Sad but predictable, whenever anyone posts an example of how poor this President is, the kneejerk response is with some parochial Democrat v Republical domestic issue.

I'm more concerned with the damage he has done to his office and his country's standing in the world, the needless deaths and damage overseas, and his administration's clueless approach to its task.

My wife sent that youtube link to me, and I promptly posted it on the Bush Supporters' thread. (My wife's a much bigger politico than I am, smarty-pants.) So while you are free to imagine I posted it in some calculated way in response to something you did, I did not.

And further, while my post was certainly on-topic, without reading your post I assume it was not.

The thread had been dormant for days, and so I concluded that your post was prompted by mine, following straight on as it did. Silly of me to think Bush supporters might come here for enlightenment.

If you did not read it, you should. It could be the first step in the rehabilitation of you and Mrs T.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has introduced a resolution (H.Res. 847) saying, and I am not making this up, that Christmas and Christians are important. The House is scheduled to vote on this groundbreaking resolution on Tuesday.

"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it."

Go away, Bernie.

Gee, I wonder where the rest of the whack pack is to defend blatham from such a slanderous attack?

Bernie- how do you think Mill defined "stupid". Unlike him I suppose but what do you think. I bet many a barmaid put him through the hoops.

Survey: U.S. Jews are losing interest in Israel

American Jews are losing interest in Israel, according to figures released Tuesday in the American Jewish Committee 2007 Annual Survey of American Jewish Opinion. Figures showed that 69 percent of Jewish Americans agreed with the statement "Caring about Israel is a very important part of my being a Jew" in 2007, compared to 74 percent last year and 79 percent in 2005.

The survey illustrated continued opposition to the war in Iraq by U.S. Jews, although a third recognized that increased military activity known as "the surge" had a positive effect. In 2006, 66 percent agreed with the statement that "Iraq will never become a stable democracy." This year 76 percent maintain this view.

a civilian candy truck tried to merge with a column of our armored vehicles, only to get run over and squashed. The occupants were smashed beyond recognition. Our first sight of death was a man and his wife both ripped open and dismembered, their intestines strewn across shattered boxes of candy bars. The entire platoon hadn't eaten for twenty-four hours. We stopped, and as we stood guard around the wreckage, we grew increasingly hungry. Finally, I stole a few nibbles from one of the cleaner candy bars. Others wiped away the gore and fuel from the wrappers and joined me.

This incident is notable mainly for the fact that the platoon stopped; from the many accounts I have read of the Iraq war, when a US convoy runs over a car, it usually just keeps going.
