GravatarMiddle of the road isn't going to end the war.

Oh, good morning.


GravatarWheeeeeeeee!

Never trust a study group with Lee Hamilton or Sandra Day O'Connor on it.


GravatarWell, there's independent, and then there's independent.


GravatarGreat. Not only has every freaking thing (except Liberia) Bush touched turned to shit, but Baker has caught this anti-Midas disease. I am not sure anyone expected anything better or more noble--all they had to do was look @ Baker's efforts in Florida's 2000 election.

GravatarDear Chimpy,

Concerning your talk about a "graceful exit" from Iraq. You may want to think about this:

"A bad beginning makes a bad ending." --Euripides


GravatarIraq Study Group = Idiots Saving Gonads


GravatarKittens!

Oh, and on topic, I have to day that insofar as policy is concerned, Saint Obama is well-nigh identical to Holy Joe Lieberman.


GravatarWill 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.

Bye, bye...


GravatarProbably a waste of time anyway since Bush has said he will ignore the recommendations if he doesn't agree with them.


GravatarGovernment by PR, so one has more time and better realtions for the backroom logrolling. That's the "Beltway Way"!

And btw, i am now renting out my power over Atrios to whomever wishes to make use of it. All i need do is get going on a conversational thread, and he is forced to proliferate threads. i can't see a use of this, but maybe you do.

so, i will continue this morning, and Atrios will put up thread after thread in an orgy of fragmentary ideas. You may all pay me now. Or, pay me to shut up so that he stops. whatever, i'm not picky......

GravatarAnd now, to redefine what a greatful exit is, here's Gerald Ford...

(Chevey Chase enters, stage right, falls on face)


GravatarThere was a strange interview on TV with Pelosi where the interviewer kept whining about civility. A large community of people who, under it all, know that they are bad at their jobs, values being nice to them over, for example, not sending the Army into the biggest military catastrophe in US history.


Gravatar(Heh, just learned that, with revisions, an old paper of mine might be published in a collection called "Sexual Perversions." I am proud.)


GravatarOh, and about that brouhaha on Barak's middle name--(a Publican operative brought it up). Quick--anyone. What's St. McCain's middle name?

Mitt Romney's? Rudy Giuliani's?

Right. See how important it was to tell people what Barak's middle name is?

(FYI: it's Hussein).


Gravatarwho is the last honest man again?


GravatarBush is trying to extort the Sauds now, the Iranian detente is a slap in the face to Baker and the ISG.

Cheney is their lapdog like Blair is a poodle.


GravatarCongrats, ror!

And now I'm going to lay down for a while too.


GravatarAnd now, to redefine what a greatful exit is, here's Richard Nixon:

(helicopter flies him away off into the distance......)


GravatarThat study group turned out to be all about not hurting the Emperor's feelings, as I pointed out on Thursday.

Helluva basis for foreign policy.


GravatarAnd now, to redefine what a graceful exit is, here's Ronnie Raygun... as is.

Ahem. "lie down," you mean.

Gravatari do not make Vietnam comparisons. i made some back around Mission Accomplished and go so lambasted as a traitor that i don't make such anymore.

But were i a commie mutant traitor, i might point out that the last 2-3 years of the Vietnam conflict were devoted to finding a 'graceful exit', the result was an optomistic 'stay-the-course-and-things-will-get-better' plan, and the result was overloaded helicopters taking off from the Saigon embassy with the desperate trying to cling to the landing skids.

But these guys are so much smarther than the leaders back then, uh huh.

Shows you how much I've been paying attention to the ISG, I had wiki it to find out that Lawrence fucking Eagleburger had replaced Gates.


GravatarThanks 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.


GravatarMcCain's middle name is Hussein? Well there goes the nomination.

Actually, I wonder what would become of his chances if the press started calling him "John Sidney McCain the Third."


GravatarChristian means 'anointed one'.

If you look at the recipe for anointing oil, it has something like 9 kilos of "fragrant cane" as part of the recipe. Fragrant cane's other name is cannabis. You bet your sweet bippy that after anointment, you'd see god fer sure.


GravatarBaker 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.

GravatarNot to wreck everyone's Saturday morning, but this MF needs more than 6 months behind bars.


Gravatarthis panel is a joke. it's insulting to see the commentary on what a distinguished group it is. none of these people are experts in iraq; they're all political operatives of one stripe or another. ed meese; cliff may; leon panetta; sandra day oconnor; etc etc ... and most of all -- the fixerman himself, james baker, bush bagman and saudi consigliere.

and isn't it interesting in all the fawning press coverage of james baker, you never ever hear reference to his representation of the saudi government against the 9/11 families. fat tim, woof, tweety -- none of them ever mentions little detail. wonder why.


GravatarShows you how much I've been paying attention to the ISG,

Is that bad? From the moment of its inception i have dismissed it as a PR exercise, intended to find a way to sugarcoat a turd so that all will stay status quo - until the 2008 elections allow the blaming of the newbies instead of the powers that shat the turd.

Are they doing substantive things? As in, recognizing that wars are won or lost, and there is no 'graceful exit' for leaving a hopeless FUBAR? Or was my original belief valid?

Good point (surprised as that came from moi?) [wink, wink]

It's either that or the ISG realizes that Bootsy is an incorrigible punk brat that throws a temper tantrum everytime someone asks him when we're going to get out of Iraq so the former is trying to come up with something the brat will pay attention to.

Or not. It's probably just more of the same.

The MSM made much fun of Baghdad Bob's hysterical praises of Saddam's defensive efforts, even as the tanks were crashing through the palace walls. "What a silly person" the verdict.

and yet, all those media stories mocking ol' Bob, aren't they like the hysterical rants against homosexuals, from the closeted who have not come to terms with themselves?

The American MSM is no different from Baghdad Bob in final analysis...they just haven't quite reached the point where the tanks are crashing their palace walls.

Gravatarrealistically, 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.

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.

I think Eraserhead Bushboy is doing a pretty good job of that.

Not that the rightwingnuts or the MSM seem to notice.


GravatarDaniel 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.


Gravatarthe 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.
.


GravatarIsn'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.
