(2007-04-26) — White House sources say President George Bush has given Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi a list of administration officials who would make good targets for Congressional probes as part of Mr. Bush’s strategy to keep Democrats preoccupied with investigations and thus distracted from implementing their legislative agenda.
The news of the Bush strategy comes as Congressional committees have called for additional testimony from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice over the pre-Iraq War claim that Saddam Hussein sought uranium from Niger, and from Justice Department deputy Monica Goodling, over claims that the Bush administration fired eight political appointees for political reasons.
Unnamed administration sources say the president is “pleased as punch” with the way ongoing probes of his appointees have delayed implementation of the Democrats’ “tax and spend agenda.”
“George Bush is already shaping up to be the most effective lame duck president in American history,” said one unnamed source. “Who would have thought it could be so easy to stymie the Democrats. It reminds me of Muhammad Ali’s rope-a-dope tactic.”

bobberinyetagain - 1941-2007 (and counting) do you suppose Roosevelt "planned" on America's involvement in Germany and Japan lasting over 66 years?
We're still in those countries and our date of "withdrawal" has yet to be established.
I happen to know the date of withdrawal from Iraq, my President told me (and everybody else for that matter) but the libbers insist on thinking that George, Harry and Nancy are all equal in the lying department. It never occurs to them that our President is a truth teller.
Our troops will leave Iraq, "When the job is done." President Bush has repeatedly said "Victory is the date the job is done", no weasling, talks, cut and run, kow-towing, yellow stripe down the back or white flags. Or in the words of that great Democrat - Harry S. Truman, "Unconditional surrender, nothing more and nothing less." so now you know and you won't have to ask again.
Isn't it strange that all of us conservatives here at ScrappleFace
know that date and you, as long as you've been hanging around, didn't have a clue?
Unlike Winston Churchill - We don't want to have to fight the terrorists on the beaches, in the streets and house by house. It may take the lives of a lot more of our troops, but we will win!
The one thing the libbers fear more than anything else - the devil, fire, snakes etc. is America's victory in Iraq. for that would be the end of the Democrat party. (and they know it!)

I, too, look forward to the good Secretary making mincemeat of these clowns. They are starting with the assumption that the sixteen words were untrue, when they have been proven true over and over again, including by Joe Wilson! This should be fun.
I wonder if they’ll have a hearing to show how removing eight attorneys for political reasons - even though they have no evidence of ANY wrongdoing, despite their massive fishing - is grounds for dismissal, but that aiding the enemy and endangering 160,000 men and women in harm’s way to defend their country, for political reasons (as proven by Reid’s own words) is patriotic.

Shelly, in answer to your question on the last thread: I heard that she started out in a southern drawl and then remembered to whom she was speaking and slipped into, “Oyvey. That Ahmadurn-nutjob is meshugine. But that goyem khazer’s khutspe is gonna get his tokhes blown to meet his Allah. What a shlemil. Oy.” But she didn’t bother to cover her head because that would not be feminist.

Darthmeister, I think that you might need to give Boberin a lesson in grammar…as in, George’s Rope-A-Dope broken down means that George is roping a dope (I’m just hoping his rope is big enough to catch the hundreds of dopes in Congress), not a rope catching George. I could do a diagram for him, but I am not sure that it would be all that useful.
19 Shelly // Apr 26, 2007 at 9:16 am
cat, I don’t know if a diagram would help or not. Boberin’s idea of a good President is somehone who has trouble with the definition of the word “is.”

22 boberinyetagain // Apr 26, 2007 at 9:54 am
A diagram might be helpful
Hmmm…sex or war, which thing is worse to lie about….?????
And, yes, perhaps George isn’t lying/hasn’t lied. It’s surely possible that he is just far too trusting of questionable intelligence/advice but, either way….it’s not pretty.
Then again, perhaps the insurgency is in it’s “last throes” after all. Probably not but maybe…it’s just a timing thing.
If things are going so well now, what’s wrong with wrapping it up in a year? If not a year, how long?
How long would he have predicted before the war? How long would he have predicted 1 year in? 2 years in?
Why is it always “going well”/”nearly over” but no measurable progress actually takes place.
Is something measureably good just over the horizon? If it is then folks might just get energized, might just begin to see a point.
Not gonna happen (even if we all wish really hard)

As to the resident “thorn in our sides”, Bob….reminds me of the class clown who craving attention, shows his bravery by name calling. Takes real courage to call the President of the USA a dope doesn’t it? I think being in the presence of a real man (masculine, confident, comfortable with his maleness, successful) makes men with little (nah, too easy, let’s call it) self esteem very uncomfortable.

boberin, how big a genocide are you hoping for? That would need to be considered before you decide what the US military should do, bit expert that you are.
Sectarian violence has been reduced by two-thirds. This is “no measurable progress.” I doubt the diagram would help, given your continuous need to deny reality.

