It's ALL Bush's FaultView Messages“Two-thirds of world's resources 'used up' Tim Radford, science editor Wednesday March 30, 2005 The Guardian The human race is living beyond its means. A report backed by 1,360 scientists from 95 countries - some of them world leaders in their fields - today warns that the almost two-thirds of the natural machinery that supports life on Earth is being degraded by human pressure. The study contains what its authors call "a stark warning" for the entire world. The wetlands, forests, savannahs, estuaries, coastal fisheries and other habitats that recycle air, water and nutrients for all living creatures are being irretrievably damaged. In effect, one species is now a hazard to the other 10 million or so on the planet, and to itself. "Human activity is putting such a strain on the natural functions of Earth that the ability of the planet's ecosystems to sustain future generations can no longer be taken for granted," it says. http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1447863,00.html ... It's ALL Bush's Fault! ...” 9:35:23 AM 3/30/05 “Blame Bush? I'm ok with that!” 9:49:04 AM 3/30/05 “I think they call that a "Straw Man Argument." ;op” 9:58:25 AM 3/30/05 It's not ALL Bubya's fault ... “ ”10:02:54 AM 3/30/05 “Nothing that a good volcano, earthquake, typhoon or hurricane can't handle. You can't fool Mother Nature!” 10:04:23 AM 3/30/05 “I'd say it's all your fault, and your fault and my fault, and her fault and his fault and their fault...” 10:05:52 AM 3/30/05 “Sass, you can't have a voice of reason here..whats wrong with you =)” 10:07:48 AM 3/30/05 7:59:40 AM 8/16/07 “The premise of the thread title is laughable. That dufus can't find his ass with both hands.” 8:02:45 AM 8/16/07 “In his interview with Rush Limbaugh this afternoon, Karl Rove claimed that the people criticizing Bush are “sort of elite, effete snobs who can’t hold a candle to this guy. What they don’t like about him is that he is common sense, that he is Middle America.” Limbaugh suggest that Bush critics are frustrated the the President “outsmarts ‘em.” (editorial comment: BWAHAHAHAHAHA!) Rove argued Bush is far more intelligent than people give him credit for, and is “one of the best-read people I’ve ever met” whose “passion is history.” it was on the radio, so no one knows for sure if he said that with a straight face” 8:05:02 AM 8/16/07 “A lot of people who have actually met the President have commented that he is very intelligent, and comes off nothing like he does in public appearances. I agree with them.” 8:07:42 AM 8/16/07 “Exactly, Tilt, that's why Clinton is at least twice as smart as Bush. He found lots of ass with both hands. Just had to say it:)” 8:09:35 AM 8/16/07 “poor Turd Blossom. Sounds like GWB got further in My Pet Goat than he did. so "Middle Americans” are fake Texans who grew up as rich New Englanders and deserted the National Guard. Bush has such a passion for history he didn’t even know there were different Muslim sects. Rove categorizes Bush’s critics as "ELITE"??? "This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elites; I call you my base." – GWB, Oct 20, 2000, speaking at an $800-a-plate fundraiser. O RLY?” 8:19:09 AM 8/16/07 “LOL @ NF Consider the audience, HB ---- Limbaugh? Bush and Rove have certainly kept the folks at Arlington busy.” 8:24:13 AM 8/16/07 ““A lot of people who have actually met the President have commented that he is very intelligent, and comes off nothing like he does in public appearances. I agree with them.” Sarge 8:07:42 AM 8/16/07 a) So you think he comes across as being dumb? b) We're misunderestimating him, obviously.” 