What's a little more manipulation from Big Oil among friends?

I'll diss the french on that one
What's absolutely amazing is that we didn't seem to learn much
from our
war against Vietnam and its various "insurgencies." I'm hearing
the same
sorts of really stupid talk from our Prez and company about our
war
against Iraq as I remember from the late 1960s and early 1970s,
and
there is still a large percentage of American people who actually
believe the Chimp-in-Chief and his henchmen. When will they ever
learn?
I'm not sure you can directly analogize the Vietnam conflict with
the
Iraqi War, but I get your point.
No, the conflicts are not the same, but the callousness, stupidity,
and
b.s. coming from our national leaders is pretty much the same. I
watched
Rumsfeld testifying last week, no, telling one lie after another
last
week. It was an incredible performance.
Hell, all of the talk radio Fox news types are saying we are in WW3
and
claiming that this is just like the rise of the Nazis in the late
'30s.
All you have to do is get past your hatred for the Bush administration
and "Big Oil" and things will become clear.
You've got it backwards. Any chance that if Bush had NOT invaded Iraq,
he would have more friends, or at least more people who would patiently
wait for him to vanish from public life? Or, do you think a person's
deeds are not connected with his reputation?
I thought it was the intent rather than the action that determines the
effectiveness of a person or a project?
And, if Pres. Bush had stayed out of Iraq the BP pipeline wouldn't have
rusted and corroded?
If Bush hadn't lied us into Iraq and remained there, there likely would
be more oil on the market, with disruptions of supply, at lower prices,
and Iran wouldn't be so aggressively pursuing our demise, North Korea
might be behaving, and Hezbollah wouldn't have invaded Israel.
"Lied us into Iraq?" It appears that the congress, the House and Senate
failed in their duties didn't they. The President doesn't go to war
without congresses consent.
If your crystal ball is so good why are you living in a broken down house
in bum**** Maryland?
That is all his wife can afford
Many of the serious problems the world is facing right now can be
attributed to the ignorance, hubris, stupidity, laziness and utter
incompetence of Bush and his administration.
When did history start? Was it January 20, 2001?
Harry, as usual, is one presidency off from where the blame lies
