No, I'm just looking at the way he led us into war with Iraq and I see him doing the same thing with Iran. He's going to have a more difficult time with Iran because he lost a lot of his credibility over the WMD issue, not to mentioned his incompetence in handling Iraq.

His administration is split over this issue. Cheney, Israel and the hawks want to attack Iran. The doves fear the consequences, especially after see the debacle in Iraq.

We'll have to wait and see who prevails. Meantime the elections are coming up and Rove is trying to get the publics mind off of Iraq. That's why the homosexual issue is now in Congress. Going to be interesting to see if the Republicans can put blinders on the public and make them look the way they want them to.



When did the country of Israel become part of the admionistration?

I must have missed the memo or the constitutional amendment that said another country could decide our policies.

So what constitutional amendment made the country of Israel part of the US administration?

I don't know whether he's a psychopath, but for sure, the guy's not very bright. Could he have an undiagnosed brain tumor?

Mr. Miller---You may think he isn't very bright but he graduated from Harvard Business School and Yale University. He also has registered a SAT verbal score which is 60 points higher than the Rhodes Scholar and former Senator Bill Bradley.

Mysteryman is indeed correct. Israel is not one of the states of the United States and, as such, cannot be as Mysteryman says-"An official part of the US Administration">

Mr. Miller makes a point, undocumented, which has been repeated by others on these threads.

However, the Presidential Historian, Fred I. Greenstein, in his book--"The Presidential Difference" gives a different view:

PP> 187-188

quote:

"There can be no doubt about Clinton's impressive intelligence...but Clinton fits the description of the lawyer who masters issues with the speed of oil covering water, but sometimes does so at the same depth...He is likely to be remembered as a politically talented underachiever whose White House experience provides a reminder that in the absence of emotional soundness, the American Presidency is a problematic instrument of democratic governance"

Greenfield is saying, of course, that Emotional Intelligence is a sine qua non for anyone in the Presidency and that Bill Clinton had very little of it.

MM's comment makes no sense relative to the above quote. So why doesn't Israel go ahead and attack Iran, if that's what they want to do?

I am very much afraid, Mr. Miller, that I missed the statement by the Israelis saying that they wish to attack Iran. Do you have a link or a source in which a leading Israeli official states that they wish to attack Iran--pre-emptively--that is!

I did, Sir, and can find no quote attributed to any Israeli Official in the Government which states specifically that they wish to pre-emptively attack Iran.

Did I miss something?

You didnt quote the whole statement.
Here is what Xingu actually wrote...

So I repeat the question...
When did Israel become part of the US administration?

Two different sentences separated by a period.

Are you saying the administration is not split?

Are you saying Cheney, Israel, and the hawks do not wish to attack Iran?

Are you saying the doves are not concerned by the example of Iraq?

What exactly is your beef? As a Bush supporter you must have gotten the memo that two statements cannot be combined to create a greater meaning, or you would know that Bush based the war in Iraq on terrorism.

Well, I'll put it another way. Mr. DrewDad,sir- would you please be so good as to quote an Israeli Officeholder who has urged a pre-emptive strike on Iran.

PS.Sir- I never play or have played the game of "marbles".
