Wanda Sykes said that the only thing Bush the Lesser was good at was disappearing: "He disappeared like the overnight guest who broke your expensive vase."
It's pretty clear BiBi has written off the hostages. The hostages will die, horribly, and BiBi will use that as an excuse to rile up the rest of the world, and wipe Gaza and it's inhabitants off the face of the Earth.
Two things. 1. I saw Bush saying this and realized that "at least he's saner than Trump" (yes I know, low bar). 2. Invading Iraq was on the list of things the Project For a New American Century (from the 1990s) wanted to do to "remake the Middle East." which they acknowledged they'd be unable to do absent a "Pearl Harbor type event."
Very Smart Person and Strategic Genius Ariel Sharon only needed an assassination attempt against as Israeli diplomat to set off his genius plan for solving the Palestinian “problem”. That plan started off with the invasion of Lebanon in 1982, which led to Israel getting bogged down in the infamous Lebanese mud for 2 decades, getting thousands of Israeli soldiers killed or wounded, and setting up Hezbollah (and its mentor, Iran) as the main power in that country and a very real and lethal threat to the north.
I’m beginning to think “right wing” and basic, common sense are plain incompatible.
Credit where credit is due; let us not forgive or forget the Dark Lord Cheney and his pack of brain geniuses in PNAC who were already plotting the seizure of Middle Eastern oilfields when 9/11 gave them their opportunity to ram their whole evil scheme through. Bloody Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan were cofounders, and they are still scurrying around in the undergrowth, no doubt still up to no good.
George W. Bush is a damn war criminal and should be languishing in the dock at the ICC in The Hague and not doing his quasi-comedy act. Him and that ancient piece of evil, Henry Kissinger. The mere existence of a 100 year-old Kissinger is total proof that only the good die young.
Oh, it turns out W is only the second-last person I wanted to hear from. Henry Kissinger had to remind us he is still alive. No, I'm not going to copy what he said or even link to it because.... gah, how can Trump be only the third-last person I wanted to hear from?
Shrub is so very lucky the Mango Menace took over the “Worst POTUS* EVAR” mantle.
He should just crawl back under the porch and go back to licking his balls, or whatever it is he does with his time, which certainly does not include learning anything complex.
It’s a horrible, complicated situation, and I am terribly afraid too many people will have learned nothing from the many mistakes the USA (for example) has made (and continues to make) dealing with, um, “disadvantaged groups” in their midst. They’ll just go back to the emotionally satisfying rahrah war! I am heartsick.
that dry, humorless little "heh heh heh" chuckle of his is something I have not missed a goddamn bit. It was one of his tells, he always brought it out when talking about doing things that he knew, back in his subconscious or whatever, were deeply wrong.
The one good thing I have to say about Shrub is that at least he didn't marry his mother , that horrible gargoyle Barbara, as so many weak men do. Laura always seemed to me a relatively benign, if vapid, creature in amongst that gallery of grotesques
The same (free nat'l healthcare, legal abortion, paid education) can be said about North Korea. Only one (legal abortion) is a moral issue for Christians (and not all of them), not Muslims or Jews. The rest are just seen as normal things government do. Nothing at all to do with democracy or lack thereof.
All I know is that every Israeli I personally know is frustrated by the state of democracy there. Obviously, it's a challenging country to govern, in an unstable region.
Whenever this fucker talks, I hear his Hee-Haw shtick about WMDs and the hundreds of thousands of deaths he caused.
Wanda Sykes said that the only thing Bush the Lesser was good at was disappearing: "He disappeared like the overnight guest who broke your expensive vase."
Too bad he didn't stay gone.
"chuckleheaded dry drunk George W. Bush"
`
I'm not sure about the "dry" part. He even looks like an old drunk in the picture.
I thought Rebecca 86'd comment about this, and I had assumed it included even Gary Legum.
So I won't comment, but I did strike Legum off my Happy Hanukah card list.

Boy, that really worked out well, didn't it? Uuuuugh

Yeah, just like Iran is still on their list.
We've got a really low bar for our 21st century GOP presidents.
I don’t have time for a more nuanced comment than man, he looks like shit.
Are we sure he’s stopped drinking? He really has that “grandpa needs to lay off the sauce” look.
*snerk* Mark Updegrove "hey, where's mark?" "he's up de grove"
neocons gonna neocon. even without Dubyah I had that exact sinking feeling.

Dubya also added, "Netanyahu's wagging the dog ...just like me, heh heh heh heh heh"

Ta, Gary. I did not need to be reminded of the existence of this turd.
Israel is a democracy? Does anyone on earth still believe this?
Yet they have free nat'l healthcare, abortion is legal, and education is paid for. WHY are we giving these socialists billions a year?

YES. Absolutely.
A nation keeping its democracy intact while under a constant threat of war.
All I know is that every Israeli I personally know is frustrated by the state of democracy there. Obviously, it's a challenging country to govern, in an unstable region.
Part theocracy democracy?
