Alireza:
“I hope you’ll consider my statement here as tough-love-kind of saying . Unlike some of you intellectually-challenged, I don’t name call people here.”
I guess you think we’re too “intellectually challenged” to spot the “idiot” behind your euphemism. I can only conclude that this statement was the product of serious cognitive dissonance.
Moving on to some of your actual content:
“8 Years of Republican leadership:
9/11 attack”
Did you seriously just blame 9/11 on the Republicans? Or are you arguing about what mistakes we made afterwards?
“STILL Bin Laden is sending video, text, and Youtube broadcasts from every mountain holes in Pakistan, who has EXCELLENT anti terrorism relationship with U.S.!!!! Is this a joke or what!!”
The real joke is that you think Pakistan has “excellent” anti-terrorism relations with the US. Who do you think stopped us from going into Pakistan? Hint: It wasn’t Bush and the eeevil Rethuglicans. It’s even more amusing that you think eliminating bin Laden should be a higher objective than incapacitating Al Qaeda. Argue about whether what was done was the best way to achieve the latter objective, sure, but don’t complain that the former wasn’t given precedence.
“Saudi Arabia is STILL a honey source of money for Bin Laden and its associates”
What do you suggest Bush should have done about this that he didn’t do? You recite a litany of problems, but provide no suggestions of better ideas.
“Bush “JUDGING” and “SENSING” Putin has soul and calls him his great buddy!!! And this 100%-soul is the guy who managed to attack Georgia, as he seat next to Bush in China!!! Wow! Everyday I become more impressed with Republican leadership and “VISION”! Give me more! Give me more!”
Gee, sounds like a good case for “Three letters: K.G.B” McCain. Bush was practically the only Republican who thought it was a good idea to say what he said, as was pointed out.
“These 8 years indeed made Iran much much stronger and allowed ultra right people to come to power, WITHOUT Bush this would not have happened. No wonder Ahmadinejad loves to come to U.S. every year to keep thanking Bush for his great policies.”
Gee, the Shah fell during Bush’s Presidency? Color me shocked for remembering such an insignificant year as 1979. I won’t contest that Iran has become stronger, but what do you expect when pursuing Sunni Al Qaeda?
“Deporting two U.S. ambassadors from Bolivia and Venezuela in span of few days and allowing Russian bombers stop in Venezuela for some beer and chit chat…Wow everyday I get more impressed with this 8 years of accomplishments!! McCain will only make it more exciting with some fireworks…”
If you paused to wipe the spittle from your mouth, you might notice that Venezuela and Bolivia deported them, not Bush. And it’s not like Bush had the power to magically stop the Russian bombers in their tracks. Again, you complain but provide no ideas on how to prevent what happened.
“Subprime mess! You know, I’m no Economist and no Fed chairman, but in 2005, I knew so well that hard-to-clean-stuff will hit the fan where so many millions of homes will be wasted, so I sold my house at the top of the market when everybody was buying! I didn’t use a calculator and didn’t read any stat from any banks. Yet, the Fed Chairman with ALL the info. and statistics could not see what is hitting the fan. Instead of prosecuting Greenspan, he is given Medal of Freedom, along with CIA director!!!!!”
Greenspan warned Congress, McCain warned Congress, Bush sponsored oversight legislation, and you’re blaming THEM for the mess?
“Katrina! Anything else I need to add? This took place under the watch of 8 years of Republicans!!! When President’s men have to make him a DVD to show him what is going on in U.S., this reminds me of Ahmadinejad denying killing Jews in WWII.”
Actually, this took place under the watch of the totally incompetent and corrupt Blanco and Nagin administrations, since it was their job to handle the effects of Katrina on their cities. Bush had 3 days to get involved; he took less than 2. Ask the Louisianians, who elected Jindal.
“Going into Iraq and managing it so far!! Need I say more?!!!”
Yes, otherwise there’s nothing to talk about. You think Iraq was a disaster, a quagmire, a war for oil, etc; I don’t. You’re not going to change any minds with one sentence.
“Afghanistan!! Opium, Taleban, any good news there?”
Another one-sentence, zero-substance remark. Try again.
“Budget deficit.”
Sounds like a good reason to elect McCain, since he’s all for spending cuts. I agree that Republicans, Democrats and Bush alike have all been spending like there’s no tomorrow for 8 years.
“U.S. economy. People’s income going down, while cost is going up”
Income is actually going up. And I’d like to hear your justification for why you blame the Republican administration for the economy’s downward trend.
“45 million people W/O Health insurance”
Only solvable if you think government-mandated health insurance is better. Another issue that’d take more than one sentence to resolve.
“Price of oil going from $20 to over $140 in 8 years”
And you complain that we haven’t been pressuring Saudi Arabia? Those are some unrealistic expectations you have there.
