FLIP FLOP.

Oh. Ok someone undoubtedly said that before.

Hah.

Ugh.

--UB.

So...Gates is the Sec. of Defense, yet he doesn't get to go to Defense meetings. Petraeus is running our war in Iraq....but not really. Bush however, is the decider...and probably hasn't even won a game of Risk in his life.

Once again, a Huffington Post headline that QUOTES something that wasn't said. Shameful.

Be sure to watch Alive Day Memories on HBO Sunday at 10:30p.m.

Wes Clark told Bush to stop hiding behind David Petraeus --I suspect that may have something to do with this announcement once again that he is the decider. This is the guy kicking ass, like he is an old time experienced marine, but who is hiding behind the general for fear his "legacy" will be further damaged if for some reason, the general does not deliver--I think we should keep up the imperative--stop hiding behind the general, little Georgie--

I think it was Mark Crispin Miller who said that Bush will react strongly, possibly blowing it, whenever his "manhood"(imagined by him) is questioned. Thus we now see the "decider" and thus we cringe at the tough guy kick ass comment--reacting to Clark and others like a ten year old.

Pure and simple:

Bait and switch.

Hasn't that been then pattern all along?

When history takes a look back at the present time, they will see the first time in our nation's historty when all three branches of government became dysfunctional.

Hey democrats, you're supposed to be the 'opposition' party. Is there an elected official is your party with the BALLS to take on this punk fascist? Or are they all Girlie Men?

This is just another change the story moment from Bolten and the Wite House.

More spin. More lies.

This president has lost ALL credibility with Americans.

It is a pretty sad day when you cannot trust anything the President says.

Love Bolten's comment about Bush being in, "receive mode," like he's not able to do 2 things at once.

What a embarassment for our country! And the scariest part is . . . he's still got till Jan. 2009 to fuck up even MORE shit!!

No, apparently he's The Decider's Biaaatch. It's Go Time, General......time to REALLY stand up for your troops.

TELL THE TRUTH, there's honor left in it.

Who is this Bolten asshole to be dictating who is what?

Dumbyah is NOT the decider...get it through his bungling brain.

STUTTGART, Germany -- A U.S. intelligence intercept of suspicious communications between Pakistan and Stuttgart was the initial break that ultimately led to the arrest this week of three suspected Muslim militants accused of plotting massive car-bomb attacks here against Americans, U.S. and German officials told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday.

The communications detected last year referred to apparent terrorist activity and were specific and alarming, said the German and U.S. officials, who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

Deciderata

Go arrogantly amid the noise and waste,
and remember what profit there may be in war.
As far as possible with false agendas
be on good terms with all profiteers.
Speak your lies loudly and stubbornly;
and don't listen to others,
the dull and the ignorant;
compose your coterie.

Cultivate loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the electorate.
You have compared yourself with others,
and become vain and bitter;
for most will be smarter and nobler persons than
yourself.
Employ connivance and defamation in all your plans

Keep interested in your own career, however ignoble;
and remember Halliburton's profits in the changing fortunes of
time.
Exercise bluster in your business affairs;
for you remain full of trickery.
and let this blind you to what virtue there is.
Many persons strive for high ideals;
and you must negate their good with fears of terrorism.

Be a sham.
Especially, be an affliction.
which no good man could love;
for in the face of all pain and disenchantment
you remain perennially crass.

Take not kindly the counsel of the Congress,
disgracefully shatter the dreams of youth.
Employ patsies to shield you in sudden misfortune.
and try to divert others with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of lies and emptiness.
Indulge your lack of discipline
and eat another pretzel.

You are a moron of the universe,
much less than the trees and the stars;
you have forfeited your right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe will have the last laugh.

Therefore be afraid of God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your lies and delusions,
in the noisy confusion of life He is judging your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
you have made it an uglier world.
Be ashamed
and have another drink.