8:28:16 AM 8/16/07 “y2 a) Yes, I often do think that. b) obviously” 8:31:10 AM 8/16/07 “crazy how Rove thinks 74% of America is "elite, effete snobs", eh?” 8:37:17 AM 8/16/07 “It's a line that Rove has to take - there's nothing much else he can say. Bush's biggest success is being a good campaigner, and that's in large part due to Rove. The tactic seemed to be to keep Bush on a simple message, and repeat repeat repeat. While this is going on find a weak spot in a political opponent, truthful or not, and get others to attack attack attack. Rove did it in the race for Texas Governor, the Republican primaries and in both campaigns. Where Bush has fallen down is policy. Whatever the merits of the policy the only major policy success forced through is the tax cuts. His main foreign policy initiative has been a significant failure and stymied any other foreign policy progress. He's also managed to do absolutely nothing in his second term, and given new meaning to the term 'lame duck'. I personally think he's had enough and can't wait to end his term.” 8:45:51 AM 8/16/07 “surprise surprise - Your insight has evolved so much over the years. Bush sucks. (repeat)” 8:48:07 AM 8/16/07 “Well enlighten me Sarge - what have been the successes of his administration?” 8:54:05 AM 8/16/07 “Give 'em twenty years and they'll try to blame Bush's abject failure on the press --- just like the #&%!$ they try to pull with Viet Nam today. "Pull Out? Hell! Leave it in there and Git the job done!" -George Carlin” 8:55:16 AM 8/16/07 “What difference does it make, he's the designated driver and have the keys to the bus, We bozos just sit back and wait for the bridge to fall.” 8:55:55 AM 8/16/07 “Come on Sarge - enough with the hate-filled attacks on liberals - put forward a constructive case for the achievements of this administration.” 8:57:28 AM 8/16/07 “y2 - Any answer I give you'll just disagree with, so what's the point?” 8:58:25 AM 8/16/07 “So why are you posting here at all then - you want everyone to agree with you? Maybe you should reconsider your retirement.” 9:00:17 AM 8/16/07 “I said "Any answer I give you'll just disagree with" - not "everybody will disagree with. The point is you are extremely argumentative and would rather argue than debate. You don't understand the difference, and it's not worth my time getting into an argument with you. Your last post demonstrates that nicely. You are all about personal attacks versus debate. Either you are a masterful debator, or you're all about personal attacks. Accept whichever reality you want. I really don't care.” 9:05:25 AM 8/16/07 “I'm as liberal as Barry Goldwater or Ron Paul and he and the twins still call me a libby, because ,I like BG or RP, want nothing to do with this 'Spend money and destroy the military all in one motion war'.” 9:08:27 AM 8/16/07 “I do understand the difference Sarge - I and find it slightly amazing that you, a person who has started an argument with virtually everyone on this site, can actually say this. Still, self-awareness never was one of your strong points I guess. What now - you'll accuse me of making this about you? Oh, you already have - no one has heard that before huh? I guess I'll go back to putting you on ignore - like you were before the last voluntary exile. last edited: 8/16/07 9:19:47 AM” 9:17:34 AM 8/16/07 from the world of y2 ..... ““So why are you posting here at all then - you want everyone to agree with you?

No really we went from 93 to 9/11 getting hit time and again (where civilians who never took the oath to defend the Constitution died)during the Slick Willie era and saw ZIP ZERO NADA in response. yeah heroic men and women in the Military are being killed and injured....sadly its one of the downsides of the job. But would you rather have them hitting Joe and Jane Smith in mainstreet USA or going after the people trained to kill them? I have brought up the simple economic destruction that came as a result of 9/11 not to count the loss of freedom (Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service comes to mind) the general crap we have had to put up with etc. Imagine if Bush had dealt with these terrorists like say Slick. One morning we are going about our daily activities and the news breaks in with a major attack in say a MAJOR city with nonexistent chem or bio weapons. What would THAT cost?” 11:46:40 AM 8/16/07 “Still, they came here because we were there. One time is all needed, they knew we would over react. OBL surely knew the PNAC rules. Pearl harbor type event?????” 11:55:17 AM 8/16/07 “uncliff, have you ever heard OBL speak in the early days? He clearly doesn't like our lifestyle and is afraid of western influence. There is no question.” 