Also, who knew selling secret rocket technology to the Chinese for illegal campain contributions qualified as “sex.” Same for NoKo, even if their leader is deranged in more than one area. Not to mention that whopper about Rush Limbaugh being behind the OK City bombing.

Of course, this is not a complete surprise, given that McCain’s media buddies are the very same individuals who dumped Imus!

Boberin, I am just wondering if Bush’s trusting the information that was passed on to him from the previous administration as indicated by Sandy Berger and Hillary herself, made him a liar as well. Perhaps you are right. He wasn’t a liar, just far too trusting of people of questionable ethics.

Unlike Harry Reid, I tend to view Four Star Generals as both knowledgeable and honest.
“Your visible presence alongside Iraqi soldiers and police has begun to restore a sense of normalcy to many areas that have seen little other than violence over the past year. Your hard work has also led to the uncovering of sizable weapons caches, the detentions of a number of death squad and car bomb network members, the bringing to justice of a number of militia extremists, a decrease in the number of sectarian killings, and a renewal of commerce in many markets and neighborhoods.” (Gen. David Petraeus, Letter To Soldiers Serving In Multi-National Force-Iraq, 04/14/07)
We definitely don’t want that to continue beyond October 1, 2007, the day the Dems want us to begin surrendering to the death squads and bomb makers.
37 Shelly // Apr 26, 2007 at 11:17 am
From redstate.com
“‘I’m not going to get into a name-calling match with someone who has a 9% approval ratings,’ Reid said. He then called Cheney the ‘Administration’s chief attack dog.’
Today the Wall Street Journal (subscription required) reports on a new Harris Poll that finds Vice President Cheney’s approval rating is 25 percent, higher than Reid’s 22 percent.”
Oops.

25%, he must be so proud
Nobody can inform of us of and scare us with “the boogieman” like a republican. So many to choose from, so little time.

So, when peace reigns in the middle east, then we can leave?
Thanks for the reassuring notion. It’s been a bit over 2000 years now (1995 or so of those years w/o our army there) but NOW everything will be ok?

Yes, boberin you’ve hit it again. We’re all predicting the end of violence, disease, bad weather, bad music and bad hair days. The Garden of Eden is returning to the Middle East, courtesy of the US. Everything will be perfectly peachy keen. All the people will be beautiful. All the children will have lovely singing voices. All pets will be cute and furry. That’s exactly what we’ve been saying.
We can check everything off the template for this thread.
1. Bush lied. (When he agreed with all world leaders as well as the UN.)
2. There is no progress. (This is proved wrong.)
3. Why not just leave the Iraqi’s to be murdered by the thugs and surrender?
4. The rest of us are wearing rose colored glasses and describing the utopia we’re predicting in Iraq.
5. The racisit/sexist undertone that underscores the criticism of a different culture, and the defense of Clinton’s misogeny.
Yep, it’s all there.
42 conserve-a-tips // Apr 26, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Boberin, please think before you type. “when peace reigns in the middle east, can we leave? Thanks for the reassuring notion.”
I have to concur with Fred here. How is it that we know the answer and you don’t? We leave when Iraq is a country that can hold its elections, run a democratic government and sustain a viable armed forces on its own. It isn’t there quite yet. Take a look at your own country. You would have never survived the Civil War. And are you ready to throw in the towel on your own country today because peace doesn’t reign here? It does? I don’t think so. Just ask those parents of the Virginia Tech students.

