Let nobody say that the president never delivers on his campaign promises. As pledged, every day George Bush works to bring the world together.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Venezuelan counterpart Hugo Chavez sealed their anti-American alliance Monday by laying the foundation stone of a joint petrochemical plant.
The two leaders pledged to “stand against all enemies,” a reference to the United States, as they inaugurated construction of a 700-million-dollar methanol plant in the Asaluyeh industrial zone on the Gulf coast.
That sound you hear is the Michael Ledeen’s head exploding, spontaneously reassembling itself and then exploding again.
Nicholas Weaver
As Colbert was saying the other day. “Bush has managed to unite 70% of all Americans”
Ellison, Ellensburg, Ellers, and Lambchop
That’s nothing. Churchill and FDR once united the Nazis, the Fascists, and Imperial Japan. What a pair of failures.
Ned Raggett
I think Ledeen was gibbering something the other day that he had stopped saying “Faster, please” because W. wasn’t listening to him anymore.
I wept.
Tears.
Of laughter.
Faux News
E-cubed and Lambchop:
One might also say that only Hitler and Hirohito could unite Communist Soviet Union, Imperialist England, and Capitalist United States.
Mussolini did make the trains arrive on time in Italy. No small feat by the way.

I don’t think you understand, Tim F.
It reminds me of a case where a police officer set his ex-girlfriends apartment building on fire, so he could rush in to save her and regain her love.
The apartment burning to the ground was not part of the plan, but nobody could have possibly anticipated that.

Linked, because its unexpected.

You got that right, Lambchop. In four years those two losers together defeated a well-armed enemy that combined had taken over most of Europe and Asia.
Just can’t compare to the brilliance of a Republican Commander Guy and a poodle. Who during four years have managed to shoot themselves in the dick over Iraq. Repeatedly. While the guys who six years ago attacked us on our own soil…
Vote Republican for national security. Take stupid to a level God could marvel at in his creation. The drool cup industry needs your support.

And all a republican candidate has to do is say he’ll outlaw flag burning and the heartland will swoon. Facts don’t matter.

Yeah, bomb the crap out of your telephone.

How is Venezuela’s military? The mAdmin. has been making noises about Iran, but like No. Ko. they’re too scary for more than a little light sabre rattling. However, we’ve already seen the following formula at work:
No WMDs + No connection 2 Al-Q = Time 2 Frag Iraq 4 WMDs and Connection 2 Al-Q = Oil & Ponies;
The war chickens would have no problem with this formula:
Iran (Attacks on Troops) + Venezuela + Money (Pledge of FU USA) = Time 2 Frag Venezuela 4 Supporting Iran = Oil & Ponies.
Plus, Venezuela would make a dandy place for a former President and/or Vice President in need of a place to hide.

That is correct, jg. Until congresscritters grow enough balls to do some real oversight, up to and including contempt of congress citations, we are in for much more of the same. These guys are like malicious children, they need limits.
I used to believe in impeachment, but with this cabal of law-breakers, there are just too many for that to be an effective strategy.
I’m left thinking that the Democratic strategy so far is just about right. Contrary to “two in the brainpan” Lambchop and Psycheout, who apparently think this is some kind of victory for the Party of Torture, it seems to me that people are mightily pissed off about this, and unhappy that the party of “bringing respect back to the office of the President” can’t obey its’ own laws, or live up to its’ own rhetoric.
The Tony Snow news gathering today was pathetic. Someone should have explained to him that he was going to be defending the the dismantling of our democracy. I almost felt bad for him, then I remembered who he works for.

Ok now I know you are a spoof.

Ooops, sorry, I thought I was posting on the Libby thread.
Never mind.

Awesome. Weapons-grade awesome, in fact.

You say that like the whole of Congress is run by the Democrats. Think Republican boot-lickers won’t fight any open legal proceedings against Bush with every last tooth and nail? Think they won’t make an epic stink and try to grind the entire US Government to a halt out of spite? Think the entire process won’t be turned into a sham trial and media circus by sleazy political tricks and the oh-so-liberal MSM? Think again.
I’m not saying Pelosi and Reid shouldn’t grab their nuts like real Americans and get down and dirty. I’m just saying that impeachment will be a monumental shitstorm when the executive branch still technically holds so much power. Bush will fit to the bitter end, and Congress will most likely have to politely ask for some sort of police or military coup to end it all.
Frankly, everyone involved would much rather just wait till ’09 and sort things out when the reigns of power have offically been pried from a madman’s hands.

As pledged,Bush worked on everyday to bring world together to against US.If the things continue like this even after the 2008 election,then no one could help US to keep isolated from rest of the world.

Um, on the Pelosi-nuts thing ……
Jake
You know what they say…
ThymeZone
Good point.
Tony J
Yeah, but really, this is a great plan. Just like in Iraq, where the centrifugal force of a country the size of California collapsing into anarchy drew in Islamo-magnetically attracted ‘rogue elements’ from the surrounding hinterland, then really, really fucking up a country the size of Western Europe will create an irresistible Islamo-magnetic whirlpool effect that drags everyone who really, y’know, needs to die for victory to be achieved into an enormous gellatinous blob that can the be nuked from orbit, by Scooter Libby, riding a pony. A Space Pony.
Oh yeah, great plan.

Tony J, you totally forgot about the islamofascist killer robots.

Actually, for the forseeable future, I expect them to continue to be more obstructionist than at any previous time in our history. The job of Democrats here is to get them on record as being what they are, enablers of the most corrupt and dangerous administration in modern times.
Dems are not going to do that by equivocating, but by pushing (as best they can under the circumstances) for real oversight.
Maybe I’m just pissed off, but for all the good our “majority” in the Senate is doing us, why don’t they just dump Joe Lieberman and make him run as a Republican?
Tony J
The attractive effect is Islamo-magnetic in origin. Until Osama’s highly-paid boffins master the mass-construction of ceramic casings those suckers are destined to be flat-packed before they can muster a defence.
And if that fails, you can just get some well-practised lunatic in a uniform to stare at them until they die. Or you can make them a little bit gay with a big bomb, so they collapse from despair at their lack of functional genitallia with which to sin against God’s plan for creation. Either way, everything is well in hand.
Tony J
Yes. Yes it would.

According to a Financial Times poll, Bush has certainly brought a lot of the world together.

“Europeans consistently regard the US as the biggest threat to world stability, a new poll reveals on Monday.”

“Europeans consistently regard the US as the biggest threat to world stability, a new poll reveals on Monday.”
Nice poll (cough cough). Stability? Is that what Euros strive for now? You’d think with Muslims burning down Paris, rushing into Germany, and bombing London and Madrid, the Euros would kind of get the message that maybe “stability” will see a lot of them killed. Not too bright, that lot.
And now 32% of five selected Euro countries say they aren’t going to ask us out for the prom!
Of course, they recently voted for the more pro-America candidates in Germany and France, and the former Soviet states (not polled) have more favorable views of the US. So while 32% might be delusional, it seems the majority of voters may be getting a clue.
