Now that the danger's almost over...

[p_p_man]

do you think Bush will start visiting the Middle East again and let Tony come home?

I miss our home grown boy and he's got so much to do having neglected most of it globetrotting For His Master's Voice.

Come to think of it why didn't Bush visit the area himself during the "war"?

RE: Now that the danger is almost over

Thinking that the danger is almost over is a very optimistic outlook. I hope that you are right. I fear we have just stirred a hornet's nest.

Optimistic indeed, but I'm not sure that was the real thrust of the post.

Since when have I went by the "thrusts" of posts? ~laughing~ I prefer my thrusts to come from other sources.

Blair was in Afghanistan? I know the French are sending two guys, but I didn't hear about Tony.

Do you really believe the danger is almost over?


What happened to your stance of a few weeks ago? the one in which tony was galavanting because he wanted to further his career/image as a statesman? now gw is forcing him to be out there, and needs to 'let' him come home?

gw wasn't over there because it isn't the president's job to be on the front lines during a war. not to mention the fact that it would just be stupid. if your PM chooses to spend his time overseas in a time of immense prosperity and good times (as you have said England is enjoying), how is that our fault?

Touche', Power. I'll bear that in mind.

Tsk, Tsk...

WriterDom You didn't read the title again. Middle East I said and Middle East I meant...

pagancowgirl "gw wasn't over there because it isn't the president's job to be on the front lines during a war."

Did I mention front lines?

 

[Calamity Jane]

damn me! here is was thinkin that in saying 'the area' you meant a specific area...

exactly which area were you referring to? not that it would have been smart for him to be anywhere near the middle east during the past couple months.

 

[p_p_man]

The last time I looked the Middle Eat is still regarded as an area. What part don't you understand?

 

[Calamity Jane]

*sigh* I suppose I just didn't understand the randomness your thoughts have taken this time...

First, Tony has taken it upon himself to pack his bag and save the world.

Now George is forcing him to act on the US' behalf

And I find it incredibly hard to understand how anyone, with any concept of history or the workings of government would think that sending the leader of a country that has been directly attacked into 'the area', was a good idea.

Churchill was a fairly regular visitor to war zones in Northern Africa and Normandy.

But then he was a real man!

Yeah and our president was a crippled at the time with Polio kind of sucks for him.

Afganistan is not really the middle east. It is Asia. The people living in Afganistan are not Arabic and for the most part don't speak Arabic.

In the broad geographic sense the Middle East is considered to be part of Asia, but it really should not be.

And Roosevelt ran the war and led us through the depression from a goddamn wheelchair.

What's your point? Oh, forgot...there isn't one. My bad.

Thanks Azzie. We cross-posted.

How could i forget? silly me. gw, mr no real military experience, should be out there behaving like churchill... yeah. smart.

do me a favor p_p_ ... remeind where Britian's leader was when another George in another time was kickin ass? France?

Now your talking! Roosevelt was a man anyone could admire.

It's a pity the British Government didn't follow his "New Deal" idea instead of relying on outdated and out moded solutions to sove the Depression.

Solutions like "We must all tighten our belts until these terrible time are passed"

Nobody saw our leaders getting thinner...

Now Roosevelt. Definitely a winner...

He was not a well man at the time...

So King george was a nut, and you maintain a monarchy who's only purpose is to suck the treasury dry, and you insist on ridiculing our leadership?

I see no conflict in commenting on people, institutions and events in different ways at different times.

But then I don't religiously follow dogma.
