Will the ISG have color coded withdrawal signals?
Answer: No(/McGlaughlin)
The reason is no matter how long our presence, or when we leave, the budget and blood lost on current accounts in the red.
Probably a waste of time anyway since Bush has said he will ignore the recommendations if he doesn't agree with them.

Thanks to Bushboy's "asinine neglect" of the Palestinian/Israeli situation it has deteriorated to probably it's most dangerous levels since the 1967 war. Ditto Lebanon/Israel.
Thanks to Bushboy's "pre-emptive invasion" policy in Iraq, that situation has degenerated into a civil war that will cause the Middle East to be even more volatile and violent than previously thought possible.
Thanks to Bushboy's tax cuts and laissez faire business policies, US budget and trade deficits are at all time and unsustainable highs. The US dollar continues to drop in value in a free fall against other currencies.
America should "thank" Bushboy by exiling him for life to Baghdad (or the Gaza strip) and insist he live on his government pension, as he watches it decline in value.

Baker is not a superman he is made out to be. Remember the time Bush appointed him as a special ambassador or something to talk to Arab and other countries and get them to forgive old Iraqi loans? He was given a special plane and everything. He toured the world with much fanfare and got nothing, absolutely nothing. In fact, he got an exemption for Kuwait from that deal - in other words, Kuwait will not forgive their claims against Saddam. This was so because Kuwait was Carlyle group's client. They invested about a billion in Carlyle after Baker's trip. He actually did his private business on govt's dime.

'A state audit is underway to determine why some 18,000 ballots in Sarasota County did not show votes in a race ultimately decided, by a mere 369 votes, in favor of the Republican candidate. Did voters intentionally opt not to cast a vote? Did the electronic voting machines malfunction? Or, was it simply, as many believe, a case of a badly designed ballot that made it easy to overlook the Democratic candidate?'

realistically, compromise in which the many can claim vistory is THE way the US government works and is supposed to work. Its not efficient, nor does it result in the best course of action, but its the only way to achieve any action.
Had the bushliar-criminal regime worked from the outset in the normal manner of compromise, instead of the hubristic 'my way or the highway' manner in which it did, it is unlikely that the invasion of Iraq would have occurred.

He toured the world with much fanfare and got nothing, absolutely nothing. In fact, he got an exemption for Kuwait from that deal - in other words, Kuwait will not forgive their claims against Saddam. This was so because Kuwait was Carlyle group's client
Hmm. It's pretty hard not to see the second sentence here as causal to the first. Can you imagine the chutzpah it takes to go around the world asking people to forgive debts that you yourself do not intend to forgive? The nerve! I hope they gave him the bum's rush and threw thier garbage out the door after him.

Doctors aren't chaplains
The misguided effort to meld religion and medicine.
By Richard P. Sloan
RICHARD P. SLOAN, director of the behavioral medical program at Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Psychiatric Institute, is the author of "Blind Faith: The Unholy Alliance of R
December 2, 2006
HOW WOULD you like your doctor, at your next examination, to ask not only about your diet and symptoms but about your spiritual life?
How would you like your surgeon to ask, while you're on the gurney ready to be wheeled in for an operation, if you'd mind if he says a quick prayer?
Or if he suggested that perhaps you should?
These questions are not farfetched these days. A concerted effort is underway to make religious practices part of clinical medicine. About two-thirds of U.S. medical schools now offer some form of training on the role of religion and spirituality in medicine, according to Dr. Harold Koenig of Duke University.
With support from the National Institutes of Health, researchers are now studying the effect of third-party prayer on cancer patients. Research on the connection between religious activity and cardiac health was published in the Lancet, one of the top peer-reviewed medical journals. The John Templeton Foundation, whose annual prize on spiritual discoveries exceeds the amount of the Nobel Prize in medicine, has funded dozens of medical researchers, some at top-tier institutions, who claim an association between religious devotion and better health.
Some prominent physicians are calling for the wall of separation between religion and medicine to be torn down. They declare that the future of medicine is prayer and Prozac, and they recommend that doctors take a "spiritual history" during a patient's initial visit and annually thereafter. Walter Larimore, an award-winning physician, for instance, has declared that excluding God from a consultation should be grounds for malpractice.

