then if ANYTHING happens here in the US, HE gets the credit for it.
So...the question is, is he willing to take the heat if something DOES happen???
Just curious. You give Bush the full blame for September 11th, then, right?
I ain't doin' nothin, ain't saying nothin', no time. "Wife power" frightened me into an uncharacteristic silence. It'll be hours before I make a peep. You fine folks go ahead.
As indispensable as Wikipedia...

In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lions or tigers
Ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog
Sail away with me
Sail away
Sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
-- "Sail Away", Randy Newman
If Obama DOES do thisthen if ANYTHING happens here in the US, HE gets the credit for it.
So...the question is, is he willing to take the heat if something DOES happen???
If he DOES (what, I don't know, since I'm not sure what you're referring to), and ANYTHING (?) happens in the US, well, HE (I'm sure) will get credit. Thus, the question is, apparently, about "heat" if something or other DOES happen.
Gosh. Where we would be without capital letters, terrorism and just generally PARANOIA!

Versus an overall.
bystander - I'm tough, and I've weathered all kinds of student presentations in my life, but I might not be able to keep it together for this one.
Shields up and light pens at the ready!
How's that for a mixed Trekkie/Starwars metaphor? I bet even your most talented student never went there. ;-}
What're you, crazy?
Bush gets full credit for keeping us safe since 9/11!

A much, MUCH better sounding (lossless) version of that Manchester “Inca Roads" (the entire show, in fact) can be found and safely downloaded (if you’re into that type of thing) after registering there.
I can unreservedly recommend he find and listen to a show from Saratoga Performing Arts Center, 09/01/84. It’s famous for it’s sound quality (after a little glitch in the opener). My buddy is the original source for that particular show, which I’ve learned is fairly “famous” among FZ fanatics.
because it took a particular degree of inattention from a whole host of people under him and advising him. That and the Dark Lord and his PNAC minions put the mind control whammy on his pickled chowderhead.
Charlie Wilson and his CIA cronies in their short sighted attempts to maintain the "balance of power" deserve a large portion of the blame as well as Israel's ham handed policies in re: Palestinians, Lebanon, Syria . . .
Plenty of blame to go around. Maybe if we broke out of the mindset that violence (or threats) solves problems rather than creates them (with rare exception) then maybe we'd stop believing in the phony myth of American exceptionalism and treat people not as children who need enlightening but as humans who've been on the blue ball organized into working societies a whole lot longer than us.
Agreed! Moyer's video was the only way I was made aware of the white-masked protesters of Israel's offensive offensive. The torture issue has the benefit(?!? ww) of crossing political lines and that's what one would want to reflect in any march. That and sheer numbers and a smattering of "establishment" types.(IMHO)
Muslim of the United States?
(sorry if this was already offered...)
Cranial Rectalitis to the enth degree....is it terminal?
Tired of hearing Dubya has "saved" us from another major attack. Prove it. Nothing happened so he must be given credit for nothing happening. Prove it. You can't. You can't prove a negative.
But the decider-in-chief is more than happy to take credit for something positive on his watch knowing, in the interests of national security of course, that he doesn't have to prove it, just claim it.
“They said he was in the middle of giving a speech in Philadelphia. I said I didn’t care: ‘I need to talk to him now,’ ” Mr. Olmert continued. “He got off the podium and spoke to me.”
Anybody hear anything about Bush suddenly stopping in the middle of a speech to take a phone call?
You're new(ish) here, right? Great fun isn't it?

Who the hell could tell at what point of a "speech" an incoherent idiot had gotten to at any time during his said "speech"?
You can't prove a negative.
Shows what you know.
I have a magic rock that keeps grizzlies out of my yard here in Boston. I haven't seen a single grizzly since I got it. So it works. QED.
Your snarkometer is malfunctioning. Bam is much better at diagnosing cranial rectalitis than at participating in it. ;-}
this Gitmo detainee problem that is only increasing in urgency and prominence in Affairs La America is beginning to be an engrossing intellectual dilemma. It has all the prospects of becoming the American Dreyfuss Affair. All though by no means entirely analogous, that matter did involve a much derided figure being locked up on an island due to the malfeasance of authority and the case nearly did bring down a republic.
Ooo goody. I do love a seriously difficult intellectual problem that involves morality, ethics, the practice of the law and how it all both shapens and reflects the society from which it arises, don't you?
And what a refreshing change from the Bush era? Now’s the time to get out the thinking caps that have gone unworn and gathering dust for far to long.
I have also noticed something around here. Is it out of ignorance of Kafka or out of knowing him too well and not wanting to use well worn clichés that his name has never been mentioned?
Its a long long time since I read him and I can't remember all the points Kafka may have eluded to but something about this Khalid matter has made something very clear.
"WE" have become the prisoners of the detainees fate!
The developing nature of American society fraughtly hangs in how it now deals with the prisoners it increasingly doesn't want to be holding much longer. But the longer the matter remains unresolved and the longer they are held the more uncomfortable America's own confinement will become.
Were are the Camus's, Where are the Sartres, Where are the Kafkas when you need them most?
Perhaps Emile Zola writing to the French President might offer a clue or two as to how to proceed?J’ Accuse:
"Sir,Would you allow me, grateful as I am for the kind reception you once extended to me, to show my concern about maintaining your well-deserved prestige and to point out that your star which, until now, has shone so brightly, risks being dimmed by the most shameful and indelible of stains?
Unscathed by vile slander, you have won the hearts of all. You are radiant in the patriotic glory of our country's alliance with Russia, you are about to preside over the solemn triumph of our World Fair, the jewel that crowns this great century of labour, truth, and freedom. But what filth this wretched Dreyfus affair has cast on your name — I was about to write 'reign'. A court-martial, under orders, has just dared to acquit a certain Esterhazy, a supreme insult to all truth and justice. And now the image of France is sullied by this filth, and history shall record that it was under your presidency that this crime against society was committed.
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"
