11/4    Gee.  I have always hoped that the first black POTUS would be Powell.
        Now this 47-yr-old dude stole the opportunity created by Dubya.  In a
        way Dubya is like Gobachev -- they both instrumented their parties'
        demise.
        \_ Powell fucked us all by backing Dubya in saying there were WMDs in
           Iraq.
           \_ Powell supported the war with faulty intelligence that he
              knew wasn't slam dunk, and when he realized they're faulty
              intelligence... he became very quiet.

6/6     WTF? Does Romney have even the faintest idea what a "null set" is?

        \_ I think it's more shocking that he apparently doesn't know that
           the IAEA inspectors were, y'know, in Iraq.
           \_ Let's be honest, Saddam did not fully open his country.  Yes, the

        \_ By "red-handed" you mean "senior white house officials" leaked

3/26    This is a good read, though it's a long article,
        how the US has no plans to 'rescue' our Iraqi
        allies when we eventually leave Iraq:
        http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/03/26/070326fa_fact_packer?printable=true
        \_ Isn't the idea that we leave when they are ready to fully control
           their own country so they don't need rescue?

10/18   Wow, watch the democratic party implode!  Swami's political little

        \_ Huh? -motd political ignorant

           \_ You're right.  The minority party imploded in 94 and never
              recovered.

9/25    World is safer?  not according to CIA and 15 other spy agencies
        in USA... you know, those agencies are known for their liberal bias
           \_ which leaves out other 15 spy agencies who is obviously
              have "liberal bias."

7/25    50% of Americans now believe Saddam had WMDs, up from 36% in
        February 2005.  Mission fucking accomplished!

        \_ It all depends on what "WMD" means

        O'Reilly on his radio show, describing how he would stabilize Iraq:
        "President O'Reilly, curfew in Ramadi, 7 o'clock at night. You're on
        the street, you're dead. I shoot you right between the eyes. OK?
        That's how I'd run that country -- just like Saddam ran it. Saddam
        didn't have explosions. He didn't have bombers, did he? ...

6/1     EU3, U.S., Russia, and China reportedly agree on incentives, penalties
        package for Iran, what I call "sloppy sanctions".  My prediction:
        (1) Iran will continue enrichment research.
        (2) Penalties will be imposed, but not necessarily by a vote from the
            Security Council.
        (3) The penalties are limited in scope:  Blocking of financial

3/30    what do people think about the British memos supposedly
        saying Bush/Blair were thinking of ways to fake cause
        for invading Iraq in case we didn't find WMD quickly?

3/27    Bush was determined to go to war, WMD or not:
        http://csua.org/u/fc8 (NYT)
        \_ OMG!  This is totally smoking gun material!  Spread the word!
        \_ Well, Dubya doubted Blix would find the WMDs, but he was sure that
           Saddam had them, so he attacked in March '03 to prevent Blix from
           not finding them longer.
