It may have been pointless, but I didn't say he caused it.

Oh, this is going to suck.

Ethenol, wind, solar, nuke...

Does it still seem like a good idea to stick with fossil fuels and all the political implications of? (ow bad construction) We are presently caught up in this because our two political parties are profoundly corrupted by oil and military dollars. It seems to me that we could get the Feds out of our pockets and our people out of the mid-east with a few bold and inexpensive strokes.

Aw, shee-yit.

With every explosion, $ signs are flashing in the eyes of Big Oil CEO's everywhere. New record profits to be reported next quarter.

It is only a matter of time before some strike on an American target of opportunity will occur in Lebanon. I think it is wise to get our people out. Wouldn't be nearly the first time that had happened in such a conflict.

"...political implications thereof."
"...and all their attending political implications."

etc...

Like much Bush-bashing, it turns out to not actually survive close examination. But it felt good to say it at the time, and created a feeling of warm, smug cameraderie amongst the True Beleivers.

It seems we've had some President's that didn't know that. ;)

Israel won't be flattened....they may all die of radiation poisoning but it won't be flattened. The west will step in before that happens. I don't know if they'll step in before the Israelis nuke their neighbors, though.

Actually, what I stated has held up. W wants to increase stabilty in the Middle East through democratization, and western influence. It hasn't worked (smugly). In fact, the middle east is less stable than it was before the invasion of Iraq.
I said my post may have been pointless. Let me rephrase, and say it may not have been germane to the thread. It had a point, which was Bush Bashing. It felt good to say it at the time, and created a feeling of warm, smug cameraderie amongst us True Beleivers. ;)

It sounds to me as if the Bush bashers are not the only ones with their ladles in the Kool-Ade.

I can't figure out what 25,000 Americans are doing in that God-forsaken place anyway.

This situation is escalating by the hour. Sure would be nice if we could just stay the hell out of it for once.

So, I wonder what all the jews that moved in 2004 to escape all the hatred think about being in Israel now?

No, really, I have no idea why anyone would want to move from the US to that perpetual hotspot.

...... I could shoot you in the back of the head with a bb gun when you're not looking.......

Nonono, that would start ragnarok, funkykule. You know, when the Giants fight the Gods?

not familiar with that one...i'm assuming i'm the giant and wolf is the god, in which case, are you calling me fat?:D
