@ Kitt

Why are you so fearful that it might turn out that Hasan is a terrorist?

lose a city

Why wouldn't you? Would you rather "lose a city"?

-- GlennGreenwald

My assumption regarding this mindset and the bombing in Iran is that, of course, the State department denies any involvement, but reserves the right to do it at the same time.

Because if killing innocent Iranians illegally might possibly save lives here it is therefore a just action on our parts.

Okay, josh, I'll bite. What are we "basking" under? Your blinding wit or your overpowering logic or what...? If it's intelligence, I don't know. There's a quite few bright bulbs here.

do not attempt to bask in my intelligence. it is average

my post was pure mockery

adnoto

Nice. And genuinely funny but there is a problem with your assessment. That would be the fact that my musings and writings are meaningless because they are not heeded:) Everyone has heeded the more and better democrats crowd's advice. People were heeding that advice before Glenn Greenwald and I existed.

So, I know you thought you were on to something there but....

I'm not in disagreement with your railing against the "better democrats" theory. I admit I fell for it, but I'm not going to bludgeoned with the supreme court nomination trump card that is played so often anymore.

my derision of you comes from what seems to be your hatred of dialogue. it would be nice if the world would just get on with itself, let gays fuck and marry, provide equal health care for all regardless of wealth and stop torturing for fuck's sake. you seem to think the methods of others are worthless because they don't produce results. neither do yours

accept it and accept that other people reach conclusions in their own way. as maddening as it is

talk. seriously. offer advice. your only advice, over and over again, is to not vote for democrats. it is just as maddening

adnoto has finally convinced me that GG is wrong!

Greenwald's writings have changed nothing. corporate power still rules

adnoto has also convinced me that his own musings are meaningless. he writes and writes, yet corporate power still rules

my only conclusion is that I am the only one who understands everything

bask you fuckers

shooter

Like King says when they start cutting off fingers as a matter of course, I'll take another look.

another lie from shooter

you would twist and bend to pretend it was nothing more than a little discomfort for an evil terrorist

you know you want to defend it (cutting off accussed terrorist's fingers) anyway. just go ahead and do it. you've got huge brass ones don't you? do it.

mary:

Nicholson certainly had a closer relationship with both the Pope and President Bush than either "Kitt" or "joshuanoyes".

Nicholson was a political appointee of GWB and you still haven't produced a quote from the pope where he said the invasion of Afghanistan was morally justified

If the pope said it, get me a quote from him

mary means to say the "kind of" quote from Nicholson

mary thinks Nicholson is the pope

RMP

in the Panetta article you linked to, he says, "The CIA no longer operates black sites and no longer employs "enhanced" interrogation techniques."

if someone asked him why they don't do these things anymore, what would his answer be?

Saturday, August 1, 2009 09:39 PM

sorry Holly

mary:

ALONG WITH HIS PRAYERS, the aging Pontiff used the suddenly solemn ceremony to express publicly the Vatican's solidarity with the U.S. But, as Nicholson recalls, the Pope went one step further, leaning over to say directly to the new ambassador: "This was not just an attack against America, but against all humanity." These and other papal comments in the weeks following Sept. 11, says Nicholson, gave an "implied justification" from the Holy See for the subsequent U.S.-led military campaign in Afghanistan. It was a prized show of Vatican support for a White House keen on strengthening its standing among American Catholics.

why do you keep quoting nebulous claims from Nicholson?

mary:

1) as a fellow christian, it is my opinion that Bush shared the Pope's moral position on the war

2) this is how i "know" Bush thinks he acts morally...actually i don't claim omniscience. i'm only stating an opinion that i believe is supported by fact

I'm stating your position is based on misreading

Saturday, August 1, 2009 06:13 PM

why oh why?

asked and answered

-- mary_steyr

you seemed to attribute a quote to the pope and imply that that means GWB truthfully felt the same

from your link:

James Nicholson (GWB's then ambassador to the Vatican) said, "A moral justification for war exists."

why did you say the pope said it and what does that have to do with GWB's motives?

like Kitt, I'm already sorry
