    That’s like trivializing medicine because it’s a bunch of rules

    No they didn't.. Bush is a very likable man, but he's not brilliant.. His invasion of Iraq was pure stupidity.

    Oddly enough I have no intention of telling a leftist much about my background.

    And Trump is whipping their asses which is leaving them perpetually puzzled.

    Now these clowns think they can spin of Roseanne and keep the hit series.... ask the NFL how that kindof crap works.

    They Like This "Resistance!" Crap

    The New York Times seemed puzzled by the Republican reaction to the Resistance. Instead of serving as a wedge between President Trump and the party, the Resistance serves as an adhesive.

    "Progressives" also may be surprised to learn the Resistance is a turn off for their supporters as well.

    The Times reported.

    "But Ms. Anders, 46, a Republican from suburban Loudoun County, Va., with a law degree, a business career, and not a stitch of Make America Great Again gear in her wardrobe, is moved to defend him anyway."
    That makes no sense to the resistance clowns.

    The Times approach to Trump supporters was laughably offensive. It reported,

    "In interviews across the country over the last few days, dozens of Trump voters, as well as pollsters and strategists, described something like a bonding experience with the president that happens each time Republicans have to answer a now-familiar question: 'How can you possibly still support this man?'"​

    Buried in Paragraph 26 was the answer, from John Westling, 70, of Princeton, Minnesota, who said:

    "Let’s see. Economy booming, check. Unemployment down, check. Border security being addressed, check. Possible end to the Korean War that started when I was 3 years old, 68 years ago, check."​

    1. The Resistance comes from the top down. The Tea Party was more organic and sincere.

    2. The celebrities are not helping the Resistance in part because of all the baggage they carry. We laugh when an actress who shed her clothes in a film and had simulated sex on camera complains that the President Trump used the P-word. The all-too casual use of vulgarity undermines the message.

    3. The attacks are personal. What is the issue besides that they refuse to accept the 2016 election?

    4. The focus is not on any issue. The Resistance simply is against everything President Trump does. He figured out more than a year ago how to work this to his advantage. The Resistance now opposes tax cuts, a booming economy, and peace in Korea. The Resistance also now supports MS-13 and open borders.

    5. President Trump has proved them wrong. He is not Hitler. In no way, shape, or form is he. The pile of profane pejoratives is staggering. Calling him a **** holster and his daughter the C-word on national television makes him the victim, and totally blows away any argument that he is a despot because if he were both Stephen Colbert and Samantha Bee would be pushing up daisies.

    6. The Tea Party was American. The Resistance was French.

    Alas, as part of the Resistance, the New York Times cannot look at their position objectively. The Times staff is setting itself up for an unpleasant November Surprise -- again.

    Yes the scholars at Stanford University here in CA did say Bush was very intelligent.
    If you knew a thing about the Iraq invasion, that was the work of General Tommy Franks and his top planners. Bush had given Franks the green light to do it as Franks so pleased. Bush was smart enough to understand that presidents do not make good war planners with a couple of exceptions. Such as Eisenhower and Grant.

    Few wars were won as quickly as was Franks invasion of Iraq.

    Look at the warm way Gen. Franks treated his troops.

    The Iraq invasion was promoted by the dual citizen neocons of the PNAC, Bush and Cheney.. and it unbelievable that they were all so ignorant of the outcome of destroying the Dual Containment policy.

    The invasion of Iraq was one of the most stupid foreign policy blunders of the past 50 years.

    Meet the generals who opposed the Iraq war.

    I just watched the film with Tom Cruise and Meryl Streep and Robert Redford as the headlining stars in the flick called Lions for Lambs which clearly is a Democratic party message movie.

    We are supposed to learn how college protesters and protesting media are far too smart to be fooled.

    Cruise points out the public, from the media to the pundits to the politicians all fully backed Iran and Afghanistan so why is Streep acting offended?

    Streep was willing to lose her job due to her editor putting down his foot and telling her to report the facts and leave out her opinion. She got angry as one can get and is shown taking off in a taxi cab.

    Many of us see Trump as the holder of a particular job. So long as he performs well, we will back him. I see a lot of caterwauling from democrats who have no answers. Whining on their part is not an answer.

    It does not matter that PNAC promoted to President Bill Clinton stronger action against Saddam Hussein and he complied. I see how you work. If a group sends out a letter, they get accused of the war. So if you blame PNAC feel proud to blame Bill Clinton.

    Cheney and even Bush were only fringe players in General Tommy Franks plans. Sure he flew to Bush's ranch to show him the plans, but Bush told him that Tommy is fully in charge.

    Bush is shown here speaking of this. And no Bush did not toss Tommy under the bus, Tommy said this himself in his book.

    Tommy Franks conquered Iraq in a few weeks. Can you think who conquered it faster than that?

    Law school is not where I studied law but the local college does have law courses. Matter of fact, I am proud of my straight A grades. We would argue cases in the class one day a week. The course book was excellent but we were expected to also study books at the library.

    So what? And look at the letter from PNAC to Bill Clinton sometime.

    Rumsfeld and Cheney both had a lot of experience in government. PNAC never had policy it made. It suggested is all.

    Vanity Fair did a disservice publishing that flawed article. I know the bloody nose Democrats believe it but the True Generals doing the war do not agree.

    Besides General Tommy Franks, check with General Mike DeLong also a Marine General.

    Supposedly General Tommy franks could snap his fingers to produce those 500,000 troops. We have no proof that troop numbers was ever the problem. Franks had many more than 125,000 as the article mentions. And he deployed them.

    All the generals advised against invading with a small force.. Further, historians, Arabs, diplomats, oil men and Europeans all advised against the invasion of Iraq. Its been such a disaster are you now defending it?

    First. Frankd did not invade with a too small force. This is a myth trying to still be sold by Democrats. Iraq no longer is the subject of sanctions by the UN. We are positive it has no WMD. We are as positive it will not invade states on it's border.

    YES, the invasion worked and was worth doing. You may call it a disaster but when or if you consider everything, you will see it as a great success.

    Take Eisenhower invading Germany. He lost far more men and departed with the Soviets in charge of a large piece of Germany and all of Poland and Czechoslovakia and Hungary and Yugoslavia, yet in my history courses we were taught how we won and things were great once we won. We gave the Soviets countries and we kept no country.

    Iraq was crippled by two decades of war and sanctions BEFORE we invaded .. They had no WMDs and they were NOT a threat to any of the neighbors..

    That's why KSA and the Gulf states advised against the US invasion right up to the moment Bush launched.

    The Iraq war is NOT about Hungary or Poland.

    I gave you a lot more credit it now seems than you earned. My point was apparently supersonic over your head. I won't explain the huge losses of Eisenhower nor the territory he lost again. I said it once.

    So, you think our troops had it easy? And you claim Saddam had no WMD?

    One of his Generals contradicts you.
