I am simply questioning the integrity and objectiveness of your source...

Or perhaps you would believe that billclintonisaliar.com would be a good objective source of information about Bill Clinton, eh?? :^/

Hint to you.. You would be a LOT more believable if you weren't such a hysterical Bush Basher....

Your like the bird watcher who takes a big picture book of all the birds of the world, hysterically points to all the red birds in the book and screams, "SEE!!!! THERE IS PROOF POSITIVE THAT ALL BIRDS ARE RED!!!!!!!"

Actions like that just cause you to be lumped with the likes of Charlie Sheen and other conspiracy loons....

Michale.....

Yeah... Big Noise Films is saying something totally unsupported elsewhere... oh wait...

here

Fahdawi, the sheik from the Albu Fahd tribe, said the militia was forged in a series of secret meetings among tribal leaders, each of whom was asked to help form the group. Some contributed men, some money, Fahdawi said. U.S. military officers attended some of the meetings, he said, and helped "with "all kinds of financial support."

Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, a U.S. military spokesman in Baghdad, denied that American forces were funding the militia.

So, Fahdawi states that the U.S. is giving them all kinds of financial support and Lt. Col. Johnson rushes to the mic screaming we aren't funding the militia!

Yeah... sure... totally unsupported by such sources as the Washington Post...

Now THERE is an objective source for information, eh?? :^/

Tell me, is Hillary and her money-buddy Hsu featured prominently in that site??

Of course not.. Because EVERYONE knows that only the GOP can have "crooks and liars" in their midst..

That was sarcasm in case you missed it..

Michale.....

Actually... "hypocritical" is too kind... I'd call it criminal...

2+2 DOES equal 4 in the "reality" based world...

Michale.....

It's "D'oh!"

Hank Azaria said it was originally written into the script as "annoyed grunt," and he took a page from Hollywood of old, when actors weren't allowed to curse on screen. They'd start to say "damn" or "dammit" and then halfway through have to censor themselves. Hence: "D'oh!"

I don't know why I'm in such a nitpicky mood this week...

For the record, the immortal word of Homer Simpson is, "DOH!!", not "DUH!!"... :D

DOH!!!!!!

Michale.....

That was so close to 9/11 as to actually be billed as part of the same attack..

However, since yer gonna be all nit-picky on me :D I will amend my statement to say that there hasn't been a terrorist attack on US proper since 9/18....

ppppfffffffffffffftttttt :D hehehehehehehehe

Michale.....

DUH!!!!!

Except the anthrax attack, of course. Everyone always seems to forget that one....

Bash the Bush Administration all you want, but it is UNDENIABLE that it has kept this country free of terrorist attacks on US proper in the past six years..

As you point out, it isn't "merely" the "Bush Doctrine" as you can trace this duality back through other administrations of both political parties.

Yes, the Bush Doctrine is flawed. Yes, it is hypocritical. But then, that is now what passes for "democracy" in the United States.

I don't believe it can be stressed enough that when Joe McCarthy tried to run roughshod over America during the "Red Scare", it took one journalist refusing to be cowed, and a program director willing to support him, to give Congress the "balls" to rebuke McCarthy.

Since the 1950's, it seems every administration becomes "Groundhog Day" for America; just another administration tossing out the constitution in secrecy. Only, George Bush and Dick Cheney have even stopped pretending. They, like Nixon before them, have flat issued the challenge; impeach us or stfu.

Nixon left office when the votes for impeachment were a certainty. Today, we don't even have a Congress willing to do it.

In a way, it is kind of fitting today is the anniversary of 9/11... a day when we are reminded that our government, our President, can be so totally inept, can violate law after law in America with impunity... a day when we are reminded that every source of protection American's thought they had failed them... a day when we are reminded that we waged a war of aggression and occupy a nation, just as Russia tried to do in 1979 with Afghanistan... a day, oh yeah, when our country was attacked and thousands of our citizens were killed, and the administration tried to actually block an investigation into just how that happened.

The "BUSH" Doctrine was the problem in Vietnam and Cuba??

Nice bit o' time traveling you got going there... :D

One might also point out (and be just as factually correct) that Bin Laden is alive today to make videos because of the Clinton Doctrine of getting blowjobs, committing perjury, blowing up worthless aspirin factories and filing lawsuits to combat terrorism...

Regardless of all that, the doctrine is now called The Democratic Party doctrine, as they have the power to stop all the excesses...

They are just A> too afraid to use it or 2> realize that Bush is right in what he is doing..

Which is it??

Michale.....

Very thoughtful post.
