Medal of Honor recipient. Yes he means what he says and kind of disrupts the “democrats are traitors” comments seen from time to time in some threads.

Exit question: Is he joking?

The Answer is Simple: The democrats want all the power without the responsibility that goes along with it.

Still, if there’s one thing we’ve learned about the Democratics, it’s that they’ll bend over backwards not to alienate voters: that’s why so many of them voted for war in 2002 when they didn’t believe in it

Cameleon indeed – see Terri Schiavo, for ex. Not one opposed the voted, then they yammered endlessly against those who voted in favore. They, including Mrs. Clinton didn’t even show up; thus letting it go through. No one in their party, nor the MSM ever held her to that fire. No question on it in the debates. They do all this because:

1. They can get away with it, and
2. Because they believe the electorate to be really stupid.

Guess its all on how you define “Order”

I love that.

…The military has only two uses in their beliefs. One is as the National Guard to respond to emergencies. The other is peacekeepers to seperte warring factions…

Correction, three uses: The third being able to kick (humiliate) them around during election time to gain votes.

Dan Rather: George Bush is the President, he makes the decisions, and, you know, as just one American, wherever he wants me to line up, just tell me where.

Dave: Yeah.

heh,heh,heh

They sound like, oh my…WARMONGERS, don’t they.

Kerrey may get in trouble at the New School, which is so far to the left that they would replace Kerrey with Ron Paul.

The left has already branded Kerry a warcriminal (thats bob not John) They torpedoed him years ago.

William that was good. Do you think you can get a montage of all the hateful things the dems have been saying and show some examples of the left’s blogs and how very hateful they are?

Thats what Im working on next. Title is “Who are the democrats” and I have some good footage for that.

Dan: Well, David, I think we’ve talked about this before. As a one-time private in the U.S. Marine corps, with perhaps the least distinguished record in the whole history of the corps, I never know what to say about strategy. I don’t mean to make light of it. I don’t know the answer to that. I think the answer is, one, when we strike the President wants to make sure it’s an effective strike, and with what we’re dealing with here, which is not one man, it’s a hydra-headed operation that’s in 55 countries around the world.

Now, granted, the focus is on, and we should understand, not just Afghanistan– Afghanistan, Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Libya. Now, the first strike has to be a very effective strike, and I think the answer to your question is, one, we want to make sure that the first strike actually accomplishes something.

He said Sudan would decide on a peacekeeping force of more than 20,000 troops and police after the United Nations and the African Union had agreed on a plan and sent it to Khartoum.

“There is good momentum in the region,” he said, calling Biden’s remarks “unwarranted and out of context.”

There is good momentum…. What???! After all those people have been decimated, you watch, the UN will turn around in no time and blame the U.S. for not taking action. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. I think the sanctions need to be on the UN.

Start with The Root Causes of Sudan’s Civil Wars by Douglas Hamilton Johnson (Amazon.com)
Don’t even waste a single breath on anyone who blabbers on what to do about Sudan but hasn’t read that.
More background, is found in Emma’s War by Deborah Scroggins. It’s being made into a movie, with of course heavy focus on Emma herself, but in the book there’s a lot of decent info on the region.
Stop it with the people who’ve never been to a Third World nation then naively get dumped for an afternoon in Darfur. Darfur isn’t the only place with refugee camps. Americans with no Third World experience are shocked to see how bad it is (Mexico GDP/cap $6,000 versus Guinea GDP/cap less than $500, India GDP/cap less than $200). Thus, a day in Darfur, is going to be wildly more shocking to the uninitiated eyes than to someone who’s seen people in say, Mauritania living like Mad Max and the Thunderdome – that’s normal for them, but utterly appalling for Americans.
Right there, in Southern Sudan, right now, plenty of Dinka herders walk around NAKED, smeared with grey ash to keep the flies away and they are happy as clams. They have their cattle (to which they compose flowery poetry) they enjoy a pleasant climate, they don’t have many cares (as long as no one is shooting at them) but their living standards would send the average America into Prozac. They entertain themselves with occasional cattle rustling forays.
The reason WHY the North Sudanese government is messing with Darfur is the massive elephant in the room. It’s OIL. What sense does it make for the Left to cry NO BLOOD FOR OIL and OUT OF IRAQ AND INTO DARFUR? The fight in Darfur is for who controls the vast oil reserves that are lying under that dry ground.
So, the Left is simply, cynically and temporarily using humanitarian excuses that they think they can milk from Darfur.
It’s nothing to do with how much the Left cares about Darfur. They don’t. They’ll drop it in a New York minute once they discover it won’t work. They didn’t give a hoot when the North was pounding Southern Sudan for years for the very same reason. Darfur is only a tool by which to leverage US troops out of Iraq. Nothing more.

Dan Rather (D-Media), less than a week after 9/11 is on national TV drawing a link between 9/11 and Saddam. not to mention it would be a long war and different than any other we’ve ever faught. He mentions Saddam and Iraq at several places, but we’ve been led to beleive since the War went south that the President ‘lied’ about a 9/11 connection to saddam….
