So It Begins With Russia....... - Page 8

CJ, the master of Bush deflection says that you are deflecting.....pathetic!

So Clinton who was in office for eight years which included several terrorist attacks gets a pass and Bush who was in office for less than nine months catches ALL the blame. Is that how the world works (well maybe in baseball)?

Lets bring it home, according to Obama there have been no terrorists attack on his watch. Care to explain that CJ? Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

Governor Bush had the audacity to launch missies into Iraq in 1998

care to explain that homeboy?

Did you fail to catch the sarcasm??? Clinton launched missiles into Iraq in 1998. Bush was the Texas governor but someone said that Bush was responsible for acts like the missile strike. Do we have to use smaller words?

When you all "cherry pick" information from history in order to blame Bush (or anyone) for shit that happened based on reports AFTER THE FACT (some call it "Monday Morning Quarterbacking") at least try to be "fair and balanced" about the disclosures you make.

What you all don't realize is that with the kind of "analysis" provided by "lostincypress" (and others who want to pin that tail on Bush) you are making the case for charging Obaminable with the MURDER OF A U.S. AMBASSADOR ... using the same standards.

The only difference is a bi-partisan committee investigated 911 and published a report, and none has been done with regard to Benghazi....and none will to save Obaminable's ass.

Also, talking about people going on "vacation" ... is ludicrous. You actually believe the heads of the various agencies (particularly) those involved with national security leave town with earplugs and blinders on? If you just want to try to "score points" in some non-monitored "debate" on a blog .. then you can "believe" that .. but in reality if you believe that you are far too ignorant to be engaging in such "debates" ... it doesn't happen.

"LOST" YOUR POST IS PURE BULLSHIT.

Obama Cancels Meeting With Putin Amid Tension Over Snowden

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama canceled a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin set to be held in Moscow next month, following Russia's decision to grant asylum to former U.S. contractor Edward Snowden, the White House said Wednesday.

U.S.-Russian relations have been strained over Moscow's handling of Mr. Snowden, the National Security Agency leaker who was granted asylum in Russia last week. The White House had previously signaled Mr. Obama was unlikely to attend a planned one-on-one meeting with Mr. Putin next month in Moscow ahead of the Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg.

"There are times when they slip back into Cold War thinking and Cold War mentality," Mr. Obama said of Russia in an interview on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Tuesday night. "What I continually say to them and to President Putin, that's the past."
Mr. Obama still plans to attend the G-20 summit scheduled for early September, which Russia is hosting.

White House spokesman Jay Carney in a statement said the decision came after the Obama administration "reached the conclusion that there is not enough recent progress in our bilateral agenda with Russia" to hold the meeting.

"Given our lack of progress on issues such as missile defense and arms control, trade and commercial relations, global security issues, and human rights and civil society in the last 12 months, we have informed the Russian government that we believe it would be more constructive to postpone the summit until we have more results from our shared agenda," the statement said. "Russia's disappointing decision to grant Edward Snowden temporary asylum was also a factor that we considered in assessing the current state of our bilateral relationship."

The White House said it will continue with a Washington meeting later this week between Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian officials "to discuss how we can best make progress moving forward on the full range of issues in our bilateral relationship."

Before heading to Russia for the G-20, Mr. Obama will go to Stockholm Sept. 4 and 5, the White House said in a brief statement Wednesday. The White House said Sweden plays a "key leadership role on the international stage, including in opening new trade and investment opportunities through the U.S.-EU trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, advancing clean technologies, and promoting environmental sustainability."

as for your rights, I've ask before ... please give me specific examples of eroding rights that effect your everyday life, and exactly how they effect you. Originally Posted by CJ7

The press has become the hand puppet of government. I don’t feel they did their part to stop an unjust war in Iraq and they certainly aren’t reporting on Obama’s woesome shortcomings, gaffs and outright failures. They buried the NDAA 2012 and worse THEY AGAIN BURRIED THE NDAA 2013. There is a reason Freedom of the Press is in the Bill of Rights.

I cannot afford to buy an election, but big business can, and it's being made easier and easier everyday. Not controlling lobbiests erodes not only my rights, but my culture. I don't want HFCS in my food. I don't want to pay more for my medicine from the same companies that people in other countries pay. I don't want critical commodities such as oil traded on the open market and the cost driven up. I don't want small farmers to be sued because corn acts like corn and breads with other farmers' GMOs from Monsanto and loose their farms. I don't want big business to pay their above the line execs big bonuses for loosing money. I don't want the working poor to be taxed for not being able to afford health care.

I don't believe with the government bending rules for gain. Food and energy should be included in the equation for inflation. I don't want to be ruled by agencies instead of laws of the land. I don't want laws to be subverted to benefit large voting blocks like Hispanic and Affirmative Action.

No it's not. But when someone bullshits about how brilliant the guy is and references his rise to the Harvard Law Review as symbolic of his intelligence, then his academic performance does become an issue as a baseline for incompetence .. because he was promoted on the basis of "affirmative action" rather than scholastics.

Actually I was not referencing the war and I did not mention it. I was talking about the lead up, the sanctions (that made the "god forsaken" war necessary), and the aftermath. Russia has been only on the side of Russia. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

JDB, The war in Vietnam was a proxy war with……………wait for it……………..the Soviet Union. The war in Iraq was a manifestation of W’s daddy issues.

On July 1, the briefing said that the terrorist attack had been delayed but "will occur soon."
On July 24, the president was told again that the attack had been delayed but would occur within months

Please go read the 911 report from the bi-partisan committee. Frankly, your' behind times.

Surprise, surprise. But I suppose you "believe" that if you repeat it enough it becomes true. Try this.
