JK2000 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 As idiotic as his rants are, I do envy him on some level. If I shaved off about half my IQ points, I wouldn't have to worry about how complex the world is and could just understand everything through bumper sticker logic. You mean like "Drill Here, Drill Now", "Fight Em Over There So We Don't Gotta Fight Em Here", and "Support Our Troops"? I never even made any such attempt, because you wouldn't even begin to understand it. You can't even understand how it relates to Georgia, and we've actually been discussing it. Then what do you call this: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?act=r...96374&st=20 Or this: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?act=r...96388&st=20 Since it seems that you love to spout off about things that you have absolutely no knowledge of should I explain the shortcomings of missile defense to you, or is it above your comprehension level?

This is one of the most unintentionally funny things I have seen in quite some time. Kudos, Bravo, and Well Done, JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, please do. Make sure you quote the actual system integration tests when you do - I can lend you the unclassified results if you can't find them. And don't forget to tell me that the estimate 60% PK is bad, while you're at it. And please explain in detail how they tie in to the current foreign policy w/r/t the Global War On Terror. But let me make some popcorn first. This ought to be a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 No, misrepresenting what actually happened makes for two "retarded liberal talking points". The Katrina thing ended quickly when confronted with actual facts on page 1 of the thread and the 9/11 storybook thing had no effect on the events of that day. Bush spending the next few minutes with those kids while the Secret Service got prepped for his departure wasn't the best response, but there was no response at that moment that would have changed anything that morning. It's just another shallow talking point for people like you to whine about. Notice, is both 9/11 and the recent russia/olympics, these tards wanted the president to immediately freakout and running around, "showing good leadership," when a thought out measured response was more appropriate in both cases. These are the same morons who simply scream and point the finger and throw blame as soon as news breaks of any big event, instead taking a step back to think for a second.

You mean like sitting like a deer in the headlights reading a children's book for 7 minutes while after you've been told "America is under attack"? He's the Commander and Chief for Christ's sake!

Reading your posts is exactly like watching a six-year old trying to act grown up. Never mind that you apparently think that showing calmness in a crisis is a bad trait...you really have no idea what goes in to the C-in-C "acting immediately", do you?

Chef Jim Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Not really, is it to much to expect our Commander and Chief to act immediately when he is told "America is under attack"? First off do you have any idea what was whispered in his ear? Could have been "sir, we have a problem and you need to wrap this up ASAP." But if he had been told that the country was under attack I really didn't see any phone booths for him to run to. But I take it you're not a leader, manager or in charge of anything or anyone are you? Patience, coolness and calmness in the face of adverse conditions is the sign of a good leader. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Bush is a great, or even good leader but to criticize someone for a couple of minutes of inaction is petty and childish.

"Calmness in a crisis" would have been GWB saying to the kids some BS about how he had a great time reading with them but he had something very important to do. He didn't have to run out of the school with his arms flailing while screaming like a banshee. you really have no idea what goes in to the C-in-C "acting immediately", do you? Yes, excusing yourself from a handful of children when you've just been told that "America is under attack". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone whispers in your ear "your business is on fire", or "your wife is being attacked", or "your son/daughter has been in an accident" would you sit there for 7 minutes or would you calmly excuse yourself immediately? To the public, Card may be best known as the aide who calmly walked into a Florida classroom and whispered to Bush that America was under attack on Sept. 11, 2001. He was absolutely told that America was "under attack". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yes, excusing yourself from a handful of children when you've just been told that "America is under attack". To do what, sit somewhere for eight minutes while the Secret Service secured the route to the airport? Or better yet: interrupt all the people who could actually do something concrete (e.g. director of the FAA, commander of NORAD, Secretary of Transportation) for a status report. Because you see, sometimes leadership also includes staying out of the way and letting the people under you do their jobs. Jumping in and crapping all over everything like a seagull is usually counter-productive, as it distracts people from getting work done. Same reason that his Friday visit to New Orleans was extremely irresponsible - do you have any idea how disruptive that display of "leadership" was to the rescue process? Of course you don't; a kid like you wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't have to run out of the school with his arms flailing while screaming like a banshee. Please confine your prevarications to your immediate family. Pres. Bush did not run out of the room screaming. He probably had some thoughts about the previous Administrations' abandoning national security for poplularity.

You'd think he'd get tired of creating new IDs after each banning. Then again, getting smacked around here probably gives him more attention than he gets anywhere else.

I don't know, maybe he would have liked TO HAVE BEEN BRIEFED ON WHAT THE HELL WAS GOING ON! What was the attack? Where was it? Was it a nuclear attack? What about the casualties? For all he knew we could have been in the process of being nuked to hell that morning. It seems like the only defense that you Bush apologists have left is that the President/Commander in Chief is really an unnessary position and anything that GWB could have done would only have gotten in the way. Be proud of the low standards you've set for the presidency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
