democracy at gunpoint is not democracy at all, but instead, TYRANNY!

Does it bother anybody else here that these neocon traitors are given high falutin titles by the media? This idiot is a “scholar?” Even TP does it here.
