When I read the first part of that opinion piece I had to wonder if Cohen had reformed from the raving left leaner he has always been. All of a sudden the real truth of what he was doing jumped right off the page for me. These words did such a job of that.

Bush, however, lacks irony . . . or something. Another man in his position might stare at the ceiling at night, seeing the number 4,486 — the number of American dead in Iraq — blinking on and off.

From that point it became a normal Cohen message. I really thought he may say something about the Iran war since it became Obama's war. You do remember him taking it over in 2009 when he sent some troops, fewer than asked for but nevertheless some, in his "surge" that didn't work so well because he wanted to micro-manage the war.

Hey, nice try, Chardo, but you only look good in the eyes of the few libs here who have been able to remain with you.

Roy, you know you can never trust a liberal! I guess there is always hope for them, but not much.

Maher slams Bush library: ‘What a bullsh-t rewriting of history’

Have you ever done any research in a Presidential library? I must admit that I have and that as a Democrat at the time I saw none if the Pelosi appearance that Maher talks about. Of course, my trip to the Truman Library was done as a part of a history institute that I was attending in 1968. I did an afternoon of pretty extensive research there about the Korean War and failed to see anything that appeared to be what you and Maher are saying they are all like.

Doesn't it chap you that the tax payer doesn't get to pay for those repositories of knowledge? I think it really does.

You and I both know that Maher has never been inside Bush's Library so he doesn't really know what is there. Surely you can understand that.

[quote http://www.washingtonpost.com]...
Even now, some await the Great Vindication of George W. Bush. The about-face on Harry Truman is a supposed precedent — and clearly this is what Bush thinks will happen. Maybe WMD will emerge from the Iraqi desert. Maybe all the economic data were wrong. In the meantime, Bush is at ease with himself — always his gauge for right or wrong, smart or stupid. Among the many things he lacks is self-doubt. It is a gift. [/quote]

The serenity of George W. Bush is a gift, but from a source Mr. Cohen hasn't considered.

Jesus said in John 14:27: "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."

As for the WMD, it was shown on satellite being taken from Iraq, through Syria, and into Lebanon. It was in a caravan of large cargo trucks controlled by Russian forces. I saw the reports shown on cable news a few times in 2003. Then, they disappeared into the ether.

Somehow, the liberal press always missed such reports, although it's still online.

Report: U.S suspects Iraqi WMD in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley
U.S. intelligence suspects Iraq's weapons of mass destruction have finally been located.

Unfortunately, getting to them will be nearly impossible for the United States and its allies, because the containers with the strategic materials are not in Iraq.

Instead they are located in Lebanon's heavily-fortified Bekaa Valley, swarming with Iranian and Syrian forces, and Hizbullah and ex-Iraqi agents.

Next: The subprime mortgage crisis for which George W. is blamed to this day, was created by the Community Reinvestment Act, signed by Jimmy Carter in 1977. The CRA intimidated banks to meet the credit needs of their communities. Federal banking regulators literally bullied them into approving mortgages to unqualified minority applicants by threatening approval of their routine requests to merge or to open new branches. The bill's political supporters believed that CRA would counter the presumed racial discrimination in lending, which they justified by widely publicizing a 1990 Federal Reserve Bank of Boston finding that blacks and Hispanics of similar income experienced higher mortgage-denial rates than whites. Mortgage worthiness, however, is additionally based on total indebtedness ratio to income, and past debt repayment history.

The Clinton administration re-energized the Community Reinvestment Act into a powerful mandate reshaping American cities, as Senate Banking Committee chairman Phil Gramm put it, "a vast extortion scheme against the nation's banks." Under its provisions, U.S. banks initially committed nearly $1 trillion for inner-city and low-income mortgages and real estate development projects, most of it funneled through a nationwide network of left-wing community groups, such as Acorn, [for whom Obama worked while in Chicago) who taught their low-income clients that the financial system is their enemy and, implicitly, that government, rather than their own efforts, should be the means to their well-being.

When President Bush tried to investigate the financial health of the country's financial institutes, including Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd assured him there was no problem. Their political maneuvering ensured that inner-city neighborhoods stayed poor by discouraging the kinds of investment that might have benefited them, and ultimately came within a hair of bringing down the world's economy, and President Bush is still blamed.

A September 11, 2003 New York Times article shows that President Bush proposed “the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.” His proposal: An agency within the Treasury Department to supervise mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Fearing that mortgages would no longer be available to people who were unable to pay them back, Democrats eventually killed the proposal. The current meltdown in the mortgage industry is a direct result of giving mortgages to people who could not pay them back, a practice protected by Congressional Democrats.

Both entities were taken over by the government, a move that puts trillions of taxpayer dollars at risk. Over the years, the President's repeated attempts to reform the supervision of these entities were thwarted by the legislative maneuvering of those who emphatically denied there were problems with the GSEs.

Frank, in his most detailed explanation to date about his actions, said in an interview he missed the warning signs because he was wearing ideological blinders. He said he had worried that Republican lawmakers and the Bush administration were going after Fannie and Freddie for their own ideological reasons and would curtail the lenders’ mission of providing affordable housing.

So many lies about George W. Bush.

He was far from perfect, but so much more perfect than the unmitigated liar presently in the White House.

Zemirah, I recall seeing those lines of semi-trucks that your article talks about right there on my TV and then they disappeared. It was all a part of the left/media organized attempt to discredit Bush getting ready for the 2004 election. That campaign started nearly as long before the election as any of Obama's have. The MSM sure didn't like the stories about the Russian group that flew into Iraq to work on getting that stuff shipped out of there. Must have been a lot of Russian weapons of various kinds there.

As for the Frank/Dodd involvement in the el fold of F and F in the housing market, it was all well known but well covered up by the media and the Democrats. Yes, Bush did try very hard to get them excited enough to investigate in 2005 and Frank and Dodd did tell him there was nothing wrong.

I can't wait to see Che come back at you, if he gets the orders from his string pullers.

So the Madcow has spoken and, like always, with here normal left leaning words. She is really something and you posting this one tells me reams about where you get so many of your ideas about politics.

Old Roy hasn't even noticed that I'm ignoring him. No matter what I post, he always come back with the same tired old right wing nut denial of reality clap trap. Not worth responding to.

Nice try Chardo, but I had noticed you had begun trying to hide from the truth like so many of the far left have done with me many times before. The best part of it is that they always read what I say and sometimes just can't hold off as you did here when I said nasty things about Madcow.
