On the sky:

“I think the sky is probably blue.”

On the nature of feet:

“I think most people probably have two.”

On the shape of the earth:

“I think it’s most probably spherical.”

Thank you Coburn, you are a mine of information.

Not relative to the here and now? WTF? Of course it’s relevant to the here and now, and also to the there and forever. We need to make sure no future president f___s up as bad as Bush has.

I still cannot fathom how anyone with a crumb of wisdom wouldnt consider how they came to be someplace they would rather not be. How would they ever learn if they failed to acknowledge the experience?

Just admit you were on board.

How funny. JT strongly suggests we read a piece by Charles Krauthamer, a neocon thug who has been wrong about, oh, everything. Krauthamer thought invading Iraq was a great idea. He called Al Gore “hateful” for arguing against the invasion of Iraq. Krauthamer argued strongly that Valerie Plame wasn’t covert even after the prosecutor in the case said she absolutely WAS covert under the terms of the statute in question. Krauthamer thought we should bomb Iran quickly because of their nuclear program which we later found out didn’t exist.

And now, of course, JT thinks we should all rush to the feet of the master, Charles Krauthamer, for words of wisdom. Too funny.

Nope, not even then…

And BTW, I’m hetero and I’ve got Gaydar too! ;)

Over 700,000 have been killed. 4 million have fled the country.

That sounds like a genocide to me.

“Certainly”, “Positively”, “Without a doubt” are the terms the majority of Americans, & the VAST majority of people in the rest of the world, would say.

Iraq was not only a ‘mistake’– it was illegal, criticized, and deplored by the majority of the world.

Repubs & Bush & Co. live in a horrific dreamworld.

I can only assume that this word was used without John Hart having any idea what it means. The comment seems to be a repetition of the talking point that once US troops withdraw, any Iraqis who collaborated with the US will be killed. That would/will indeed be unfortunate, but it isn’t “genocide”.

As to “surrendering to al Qaeda” – come on!! Yes, al Qaeda came into Iraq after the US invaded. Yes, there is an al Qaeda presence in Iraq…. but they are hardly the primary force of resistance. We are being resisted by regular Iraqis, most of whom are not affiliated with al Qaeda. Remember – al Qaeda regards the Shiites as infidels and polytheists. There are lots of Shiites in Iraq, and a lot of the people who make up the resistance come from this sectarian group. Quite frankly, the easiest way to rid Iraq of al Qaeda is for the US to leave and let the Iraqis do it themselves – and trust me, they don’t like foreign insurgents any more than they like foreign occupiers.

Yet again, we have the “win vs. surrender” meme. But neither victory nor failure have been defined. “Victory” can mean practically anything – as can “defeat”.

Liars and lies need to be fought with the truth. haven’t the last 8 years taught us anything?

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say, “Based on a complete lack of intelligence…”, no?
