No, what the NPR report *actually* said was "Now here's something you can do. This weekend go to AEI's website, aei.org. Read their Iraq proposal carefully and then next week when the President comes out to announce his new Iraq strategy compare and contrast, and don't be surprised if they look a lot alike." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6730831 Oh, it will require that you listen to NPR, hope your ear doesn't fall off!! ;-) > So if > NPR said that there is now world peace, the economy is 100% and there is no > such thing as global warming, it is true? No, but it is far more likely to be true than if one hears it on Limbaugh. > Seriously, read the report that > was posted I did. > and tell me where his name is on it. You're right, Bush's name isn't on the report, but that's not what NPR said. And FWIW, they're probably right about his report mirroring the AEI... > I am not saying they will > not present it to him, they will/have > and I am not saying that this report was done without > his knowledge, a good bet. > I am merely saying title the messages correctly, hrmmm... > stop whining > about a President who won both the popular vote and the Electoral vote and > get on with it. Old saw... strawman. Are we supposed to step up an agree with the man when we don't, just to show we're good Americans? Wear our smirk with pride? What-the-fuck-ever. >Besides, what is wrong with reviewing your strategy in war? Nothing at all, WTF didn't they review earlier? WTF didn't they do this thing right in the first place and win the fight on the ground in Afghanistan, were the terrorists ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE for 9/11 are (or were). > There is a saying in the military - A battle plan is good until the first > round is shot, then all hell breaks loose.

No, and *effective* leader will "realize that and revise that plan." > This is not a typical linear > war, it is a three dimensional battlefield that is constantly evolving, and > our war plan has to evolve with it or we will lose. your point then? > I just pray this is over > before the next election and the US makes a huge mistake in voting a liberal > as President.

Lax on defense Liberals that they were... eh? > Say goodbye to national security and the strength of the US > military, because like Clinton they will demoralize our military and turn it > in to another hollow military like it was in the 70's and the 90's. In the 70s under Nixon and Ford? Both Republicans. 90s under Bush the first? or Clinton? Or was it Congress' fault when the sitting President was Republican and the President's fault when he's a Dem? Congress leading the way in the case of a successful War and a Democrat President? > Well, gotta go put on my uniform and do some good old Army training this > weekend. Have fun. Put my own uniform away years ago. Or was that _not_ meant as a veiled stab? Lots of people opposed to this war served in the military. And just you remember, the administration's primary architects of this war (Cheney and Rumsfeld-the true chicken hawks) DID NOT serve in the military at all, deferments both. > You all have a great weekend and I look forward to more interesting > and lively.
