The slogan for 2002-2003 America following the attacks was basically “If you’re not with Bush then you must be with terrorists!, yee-haw!” But Im threw “hyjacking” the thread.

Ditto has hit pretty much —- seriously —- almost every one of the most vacuous “thoughts” I’ve heard expressed from a certain segment of the left in the US the past few years.

It’s one thing to hear one of them thrown out when someone is feeling cornered on a topic or like their losing the discussion. But to have them all slapped down on the same plate — its fairly impressive…..from the “blowjobs” defense of perjury to “we should have invaded North Korea!!” — impressive…

I did honestly laugh my ass out with this one — “It practically became forbidden to say anything bad about his administration following the 9/11 attacks.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!! It was almost forbidden to say something bad about Bush post-9/11!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

And then to close with the “I was a life-long ~~(Christian)~~ Republican until….” is a nice finishing touch.

Ya know….the election is over….

….It’s a little early to be astroturfing for the congressional elections in 2010….

I will not stand up for Saddam,

You just did. BTW, regime change in Iraq became US policy in OCT 1998 when President Clinton signed the Iraqi Liberation Act into law.

I believe onefreekorea makes this the crux of the matter:

China neither means us well nor shares our interests in the region. It wonâ€™t participate in a spirit of cooperation or collegiality, and it will probably do its utmost to frustrate the goal of a unified and democratic Korea. But China doesnâ€™t want war any more than we do, which is why I hope that our diplomats are working on some quiet understandings with the Chinese about whose forces will enter Korea in the event of internecine fighting or outright collapse.

This calls for a US administration with credibility on the issue of the use of force. A confrontation with China on some level is inevitable – exhibit A: the Korean War 1950-1953. Whatever the mature plans are for the regional cooperation between the six parties, they are largely unknown. By God you know that whole world knew Harry S. Truman was no one to fool around with.

Ditto, You’re hijacking the thread off topic. I could not be less interested in the argument.

And as far as removing Saddam Hussein, our current president was foaming at the mouth for the oppurtunity to do so even before 9/11. He said that he would do anything to take down the man and finish his daddy’s job. I will not stand up for Saddam, however waisting all our resources on one tyrant in a world full of them was just asinine IMO. The fact that KJI was waving his WMD’s in our faces and literally boasting about it while we choose to invade Iraq instead is beyond words. But when you are close friends to the country in which the terrorists were born and bred “Saudi Arabia”, they are off limits in terms of retaliation. The scary thing is how Americans were soo willing to throw away their rights to dear leader Bush after the attacks. It practically became forbidden to say anything bad about his administration following the 9/11 attacks.He was basically given the greenlight to do anything he wanted in terms of spending and policy making. I supported Bush until I realized he was a dangerous incompetent, the claim of being on a holy crusade spronsored by God was the turning point.

“While arguing for Bushâ€™s impeachment is a sure sign of a vacuous thinker, thereâ€™s no defending his administration as â€œthe days of balls administration,â€ whatever that means.”

Joshua as far as the vacuous thinker spat you just gave, I beg you to see how lying about a blowjob is call for impeachment versus invading the wrong country and spending a record budget away without restraint.

Like us or not, Bush showed incredible audacity and initiative going into Afghanistan and Iraq and deposing tyrannical, terrorist supporting governments. Whether you agree with his foreign policy or not, a Bush threat to use force has ultimate credibility.

I’d like to know the dates in which the world showed faith in US leadership? Give me a year or two? Something post about 1950….

I think we got some kudos in 1945. Probably 1946. Not so sure after that. Doubt it before that.

“I donâ€™t see any of them leading anything. I see â€œthe worldâ€ as comprised of followers, ankle biters, and enemies. Iâ€™ve traveled in dozens of countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the experience has greatly narrowed my mind. Iâ€™ve seen â€œthe worldâ€ for its prejudice, narrow-mindedness, and shallowness and have concluded that its collective opinion, as interpreted by a lot of disgruntled intellectuals and agenda-driven journalists, is of dubious value. ”

That about sums it up.
