bush's future will be going back to crawford and taking sp4 along so sp4 can suck him off daily.
looks like the site 'low lifes' are at it again!
perhaps you want the sucking job.
..I get this kind of juvenile behavior all the time.
Bush, correctly, is leaving the USA with a stellar Atlanic relationship. it will be the next president's to screw up. He's got the EU squeezing Iran,, NATO helping in Afghanistan, 6 party talks getting the N. Koreans in line, Iraq racking up one success after another, and now has America talking about producing their own oil again.
I'm afraid the only stellar thing is the misunderstanding from SP4.Never seen such ignorance of simple facts .There is hardly a european leader yearning for a new president,one that is willing to cooperate .With Bush the tone was unilateralism,those that are not with us are against us and other neocon idiocies.Let us not forget the pinnacle of stupidity when the republicans relabelled french fries into freedom fries because the rest of the world would not acknowledge the lies leading to the invasion of Iraq .The only improvement is now the fact that Bush has finally discovered climate change .However not a single step has been made by him to curb it's effects .It takes a moron like SP4 to twist this meagre result into a Bush victory ,what a disdain for reality.
Tonny from Stalingrad:
I'm afraid the only stellar thing is the misunderstanding from SP4.
sp4 - how so, Professor?
Never seen such ignorance of simple facts .
sp4 - Really? I thought your comment on global warming as an exact science was the gold standard for ignorance, but that was just me...
There is hardly a european leader yearning for a new president,one that is willing to cooperate .
SP4 - after last week, I'd have to debate that Professor! The euros flushed the anti-american leaders i.e. Chirac and Schroeder. So did Canada. The world is going RIGHT Tonny! Tax reform in Ireland is transforming their econmy. Other euro nations want to follow suit. The Dutch are embracing capped cost health care to stop runaway costs! It looks like conservatives in Britain are coming up. Newsflash, Tonny, the continent is going RIGHT...and rightly so...
With Bush the tone was unilateralism,those that are not with us are against us and other neocon idiocies.
sp4 - Au contrare! Zarkosy is cozy and so is Merkel! Both of them are rolling with GW on trade, On Iran, on Atlantic cooperation! I know, Tonny, you must be crying, but once you got rid of the bolsheviks rinning the euro kingpins, there was multilateralism all around!
Let us not forget the pinnacle of stupidity when the republicans relabelled french fries into freedom fries because the rest of the world would not acknowledge the lies leading to the invasion of Iraq .
SP4 - Americans, Tonny, f--king LOVE the french! I do not know a single republican who fasted on french fries>>>
The only improvement is now the fact that Bush has finally discovered climate change .
sp4 - Really? He just got done sinking Kyoto for the europeans, because they will never make the goals, so they could start mouthing new one's and get reelected! God, Tonny, where have youi been?? Bush for global warming???? I have to say, he can certainly fool fools like you!
However not a single step has been made by him to curb it's effects .
sp4 - hydrogen iniative beta testing coming on line in California, one of the first in the world, not that it will help because c02 driven climate change is a myth.
It takes a moron like SP4 to twist this meagre result into a Bush victory ,what a disdain for reality.
SP4 - better go look outside that basement you live in Tonny.
i don't beleive the usa will drill for oil.
what i see is america slowly slipping into bin-ladens hands.
america as we know it will soon be history one way or the other.
June 28 (Bloomberg) -- OPEC President Chakib Khelil predicted that the price of oil will climb to $170 a barrel before the end of the year, citing the dollar's decline and political conflicts.
(SP4's pathetic brown-nosing of the incompetence of the past 8 years is a sorry sight. The world will function far better with a change in direction in the White House, instead of the neocon marionette sitting in the Oval while Cheney pulls the strings. By the way, who is pulling SP4's strings? No one person could be that stupid.
Meanwhile, things that Bush set in motion, we are still stuck with - particularly the current oil price, which will become an economic drag soaking up consumer spending, and the housing mess which will get worse before it gets better. The Fed is flailing around trying to find a fiscal policy that also contains inflation, and right now is showing zero direction.
Kind of like following an SP4 post in terms of zero-direction)

WASHINGTON — Soon after American forces toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003, Gen. Tommy R. Franks surprised senior Army officers by revamping the Baghdad-based military command.
The decision reflected the assumption by General Franks, the top American commander for the Iraq invasion, that the major fighting was over. But according to a new Army history, the move put the military effort in the hands of a short-staffed headquarters led by a newly promoted three-star general, and was made over the objections of the Army’s vice chief of staff.
“The move was sudden and caught most of the senior commanders in Iraq unaware,” states the history, which adds that the staff for the new headquarters was not initially “configured for the types of responsibilities it received.”
Lt. Col. Paul Yingling of the Army ignited a debate when he wrote a magazine article that criticized American generals for failing to prepare a coherent plan to stabilize postwar Iraq.
In 2005, the RAND Corporation submitted a report to the Army, called “Rebuilding Iraq,” that identified problems with virtually every government agency that played a role in planning the postwar phase. After a long delay, the report is scheduled to be made public on Monday.
But the “On Point” report carries the imprimatur of the Army’s Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth. The study is based on 200 interviews conducted by military historians and includes long quotations from active or recently retired officers
