The fellow was correct, and you jumped in and said the Friday dump thing was not going to work as if you had a crystal ball. I mean hell, you and kitty both have no balls at all, so we know you don't have one of crystal.

He is speculating that the Friday dump will work; you made out like you had special knowledge.

Kitt on the other hand, just crawls out from under something every once in a while to add ... Horace only knows. Hell, he thinks the USA did not invade Afghanistan!

Shorter version of Donnpirie: Glenn, you're shrill.

True Dat'

The quantity of hope bestowed by the electorate upon any given candidate is in direct proportion to the sheer emptiness of the suit that they vote for to rule them.

True Dat'

I didn't say I agreed with your analysis, which I don't. That's just how I interpreted it. Looks like I was right.

Don't care if you agree - you summed it up perfectly for me. Thanks, DP

We're going to see what he's made of and whether he is different than Alberto Gonzales.

Glenn:

Reading about McNamara's death I saw that he allegedly said if we lost the war with Japan we would have been on trial for our war crimes for the fire bombings of Tokyo whose purpose was the killing of the Japanese civilians not to mention the A bombs.

Now I see we let the Northern Alliance, our allies, slaughter an estimated 2,000 prisoners who had surrendered. Sort of like what happened when the Serbs killed the people during the war there. We demanded the Serbs be held accountable, but not our own friend who do the same thing. So it is not just that we make ourselves an exception, we also include our friends.

I got thinking. If we were allied with Germany in WWII and had defeated the other nations, would we be denying that the Holocaust existed and pooh poohing people who complained about it because it might upset Hitler?

Or, had the Obama approach been taken after we defeated the Nazis, would we be saying we don't want to look at the crimes committed by the Nazis because that would be looking back and might upset some people.

One of the main reasons I voted for Obama was I expected that the evils of the Bush administration would be stopped. I had no doubt McCain would not do anything to investigate them. I expected Obama would because he said he would. I wanted them disclosed so that we could get our country back on a decent footing. Even though it seems under Bush we did many unthinkable things, that Obama is condoning them is also unthinkable. Often the cover up is worse than the crime.

Erichael Holdcasey

Since it's my post started such a controversy, I think many people are missing my larger point. Yes it's on the front page of the NY Times, I never claimed it wasn't. I said it was buried in my local paper. My larger point is that this story will have no shelf-life. It's going to be completely forgotten by Monday. The news cycle will have moved on. The only thing that will keep it in the news, is if Congress decides to investigate. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Headline from NYT article. Link @ Sig.

In other news, Eric Holder is "pondering" whether to start investigations or not on Bush's crimes. He better fuckin' do more than "ponder"...

my larger point

-- Conservativeslayer

I understood 'your larger point', and it appeared to me that Omooex did also. That's my take. It was all no big deal.

Trust me, I'm doing you a big favor by ignoring your last post.

Kitt on the other hand, just crawls out from under something every once in a while to add ... Horace only knows. Hell, he thinks the USA did not invade Afghanistan!

What Kitt as well? Is mad cow ondelette disease, or "Bovine Spongy Form Totalbolloxitis" to give it its correct name spreading to other members of the herd then?

Really? Glenn shrill?

A left-wing version of Rush?

Your powers of perception and analysis defy description, so I won't bother.

My personal take:

1) They have no choice but to ask for prosecution of General Dostum on this. Otherwise they'd have trouble justifying the ICT-Y (International Criminal Tribunal-Yugoslavia) which takes as evidence some of the same type of mass graves. This guy is headed for the Hague.

2) There is still a shoe to drop on this with respect to the U.S. IMHO. John Walker Lindh is on record saying he was tortured in a container that was packed with prisoners and fired on -- also at Mazar-e-Sharif. I fail to believe that General Dostum did all this without any knowledge of Americans, or even, for that matter, without any Americans present. Who came up with the container usage first? As far as I know, PHR has not made such an allegation, but I think at some point, it will surface.

3) (Don't know whether anyone has already mentioned this), PHR could use your support, if you have any donation dollars available. They lost a lot of backing since the downturn, and they do a lot of excellent work.

"4) Finally, your rhetoric is way over blown all of the time. In my mind it tends to make you seem like an individual screaming at his computer and, in light of the fact that you appear to be doing nothing actively about your concerns other than pontificating, you expose your self to being considered something of a second rate left wing Rush Limbaugh. Other than that, I enjoy your blog and look forward to your response."-- Donnpirie

You sound like fuckin' Dom Irrera- "Hey asshole, your sista looks like a slutty tramp that services hobo's for a quarter... but I mean that in a good way".

WTF!

what is it we are left with, when our elected and appointed officials, the 545 as some are saying, no longer operate within the framework of our Constitution?

Is voting them out enough? Would it even work? Or is the line of lackeys unending, like the unending population of terrorists our eminently astute leaders think we can kill our way through?

When the system is broke, do you change the people or the system?

Signed, no longer hoping, just barely getting by putting on blinders
