It doesn't with mine.

If it were true, it would be problematic. However, it isn't remotely true outside of the fevered minds within the Faux bubble.

The premises that have been put forward in this thread so far have been so mindless it worries me for the future of this nation.

The premises put forth from many folks these days have me worried about the future of this nation.

We can start with ;

"Greed is Good".

The rest of the backwards and dangerous thinking flows from there.

And, therein lies the crux of our demise.

That is your forte, parsing, whellie. I know you don't like being called out for it but it is the truth. You're constantly doing it. How does it feel?

Here's a book recommendation on how phucked-up the CIA has been throughout its history.

Hell, they didn't even predict the collapse of the Soviet Empire, while at the same time were pretty sure about WMD's in Iraq.

For me, it's very easy to believe that the CIA fucked up big time. As for all of Faux's bullshit while they shill for Romney, I don't believe a thing they say. Ever. Period.

So you're saying that the lack of WMDs in Iraq wasn't Bush Jr lying Finn? Or doesn't the razor cut both ways?

I'm sure Limbaugh and Hannity will now issue apologies for their heated, deceitful rhetoric.

There's still plenty in that article for you to suck on.

"Wolfowitz still blames the Obama administration for its credibility problem, calling it “the result of a general lack of transparency and particularly of the fact that senior officials, including the president and the secretary of state, persisted for so long in offering the American people misleading suggestions that the attacks in Benghazi were a response to an obscure anti-Islamic video.”
He also faults the administration for failing to respond to requests for better security in Libya, for assigning a low priority to the military’s Africa Command, and for failing to move quickly to bolster Libya’s security forces after the fall of Muammar Qaddafi — although he confesses that the Bush administration made the same mistake in Afghanistan and Iraq."

I think that last part says Obie didn't learn from, and is just the same as the inept Bush.

Wolfie found something negative to say about the current administration? I'm shocked!

His comments seem hilarious considering his team did more than anyone before or since to damage American credibility.

Indeed. A fuck-up like Benghazi would somehow have been considered a success in Dubya's administration. Relatively speaking, it probably would have been.
