The most consistent characteristic about President Bush is that he truly loves and relishes life. Bush's friend said "He's comfortable with the decisions he made. He doesn't obsess about his place in history." his biographer added.
Targeting is a lot different than carpet bombing Afghanistan with B-52s, or “shock and awe” in Iraq. BTW, we’re also out of Iraq (sort of) and getting out of Afghanistan. Lives saved by NOT being in those countries, should have been the lesson learned before we went in, and stopped it.
“That JEW, and I mean that in the meanest most derogatory manner possible…”
Does this mean that you believe Mr. Kissinger would not have been a war criminal if only he had been born to a Presbyterian family?
Your point about Mr. Kissinger is correct. I don’t think his religious affiliation had anything to do with it. Your apparent assertion that it does shows either or both ignorance and/or bigotry, neither of which makes your post worthy of respect.
I’m not so sure. I get the sense that once there’s a little distance between Obama and his White House years his high-handed I’ll-tell-you-what-you-need attitude and complete obliviousness to how things actually work will not be handled with kid gloves.
I mean that in the meanest most derogatory manner possible, KissingerUmm… not sure where you got the idea that that was ok, let alone funny. I’m no fan of Kissinger’s, but he didn’t single handedly keep us in Vietnam. Nixon picked Kissinger to implement his misguided ‘Peace with honor’.
Your grandmother and mine aren’t goatherds and they’ll die just the same under the admitted death panels his own people said will be necessary with full Obamacareless implementation you nincompoopStill talking up the imaginary death panels? You’re so focused on the talking points, you’re missing the real problems with the ACA.
At a press conference during the Bush presidency, he was asked if he had made any mistakes or things he wished he had done differently.-His response was that he was truly stumped, that he couldn’t think of any. He might be able to come up with one or two if given a couple weeks to ponder it.-I don’t believe Bush was the stupidest president, but he was the most arrogant in history. On a nucular scale.
Night Guant49: just reading an accurate assessment about the changes in our military tactics: it was called the “Israelization” of our process, which means using smaller, targeted assassinations, preemptively of course!

Obama says he’s good at killing people.

History will not be kind to Bush League, and even he is not too stupid to realize that.

“Bush has and always will be a disinterested voyager through life.”
Well phrased.
