clipper's remarks: Of course it's hard to draw any kind of comparisons when speaking about the war in Afghanistan, because George W. Bush knew how to act as Commander In Chief when it came to making decisions about what his hand-picked generals were requesting. Barack Obama on the other hand doesn't know how to act as Commander In Chief when it comes to commanding the military.

There is no way to forget the daily shellacking that George W. Bush took during his entire presidency. On some days and on some issues it could get pretty horrific. The far-left fringe were relentless in their attacks and the media just fell right in line with them....and anyone was just plain dumb if they didn't believe what they were saying. George W. Bush couldn't smile without there being an ulterior motive behind it. Bush was so many things, from dumb and lazy, to a liar and conniver and even believed to be a criminal at times. No one would dream of calling Obama any kind of name....except maybe socialist. Which in some ci

Well....so what if Bush had done that?

Imagine the outrage coming from the left if Bush had fallen so short of the targeted number of H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine dosages....like by 85 million dosages short. Imagine the outrage if Bush had condoned then House Speaker Dennis Hastert conducting closed door meetings with Republican leaders on nationalized health care, or anything for that matter, and didn't include Democrats or the American public in on the proceedings in those meetings.

We know absolutely no one in Bush family circles and have never met former President George W. Bush or his wife Laura.

If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of “Dubya” nearly every day…parroting the same comedic bits we heard in our Democrat circles, where Bush is still, to this day, lampooned as a chimp, a bumbling idiot, and a poor, clumsy public speaker.

Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000…and how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.

We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did, and would have set that right tone of leadership in the wake of that disaster. President Gore, President Perot, President Nader, you name it. ANYONE, we assumed, would have filled that role perfectly.

On Iraq, the new president has faithfully followed the policy of George W. Bush, and now Iraq threatens breakdown.

Obama ran on a promise to fight the “right war” in Afghanistan. This policy rests upon the monumental assumption that victory can be found in a military campaign meant to alter the character of Central Asian political and religious society so as to remake it in the American image—what Condoleezza Rice defined a year ago as the Bush administration’s policy, and what is now apparently the Obama policy.

In the time-honored bureaucratic fashion, the president’s military advisers have offered him three troop options—one impossibly high, one suicidally small, and one, the one they actually want, in between, and “just right.”(In poker games, this is known as “forcing” the card onto the patsy.) The troops are already on the move. It will be some time before we see them again.

Fort Hood 'ticking timebomb' shooter: the George W Bush connection

Texas - (Freudian Flip): The Fort Hood shrink was on the mental health certification panel that passed Bush's 1994 Texas gubernatorial Pioneer funraisers as 'clinically sane', according to reports.

Cocaine, organised crime and mental retardation....

And Pentagon Bonesmen colleagues - who erased George W Bush's criminal records - may have also helped fake Major 'Abu Nidal' Malik Hasan's psychiatric qualifications.

This week FBI agents probing the Major's background will lay bare Yale University's Skull 'N' Bones Society alumni records.

These are believed to show Bonesmen were involved in eradicating all references to cocaine, organised crime and mental retardation from Bush's CV.

Also in the FBI frame is First Earth Battalion founder and Men Who Stare At Goats nutter General Albert Stubblebine III.

George W. Bush visits Fort Hood

Throughout America, flags, at half-staff, dangle in the fall breeze to serve as a reminder of the 12 soldiers lives lost at Fort Hood last Thursday. Former President George W. Bush and Mrs. Bush made a private trip to Darnell Medical Center at Fort Hood to visit with the families who lost loved ones in the tragedy.

“The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit.” Bush has a ranch about 30 miles from Fort Hood Military Base in Texas. He and Mrs. Bush are said to have spent one to two hours with the mourning families.

Deliberate ignorance:

The British press was out front (HT Hot Air) in telling the world that the perpetrator of the Fort Hood attack “worshiped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a ’spiritual adviser’ to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.” That the attack was jihad-inspired is not open to real dispute.

Meanwhile, the PC-addled American press does all it can to minimize the enormity (HT Mark Finkelstein at NewsBusters) of what occurred at Fort Hood and makes excuses for the perpetrator, even to the point of claiming that he might (even though he never experienced

Presence:

In response to what is probably the worst attack on American soldiers on American soil since the end of the 19th century (Hawaii was not yet a state when Pearl Harbor was attacked), our president …. made a statement that came off as perfunctory, and stayed in Washington for three days. He will finally visit Fort Hood on Tuesday.

In response to what is probably the worst attack on American soldiers on American soil since the end of the 19th century, our previous president …. visited the wounded (HT Neptunus Lex) and “thanked Fort Hood’s military leaders and hospital staff for the ‘amazing care they are providing.’”

Remembrance:

To recall the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, our president …. won’t go to remember it. Meanwhile, Newsweek told readers that “Five American presidents delivered addresses at the Berlin Wall,” and includes Obama in a montage with

AN AMERICAN QUEST

Saturday, November 7, 2009

CLASS AND GRACE, THEN YOU HAVE BARNEY FRANK.

