1. And he addressed the sameful Bush rule to keep the war visibly from the US.
By blocking pics of flag draped coffins.

This news conference is like medicine for the country.

5. I assume you don't understand the "Shit Happens" principle
Dubya is a perfect example of the "Shit Happens" principle

There is no pendulum, unless we make one

We made one

Fuck the shit

I want my Future!

7. That's a good one
as to Dubya, he has his future enshrined in US History books, right up there with Hoover and a few others.

In fact, the Hoover Family is tickled pink... hoover who?

:-)

This guy will go into that pantheon of American heroes though...

8. That's empire building speaking
that said, there are some valid reasons to try to avoid leaving Afghanistan AGAIN as a failed state.

Now how you crack that nut given Afghani history is a damn good question

11. Yeah but 9.11 was classic blowback for what we did and didn't do
(as the western world, not just the US) in Afghanistan after the ruskies left

We had a window to do what needed to be done after the troops went into afghanistan after 9.11, but we royally blew it, due to the incompetence that is bush

As to Empire... we've had one, all the way back to 1898... and it is dying
