5. And why are still friends with our "allies"....
Saudi Arabia. I think the doctrine says something about funding, feed, or shelter a terrorist blah blah blah.....

6. Better yet
Why did Jim Baker defend Saudi Arabia in a lawsuit filed by American families of 9/11 victims?

11. I know what a bunch of hypocrites....
And Bakker lied about how we saved the "Saudi's Bacon". When it was clear that Saddam had no intentions of attacking SA, plus they ignored the warnings for Saddam, and cooked up satellite intelligence. They are nothing more than lying war criminals.

17. The sheeple are in a deep trance and aren't likely to ever
wake up. They are victims of extreme mind control. And we are victims of the victims which sucks.

3. More Mideast Violence = Proof that Bush was right
That seems to be the latest meme from Bushco Bizarro World.

4. I saw that over in Freeperville
Where ARE these emerging democracies all over the ME anyway? Or are the other ME just making placating noises because Bush scares the living shit out of them, the old "mad dog" defense ala Nixon. Only this time the dog really is mad, and they know it.

Oh this can't be good.

7. What "doctrine"? I thought we were defending America?
Now, we're spreading Democracy?! Hey, how did that napalm get on my shovel? Depleted uranium? Whoops!

The Bush doctrine is working on the corporate media. The Middle East is another story.

8. "Tipping Point" is another one.
I heard some babbler explaining that "Bush Doctrine" has been replaced by "foreign policy" which demonstrates that the Bush Doctrine has now become accepted as mainstream.

20. Keith Olbermann DID NOT "buy it"; I neatly dispatched that canard...
... last night, in another thread that ultimately got locked.

Go look. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3202117

They used paraphrases to make their case; I used actual quotes to dismantle it.

12. We all need deprogramming.
Casual Observer is right. And, wasn't it also reported today that Bin Laden is encouraging al Zwahari (sp?) to attack the US directly?

So, you better hope the Bu$sh "doctrine" is working?

(While we weren't looking, Frist said forget it, we're not doing Social Security right now. Rumfeld is being sued by 7 or 8 9/11 rounded up guys whose attorneys got their hands on 400 tapes of mistreatment including torture in Brooklyn and Europe doeesn't seem to be falling all over itself to kiss fake cowboy @ss. )

Order of smoke and mirrors to go, please.

14. Anyone remember plate spinning?
You know, where you get as many plates spinning on top of slim sticks as possible. BushCo's got a mess of plates spinning at the moment. And they just keep adding more.

The image to keep in mind is how the trick ends. :evilgrin:

15. it's Lebanon
Nightline and the pundits are saying the overturning of the Lebanese government is due to the Iraq War and Bush's march to promote "freedom" in the Middle East. I'd like to see some actual evidence that the two are related. I can't help but wonder if the US didn't stage the assassination of the former PM themselves. Obviously I can't know that for sure, but our government has done similar things in the past.

18. There is no "Bush Doctrine" , only a "Bush Plot" to plunder as
much of the world's riches as possible. Bush and Hitler are similar in their desire to rule the world. The biggest difference between the two is that Bush is part of the Bush Crime Cartel, a powerful and longstanding criminal operation that has the support of all the branches of the U.S. Govt., the British Crown and Intelligence, plus other wealthy fascists around the world. Hitler was an illegitimate child and a former paper hanger with no external support. When the war went badly for Hitler, his operations failed.
Bush, on the other hand, has some of the most powerful allies in the world, backing him up at every turn.