The soulless George Bush and his wife Laura, traveled in secret to Ft. Hood to console the wounded, and the families of the murdered. They did this with no fanfare, this was the definition of class and grace, the actions of a true Patriot. Thank you President Bush and Laura for having heart felt empathy for the families that were the victims of this tragedy. It was a touching moment when President Obama with President Bush met with the,,,,,,oh darn wait Obama was not there wow I thought for sure he would go to express his sorrow and support, I guess he was to busy with his best buds Pelosi and Reid. They all got together to give the American people the single finger salute and assured us the health care bill will pass the house come hell or high water.

The leader of the free world, what an embarrassment to all the Presidents before him.

Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent "considerable time" consoling those who were wounded in Thursday's shooting spree, Fox News has learned.

The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.

The couple was described as "deeply concerned" about military families on Fort Hood after Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire on soldiers and civilians, killing 13 and wounding 38.

Former UK Ambassador: CIA Sent People to be ‘Raped with Broken Bottles’

clipper's remarks: Murray alleged that in the late 1990s the Uzbek ambassador to the US met with then-Texas Governor George W. Bush to discuss a pipeline for the region, and out of that meeting came agreements that would see Texas-based Enron gain the rights to Uzbekistan's natural gas deposits, while oil company Unocal worked on developing the Trans-Afghanistan pipeline.

"The consultant who was organizing this for Unocal was a certain Mr. Karzai, who is now president of Afghanistan," Murray noted.

"There are designs of this pipeline, and if you look at the deployment of US forces in Afghanistan, as against other NATO country forces in Afghanistan, you'll see that undoubtedly the US forces are positioned to guard the pipeline route. It's what it's about. It's about money, it's about oil, it's not about democracy."

The CIA relied on intelligence based on torture in prisons in Uzbekistan, a place where widespread torture practices include raping suspects with broken bottles and boiling them alive

, says a former British ambassador to the central Asian country.

Craig Murray

said the CIA not only relied on confessions gleaned through extreme torture, it sent terror war suspects to Uzbekistan as part of its extraordinary rendition program.

"I'm talking of people being raped with broken bottles," he said at a lecture late last month that was re-broadcast by the Real News Network. "I'm talking of people having their children tortured in front of them until they sign a confession. I'm talking of people being boiled alive. And the intelligence from these torture sessions was being received by the CIA, and was being passed on."

Murray asserts that the primary motivation for US and British military involvement in central Asia has to do with large natural gas deposits

Pro-Democracy Iranians to Obama: ‘You’re with Them or You’re with Us’

After President George W. Bush employed the words, "You’re either with us, or you’re with the terrorists," addressing a joint session of Congress in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks – as the President prepared for the impending war in Afghanistan – liberals eventually treated those words with consternation as if the blunt declaration reflected poorly on America. But pro-democracy activists in Iran seem to like a similar message, as a group of protesters in Iran called on President Barack Obama to support their cause, chanting, "Obama, Obama, either you’re with them or you’re with us!"

Uniquely among the broadcast network evening newscasts, NBC Nightly News correspondent Ali Arouzi – stationed in Tehran – showed a clip of anti-government demonstrators chanting their message to President Obama, as he translated their words into English. During a report that focused mainly on

US army bases will appear on the Black Sea Coast – in Bulgaria and Romania.

The authorities of the two nations expect that the US military men will settle there for a long time.

It is not ruled out that elements of the US missile defense system may eventually appear in Eastern Europe. US officials say that the appearance of army bases in Bulgaria and Romania strictly corresponds to the plans of the US administration to relocate troops in foreign countries (George W. Bush announced the plans in 2004).

Konstantin Sivkov, told Pravda.Ru that the appearance of new army bases in Bulgaria and Romania would pose a threat to Russian interests.

As a result, Russia will find itself trapped.

Why does the USA need these two bases on the Black Sea? To struggle against terrorism?

“Washington is also interested in the energy sources of the Caspian Sea. The bases will probably be established in Romania and Bulgaria to secure the transportation of the Caspian oil and gas,” the expert concluded.

Italian Court Delivers Damning Verdict on CIA Renditions

A court in Milan has delivered its verdict in the spectacular trial of several CIA agents involved in the 2003 kidnapping of the Islamist Abu Omar. Some 23 American agents received prison terms after being found guilty in absentia. The court's decision is a condemnation of the anti-terror policies of George W. Bush.

In the world's first trial involving the CIA's "extraordinary renditions" program since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a court in the Italian city of Milan delivered a clear verdict. A total of 23 US agents were convicted in abstentia and sentenced to prison terms over their role in the 2003 kidnapping of the Islamist Abu Omar.

Twenty-two of the Americans were given five year terms while the former Milan CIA station chief Robert Lady was sentenced to eight years in prison. Three US citizens were acquitted, with reference to their diplomatic immunity.

Clinton-Bush 'Debate' Called Off

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 3:28 PM

There won't be a "death match" between former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush after all.

The New York Post reports that the event, originally scheduled for Feb. 25 at Radio City Music Hall, has been canceled because it was being touted as "death match faceoff."

"This event ... was supposed to be a discussion between the two former presidents, and has been canceled because it was not being billed as such by an overeager promoter," Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna told the Post. He said the event was actually intended to be a moderated panel discussion rather than a debate, as part of a series pairing liberal and conservative thinkers called "Minds That Move The World."