Shelly, facts and a plain reading of documents relating to those facts don’t matter one whit to those seditious, lying moonbats on the left. They create an alternate reality narrative in their left-wing blogs which is then picked up and reinforced by the lamestream media (if it isn’t borderline insane or laughable) and then the rest of the lazy blame-America/hate-Bush liberals like bober who live in this echo chamber and happily lapping up the kool-aid actually flatter themselves by believing they really have a handle on THE TRUTH! Of course many of these same leftists have spent their lifetimes denying there is such a thing as THE TRUTH. However, that’s all these seditious leftists talk about is how they have THE TRUTH on their side and BUSH IS A LIAR and WE’RE LOSING THE WAR and ISLAMOFASCISTS ARE A FIGMENT OF REPUBLICANS’ IMAGINATION. Truth indeed. bober, you wouldn’t know THE TRUTH if it bit you on the butt. You prove that virtually everytime you post here. You don’t sound any different than the front page of the New York Times on any given day.
And has anyone seen the latest UN report on violence in Iraq? Buwahahahahahaha. The United Nations … what does that scandal-ridden, worthless, socialist global organization know about THE TRUTH? Throw the report in the garbage can because its based on the same kind of “honesty” which undergirded the idiotic 500-Iraqi-civilians-a-day-are-being-killed John Hopkins/Lancet study.

If we retreat and leave our allies to their fate, they’ll probably be okay. There might be a few ten thousand more dead civilians in the long run, and Iran might become a regional superpower and plunge the world into recession by manipulating oil prices, but that’s not OUR problem

Hi there, all you phoney Bush loving pseudo-conservatives. Your boyfriend in the Whitehouse is mockery of everything that real conservatives stand for. This welfare program for Iraqis and special interest groups (read defense contractors) is the worst thing that ever happened to the USA. Ike warned us about morons like Bush and his cronies 50 years ago. Were any of you chumps listening? Do any of you even know who Ike is? Bush is an Unamerican loser. Now with the help of the DIMS he will throw opened the borders. I wonder what tommorow’s scandal will be. God bless the patriot act. The constitution was old school anyway. Hey the stock market is going up, right??? All is well, until you take a look at what the price of gold, fuel, and real estate has done. Then you realize that the measly single digit percentage gain in the stock market since moron boy took office means nothing. Any fool can print money. On a gold standard we are in the toilet.

TrueConservative - Very interesting indeed. As a Conservative Christian myself - the idea of a Conservative athiest never crossed my mind.
For us Christians, God’s Prophet Micah tells us that Russia and China (Gog & Ma-gog) will protect Persia (Iran) - and the King (President George W. Bush) of God’s country Zion (United States) will be in position because God put him there.
Now I will agree that George isn’t perfect but then neither was King David (who was overloaded with flaws) but Mr “True Conservative” before you go dissing our God appointed President, you should check out the facts.
We are in the end of the end of the last days. WWIII is knocking at our door so I (for one) am not going to go around telling folks how God screwed up and put the wrong guy in as President of His country Zion (aka - The United states of America). I believe George is right where God wants him; but I also believe that you are not.

No truer conservative than Theodore Roosevelt:
“Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
From “The Strenuous Life”
Conservatism isn’t isolationism or non-interventionism. Even Thomas Jefferson took on the Barbary pirates off the coast of Africa.

The United states had a vested interest in taking out the Barbary pirates. The were extorting money from us. Saddam Hussien was a nobody; an easy target for Bush to beat up to impress his dumb followers.
“BTW, True Conservative, you’re a lying charlatan. I’ll put my conservative credentials and voting record up against yours any day.”

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat”
The problem with Bush’s history is it is not “checkered by failure”. It is failure from the A to Z.
The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.

Hey, “True Conservative”-Whew! I’m glad to know you’re no “biggot” (#72. You’re no speller or proofreader, either. Or a deep thinker.

Easy to make allegations, FauxConservative, but like the libtards, lying morons like you don’t have the proof to back up what you say … unless of course left-wing or anarchist blogs are your “sources”.
Your mommy is calling, better beat it home and take your lithium.

Oh, and neverthink, you’re going to have to do better than that. Don’t you have some homework to do this weekend?

New to this site-fascinating read!
I believe I recognize the style of one venom-drenched liberal from elsewhere who had made a brilliant attempt (for him) at sarcasm. But perhaps others already here might recognize my style from elsewhere…
Couple of points occur to me:
1. President Bush and his father before him made the very same mistake. Both started a war that needed starting but without the resolve to finish it. If Iraq had become a high-temperature lake for the common folks of the rest of the region to enjoy….. Would clean some of ‘em up a bit, too.
2. As to the new flag as appropriate to America under the Reid Doctrine: Don’t waste any money on it. An old pair of tighty-whities with the waistband dyed a light shade of pink will do quite nicely. It should last another year and a half or so with just a couple of holes punched in the waistband to clip it onto the rope. Pessimists could buy some of those brass grommets at the hardware store but they’d be more effective buying cookies at the bake sale to buy ammunition for the troops.
