Liar's club

MR posted about Hillary standing by her decision to blame the President Bush. She "can" use this defense as long as people nod and agree. Sad to say, the President is not infalable, but he is held to a higher standard, fair or not, than most other people. He is the leader of the free world. He holds a significant title and responsiblity. He is held to higher standards.

Most people don't like war. It is unpopular. Regardless or moral rightness to defeat "the hun", leading people into war is a bad political move.

Americans were less against Afghanistan than Iraq, because there was a direct link between Al Quada in Afghanistan and the September 11th attacks.

The buyer's remorse on voting for war on Iraq is not interesting, but typical. Again, what the whole bill that was passed isn't clear. What is clear is that the bill directing war with the terrorist regime, some of which is in Iraq was signed.

Unlike any previous war declaration, there is a borderless entitity, as it were, of terrorists that don't have Islamistan as a territory. This doesn't make it any clearer or more correct to the average Joe to say ... okay, get the group.

Because there is not Islamistan to bomb quickly, troops are spread out and trying to fight undesignated people like in Vietnam. Vietnam was poorly executed on a number of different levels. There were lessons to be learned there and in the Kuwait war. Somalia should have taught other lessons.

Here America is the number one supporter of the war. We have no one else to fall back on to help us. We knew that going in. Since we thumbed our noses at other who would not help us then, we don't have their support now. We won't get it.

Going back to the beginning, politicians backpeddle and lie. Really? That's shocking! Politicians claiming they were duped, unbelievable. Politicians aren't to be trusted? I can't hardly stand it. Really?

The next thing you'll write is that the U.N. is corrupt and is full of self-serving politicians. That would never be.

Politicians lie. They all lie. I don't like politicians. Why write that they shock you that they lie? Why would anybody be shocked that die-hards believe liars? "I want to believe" is the motto, not only of X-Filers but of die hards for politicians and politics and parties. They want to believe and are then have to defend that person or their faith in that person.

Hillary, bad choice. Obama, bad choice. While Bill Clinton didn't have business ties to give favors to, he never met a dollar he didn't like. He'd lie to get another nickel or power.

Yes, I noted my favor of his Presidency, but he was a schiester. He was a more open liar and obsessed with power. I think the economy being better during his presidency was the "carrot".

He might have "missed his chance to kill Osama", but I don't know what he knew. He didn't put a whole load of troops into a war that brought more American hostilities (or worsened them). I think, this is why I think of the years favorably.

Clinton is a liar, power-hungry, but I felt safe and we weren't engaged in a very complex war. Our economy was good and had war been inevitable, I'm sure that he would have cheesed over people and charasmatically charmed them into his thinking. Therein is his power. Clinton probably could have talked his way into getting other countries to join the war.

He would have had a long discusion about it with committees, probably wasting much time.

Politicians will lie to make themselves "look" better. How else can they get elected, re-elected, and do the talk circuit and book deals? The problem with American has been said, "too many lawyers". If you take a look at the government, what is the percentage of congress and senate that are lawyers? I think you understand what I mean.

I wouldn't want them to not know the law, but clearly knowing and following are not the same. "What do you mean by taking the bribe money out of my freezer that you saw, on video, me take?" We need to held government to higher standards, not just the President, but people's claim is ... America doesn't need a whole lot of change.

I disagree.
