I told y'all McCain = Bush's 3rd term!

withdraw combat troops depending upon conditions on the ground

If McCain's going to try and distance himself from Bush, the two need to stop repeating each other verbatim.

Few things to keep in mind. Der Speigel, a german newspaper, broke

Der Speigal broke the Maliki story. We all know how much the German love Obama, elevating him to cult-like celebrity status.

However, the PM 'corrected' the quote and now Bush co-signs, saying "I talk to him all the time, and that's not what I heard,"

So who do you wanna believe the lying german media or us.

I know it lame, but that's how they're gonna weave it all together.

Bush (channeling Redd Foxx): "Who ya gonna believe? Me, or your lying ears?"

So Bush talks to Maliki all the time? How much is all the time? Doesn't he have othe things to do, like run this country, no matter how poorly he actually does this, it is utterly ridiculous to think that he speaks to Maliki all the time. Now I am sure that he has plenty of people who give him updates on this situation but that is an entirely different matter than saying I talk to him all the time. It is no different than when John McCain insisted that he knew Maliki so well that he knows that he wouldn't have said something in support of the 16th month time line. There is no end to the lengths by which people such as Bush and no apperently McCain claim that they are in the know on everything. Just like when Bush looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul, and declared that he was an OK guy. This would sound plausible to any idiot who has not been paying attention the last 8 years but it makes it completely ridicuous when Putin and the new head of the Russian government are threatening to keep "all options on the table" should we place that missile base in the Czech Rep.

Well, ya know, when you fry your brain with so much coke and booze til your forty (and maybe after), it can kind of mess up your hearing.

Evidently your speaking abilities, as well.

Hey, you all are missing the point. The Decider decides what was said and what wasn't said, and he's decided that THAT'S NOT WHAT HE HEARD. All this other stuff, is irrelevant.

Hey lalo, what was that you said in a previous incarnation? Something about fooling some of the people . . .

One statement will clear everything up .....

If Dubya's mouth is moving, he's lying.

"We won't drill, we will let our economy go down the tubes." That's what Republicans say.

Here's what I say to them:

Don't listen to me. Watch her. Really. She gave a talk to conservatives recently that I think you should watch. It might resonate.

She says the more we produce, the less OPEC will increase its production to compensate. Her proof? OPEC has gone from producing 30 million barrels a day since the 70s to 32 million barrels a day today. The rest of the world has doubled its production. We add a few million barrels from offshore drilling, guess what happens? Growth in China and India picks up the slack and OPEC holds its production steady. In other words, nothing. It's that simple.

Anne Korin is right. Two thirds of our gas consumption comes from vehicles. Only 2% of our electricity is generated using oil. What is the obvious solution? Switch to battery powered vehicles. Get vehicles off the gas. And start equipping all vehicles for alternative fuels, at a cost of only about $100 a car by the way. Corn ethanol is profitable at about $2 a gallon, much cheaper than current prices. Let's go!

The Republicans have been in power for so long. Even they say we are addicted to oil. Why aren't they saying any of this? Could it have something to do with their warped allegiances in the Middle East, especially with Saudi Arabia who sent us the 9/11 bombers?

Can we please get real already? Offshore drilling is a red herring. It will not matter in the grand scheme of things. The problem is OPEC holds the cards. We are too dependent on oil. Republican politicians are sell-outs who don't want you to think clearly on this.
