POPSBirds of Example Bush's Missile Defence Program is better represented by a Wounded Duck, because it never worked. Much better idea to make it so that other countries don't want to shoot missiles at the US. Bush: 0 Obama: 1000

POPSEager to Tap Iraq's Vast Oil Reserves Industry Execs Suggested Invasion
In Ron Suskind's 2004 book, "The Price of Loyalty," O'Neill said an invasion of Iraq was on the agenda at the first National Security Council. There was even a map for a post-war occupation, marking out how Iraq's oil fields would be carved up. Even at that early date, the message from Bush was "find a way to do this," according to O'Neill, a critic of the Iraq invasion who was forced out of his job in December 2002. The New Yorker's Jane Mayer later made another discovery: a secret NSC document dated February 3, 2001 - only two weeks after Bush took office - instructing NSC officials to cooperate with Cheney's task force, which was "melding" two previously unrelated areas of policy: "the review of operational policies towards rogue states" and "actions regarding the capture of new and existing oil and gas fields." By March 2001, Cheney's task force had prepared a set of documents with a map of Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, refiner

POPSNow that is just harsh Add to that this bit of data. During the election, many liberals complained that President Bush was running the national debt up too high and the Communist Chinese government owned too much of that debt. A lot of fiscal conservatives agreed with them on that. After the election, the fiscal conservatives stuck by their principles and most liberals abandoned theirs as our Dear Leader raised the national debt in six months an amount that it took GWB eight years to reach, selling most of that new debt to the Communist Chinese government.

POPSNational Sovereignty Day For such a historic day, the scribblers seem to be ignoring a lot of history. It’s like no one wants to talk about it anymore. Too bad. A great accomplishment, at tremendous sacrifice by both Americans, Iraqis and their British, Australian, European and Asian allies. Congratulations, Iraq. All yours now. Until and unless you need a little more help. Hopefully we’ll have an American president who is willing to help.

POPSFree the United States A person (with an IQ you can't double) said I was mad when I suggested this on a clip. It is reassuring when others agree, though not a necessity. Need to visit the source for a fuller appreciation.

POPSScore Another One for President Bush’s WOT Policies Whatever form it takes " from Congress or the President’s pen " it is anathema to the basic principles of American law and the courts will find it unconstitutional.” So what about all the cries from Obama about “unlimited executive power” and “ignoring the rule oflaw”? McQ sums up: So it was never about principle, was it? It was always about politics. Hope and change. Yep * *http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=obama+like+bush+2009&aq=f&oq=&aqi= Lefty bloggers are already erupting in outrage .** Will we hear cries of “war criminal!!!!” soon if the admin goes through with the executive order? **http://www.memeorandum.com/090626/p98#a090626p98 Stay tuned …

POPSGod Comes Cheap These Days For eight years, Christian conservatives had "Lord Bush." Now, liberals have "Lord Obama." Seems to me that gods come pretty cheap these days. As a non-American, this is very much the way it seems. Nothing really matters, but beating the other side. Left vs right feuding, instead of right vs wrong. So much time wasted fighting each other, instead of fighting for your supposed values and principles Is this really what America is all about? Think about it.

POPSThe Jig Is Up Mousavi wasn’t about to give up Iran’s nuclear program either. But the fact that engagement is now so patently absurd even to the left blogosphere should give the Obama team pause. What are they going to do now? So perhaps it was not George Bush’s “fault” that we couldn’t “get along” with Iran. Any American president who declines to countenance the regime’s thuggish behavior becomes the object of their scorn. There is no “engagement” without forfeiting our conscience. And the notion that Ahmadinejad and his mullah patrons would give up their nuclear program in response to some charm offensive from the president is now revealed to be utter drivel. If Obama can’t rally world opinion now — when the nature and intentions of the regime are so clear — it is hard to see when he will ever be able to do so. After all, who now thinks we can do “business” with the mullahs and/or learn to live with a nuclear-armed despotic regime?

POPSThe axis of weevils No weevil doing in Iran, Iraq (under Saddam), and definitely nothing evil about North Korea planning to nuke Hawaii. A country can be against America and bad.
