I saw Dr Strangelove for the first time ever a couple of weeks ago. It's the most straight-faced, morbidly grim comedy I've ever seen.


It must have been enourmously powerful to audiences back during the cold war.


Which reminds me. I've always thought, given how much stupidity and blindness there is around politics and power, that it's an utter triumph of knowledge, or sanity, or ...something, that so far no-one has committed suicide on behalf of all his countrymen by starting a nuclear war.


It's just a shame that armour piercing spent-uranium shells travel so fast that their friction in the air vaporises 90% of the shell, and so many of these have been used in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan that there is now as much radiation in the air there as if a nuclear bomb war had been fought - even despite the "spentness" of the the shells.

I wouldn't be travelling to, or eating anything from Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, or the Middle East.

it is just another legacy of the bush addministraition. dont have the weapons? we perma camp your silly but and hang you. have the weapons? hands off. thats the message bush sent to the middle east. now we have a chest thumping micro tyrant shaking his sabers instead of shaking in his boots thinking the money they paid pakistan for the bomb was worth every penny.

mccains gona fix it though. he is gona keep perma camping iraq and force the oil companies to raise their prices to cover the cost of drilling for more oil to keep feeding the need. and someday, mabe 10 years from now, when gas is 15 bucks a gallon, the prices will start to level off a bit because the money they invested will have finally reached the break even point. granted, florida bay will look like galveston bay, a brown mess with nothing alive but migratory fish. and japan and a few other aisan countries will have plenty more oil now because thats where every drop of oil we pump out of alaska goes.

wooohooo, mccains the man.......it really astounds me how many people think more drilling is any kind of answer at all. it may poll well, but it totally lacks any type of common sence.


So what would be the smart thing to do exactly? Please enlighten us since you undoubtedly have all the answers and info.

So Iraq has been just a walk in the park in your opinion? notice how i said "one of".

You cant tell me that suicide bombers dressed as civilians, walking among civilians makes this anything but a complex war.

Why don't your try adding to the discussion with a statement that isn't just an attack, and tell me why you think its isn't one of the most complex wars we have been in?

I usually lurk, but this was too funny! So, shall we examine the astounding military records of the Bush Administration?

GW himself, from the wiki:
Quote:
At the height of the Vietnam War, Bush was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard in May 1968, despite scoring the lowest acceptable passing grade on the pilot's written aptitude test.[23][24][25] This was at a time when more than ten thousand Air National Guard personnel, many fighter pilots, were called to active duty to serve in Vietnam.[26] After training, he was assigned to duty in Houston, flying Convair F-102s out of Ellington Air Force Base.[27] Critics allege Bush was favorably treated because of his father's political standing, citing his lack of combat service and his irregular attendance.[28] The United States Department of Defense released all the records of Bush's Texas Air National Guard service, which remain in its official archives.[24] Though not accepted to the University of Texas School of Law in 1970,[29] he accepted a transfer to the Alabama Air National Guard in 1972 to work on a Republican senate campaign, and in October 1973 he was discharged from the Texas Air National Guard, almost eight months early without being called to active duty to serve in Vietnam, to attend Harvard Business School.[citation needed] While at Harvard, Bush completed his six-year service obligation in the inactive reserve.[30]


Was never in a war...

Richard Cheney:
Quote:
When Cheney became eligible for the draft, he was a supporter of the Vietnam War but did not serve in the military. Instead, he applied for and received five draft deferments. In 1989, The Washington Post writer, George C. Wilson, interviewed Cheney as the next Secretary of Defense; when asked about his deferments, Cheney reportedly said, "I had other priorities in the '60s than military service."[15] Cheney testified during his confirmation hearings in 1989 that he received deferments to finish a college career that lasted six years rather than four, owing to sub par academic performance and the need to work to pay for his education. Initially, he was not called up because the Selective Service System was only taking older men. When he became eligible for the draft, he applied for four deferments in sequence. He applied for his fifth exemption on January 19, 1966, when his wife was about 10 weeks pregnant. He was granted 3-A status, the "hardship" exemption, which excluded men with children or dependent parents. In January 1967, Cheney turned 26 and was no longer eligible for the draft.[16]


Wow, didn't serve.

Surely, our secretary of defense has great military leadership credentials:
Robert Gates
Quote:
While at Indiana University, Gates was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency and joined the agency in 1966.[10] However, the CIA offered no exemption from the draft during the Vietnam War. In 1967 he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force[10] and from 1967 to 1969 he served as an intelligence officer in the Strategic Air Command, including a posting at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where he delivered intelligence briefings to Intercontinental Ballistic Missile crews.[11] After fulfilling his military obligation, he rejoined the CIA.


Yep, 2 years in Missouri during Vietnam.


Some great military leaders ya got there.
