True. But then a sub-idiotic moron with experience in managing Texas didn't manage to do well for EIGHT long years. Did he?

He had a kickass team which was EXTREMELY loyal to him until death: Ascroft, Gonzales, Cheney, Rice, the list goes on.

Since, for 8 fuckin' long years, this single-digit-IQ gun-wielding texan idiot did NOTHING for the common citizen, and cratered the economy, and our jobs and shitted on the constitution, and imprisoned fellow citizens without due process of law, it seems his accomplishments equal a negative value.

In Mathematics, zero is greater than a negative number.

Why don't you sign up for Marines?

Are you a wimp? Sign up and prove Bush is right, and that Might makes right.

Go ahead, kick some ass in Iraq. Kill a few warm bodies with your M1 Carbine and come back and tell your kids what a great soldier you were, firing indiscriminately into the crowd and killing dozens because someone MAY have had a concealed weapon.

I guess 8 years of Bush rule is not enough for the rednecks like you.

You probably deserve to be ruled by Bush for 50 long years, until such time you are left penniless on the street with no roof over your head, and can't complain because you will be treated in Gitmo if you do.

Absolutely well said.

Classifying Cheney as anything remotely Human insults our entire species not to mention the thousands who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Cheney belongs to a species called: Bipedia Corporatica.

Rumsfeld, should be given a job by Obama: as Ambassador to Afghanistan.

Gonzales should be given the task of making New Orleans crime-free within 48 hours failing which he should be dropped off unprotected in the most crime-ridden city with a fat wad of dollars sticking out of his pockets.

The best insult Obama can give Bush is not to shake his hand during hand off and instead thank him in acceptance speech for ruining the country in so short a time.

Not only was that a cheap shot, but also typical of a Bushiite supporter. Throw mud on whomever speaks the facts, attack the person rather than the idea...

Nothing surprises me anymore.

But don't worry, you will get Palin in 2012. Then you racists can dance to your hearts content about electing a ditzy blonde to the highest office of your country, plus you get a chance to play with her while she pushes you into your grave.

Oh BTW, The Towers were attacked under Bush's watch. Or are you going to claim Clinton was the president on 9/11?

As i said earlier, am NOT a fan of Hitler. I do NOT, repeat NOT, love him or admire him.

That SoB should have been waterboarded by Rommel BEFORE he moved into Ruhr and then by Von Manstein.

What i was pointing to was France's political weakness led to its defeat inspite of having the strongest tanks and army.

If it had not been for the imbecile fool Hitler, someone more competent and more terrifying would have changed the map of Europe.

Imagine someone who did NOT hate Jews, someone with the brains of Von Manstein and yet the charisma of Hitler.

More dangerous?

Exactly. That's why i said in a strange, perverse, cruel way Hitler was good for Germany just like cutting off your head because you are suffering from Cold, Headache and eye cataracts.

There are significant differences between the Indian Police mode of operations and the US.

Indian Police is governed by the archaic colonial 1890's law which specifically prohibits the following:

1) No Central/Federal police agency. The law specifically prevents sharing of intelligence across states (British fear and now Indian).

2) No intelligence apparatus. The British police were mainly made of brawn and were used to break up anti-british protests. Now the same police is used to break up anti-government protests. Still no intelligence-gathering apparatus.

3) Political control of Police. The state-level police in India are controlled by political bosses. Even a lowly local legislator over-ranks the HIGHEST police officer in district. This is an indian invention which made sure elected officials control police. The intention was altruistic. But given the level of corruption in india, political control is a dangerous tool.

These three factors conspire to prevent effective intelligence gathering, sharing of said intelligence and acting upon any intelligence gathered unilaterally.

More laws like PATRIOT Act will NOT help India unless the police force is overhauled and political control removed.

Unfortunately, that is the last thing our politicians want and hence we are doomed to face more such attacks and react to them rather than prevent them.

God bless us.

No. We won't. We are too wise to pass a PATRIOT, because we knew the sufferings we went through.

We also know how corrupt our politicians are and their absolute control over police to the effect a low state minister demands and gets 350 cops to protect her while citizens die on streets and hotels.

What we need to do is to modernize and reorganise the police along lines of US or Japan(better).

Right now politicians OWN the police in every sense(promotion, jobs and even salaries). As you know politicians are selfish and care first about themselves, then their family, then their own constituents, then their party and finally the country.

Cops can't act that way. Hence these kinds of fiascos.

Any PM/President who tries to modernize the police by passing acts that place them on merit basis rather than politician control risks being impeached or removed from power.

So the incentive to modernize is simply not there.

Let's hope the people demand modernization of police instead of succumbing to right-wing nuts here who bray for PATRIOT III.
