From the Wall Street Journal. Reason given? A notification from Josh Bolten that anyone there past Labor Day would be expected to be there for the full ride.

Writing in the CT forum.. I was thinking, is there a real danger of Islamism grabbing hold of Iraq in the future? The current mess, and the possibility of US forces being withdrawn, are both victories for the three main sectarian factions. Besides, if you lived in Baghdad right now, I can't...

I apologise for my increase in posting, I just have a lot I wish to document recently. There is one representative for someone who is critical toward the Bush Admin, American foriegn policy, Vietnam War, Iraq War etc, and I think many, like me, who share a certain amount of contempt for the...

How does one go about measuring Bush's intelligence? It may well be an impossible task...just as impossible as the question of "How Much Does a Meme Weigh?". For those of you who may have missed it, this particular thread, started by a rather non-sensical post by T'ai Chi, has gone on to...

As far as I know Sweden has allowed more refugees than the U.S., which is scandalous given our responsibility and our size. (1) An article in today's NYT summarizes the Oxfam report making the rounds: I know the "everything-is-just-peachy" crowd might seize upon this next bit so let, um...

Bush's former president dad went skydiving at 70 (when Jr. never has), and it seems to me that the real cause of the useless aristocracy syndrome that destroys a civilization is the kids. That's right, the bratty spoiled kids of guys who at least can work and hustle a little to earn a buck...

Evidently Dubya is so unpopular that the mere mention of his name may be sufficient to sway a jury to vote a certain way... http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1184869654447 A township is defending itself from a civil rights lawsuit brough by a doctor who claims he was "apprehended" for...

The discussion of high crimes and misdemeanors of GW Bush is on this thread, The I-Word, Swapping Presidents. I am looking for admissions of hypocrisy, you can admit it unapologetically and anonymously. If you want to discuss whether Bush has committed impeachable offenses, the other thread is...

Bill Moyers had a program on the I-word and its application to Dick and Bush. If it did happen then who would be in the White House? Would it mean that Nancy Pelosi and Robert Byrd becoming President and Vice President? And wouldn't it screw up the Democratic party candidates run for president...

http://www.lockheedmartin.com/wms/findPage.do?dsp=fec&ci=18462&rsbci=13944&fti=134&ti=0&sc=400 So it’s ok for the President to buy worthless toys from foreign countries. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18356061/page/4/ But US troops are denied a functional system now that would save their...

George Bush Is The Antichrist Seriously, why does he keep doing that demonic Satanly thing with his hands? Does he weigh the same as a duck?

http://media.smh.com.au/?rid=28921&sy=smh&source=smh.com.au%2F That was pretty quick.

I'm sure one of our veteran debaters has a name for this type reasoning. I'll call it a false choice. Surrendering, IMHO implies giving up a fight. The purpose of the threats made to Saddam dealt totally with the issue of WMDs. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If the inspections had been...

Thought that might get your attention. :D Without much attention by the news media, Bush signed some kind of secret directive which outlines the special powers he plans to grant himself should there be another 9/11 type incident. National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive...

"Nine U.S. military ships entered the Gulf on Wednesday for a rare daylight assembly off Iran’s coast in what naval officials said was the largest such move since the 2003 Iraq war. U.S. Navy officials said Iran had not been notified of plans to sail the vessels, which include two aircraft...

Sort of. But I agree with Bush, however, hehasn't earned it... From Dan Fromkin's Washington Post column: Washingtion Briefing...back in late April... Bush Gets a Purple Heart -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joyce May writes in the Cove...

Children taken from single parents in uniform when they are mobilized The problem is that the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act doesn't apply to child custody cases, because the courts are there to protect the child's interests. And in some cases, it may very well be in the best interests of...

For the longest time when people have accused Bush of being stupid the counter argument has been that he is really smart, just very inarticulate and something to the effect that if he was stupid he wouldn't have gone to Harvard or have become a governor or become President. I think the...

In which I start on the premise that Bush is engaged in a holding action with the U.S. military being held hostage in Iraq in ransom for Bush's place in history as the non-loser of a catastrophic war. But if there's anything the last 4 years have demonstrated, it's that the world does not bend...

*When I say "We" I dont mean us personally, please don't be anal!* In Iraq, I believe the unoffical body count is somewhere in 200,000-600,000. However, this unbelievably high body count (Half a million) is not the direct result of the military, given that it is suicide attacks on other...

Ok, I'm struggling here trying to maintain my cognitive dissonance and failing miserably. I'm truly outraged that Mike Nifong used the power of his office to obfuscate and push through a prosecution that should never have seen the light of day given that at best the evidence was contradictory...

He can't define what constitutes victory for our troops in Iraq, but apparently knows that the Dems plan to withdraw constitutes victory for "our enemies." Let's see, attacking with relative impunity, choosing when and where to attack, using improvised explosives and small arms to hold off...

Christ Almighty, I stand here to invoke the imaginary deity because I can't think of any better way to express my dismay that the President of the United States, who was elected (sort of) to actually run this country, and has the default responsibility especially to run the wars he's started and...

This time, it's Vic Gold: He's just another Bush hater, so it doesn't count.

If the ◊◊◊◊ hits the fan, Bush and Cheney might need to hightail it out of town fast. What kind of exit strategies do you think they have planned? Edited to add: Damn, I was going to make this a poll. Well, the options are below, feel free to choose one, or supply your own. 1. Set off nuke in...

Assuming that Bush was eligible to run in 2008 would you vote for him?

As we all know, the job of a Presidental press secretary is to spin events. Tony Snow, Bush's Information Minister has been declaring that the President is perfectly within his rights invoking executive privilege in the current attorney general investigation. Well, how times change, see the...

I saw this in Salon today, if accurate, it may tell us all somehting about the Bush crack-up: At the latest meeting of Bush's book club, where the guest was "Andrew Roberts, an English conservative historian and columnist and the author of 'The Churchillians' and, most recently, 'A History of...
