60. haibane: General Shinseki gave Pretzylnitwit Bu$h excellent advice.Mr Bu$h ignored and fired General Shinseki. This was one of the major factors in creating the ” Mess In Mesapotamia” ( ignoring the fact there was no reason to go to war in Iraq, an unnecessary war that caused many thousands of innocent people to die only because they were in Iraq – and has made the USA and the world less safe )….. You say you doubt “ANY” of the cadets are intellectually lazy.THAT is absurd on it’s face. If you cannot find at least ONE lazy cadet at West Point – YOU are lazy ! ….. I agree with “haibane” on one point – “One persons opinion of what he saw does not automatically create a general consensus”, but I would say : “one persons opinion on what he THINKS he saw does not create a consensus”(notice how my version is concise and correct)….. OK, moving right along – Godwin’s Law -sometimes, I might agree with Godwin’s Law, but only when it is correctly applied. In the case of the Bush family/crime dynasty(take your pick) it does NOT apply. Viz. In Oct.1942 Prescott Bush (GW Bush’s grandfather/der Gottvater) was managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. On Oct. 20, 1942, the US government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush, under the trading with the enemy act, the US government took over the Union Banking Corp., in which Prescott Bush was a director. ….. Now, I am sure a lot of you conservatives will say the US goverment should not interfere in free trade. But, I say, sometimes to protect our country the government has to step in. Even if the Bush family ( which I highly respect) is involved…..In conclusion, I can only say, I have the highest respect for Pretzylnitwit Bu$h, who did so little and earned so much ! He is an inspiration to slackers all over the world. God Bless America, and don’t spare the cheese. We’ll catch you on the downside, Bushbaby. Or as they say – what, goes around, comes around.