Mitt Romney is a supercilious, super-religious, sycophant for the right.
He's a typical Gooper. Incompetent (indifferent?) at government, deceitful (he was for "pro-choice" before he was against it) and dangerously ambitious ("rapacious" would not be hyperbole).
All three of the Gooper front runners (McCain, Giuliani and Mitt) are abominations.

Maybe it's just me, but I think knowing there's a difference between draperies and drapes is kinda gay.
SteveLG, proudly pre 9/11
"raperies" is the noun. "Drapes" is the verb.
Being an English teacher married to an interior designer is apparently gay.

FReeper sez MO is like the real America:
Last weekend I was in southern MO. In the lovely town of Bolivar, I went to a light show put on by local folks in a city park. about 75% of the displays were religious in nature and even the local Chevy dealer put the inscription "Let Jesus Drive Your Life" up in lights. It was fantastic and so much like the real America. The multiculturalists have to erase America, first, before they can recreate it in the socialist mode.
All we gotta do is cut the power, pal, just like we did to that smelly manger where Jesus was born.

I vote for either re-opening Yuma Territorial Prison, or just sticking with Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary - useta live just down the road from the pen, and it was always nice to see the buffalo grazing on the grounds, the festive holiday decorations this time of year, the creche..... I was always sure that the inmates really appreciated the season.

MOE: i missed Rae's speech last night cause i was watching Olbermann! But i saw bits of it later. Indeed he looked very confortable when Ignatieff played it super safe in his. The fun part for the lower candidates is that they are RIGHT NOW in real time dealing and scheming to get a future cabinet post in exchange of their support. There hasn't been a convention like that since Chrétien beat Martin 15 years ago.

The interesting thing, to me, about Johnny Cash, is that i have heard people from the hills of Kentucky to the hills of San Francisco saying that he's cool. That's a broad span of American culture.
My maternal grandmother, who was miserable most of the time, no doubt due to having lived a hardscabble lived-through the-depression-with-seven-hungry children-to-feed life with my disabled (gassed in WWI) alcoholic grandfather, turned me on to Johnny Cash when I around five or six. "He's real people, like our folks" is how she described him.

Daniel Schorr, on NPR this morning, gave the George Will version of Webb's exchange with Bush--only more truncated!
Began by saying Webb snubbed Bush at a WH reception by saying to Bush that how his son is doing in Iraq is between his son and himself.
No mention of avaoiding the photo line (it apparently was not just a reception line, if that; it was the line for getting your photo taken with the BoyKing!). No mention of Bush seeking Webb out and asking how his son was doing. No mention of Webb replying that he wanted to get his son (did he also say others?) home from Iraq. No mention of BushBoy saying "That's not what I asked you," etc.
Schorr was trying to make the point that Bush is going to have a far less sycophantic, lockstep Congress--but, Danny Boy!, you swallowed the MCM/RNC talkingpoint version.
Oh, yeah, it's what get talked about inside the Beltway, the MCM version....
While somewhat muted, even Dan Schorr picked up the RNC talking point that Dems are "incivil." And Webb is a really uncontrolled/unconttrollable Dem. Wow.

the problem in the US is not bipartisan compromise. The problem is that for a generation, the left has been shut out of national dialogue with US corporate media only treating seriously, discussion among the extreme right and slightly less extreme right. The outcome has been that the extreme right buried the slightly less extreme right.

Isn't it funny that the right-wingers and pseudo-moderates are calling for bipartisanship now after they've been pushing an ultra-partisan right-wing agenda all these years.
It's like they're all saying, "please, please, don't be as much to us as we were mean to you all these years. We're all for bipartisanship now although we were against it before."
A majority of U.S. citizens have spoken. The failures of the right-wing agenda for our democratic society must be addressed, and U.S. citizens will NOT be fooled by vacuous calls for bipartisanship by those who have done so much damage to our democracy, to our military and to our standing in the world.
