Spurred on by Oliver Willis post on Friday, concerning the number of days that have passed since 9/11, I thought I d write a nifty little clock script. You can visit the  Osama Clock and see just how much time has passed sin…

He That Shall Live This Day OR

Family Ties That Bind

Be warned: They’re not anti - Bush, or anti - Republican. There’s no T & A, no Washington Redskins, and no DC Comics — in other words, nothing that would interest any of Oliver’s fans.

Don’t bother to comment — you might say something intelligent, and I’m not sure my heart could stand it..

Yes, M’sieu Loopy, calling me “Frankie boy” isn’t an ad hominem attack; it’s a reasoned argument.

By the way, did you challenge me, or are you just playing “Wyatt Earp” on this thread?

Heh.

You impress all of us with your ranting.

I find it interesting that so many people know how inactive my blog is, without going there. If you do go there, why do you go? Just to see how many people are going there? You’re not commenting. Why not?
Can’t understand all the big words? They’re only newspaper stories. I know that’s above Oliver’s “See Bush lie” style of writing and linking, but you should be able to handle it. Call your “lifeline”.
And you think I’m bored!
If you’re not going to comment, don’t visit…
Who needs a bunch of “Willis Wannabes” over there with nothing to say? Not me…

Consider:

Roosevelt did not oppose the US and British fire bombing of Tokyo and Dresden, therefore he is a war criminal who is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians

Roosevelt did not personally correct the intelligence failures that occurred after the Normandy landing and which allowed Germany to mount an major offensive during The Battle of the Bulge, therefore he is an incompetent bungler personally responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of Allied soldiers

Roosevelt did nothing during the 1930’s to prepare us for war; our military was so pitifully equipped that it took two years before we put anything into the air that could match the Japanese war planes, and we lost thousands of men on the ground in Europe because our light tanks were blown to bits by the German heavy tanks and artillery, therefore he is an incompetent bungler personally responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of Allied soldiers

Truman gave the order to nuke Japan, therefore he is a war criminal who is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese civilians

Truman did not oppose the execution - by hanging, certainly an inhumane and cruel punishment - of Nazi and Japanese leaders. In doing so, he gave his tacit approval to cruel, violent vigilante justice of a sort that would never be acceptable today

Neither Roosevelt or Truman ever admitted to the serious policy mistakes made by England, France, or the US during the 1920’s and 1039’s, and neither offered an apology to the German people for the way they were treated by the French and British after WWI, which was probably the single-most important root cause of WWII

Sixty years later we STILL have troops in Europe! And we still have troops in Japan! Obviously Truman had no exit strategy and therefore was a colossal failure at foreign policy; otherwise all our troops should have been home by Christmas 1948

See my point?

If George W. Bush did the same exact things that these two “heroes” did during WWII, would you consider him to be a hero too?

This says pretty much all you need to know about Frank D.

I suggest all us ignore his posts from now on.

At least Dugger has a sense of humor!

The gipper’s namesake eloquently stated of this administration, Politicians will stretch the truth. They’ll exaggerate their accomplishments, paper over their gaffes. Spin has long been the lingua franca of the political realm. But George W. Bush and his administration have taken “normal” mendacity to a startling new level far beyond lies of convenience. On top of the usual massaging of public perception, they traffic in big lies, indulge in any number of symptomatic small lies, and, ultimately, have come to embody dishonesty itself. They are a lie.”

This administration’s fraudulent rationales for this unjustified war culminate in broken bodies, broken spirits, and broken lives. The DLC crowd would have us to believe they could prosecute this imperialistic and hegemonic quest for petroleum supremacy better. It is a shallow and craven boast that needs to be vociferously denounced. As Democrats, we should stand for justice, which ultimately means we need to stand up for a complete withdrawal from Iraq, Globalization, the WTO, NAFTA, GATT and the whole racist framework of the new world order.

That liberals see the GWOT as simply a manhunt for one guy (Osama) shows just how right Karl Rove was.

You’re stupid. Please tell me you’re either 8 years old or mentally retarded, so I can feel some sympathy for you. Otherwise, you’re just plain stupid. Tojo was defeated on V-J day. Hitler died in the final days of WWII.

The AWOT (it’s Asian, not global, no matter how much cons like to delude themselves) is not a manhunt for one dude. But I remember this president saying, “The people who knocked down these buildings will hear from all of us soon!” I actually had a tear in my eye when I heard that. It was a rallying cry all of us could get pumped about. What happened? Well, we chased the people who knocked down those buildings around the desert for a year, installed a puppet government, declared that war done and went after someone who had nothing to do with knocking those buildings down.
