ah... oh wait... this isn't a laughing matter. This ******* killed thousands of soldiers because he didn't listen to Gen Powell, didn't want to NOT go in there and didn't want to have a strong showing at the beginning.

Nope, lets bomb them, roll in... mission acomplished...

no WDM? No biggie, we got congress and the american people by the *****...

oh ****! Al Quaeda showed up? ****, now what do we do?! Damn, we're getting hosed... afghanistan? **** that hell hole, iraq is where the oil is dammit. send in teh surge!


and we're STILL there. And we want to be there until 2015?!? Iraq wants us out by 2011 at the latest... But lets just ignore the iraqi people:



Who want us out, like, years ago!!

but **** them too right? cause it's not like it's their country anymore... It's a ****ing insurgent infested commonwealth of the US, and we made it that way.

I still remember on of the comments on the daily show...

Corespondent: Bush knows that he can't go down in history as the best president, instead he is going to try to go down in history as the...

John: ... worst president?

Corespondent: No john, the last.

Bush is a dolt.
But he hasn't killed nearly as many soldiers as JFK & LBJ did under very similar circumstances.
Well, at least not yet.....

Silly n00b....

The cracks in the economy started the summer of '99, when the tech bubble went pop.
All those ding dongs that were artificially inflating dot com stocks then shifted over to the housing markets, and oil futures, etc.

Bush did not cause this mess, but he certainly has done **** to fix it.

Instead of bailing out the very companies that ****ed everything up, that $700 billion could have given every person in the USA about $2300.

Now that could have stimulated the economy....

dont make me pwn you. giving everyone in the US $2300 right now would just increase Visa's share price as people pay down the debt they carry. and the dotcom crash didnt cause this.

If I'm wrong..which is most likely the case...please correct me.
I suggest the 2300 dollar payment as an alternative to paying Big Business; nothing will really change except that people will get back their money.

I don't believe Paul is saying the .com crash was the root cause. He's saying that the .com boom was artificial. When it crashed, the housing market was the new money maker, so that became a huge artificial bubble primed to burst.

Bush did not start or cause this mess, but his administration basically dismissed any predictions that the housing market was going to collapse if nothing was done.

$2300 would've gone a long way for me, I'll tell you that much. Whether it's debt, or helping me get some new camera gear for a business i'm starting, it'd have gone a long, long way.
