  4. aaaaand just topping it off with a triple post
  5. I disagree about the media not letting the President do his job. I believe the media has made presidential scrutiny much harsher, but that doesn't mean the job description of the office of the POTUS (President of the United States) has gotten much different. The only thing the media has done is to make it much harder to get re-elected if you simply focus on policy. People no longer care for grand speeches rallying the masses; this administration has shown that people would rather see President Bush leisurely spending time in Crawford, TX than delivering powerful addresses to the nation. In addition, the media is the greatest power now that the American people have to check the power of the executive branch. Ever since 1950 and the "police action" in Korea when President Truman went around Congress and sought approval from the U.N. for deploying troops in the Korean peninsula, the role of Congress has absolutely been diminished as the executive branch of the government has found itself with a much higher ceiling on its power. We as the people of this nation have gotten fed up with Congress simply going belly up on all controversial issues. I personally am disgusted by the fact that government's handling of issues is based entirely on hopes for re-election instead of thinking of what is in the best interest of this country and attempting to move forward and make progress in the world. Why do we put up with China? Because China helps keep our Wal-Mart's prices low, and when prices are low, spending is high and GDP is high. Never mind how many American jobs we lose to them, nor how many human rights violations they're guilty of. The media, though I admit they often represent the radical 20% on either side of the political spectrum, has done wonders to keep the voice of the American public shouting in the President's ear and not allowing him to carry on his own agenda without feeling some sort of consequences. In other news, I saw a wonderful headline in The Onion: "Bush Has One Of Those Days Where He Feels Like 68 Percent Of People Hate Him"
  6. I meant that once he is given funds by Congress, he appoints his staff (SECDEF/CJCS) to figure out how to distribute it...that once he's got the money, he tell his staff to spend it all on 1,000lb bombs and F-22's and B-2 overflights, or he can tell them to spend it all on armored vehicles and M-16 ammunition. Yes, Congress has to approve, but in almost all cases they approve the way he spends it once they've given it to him.
  7. Ok, here we go; this is all the shit I've spent hours of research on, and I've come to a few conclusions. Congress is going about this all the wrong way; George Bush is absolutely right in not wanting Congress to declare a timetable for withdrawal because it is not Congress's power to do so. He is the Commander in Chief and he decides what happens with the troops and how to allot funds. There is one thing and one thing only that Congress can do to get their way; they must declare war. It is the one power granted to Congress that the President cannot veto. If Congress declares war, they thereby grant themselves the power to declare the objectives of war and to allot funds according to the necessity of those objectives. IF they were to declare war, they could say "Alright Mister President, your objective in this global war on terror is to eliminate terrorist threats in the Tora Bora mountains in Afghanistan or in Tikrit" or whatever they want to say. The President would be FORCED into constrictions of the declaration of war, and any spending and operations peripheral to the declaration of war would be grounds for impeachment. The whole reason that the U.S. hasn't declared war is because the executive branch doesn't want "their hands tied" in operations, and Congress like a good lap dog, cooperates. Bush is right; Congress doesn't have the right to tell him how to fight the war. But they do have the right to tell him what he's allowed to fight for. The U.S. has fallen into the trap of fighting a war for limited goals; everyone wants to be Clausewitzian and use "war as an extension of politics", but they don't realize they're destroying the credibility of the U.S. What logical conclusions can the terrorists draw? I'll tell you: Terrorist train of thought as of now: Okay, so we fucked up all sorts of American buildings, have taken hostages and beheaded them on camera, and fought them in unconventional means and killed 3,300+ of their people. They're pretty pissed. So what have they done to us? Well, they invaded Afghanistan and took out the Taliban, and they invaded Iraq and took out Saddamn Hussein...they haven't hunted us down and brutally killed us, they haven't swept through all the nations of the middle east to kill all of us, they haven't even thought about biological, chemical, or nuclear weapons. They're really not that willing to fuck with us. They want to use roundabout tactics that won't work on a stateless guerrilla force like us. /terrorists We need to identify the enemy. We can't simply say the enemy is all people who oppose freedom, because that doesn't tell our men and women in uniform who to shoot at. You can't tell the soldiers to just shoot anyone with a gun, because not all people with a gun mean us harm. You could tell them to kill all the Sunnis or all the Shiites, but that would be discrimination and would be wrong. There's a general (I forget who) who has been talking about trying to create a "culturally sensitive soldier." He wants the soldier on the street corner in Baghdad to be aware of different cultures. Do you know what that does? It forces the soldier to decide! HOW THE FUCK IS THE SOLDIER SUPPOSED TO DECIDE WHO THE ENEMY IS WHEN OUR FUCKING GOVERNMENT CAN'T EVEN DECIDE??!?!?!? ok, done with my rant Cliffs: 1) congress should declare war to outline its objectives 2) policy now sucks 3) profit.
  8. ZOMG INTERNET UPRISING IT IS IMPORTANT. seriously, who gives a flying fuck if digg is in an uproar. if this is the most riveting part of your life right now, you need to get the fuck outside and enjoy the weather.

  12. lawl...i dunno, he'll probably get tired of the gimmick after a while, then linn and cavin will take over, and CR will collectively get bored of it and all will be forgotten when winter comes and i can run my mouth again from the confines of my comfy apartment in boston. but for now, i cower in fear at the thought of a car faster than mine
