Former Texas Rangers owner George W. Bush was so upset by the outcome of the 2010 World Series that he retreated to a dark library somewhere and poured his feelings into a huge cri de coeur titled Decision Points . It also includes stuff about his time as President of the United States. You’ve already heard about the
"My Pet Dork" "Bush's Other Dick" "Hee Hee, I Look Like Florida" "Doin' the Thinkin' : My Life in the Bush White House"
So this is how world leaders talk and do their decider'ing. Walk around and try to think of something, anything to talk about. Otherwise eventually one of them is going to say something like "why were there so many motherfucking Saudis on the motherfucking 9/11 planes?"
Fortunately though a turkey squawks "AFLAC, AFLAC" and the King says "Allah with stuffing and yams", while the Prez says "Jeebus on the rocks".
It didn't liberate the soldiers who were killed. Nor those who were wounded. Nor the Iraqis killed in combat and by each other in their civil war. The money poured into that Oedipal hole could have saved lives in America, in Africa. A monumental, tragic and pointless failure.
For what we wasted on the war in Iraq, we could have brought clean fresh water to every person on earth, medical care for every woman about to have a baby, and a few other choice items along those same lines (I get my figures from "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," possibly the most depressing book every written).
Had the US of A done those things, would we be beloved around the world? I happen to think so.
Probably at least one of the more than 6,000 U.S. soldiers who died in the Middle East would have written a book and it would have been much better than Bush's.
We know that Gov. Bush used to spend ten or fifteen minutes glancing through the dealth penalty case summaries prepared by Alberto Gonzalez before "deciding" to just fry the guy. Defense attorney slept through the trial? So? The judge and maybe part of the jury were still aware. Weren't they?
The Ranger players are slowly waking up, trying to recall the license plate letters and numbers that were the last thing they saw right before the bumper hit them in the belt buckle.
They aren't too sure what happened - and it will be a long, long time before they figure out how it happened.
They all do know that truck did catch 'em pretty good...
I'm tired of "…I didn’t see how anyone could deny that liberating Iraq advanced the cause of human rights."
They never mention the ever-lovin' COST of removing Saddam Insane. It certainly wasn't worth 4,000 and more American lives, a round 100,000 Iraqi lives, and untold billions and billions of dollars.
We could have accepted the offering of help from nations around the world, surrounded Afghanistan, rooted out the Taliban, made a success out of that with a true international coalition, and then watched as Iraq collapsed from its own weight.
Instead we settled for a half-baked job in Afghanistan, a horrible job in Iraq, and now we have two countries completely FUBAR.
This turned into a clusterfuck of epic proportions - and the right wing nutz refuse to recognize the cost of such a hollow "win." Who was the general who said "One more such victory and we are undone?"
Jeez Greer, after reading that crap you’re probably going to need some time to recover. You should ease yourself back into the literary world with baby steps. Perhaps your next review should be an Archie and Jugghead comic book. It’s a big leap but a definite step in the right direction.
Pretty sure making prisoners read that book is against Geneva Convention.

Not sure how you can edgy without being fucking cynical.
Not sure he was mentally unparalyzed in the first place.

So when is "International Burn a Decision Points" Day?

...or a rock or some brush. Had I been drinking milk, it would have come out of my nose. Well played sir/ma'am

Perhaps Mr. Bush will discuss this case in Volume II of his Memoirs - if he can still remember it. So many guilty parties - so little time to execute them all. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_texas_execution_dna">http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/...
And somehow I expect Millie had all the literary talent in that family.

Turkeys From God would have been a better title.
