It has been proven time and time again, the bully is the coward.

That's why we can't pull out of Iraq, right or wrong we're there and have to finish the job. Of course if it was left up to some people we would cut and run like Vietnam or Somalia.

No, Scalito officially made Chimp a dictator, for two reasons....

1) With a right wing dominionist, Opus Dei dominated corporatist court, any illusion of "checks and balances" in Washington DC ceased to exist.

2) Scalito endorses the fascist and blatantly unconstituitional idea of a "unitary executive", which renders the other two branches of government useless anyway.

Well, I think Wal-Mart being able to level my house to build a huge store is unconstitutional, but apparently the libs on the court didn't think so.

Thanks for narrowing down the specifics.

And let's stop this Chavez bashing already.

Chavez was elected twice (which is more than I can say for certain primates) is popular with his people (who resisted an attempted CIA coup), and has offerred to supply oil to the poor in this country, which is far more than the Chimp - who has friends in the oil industry - ever thought of doing.

I have no problems with Chavez. And I proudly filled my tank with CITGO gas yesterday

Is this the guy you support down there, FORD?

"Internally, Chavez has already rewritten the constitution, stacked the courts and begun throwing political opponents into jail. And some say he is now looking beyond Venezuela's borders. With billions of dollars in oil profits, Chavez is buying advanced Russian fighter planes and helicopters, dramatically increasing the size of his armed forces and integrating it with Cuba's."

I thought you were against this sort of thing, since you accuse Bush of doing similar things. I guess it's OK if it's not on our turf, right?

If Chavez is building up his military, it's only because the BCE keeps trying to overthrow his government, and he's probably guessing that an invasion will follow eventually.

The BCE already tried to float the absolute rubbish that "Al Qaeda" operatives were in Venezeula. Not even the usual right wing bleating sheep bought that one, so they dropped it in a hurry, only to replace it with the "Chavez is Castro" myth.

Venezuela has a huge pool of oil. That makes them a BCE target.

By the way, you didn't list a source for that right wing spew.

Good God, how the hell did the topic get changed to this crap AGAIN?

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thinks we're a "bully"

America should not gratuitously welcome such dislike; but we should not apologize to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for it either. Sometimes the caliber of a nation is found not in why it is liked, but rather in why it is not.

Yeah, and Hussein was 'democratically elected' as well, garnering a record 99.96% of the vote, back in 1995.

Must have had Diebold.

Or we'd bankrupt the Imperial treasury by being the "world's policeman."

In fact, one can make a good argument that the US presence exacerbates the insurgency among the fiercely nationalistic Iraqis.

"We cut and run" in Vietnam? I thought the corrupt South Vietnamese shills 'cut and run' when they lost their civil war with the North, just like it's now up to the three Iraqi ethnic factions to work out their differences... NIXON pulled out by turning the War over to the Vietnamese themselves to fight, and they lost it...

And we are pulling out of Iraq, just slowly so we lose additional people killed in the Imperial fuck up (without admitting it)... So what will happen if we "cut and run?" Or speed up the withdrawl and abandon the idea of setting up permanent basis to guard "our" oil? Seems like it's more about "saving face" than anything...So US troops are dying for a failing plan, that is clearly not working as the situation continually worsens on the ground and the country only becomes more and more insecure.

The British knew when it wasn't worth it, at least they did the first time...
