No one likes gloating but in Carter's case anyone who follows the game could overlook and understand his display, undoubtedly a reaction to being stuck in Toronto.

No. My 3:06 post is a reply to frontandcenter, edited by the moderator.
But feel free to carry out your little thought experiment.

Go back to the Iowa primary, examine the results and ask yourself (assuming you actually know anything about US politics other then who our prez is and how much you loathe him) how different the race would be if Edwards had been exposed then (the media knew) and was forced off the ticket. As much as I dislike Hillary Clinton she looks like one of the victims here.
There is a good argument that says if the Democrats lose this next election it might well be traced back to Edwards' recklessness and narcissism and the liberal media's role as one of his enablers.

No you haven't. How, exactly, has the Bush administration 'demonized' Islam?
truthXhurts - You're changing the subject.
What is this lie that Bush used? Don't try and blame Powell. Just get the facts and deliver.

If there is 'no doubt' could you post here some proof of what you assert?
How, exactly, did Bush make money? Power? He'll leave office and retire to his ranch.
Putin has set himself up as president for life - just like Saddam Hussein did.
If it was all about securing cheap Iraqi oil why has the price of oil skyrocketed? If people like you ("progressive", "liberal"?) saw it all coming why didn't the concerned and like-minded politicians who you vote for undercut Bush and the cabal that has supposedly benefited from the war in Iraq?

Did I miss something?
Was Georgia on the receiving end of dozens of UN resolutions condemning its actions?
Did Georgia have a history of sponsoring terrorism?
Did Georgia, aspiring EU member, have nearly all its neighbors wary because of its military adventurism?

Canadians can't vote in US elections. It's not like buying smokes or going south for quality medical treatment.

Even Christopher Hitchens, once the darling of the literary Left, admits that Iraq is waaaay better off - - -
"Mission accomplished." ...Iraq no longer plays deceptive games with weapons of mass destruction or plays host to international terrorist groups. It is no longer subject to sanctions that punish its people and enrich its rulers. Its religious and ethnic minorities—together a majority—are no longer treated like disposable trash. Its most bitter internal argument is about the timing of the next provincial and national elections. Surely it is those who opposed every step of this emancipation, rather than those who advocated it, who should be asked to explain and justify themselves."

I laugh to read the variety of ways the Left admits, however reluctantly or unconsciously, that the US has emerged victorious in Iraq.

The Ukraine is probably next on neo-imperialast Russia's list.
Europe will step up.
They know Putin fears them.
So what if he controls the oil.

The Russians have taken the city of Gori, birthplace of Josef Stalin.
I reckon they're signaling the international Left that the 'dream' still lives...

LOL. Yeah. "Oppression." China locks up, tortures and kills Falun Gong practicioners for mixing tai chi with a simple system of ethics and morality but it is George Bush who is "oppressing" people by asking that China allow freedom of religion.

Great article. I like the way the AP and Reuters et al reframe the message. Iraq's foreign minister "wants the US out" ?
He's the same guy, a Kurd, who published this plea in the Washington Post, only 15 months ago:
Don't Abandon Us
By Hoshyar Zebari Friday, May 4, 2007; Page A23
"Those calling for withdrawal may think it is the least painful option, but its benefits would be short-lived. The fate of the region and the world is linked with ours. Leaving a broken Iraq in the Middle East would offer international terrorism a haven and ensure a legacy of chaos for future generations. Furthermore, the sacrifices of all the young men and women who stood up here would have been in vain.
Iraqis, for all our determination and courage, cannot succeed alone. We need a healthy and supportive regional environment. We will not allow our country to be a battleground for settling scores in regional and international conflicts that adversely affect stability inside our borders. Only with continued international commitment and deeper engagement from our neighbors can we establish a stable democratic, federal and united Iraq. The world should not abandon us."

I guess, uh, something unexpected, something historical, something truly momentous took place between then and now...

Great post, sushisake.
It's encouraging to see that you can admit the war is pretty much over,
the civil war people like you hoped for never came to pass,
the United States of America has emerged victorious,
Al Qaeda is defeated, humiliated, and their stock waaay down in the Mohammedan world,
and Iraq is fast approaching the day when they can stand on their own feet.

He is unfit. How could you arrive at any other conclusion? He preaches about 2 Americas and family values and he enlists his wife in this pose and then he lies not just to the public but to his own party.

Some truth to that, but the same group of NBA stars have made basketball now even more popular in China than soccer is.
China gets to throw around its cultural weight, we get to throw around ours...

European soft power will sort this one out. No worries. Or else the UN will have to step in. I doubt Russia wants that kind of muscle coming down on them.
