Maybe if he just told the truth, he wouldn't have to train so hard. How hard is it to remember "I can't remember?"
"...then in the fall of 2006, the president heard the call of the American people who wanted to see a change in Iraq..." and did the opposite of what the people said they wanted done.
"Tenet admits to saying the "slam-dunk" business." This may the first time someone in the Bush administration has admitted to actually remembering anything.
"Success is not no violence... But success is a level of violence where the people feel comfortable about living their daily lives. And that's what we're trying to achieve."
Sounds like we had success before he carried out his his wacky plan to bring failure to Iraq.
The Democrats knew all along they didn't have the votes to override a veto, so to cave in now makes the whole previous spectacle just a waste of time, unless they all plan to vote against the bill itself. It's like the "victory" the Democrats were claiming during the Supreme Court nominations when they saved the ability to filibuster by agreeing to not filibuster.
Gee, I wonder what it's going to say?
"We're making progress. The next six months will be crucial. Another blank check, please."
Anybody got better suggestions? Oh, and labels beginning with "neo-" are just as meaningless.
I'm sure there are better labels out there, but instead of liberals and conservatives, wimps and asses are what I see...
...in that only morons seem unable to answer it.
...seems to be the George W. Bush family motto.
Wasn't that "Half-Hour News Hour" thing supposed to prove that Republicans aren't just doodieheads but are really funny doodieheads?
If the critical phase of the Surge involves Bush reporting for duty on the front lines to provide the quality of leadership that only he can bring, I'd change my mind and be all for it.
It couldn't be the Mac. As everyone who has used one knows, they never have problems, never have bugs, and are so smart and capable that they can usually finish a task before you start it. If Apple made a printer, it would either never run out of ink or automatically refill or replace the cartridge in the background while you are busy downloading iTunes and iMovies to your iPod and iPhone.
If Brownback or any other Republican gets to nominate another Supreme Court justice, during the senate hearings it will undoubtedly be revealed that that person will never have even considered abortion or its legal issues; in fact, they probably won't even be able to remember hearing about it in the past or have any idea what they would do if they had to decide a case dealing with it. And then, their spouse will start to cry...
...and 20% think Christianity is an older religion than Judaism?
Not until Coulter and her peers are no longer given media time to voice their inflammatory rhetoric. If that's all Matthews has to offer, I won't even bother starting to watch him.
Bush and his crew need to stop blaming this mess on the Commanders on the Ground. Unless Commanders on the Ground is a subidiary of Halliburton.
If you understood "The Secret", you could have positive climate change, a new car, and be rich enough to enjoy "O" magazine.
...is not a valid legal defense. Are we really becoming that collectively immature?
David Vitter would claim that his God is bigger than yours, Peter Maranci.
The group that didn't exist until Bush conveniently provided a place for them to flourish.
Bush isn't claiming any new powers, just extending this policy from the military to the entire executive branch (with a possible extension--Don't Remember).
I seem to remember that Fox News was planning on reducing their coverage of Iraq, claiming a lack of news, which may account for some of the 10% rise in the perception of the surge working.
Leahy should lighten up on the guy. Rove is probably only resigning because he realizes his memory is probably not as good as it once was and that most of his actions are taking place under his authority but not under his ability to remember anything.
Knowing that this report by Commanders on the Ground, LLC, will validate his tactics in Iraq must be one reason that Bush claims to sleep well every night. They're probably already working on the next Friedman unit's report as well.
When Congress first established the benchmarks, we were 0 for 18. The GAO says 3 for 18, and now MSNBC says 5 for 18. We must be makin' progress.
I would agree with assessment; however, the fact that this man became president (twice) doesn't say much for us as a nation, either.
I was all set to buy an iPod so I could watch episodes of "Dateline--To Catch a Predator" on a 2.5" screen at $1.99 a shot, but at $4.99 I'll just have to suffer watching it on my 47" LCD for free.
Maybe he means he's keeping Congress' ass or the media's ass. He might be right.
Bush isn't going anywhere until the Iraq oil deal passes, and the oil companies control the Iraqi oil fields. It's the only benchmark that matters to him.
Psychics routinely make predictions around New Years for the upcoming year; when these predictions are verified for accuracy, they never have more than a few fuzzy hits (a hurricane will strike Florida) and a huge number of misses (Englebert Humperdinck will win a Nobel prize). It never seems to hurt their marketability to the media that they are almost always wrong.
The media here won't even bother, at least not on a major scale, to verify the justifications for the surge against what "facts" Bush will feed them next week. They haven't done so for the war itself, so why start now? Congress, unfortunately, will also play it safe and roll over.
shows what pessimists Democrats are. She sees the glass 5/6 empty, unlike the optimistic President and Commanders on the Ground, who see it as 1/6 full.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
