Gee, since when has Faux Snooze turn into the Enquirer?? ;D

And to think I just saw charlie on a list of celebrity rehab success stories.

They may need to scrub that list.

[Mink]

Didn't Bush go through rehab too?

[The New Guy]

Maybe with Obamacare we can finally treat those americans who continue to suffer from BDS.


I don't know about bush but I do recall something about Barry smoking the ganja and snorting some dust by his own admission.

[Mink]

President Obama's plan will cover those with real health problems unlike Bush who only cared for the rich.

Come to think about it, I don't think Bush ever recovered from his addiction and we put up with his sputtering and studdering for 8 long years. Must have been some killer "stuff".

Another instance of liberal misdirection. The fact remains that there are many nutjobs on the Left who can imagine that Bush staged the 9/11 attacks in order to justify the invasion of Iraq. How wacky is that?

[Mink]

Given the fact that Bush knew of the forthcoming attacks, is not so wacky, especially when he, the oil companies and Halliburton had something to gain.

One thing is for sure. We could use a better class of liberals in this forum. It would be a welcome change to have a few with at least a slight touch of logical prowess. I realize finding such a liberal would be akin to finding jimmy hoffa but hay, we can dream, right?

Mink has proven the point quite well this evening with a serious of incoherent retorts and emotional blather. Nary a logical statement from her at all. But then again, we all know her m.o. when cornered by those damn inconvenient facts - blurt out some silly attack phrase that invokes the name of satan himself (bush) and run like hell.

Oh, hell, Sheen wears a rug, can you blame him for going crazy?!LOL

Mink, usually I dismiss comments like this from you as either liberal distraction or a terminal case of BDS. However, I have some time this afternoon, so I have done the research that you have not done, research that shows just how far off base your comment is. Follow along with me here.

First, get out your copy of the 9/11 Commmission Report. You do have one, don't you? You can download it here. When you turn to page 272, you can read how the FBI was dilligently tracking down leads on terrorist suspects in the US. They had tracked the terrorists from New York to San Diego to Florida. However, as it says in the official report,

As its author told investigators, the Phoenix memo was not an alert about suicide pilots. His worry was more about a Pan Am flight 103 scenario in which explosives were placed on an aircraft. The memo's references to aviation training were broad, including aeronautical engineering. If the memo had been distributed in a timely fashion and its recommendations acted on promptly, we do not believe it would have uncovered the plot. It might well, however, hhave sensitized the FBI so that it might have taken the Moussaoui matter more seriously the next month.

Now, go back and read the history about the Clinton Administration's use of no-bid contracts for support services when the armed forces were deployed overseas. You can narrow it down by doing a Google search for "LOGCAP," the Logistics Capabilities contract. Here's a synopsis:

The first LOGCAP was awarded in 1992, as the first Bush administration (including then-Secretary of Defense Cheney) was leaving office. Four companies competed, and the winner was Brown & Root, as it was known at the time (Halliburton changed the name to Kellogg Brown & Root after an acquisition in 1998). The multi-year contract was in effect during much of the Clinton administration. During those years, Brown & Root did extensive work for the Army under the LOGCAP contract in Haiti, Somalia, and Bosnia; contract workers built base camps and provided troops with electrical power, food, and other necessities. In 1997, when LOGCAP was again put up for bid, Halliburton/Brown & Root lost the competition to another contractor, Dyncorp. But the Clinton Defense Department, rather than switch from Halliburton to Dyncorp, elected to award a separate, sole-source contract to Halliburton/Brown & Root to continue its work in the Balkans. According to a later GAO study, the Army made the choice because 1) Brown & Root had already acquired extensive knowledge of how to work in the area; 2) the company "had demonstrated the ability to support the operation"; and 3) changing contractors would have been costly. The Army's sole-source Bosnia contract with Brown & Root lasted until 1999. At that time, the Clinton Defense Department conducted full-scale competitive bidding for a new contract. The winner was . . . Halliburton/Brown & Root. The company continued its work in Bosnia uninterrupted.

That work received favorable notices throughout the Clinton administration. For example, Vice President Al Gore's National Performance Review mentioned Halliburton's performance in its Report on Reinventing the Department of Defense, issued in September 1996. In a section titled "Outsourcing of Logistics Allows Combat Troops to Stick to Basics," Gore's reinventing-government team favorably mentioned LOGCAP, the cost-plus-award system, and Brown & Root, which the report said provided "basic life support services-food, water, sanitation, shelter, and laundry; and the full realm of logistics services- transportation, electrical, hazardous materials collection and disposal, fuel delivery, airfield and seaport operations, and road maintenance."

Mink, I don't expect you to recant your statement because to do so would mean that you would be ostracized by your liberal friends. It is a matter of faith on the Left that Bush Lied and Halliburton profitted. It look different, though, when you sprinkle a little facts on it.
