tsk tsk tsk... ITs so unbecoming of men who are jealous of other men who are getting laid and getting blow jobs...

Yeah, that whole "forsaking all others" thing is so passe' nowadays.

I find it disturbing how a self-proclaimed feminist is such a cheerleader for a serial sexual abuser.

What is a kid worth in barrels of oil nowadays?

Negative numbers, apparently:

US oil imports from Iraq:
2000: 226,804,000 barrels
2007: 176,709,000 barrels

Your point was...what, again?

I'll put it this way - I make roughly 60% of what I did before 2003.

The information isn't that hard to find. I've posted links to government spending sites several times, but most here would rather swallow the bullshit the spinmeister pass out than take the effort to look.

Your question is totally irrelevant since Bush never made a decision to murder everones first born children, or anything even close to that.
It's a stupid question.

I wonder hpow many of the 4000+ were first children.. or of the 30,000+ that will be fucked up for life were first children... all for his optional war and DECIDING to be a "War President"

I find it disturbing that what someone does in their personal lives is ANY of your business at all.

I dont expect any better from the FAUX News crowd though.

they thought he had wmd. he said before he was hung, that he bluffed the whole time because he didnt think u.s. would ever full on invade. just bomb here and there. he wanted iran to think he had wmd, so they wouldnt attack his diminished forces from desert storm.

strategicaly? iraq was the correct move. having another puppet democracy. and u.s. military base in middle east. stabilize middle east even more. bush administration thought beaten oppressed shi'a would welcome us getting rid of their sunni oppressor. wrong. they hated christian invaders much worse.

the intial war was nothing. i think u.s. casualty was less than 100. the ocuupation and rebuilding was the bush administration miscalculation. but what was their choice at that point? leave and let the country turn even worse than it was with hussein or stay and try and fix they best you can?

who benefits? no one yet. only history will know.

Is that the best you can do? A ridiculous supposition?
That's right out of the neo-con playbook.

If you are making 75% more now than in 2003, it is because of Bush and nobody else.
If you're going to blame him for everything that goes bad, you have to credit him for the good that happens also.

It is society's business if politicians use their status to commit sexual harassment or assault.

Monica was his personal business, unless you subscribe to the belief that female subordinates cannot willingly consent to sex with superiors in a workplace (I don't.)

But Paula Jones is not his personal business, even if the makeover and charges appear to be a GOP smear job. He still committed perjury to get that case dismissed.

Or it's because 2003 was a really shitty year.

My gross in 2008 was 500% of my gross in 2002. But only 107% of my gross in 2000.

Bush is without a doubt the biggest idiot to sit in the White House in a long time, but I'll give him credit for having the balls to make a decision and to stick by it

So you commend him for imposing his reckless, uninformed decisions on the world?? The only thing worse than a fool is a fool who doesn't know he's one.
Clinton had his flaws but I would take him (or anyone else for that matter) over ol'dubbya any day.

I say he made the right choice and stuck to it. Despite the vitriolic bs slung by the left (which by the way is about to follow this post) Two for two. Good for him.

History will judge him. The Bush bashers will have to lobby and wait

So, sexual assualt is excused, so long as it's a Democrat committing the crime? Is that TRULY what you're saying?

Dont mean shit!!!

EVEN if what you just posted made any sense at all. (remember, Bush was not running)

And given the one sided drive by media crap that got Obama elected, what do you expect?

As well as having an illegal work for you (which got an R denided a post)

As well as tax issues (that got an R in trouble and denied a post)

And the list goes on. I would guess you are not surprise however
