02 May 08 - 06:18 PM (#2331562) Subject: BS: McCain = Bush term three? From: GUEST,Jack the Sailor Bearded Bruce wants me to support this assertion, I am happy to but I don't want to hog all the fun for myself. I will just point out the two most obvious points of convergence and let others pitch in if they wish. 1. He is running on the platform of continuing Bush's position on Iraq. He goes so far at to take credit for the current tactic called the "surge" which is causing so much distress for so many of our military families. As a continuation of the President's military stance McCain is OPPOSING the updating of the GI Bill. 2. He running on is continuing Bush's Tax Cuts. Tax cuts he opposed when the "straight talk express" talked much straighter. |

So might Hillary. I would not underestimate either one of them when it comes to further military adventures abroad. |

In-frikkin'-credible. Obama's probably afraid of losing some votes if he said he'd close it, Riginslinger. ;-) No US politician would dare to close an office of faith-based initiatives. It would be like not saluting the flag. |

02 May 08 - 09:00 PM (#2331671) Subject: RE: BS: McCain = Bush term three? From: Arkie According to figures used by Bush supporters defending the war and claiming that the war is not about oil, only 4% of petroleum used in this country was coming from Iraq. Could it be that this war is to protect the interests of American or Saudi investors in British Petroleum. |

From: Ebbie "In the name of fighting the 9-11 terrorists, the Bush administration overthrew the one Arab government most adamantly opposed to the Saudi financiers of that son of their system, Osama bin Laden. Instead of confronting the royal leaders of a kingdom that supplied 15 of the 19 hijackers, we invaded a nation that supplied not a single one. While Bush overthrew Saddam Hussein, who had no ties to the hijackers, he embraced the leaders of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the only three nations in the world that had diplomatically recognized and supported the Taliban sponsors of al-Qaida." Robert Scheer And McCain agrees with and supports a war begun with that rationale and in such circumstances? I've coined a truism: There is one way that elderly John McCain is younger than the dubya. He is a 'son of a Bush.' |
