I can't see how that could be. You are either being dishonest in trying to twist what I said or you will never understand no matter how much effort I put into explaining so I will not even bother.Dave Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289405215433867162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-86671031403266207592007-07-09T13:08:00.000-05:002007-07-09T13:08:00.000-05:00So you're saying that Rumsfeld was "thrown under t...So you're saying that Rumsfeld was "thrown under the bus" rather than being legitimately fired?<BR/><BR/>Amazing---even for you Barrett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-28965317650995951822007-07-09T12:39:00.000-05:002007-07-09T12:39:00.000-05:00qc examiner, To answer your points I would just b...qc examiner,<BR/> To answer your points I would just be repeating what I said in the post, so I just refer you back to that.Dave Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289405215433867162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-16715059250782196142007-07-09T12:06:00.000-05:002007-07-09T12:06:00.000-05:00I agree with Kevin Drum that there is not enough i...I agree with <A HREF="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2007_07/011645.php" REL="nofollow">Kevin Drum</A> that there is not enough information here to make an informed judgment, that the agenda of the "unnamed sources" is questionable and unknowable and that Clinton was always running into this problem when he was POTUS. So it appears to me (and Drum) that this a problem with the military.<BR/><BR/>As for the "throw under the bus" thing; that's a new one on me. Most people (including me) think GWB is TOO loyal and doesn't throw ENOUGH people under the bus soon enough (i.e. Tenant, Rumsfeld, etc, etc.). So do tell, who do you think Bush has "thrown under the bus"?<BR/><BR/>Concerning "dupliticous and deceitful"; we should be so lucky that only George Bush does this. I guess you have forgotten that the last POTUS was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, although I'm sure you're ready, willing and able to rationalize his behavior and give him a pass. Because when Dems lie, it's always "different" than when the GOP lies.<BR/><BR/>Whatever. My opinion is that being "duplicitous and deceitful" is probably a job requirement for any politician of either political party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