11:56:13 AM 8/16/07 “We are a bully, arrogant knowitall and should have nothing to do with him. As long as the purpose of this country is to rule the world with our lifestyle and our mistaken ethics, morals and gross consumerism none of these people and many in the US will not like us. As in all different cultures -none is right and none wrong - just different. Compromise, as you should know is not our strongest trait.” 12:11:21 PM 8/16/07 “Wow, I hope you're just kidding. Stovie? Is that your new troll dude? Come on man! Fess up.” 12:20:31 PM 8/16/07 “It's not Bush's fault. It's Michael Moor's fault for not catching her.” 12:22:39 PM 8/16/07 “hows that hunt for bin laden going? bout the same as the hunt for WMD?” 12:42:51 PM 8/16/07 “Uncliff when Slick underarmed the Rangers and got them chopped up in Somalia that is when UBL made the comment we could not take casualties. They came here becuase WE ARE NOT MUSLIM in their mind. Getting back to the original subject. I don't know how many people here have had to deal with a family member who is watching a loved one die. I really cannot tell you what it is like but I have had to be on calls with spouses who are terminal and their surviving spouse is lost....GOD I feel for this guy.” 12:53:38 PM 8/16/07 “no mention of REAGAN getting all those Marines blown up in beirut?” 12:55:50 PM 8/16/07 “That was Carter's fault” 12:58:27 PM 8/16/07 “LOL” 1:01:43 PM 8/16/07 “XL - I think that's a valid point. I think the borders could be more secure, and I'm not sure the invasion of Iraq has improve security. I think any President would have worked to secure a more secure homeland. I'm not even too sure AQ is trying too hard to hit the US at the moment as they are all about weakening resolve in a 'war' or attriction (Iraq). A significant terror attack on the US would be counter productive for them at the moment, as it would re-ignite domestic resolve for overseas intervention. I think AQ will look for some sort of victory in Iraq before it turns to the US.” 1:34:56 PM 8/16/07 “As in all different cultures -none is right and none wrong - just different. - uncliff LOL - childish” 1:47:25 PM 8/16/07 “A significant terror attack on the US would be counter productive for them at the moment, as it would re-ignite domestic resolve for overseas intervention. - y2 Really? I'm pretty sure the loony left here would blame Bush for invading Iraq and forcing those poor innocent last edited: 8/16/07 1:51:01 PM” 1:50:12 PM 8/16/07 “Idiots think others are wrong and they are always right , you 've made my childish point, young man , I think man would apply.” 1:55:10 PM 8/16/07 “Y2...so the threatened Ft Dix attack was a fluke? Sorry but they are trying but right now I think they estimate we have knocked out a large percentage of their leadership. Granted that does not mean they are disarmed, but it is like the killing of the Architect of Japan's rise (Adm. Yamamoto) in 1943. It did not end their danger but it limited their ability to respond. IN Italy the 36th Inf Div lost almost 2/3rds of their men in the Rapido River battle. In 1983 General Mark Clark would explain to me that one of the reasons for the battle was to make the Germans commit more troops to that battle and relieve pressure on the troops invading France.” 2:09:30 PM 8/16/07 “Uncliff, Don't try to impose your ethics and lifestyle on all of us.” 2:25:10 PM 8/16/07 “Why, I'm the only one that nose all the secrets to magic BS machine.no, I'm tired from this market. I'm too old to have to do what I've done this week and on top of that my glasses have fallen apart. last edited: 8/16/07 2:35:55 PM” 2:31:07 PM 8/16/07 “Bush must be smart, somehow he got the people of this country to vote for him twice-we are the dumb ones.” 5:55:30 PM 8/16/07 “Finger....the truth is no one worthwhile ran. Face it as milk toast as Bush was in the elections...I am thinking the Dems could have run someone better than Gore and Kerry...JEEZE. Uncliff the markets have been doing this crap every August -Sept since I have been following them. And finally the borders could not be permenantly SEALED...hell even Prisons cannot be sealed. The real sad fact is if we want a secure country WE are going to have to make it to where WE the people can ensure our own safety.” 6:48:52 AM 8/17/07 “Border security is the governments job.” 6:54:55 AM 8/17/07
