No mission.

Just larceny and death.

GravatarThank you everyone for your kind birthday words!


GravatarYurp.


GravatarHey!


GravatarAnd now it's off for the day! Bye!


GravatarSoon, the mission will be for chocolate.


Gravatar93 visitors, almost nobody's talking!


GravatarSupport our doops.


GravatarHappy B-Day to Halfdan (whose e-mail address contains neither "Half" nor "Dan"), and cat wrasslin'.

GravatarWow. I can so relate to that.


GravatarNow we know who the "mission creep" is.


GravatarNobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!


GravatarIs this a half birthday we're celebrating or the whole birthday?


GravatarHappy b'day halfdan


Gravatar500 some days it will change - until then Chimp-in-Chief will stall and the Dems will put up some weak challenge that the rigged Supreme Court will shoot down...things are not looking good.


GravatarSupport our doops.

Gravatarhalf a happy birthday!

Califano on CSpan reminding us Lady Bird did Head Start, not just flowers.


Gravatarsorry plantsman, I didn't mean 'just' flowers! nothing beats flowers.


GravatarOperation Sitting Lame Duck


GravatarHappy birthday to disappearing Halfdan!


GravatarChimpy, have you decided what to do should Petraeus report that our "mission" has failed? Or was the report written before he even went to Iraq?

Oh yeah? Well, Laura Bush did Xanax, not just double martinis.


GravatarHalfy Birthdan!


GravatarBush: “It’s a new mission. And David Petraeus is in Iraq carrying it out. Its goal is to help the Iraqis make progress toward reconciliation — to build a free nation that respects the rights of its people, upholds the rule of law, and is an ally against the extremists in this war.”

Huh.

That makes a lot of sense.


GravatarHalfdan,

Go get drunk for your birthday - it is the only responsible thing to do in George Bush's America.

(And sorry I missed it - I was in the shower - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and may all your wishes become reality and all your nightmares fade with the light of reason.)


GravatarOT, I know, and I'm too new at this to post links, but you must go read bloody bill kristol's sunday column for the Wa Po. Uneffingbelievable


GravatarI'm hoping everyone in America will watch this (if they missed it, last night).

GravatarWhere is Country Joe when you need him?


Gravatarbut the real mission is to have something to do when you are president that is tangible, like conducting a war.

These side issues like health care, the border, education, unemployment you can't ever say mission accomplished.

Notice the concepts mouthed by the preznit, as though the war were the only thing in our collective
life:

the war on terror
protecting the homeland
protecting our troops
spreading democracy for generations to come.

Let me guess: he's offering up "proof" that the world is, in fact, flat.

You mean it's not?


Gravatarand that shrub is just one great preznet.


GravatarFrom below, about EschaFair, it's Sept. 12 and I think you need to ask woody about it at http://www.walled-in-pond.blogspot.com/


GravatarOr was the report written before he even went to Iraq?
_______

Tried out several generals until he found one who would write the right report.

I like that our preznit resolves to follow everything his general says, as though General Petraes were the preznit.


GravatarI am out of here for a bit as well

Later, 'bats

Keep 'em flyin'

GravatarThanks Ruth, that would be Thirstyear festival?


GravatarMay i take a moment to remind you that the ORIGINAL name of the exercise was

Operation
Iraqi
Liberation

That has never changed.

GravatarAdvancing the ideal of democracy and self-government is the mission that created our nation — and now it is the calling of a new generation of Americans.” GWB [11/30/05]

Can someone please tell him to STFU?

Independence from Great Britain was the "mission" that created our country, then the Founding Fathers created a Constitution on which our democracy is based.

But Chimpy doesn't know the history of his own country, so that's why we get stupid, garbled, nonsensical "mission" statements from him.

Is he smarter than a 5th grader? No. How about wall mold?


GravatarThanks, Unca Smokes. You know, I am a total rube on compooters, but I am really impresssed by the helpful advice so kindly offered by commentors. Thanks again, ya'll rule!


Gravatarnew thread


Gravatarwall mold is a toss-up


GravatarBush: “It’s a new mission. And David Petraeus is in Iraq carrying it out. Its goal is to help the Iraqis make progress toward reconciliation--to build a free nation that respects the rights of its people, upholds the rule of law, and is an ally against the extremists in this war.”

It's a new mission. And the American People are on the blogs carrying it out. Its goal is to help their public servants progress toward reconciliation--to build a free nation that respects the rights of its people, upholds the rule of law, and is an ally against the extremists in this war.


GravatarRe the title of this thread: This is old news, but Country Joe & the Fish's 1, 2, 3, What Are We Fighting for? sounds remarkably like Kid Ory's Muskrat Ramble.


GravatarOur President -- a real mission creep.


GravatarBush: “It’s a new mission. And David Petraeus is in Iraq carrying it out. Its goal is to help the Iraqis make progress toward reconciliation — to build a free nation that respects the rights of its people, upholds the rule of law, and is an ally against the extremists in this war.”


Huh? Petraeus is there to help Iraq declare war on the US?

Worth a try I guess, makes about as much sense as anything else.
