Trying To Pretend We Are Not At War

30 Dec

From our former beloved Pres. Dick Cheney, the one who got us into two wars and lost both of them comes another silly speech.

“As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of Sept. 11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.”

Despite the fact that he was not equal to the task as he waited most of his life for, he really has no right to slam Pres. Obama. Especially given the fact that Obama did not immediately attack someone as Cheney and McCain would’ve done.

Pres. Obama has increased the number of troops in Afghanistan and proven that he knows we are at war. President Cheney is just upset over the fact that he totally lost the Afghanistan war. By walking away from it he thinks he is now an expert on who we are at war with.Pres. Obama has vowed to get to the bottom of whoever planned this and get them. That is pretty much an indication in my mind that Obama knows we are at war.

I wish there was a way to get into Pres. Cheney’s face and let him know what fool he is. He wholeheartedly supported Rumsfeld as he murdered thousands of our own troops and now he seems to want to be an expert on warfare. He might want to consider he is pretty lucky that he is not in prison, the same way that his English counterpart Tony Blair might soon be.

Dick Cheney constantly shows us how weak and ineffective he really was. The only thing he was effective at was creating more terrorists and more terrorism.how long before he is screaming about how we should be attacking Yemen as John McCain has already done.

But Dick Cheney method was to attack Al Qaeda where they were and then follow them around and knee-jerk actions as they move from place to place when he could have stopped them in their spot to begin with. All he had to do was execute the war he started in Afghanistan properly and completely. The man is a failure.

 
 

A 5 Spiral Crash

15 Sep
For gods sake STOP IT!

For gods sake STOP RUTTING!

I find this article from the Raw Story very revealing and quite frankly, hilarious.

It was very obvious that the media had picked John McCain to be the front runner for the Republican party. To find out the George W. Bush was uncomfortable about that is surprising. The picture of John McCain hugging George W. Bush and looking like a little piggy still burns in my memory.

According to a new book — excerpts of which are to be published in the next issue of GQ Magazine and detailed Tuesday — former President George W. Bush was incredulous upon learning that Sen. John McCain was having trouble drawing a crowd and called his campaign a “five-spiral crash.”

RAW STORY got a copy of the excerpts Tuesday. The excerpts are from Matt Latimer’s soon-to-be-published book “Speech-Less.”

Bush seemed to feel considerable unease with the choice of McCain as well. I think he liked Romney best. (The rumor was that so did Karl Rove.) My guess was the president hadn’t so easily forgotten the endless slights he’d suffered, but there was little he could do. To him, McCain’s defeat would be a repudiation of the Bush administration, so McCain had to win… I was once in the Oval Office when the president was told a campaign event in Phoenix he was to attend with McCain suddenly had to be closed to the press…

“If he doesn’t want me to go, fine,” the president said. “I’ve got better things to do.”

Eventually, someone informed the president that the reason the event was closed was that McCain was having trouble getting a crowd. Bush was incredulous—and to the point. “He can’t get 500 people to show up for an event in his hometown?” he asked. No one said anything, and we went on to another topic. But the president couldn’t let the matter drop. “He couldn’t get 500 people? I could get that many people to turn out in Crawford.” He shook his head. “This is a five-spiral crash, boys.”

Bush also is quoted as saying Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was “being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for” after McCain announced her as his vice presidential running mate.

“I’m trying to remember if I’ve met her before. I’m sure I must have.” His eyes twinkled, then he asked, “What is she, the governor of Guam?”

Everyone in the room seemed to look at him in horror, their mouths agape. When Ed told him that conservatives were greeting the choice enthusiastically, he replied, “Look, I’m a team player, I’m on board.” He thought about it for a minute. “She’s interesting,” he said again. “You know, just wait a few days until the bloom is off the rose.” Then he made a very smart assessment.

“This woman is being put into a position she is not even remotely prepared for,” he said. “She hasn’t spent one day on the national level. Neither has her family. Let’s wait and see how she looks five days out.” It was a rare dose of reality in a White House that liked to believe every decision was great, every Republican was a genius, and McCain was the hope of the world because, well, because he chose to be a member of our party.

Sarah Palin, A New Comedy Act?

06 Jul

One has to wonder if Sarah Palin isn’t trying to take over Al Franken’s spot in the comedy world.

She was pretty well out of the public eye by being silent and just doing her job until she popped up and decided to quit her position as governor. At which time and part she blamed the media because it was picking on her.

I cannot and will not question her feelings towards Alaska. Nor will I question her accomplishments as governor of Alaska. And quite frankly as far as I’m concerned what her family does is absolutely no concern of mine. Illegitimate babies, infighting, are all family manners and none of my business.

For her the beginning started when John McCain picked her to be his running mate. Despite the fact that many Republicans groaned, he did it anyways. For him, the need to have a token woman was stronger than his desire to win the election.

Al Franken Or Next President?

Al Franken Or Next President?

Let’s face it this is politics and you at least need someone who’s face is recognizable to run with you. But because of the fact that Hillary Clinton ran he thought he could make political hay with choosing a woman. And as it turned out, just any woman. If that as far as I’m concerned, this showed the weakness of John McCain and his inability to make the right decisions. How could this man ever be president?

She was just about the last person anyone could ever dream of picking. While the Republican Hitler youth went insane over her being appointed second-in-command her total lack of experience and knowledge was constantly exposed. And that is where it started for the press. She was little more than a cartoon character who was an aside to John McCain’s solid portfolio of political history.

Sarah Palin should have known that she was not qualified for this position. If you want to be a politician you have to know when to get past being flattered and being intelligent. It is apparent that she never got past the being flattered part and moved right into being fluttered. She assigned to her self-importance a position that was not deserved. She walked right in to a situation that set her up for where she is today.
