Brilliant! I have a few bookshops to visit tomorrow Subversively move George W. Bush’s memoir to crime section in book shops this Tuesday NOVEMBER 9th! Make bookshops think twice about where they categorize our generation’s greatest war criminals.
Grow up. All that does is 1. make our side look immature, and 2. force the store employees to do the extra work of moving the books back to their original shelves and tables, probably repeatedly.
I agree that Carter didn't handle the Hostage crisis well but consider that he tried to rescue them while later Reagan traded arms to get hostages. Carter mismanaged but Reagan gave in to extrortion. Actually the first oil crisis started under Richard Nixon and the second in 1979 was partly due to the price controls that Nixon had put in place and that Carter was in the process of deregulating. As far as the spent nuclear issue no Admin. has done a good job dealing with that one. Also both crisis were started by foreign events beyond the control of either President. The Yom Kippur War in 1973 and the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
All of you, please stop this charade that thumbs is interested in factual and intelligent debate. It's annoying as hell.
Maybe, maybe not but I am interested in debate and discussion even if he isn't. At least I can help set the record straight every now and then.
Surely you jest. Debate and discussion with someone not interested in debate and discussion strikes me as a frustrating waste of time but hey, it probably only took you a few seconds to make that post...
it also didnt help carter that the reagan/bush team made a back-room deal w/ the iranians to not release the hostages till after the election. reagan not only traded arms for hostages - he illegally sold them arms while they were at war w/ saddam, who we were also supplying arms, chemical weapons and intel to. and the reagan administration took the profits from those illegal weapons sales to iran and used it to fund terrorism in latin america.
more on Bush's book coming out. I actually might pick it up (if I can find it after mcmark's refilings -- crime? comedy? tragedy? horror? fiction?...maybe I'll just order it at the library).... Couple of quotes beyond the Kanye one.... On Obama: (I've heard him express this sentiment before). On WMD: On Katrina: On Cheney: Kanye quote was the most blogworthy... but the book may be a bit of an insight into the workings of that dysfunctional administration. sorry no linky -- quotes are from a newspaper article (that's like a paper ipad kiddies -- like grandpa used to get).
No I don't and quit calling me Shirley. Not a major time commitment but D & D does suck up a lot of my time.
It is pretty disturbing that the President was intimated by the VP into making decisions regarding going to war.
oh...there's a lot that's disturbing about that presidency. It'll take more then a book to exonerate them .
