Shrike: The Associated Press managed to aquire the ACTUAL documents just a week before the election - ie won their FOIA lawsuit and got raw access to the archives

while the CBS documents were falsified, their content was correct

What do you call it? Brain Washing? Yep, that's it.
Bush basically won (sadly) by only two EV. That should AT LEAST say something to him. Anyway, luck is that you can't be elected more than twice.

As one of my clients put it, "maybe for finally destroying USA a a lone and whole-wanting superpower, because that's what it actually is, we really need 4 more years of Bush." Time will come when America will realize that something "isn't right". How come the most wonderfull and liberal democratic Nation the world EVER had suddenly has become the most hated one in the world? And, no, not from Muslim only. Here you have a Romanic-Catholic who does juuust that.

My 2 cents.

No offence to anyone here, but right now, it's their own bloody fault. No ****ed up voting system or odd recounts to take the blame. Just, shear stupidity by majority.

The only problem is, we're just as ****ed as you are.

Bingo. The system of alliances the Kerry promised to rebuild actually entrenched America in the position of hegemon. Provided he doesn't do anything supremely stupid, like start World War 3, I think another 4 years of Bush will be beneficial for the world, if not necessarily for those of us in the US.

Kazan, ditch the huge font on the signature. I mean, stop putting it back on your signature, it's annoying.

And CmdKewin and kasperl, cut the size on yours to something manageable, like four lines on standard text (including blank lines) and I won't have to do it for you.

Dunno why you lot are getting so upset.  Kazan's gonna be voting Republican in a decade or so.  Winston Churchill said so, it's gotta be true!

My annoyance at huge signatures. :p

We've already posted an announcement about it a while ago, but keeping something like that up constantly wouldn't really work, so I tell people on a case-by-case basis when I find something. Signatures bigger than the posts add too much clutter to the boards.

I have no brains according to Winston then :D

Woohoo!

 
I think Kazan's sig is a little off anyway, it shouldn't be "Christo-fascists" but rather "neo-conservatives", referring to Paul Wolfowitz and his buddies.

      The fact that Bush was voted for by so many people is just baffling from here north of the border.  Either americans have been so brainwashed by the Administration that they don't know any better, or that people vote along thier traditional party lines no matter whose in office or what the issues are.  I mean, take the war on terror. To think that Bush is doing a good job through his invasion of Iraq is ludicrous.

       For a similar example, I offer this. Let's say that the US finds it has 16 Cows with Mad Cow disease within their borders. After some searching, they discover that 12 cows came from canada, 2 from Brazil, 1 from Argentina and 1 Peru. In response to this threat to the health of the american public, the US shuts the US-Mexico border to beef.

      Now, would that make any sense to americans? Would americans feel safer because of it? Let's say that Mexico had a history of trading substandard meats of other types like chickens, and so forth. Would it still make any sense??

      If not, why in the hell would invading Iraq in some part of the war on terror make any sense, when most of the 9/11 hijackers and Osama Bin Laden are from Saudi Arabia? In fact, why would the US seem to place more importance on capturing Saddam Hussein rather than capturing Osama Bin Laden?

      And then the Administration _lies_ and misleads the American people, and it's discovered that they lied and misled them, and even during the election campaign we have Bush saying "Iraq had links to terrorism" (referring to the Regime's donations of money to the families of Hamas suicide bombers) yet he leaves it open-ended, therefore implying to the people that these links were Al-qaeda related (even though it was shown they weren't), and thus Bush was still misleading everyone with the SAME bull**** and people still ate it up. Remember that this war on terror is targetting 'global-reaching terrorism', Hamas isn't one of those groups as  I understand it, so it shouldn't be used as some twelth-string excuse for going to war with Iraq.


       What this election has done is given the Bush Administration a new mandate to continue on with the neo-conservative vision to reform the middle east. I wouldn't be suprised if in the next four years, some place like Iran or Syria was also invaded and conquered by the US warmachine on some laughable pre-text of 'fighting the war on terror', but some dictatorship and indirect bush-election contributor like Saudia Arabia will likely never even be considered.


       Oh well if there's one bright spot in all of this, as one person said on a CBC townhall the other day, Bush is good for the loonie!  :ha:

After deliberating for an extensive period of time over how to most eloquently articulate my feelings on this monumental issue, I must ultimately resign myself to the realization that the situation with which we are confronted is best summarized in a simple but nonetheless timelessly effective idiom of the English language.

so, you're not against war and violence as a way of resolving problems, you just disagree with which nation to go to war with.

...just so we're clear. You know, it makes sense, Saudi lives are simply worth less, so while Iraq is indeed a tragedy, doing the same to Saudi Arabia would be perfectly legitimate.

Shrike: see, thats the thing, Bush and his bunch aren't really conservative. They're just imperialists and fascists (by the true meaning of the word, not the politicized crap). Conservativism calls not only for fiscal responsibiity (ha!) but also a small government (ha!) and a non-interventionist foreign policy (ha!)
