I suspect they commissioned a poll of how well their PR propaganda was doing, because they called me a couple of days ago, and were asking all kinds of questions about their “talking points”. I suspect they might think their money’s not being spent that well, if they tabulate my responses (maybe I should have lied and told them their message was getting across; lead them down the wrong path, so to speak).

Cheers,

Why? So you can bask in American exceptionalism? Except when the cards were down, Bush allowed NO. to drown because it would change the city’s demographic makeup from a democrat stonghold if the folks were forced to vacate. The only difference is in degree, so get off the moral high horse.

katy Says: not to mention the support and aid from other countries
that bushco turned away…

OH GET FREAKIN REAL!!!

This is the MOST Assinine thing I have read on this Blog since someone suggested we can’t know for sure that Al-Qaeda tells lies.

Can you dopes grasp that half a million people are likely to die because the government of Burma is deliberately preventing assistance from reaching the victims? That is twice the entire population of New Orleans and you two dare to compare the two?

Outrageous.

See ya TP, have a good weekend.

Indeed…Sounds more like a page out of Bush’s shock doctrine.

This is hilarious. I guess this guy never heard of Katrina or New Oleans, and what the republican junta allowed to happen there.

My point is/was, Hezbollah, Hamas, Sadr…they are all after the same thing and are damn good at using force to get it. Yes, that is my opinion, but an inability to empirically prove something to be a fact should not cause paralysis of thought.

Could you see us helping out the democratically elected government of Lebanon turn back Hezbollah with airpower?

Being a non-Christian, you should amend that to “Thank an accident of birth I was born in the US.” ;)

Praise the Powerful and Beneficient Goddess Fors Fortuna I was born in the US.

Sheesh.

Hey, I’m not saying Sadr is a wonderful guy and that he has no political motivations, but really, you are stating an opinion here.

It is situations like this that make me question the meaning of the term “sovereign nation”. They are going to allow a Rwanda style genocide to occur simply by forbidding the outside world from helping their people. Sickening and infuriating.

The stuff of GWB’s Katrina wet dreams. I agree with you on this, it’s heartbreaking and sickening. My youngest is inconsolable over the Burma situation.

Thank God I was born in the US.

That’s your opinion, not proof.

Cripes, Zooey…okay, I’ll bet he sent the Mahdi Army into the streets armed to the teeth with no political objective at all. He certainly has no interest in power. I’ll bet Hezbollah doesn’t either.

Sheesh.

The proof is his failed insurrection is Basra a month or more ago. It was a power grab. It would have worked, too, were it not for US and British Airpower backing up the IDF.

I’d like to see some proof of that allegation, please.

Looks like Lebanon is going to go the way of Gaza. This is what Sadr would like to see happen in Iraq, too.

I’ve been reading the comments. While i have nothing of any real value to add today (nothing unusual about that i suppose!), might i just add that i believe Hilary Rodham Clinton will be John McCain’s running mate in the upcoming election. I think Obama will go with Joe Biden and we’ll have one heck of a Presidential race on our hands.

I beg to differ with you. You do add value.

In the case of Obama, I’m hoping he will pick Kucinich or Elizabeth Edwards. I completely agree with you on John McCain that is a perfect match, considering how she has handled everything in the last three months. Neither one has a shred of credibility left.

there’s that venezuelan boogey man again…

and the speculators…
