Comments on: Bush Wants Rumsfeld, Cheney To Stay

President Gives Support To Two Most Criticized Members Of His Cabinet

[jhindson1]

Remember if you vote Republican, you are voting for two more years of war lead by a total failure in policy and leadership (Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld) and this ongoing war will lead to many more unecessary deaths.

The war in Iraq is now a total Civil War with the various factions fighting for power.

The October 18 memo says it all. Meanwhile Bush Stays the Course - in total denial.

Staying the course with failed policies - Iraq, the huge national debt and a stalling economy.

Meanwhile Runsfeld has started up his propaganda department to feed baloney to the media - next they will try to control the media.

So Bush said Cheney and Rumsfeld were doing a great job. I think the President needs eyeglasses and hearing aids.

Correction, I shouldn't have said "his party alone" I meant his own small Neocon subgroup in the Republican party. To be fair, there are a lot of decent Republicans as disgusted with the way things have gone under this administration.

[pakaal]

"[President Bush] refused to even say whether he could work effectively with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi or Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid if Democrats won either the House or Senate, or both."

Another great moment from the Great Uniter. I guess "uniter" really meant "as long as you agree with absolutely everything I say and do". At least this makes it clear that for all his rhetoric about being for all the American people, it really is about his party alone, to H*ll with the rest of us.

The only way we are going to be able to repair the damage and get right with the rest of the world now is bringing all these guys into a trial, find them guilty and put them away. The sooner the better.

Cont.
The children are rarely monitored and still they receive little to no instruction on how to live, laugh or love.And all to often they as young children 15-18 end up repeating the cycle.With all this they have no time to care about what happens in this Country.They Don't care they just want to know that they will get a check throughout the month so they can continue the cycle.There are many, many answers to add to this 1st one however, I need to get to work now.

The answer to your question really started in 1969 when california Began the no Fault divorce. This began the instant break down of several families and was adopted by many other liberal and democratic states.The remedial break down of a family without just cause leaves children being brought up with a twist in standards with the ultimate I dont' give a attitude.Also, with this wonderful movement, came more social programs like the welfare program.For many years children (WHOM ARE ADULTS NOW) learned that they don't have to work or be responsible to live.All you have to do is fill out the form right.Then they get money, health insurance, food, and a home to live so why work? The only thing they have to work at is making more and more babies.high %'s of these parents are party going drug and alcohol addicts. There children are brought up in a lowly life style with little or no instruction surrounded by alcohol & drugs. Their parents (if they know who there father is) are for a large part in and out of jail. They are placed as wards of the court and then placed with relative or group home.

b4815--What are you talking about???Who are 'they' and where is the cesspool?? and who are the left wingers that you are paranoid about. There is a cesspool--that is Iraq, but that was created by our fearless leader---one of the 3 Amigo stooges

[lfitts1]

jpesot--I don't think I have ever heard it put better--I'll second that--and if you run--I'll vote for you

[b4815]

They didn't want to hang out in a left wing cesspool.

The three amigos ride on it seems.

History will not be kind to these 3 fools. There will be no statues to their greatness. No airports will be named after them (and certainly no aircraft carriers!). Their faces will never appear on any (real) currency. And certainly no schools will be named in their honor.

Instead, after making huge blunder, pleople will say "I really Bushed that one!".

Upon hearing a comment of questionable truthiness one will say "Don't Cheney me!!"

And when one knows that their boss pays no attention to what they say, you will here "Yea, I pitched my idea, but then he Rumsfelded me into submission."

These clowns will be remembered for living through Vietnam (in part by hiding from it) and for then repeating it's worst mistakes -- using the sons and daughters of others in the process.

This disaster will be studied by militray and political leaders again and again ... and ultimately people will pray that America's future conflicts won't become "Another Iraq".

We can only hope that future leaders learn the lesson that the 3 amigos seem to have missed.

Okay. Let us look at THIS closely.

Fearless Leader is so pleased with the slaughter in Iraq he%u2019s keeping the architect of that bloody circus, Rummy, on as Secretary of Disaster, excuse me, Defense.

He is pleased despite a report in the New York Times, that documented an Oct. 18 briefing where a slide of a color-coded bar chart illustrating an %u201CIndex of Civil Conflict.%u201D showed a sharp escalation in sectarian violence since the bombing of a Shiite shrine in Samarra in February, and a further worsening this month despite a concerted American push to tamp down the violence in Baghdad.

%u201CThe slide shows Iraq as moving sharply away from %u201Cpeace,%u201D an ideal on the far left side of the chart, to a point much closer to the right side of the spectrum, a red zone marked %u201Cchaos.%u201D As depicted in the command%u2019s chart, the needle has been moving steadily toward the far right of the chart.%u201D

So, Fearless Leader sees the chart with the needle nearly three quarters of the way to total chaos and he. is. pleased.

Either a color coded chart with all the events leading to this assessment drawn on it is too complicated for him or he has been plainly lying. through. his. teeth.

VOTE to take power away from this criminal bunch of lairs!

[xfredmenzies]

Goodbye, Rumsfeld. You did one heck of a job.

[chadb19]

I am ashamed of this administration and they are a disgrace to our forefathers. Why doesn%u2019t this country stand up and do something? We are becoming a complacent nation that allows incompetence...What happen to the great nation of the United States?? I have never seen it in such disarray in my lifetime. God help us!!

[huskerarmy]

Where did all the GOPers go? I didn't even see the short bus pull away.

[tejasdemo]

STAY THE COURSE BABY ! YEEEEEHAAAAAWWWWW

[radiob-2009]

The only possible reason I can see for Bush to make this kind of announcement is that the internal polls are not forebading well for the republicans.The public ones are not and maybe he is trying to state that with a democratic controlled house and senate he will fend off inquirys into both of them that would result in their resignation or impeachment.Not a smart move if this is his theory becase if it is it will result in his own resignation or impeachment.I do not like Bush but it is better if this theory is correct to let the punches land on Rumsfield and Cheney then for him to be impeached.Cheney by law can only resign or be impeached as he was elected with Bush.Rumsfield can be fired or forced to resign.I do not know of any defense secratary that has been impeached.If the democrats do take control of the congress then they can in effect cause Rumsfield resignation through an inquiry.To the person who will not vote and is going to leave the system good luck,there are all sorts of taxes required to exist in the US. A smarter course would be to build alliances with like minded people and vote for the things you wish to be taken care.There are multiple federal laws that allow individuals to express all kinds of greivances and even a do it yorself impeachment for the president or any member of congress.
