I assume you're referring to Dubya here, not Obama. Wasn't his NeoCon wetdream one of democratic dominoes falling after Iraq was liberated?

You must have gotten confused in your zeal (it seems to happen pretty frequently).

I think Powell simply toed the line. Even more reason to believe it was bipartisan.

Oh, Jeezus. Now you're claiming credit for Dubya in Libya.

Yep, the only thing was, Obama didn't know exactly HOW BAD Gadaffi's ass was going to be kicked.

No confusion here. I am referring specifically to that idiot Obama. He should have learned from Bush and Iraq, but he is not capable of doing so. He should have learned from Afghanistan, he is also not capable of doing so. There is no such thing as an Islamic democracy, with the possible exception of Turkey (and they have a history of military overthrows).

So what has Obama accomplished? Tunisia and Egypt, one neutral the other an ally of the USA, had their leadership replaced with help of pressure from Obama. Their current path, will probably take them down the path of conservative Islamic state that is hostile to the USA. In Tunisia, if you follow the news reports, a fundamentalist Islamic party won the election. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization of equal fundamentalist zeal, is poised to take over. In Libya, ole Murrimar has not even been buried yet, and ultra conservative Islamic Sharia-Law has already been put in place.

Barrack Obama, through his total incompetence and naivety, has fanned anti-Americanism, aided the removal of secular (if brutal regimes), destabilized an American ally (Egypt) and turned that state into a neutral, if not openly hostile one at best. He further destabilized the region by fanning Egypt and Turkey against Israel (undercutting another American ally). He refuses to warn Turkey against military intervention against the Iraqi Kurds (who were staunchly pro-American under Bush, and now have become neutral at best under big-eared Hawaiian)... Where Wilson failed in making the "World safe for Democracy", Obama succeeded in making the Middle East safe for fundamentalist Islam. Obama's performance in these aspects, is either the utter incompetence of a naive man, or treason (if it was planned this way) as he deliberately worked against American interests. Not even you, would claim that having a Fundamentalist Egypt is in the interest of the USA.

Jesus, I'm doing something I've never done before. Where is that ignore button?

"That moron idiot imbecile blah blah blah." You say how much you hate him, then you tell us again, then again. Then you make fun of how he looks, then make fun of how his wife looks. You think you're engaging in productive political discourse? You're a spoiled baby crying because you're guy didn't win the election. Grow the hell up.

*You* should have learned, but you, clearly, are not capable of doing so. Look at all the posts from all kinds of people on here. Left and right, we poke at each other, make points, but it's friendly. Every god damn post you type is full of idiocy and name calling. I tried to show you how useless it was and you're too god damn stupid to understand it. What point do you think you're making? Don't answer that. Or if you do, I sure as hell won't be seeing it.

We all get it. You don't like Obama. Save the typing. You can say the exact same crap over and over and over again but it doesn't make any difference. You are the most immature, closed minded, egotistical, self-rightous know it all I've ever had the displeasure of running across and it will be a pleasure not to ever read another political opine of yours.

Let's Dance is an awesome Bowie album though. Gotta give you that.

Say good night Gracie.

Good Eddie,

Let out your anger. You just can't handle it when someone refuses to buy into your liberal-leftist crap or insult that creature living in the White House. I'm getting to you... wonderful. "immature, closed minded, egotistical, self-rightous...", and you forgot annoying. That little liberal, marshmallow world of yours is falling apart all around you.... You're doing precisely what every liberal does when confronted by opinions they dislike: head in the sand, fingers in the ears.

You launched one vicious attack after another on me... yet, I'm not going to attack you. I am going to attack your beloved demigod, the "epic failure" from Hawaii, Barrack Hussein Obama. You know why, because it pisses you off (your responses are just an example) more than anything I could ever say to you. Just remember Eddie,... you know I love you!

I can feel your anger flowing... Does it bother you more that I make fun of that "other creature from the liberal lagoon", Michelle and her hideous fashion sense? The über-sized "supermodel" heralded by the press as the ultimate fashion queen? How sad...

Eddie, I am attacking you, but using proxies to do so, since I respect you more than this "President" Obama. How does it feel, you're anger is evident. LOL!~! Perhaps you are simply not used to somebody saying these things about the Obama's. Note that I have very carefully shielded their children from my character assassination....

Sweet dreams, and a restless night

P.S. No my guy didn't win in 2008, but it wasn't John McCain either. - just that you know.
