Paying Gerson to speculate on the consequences of leaving Iraq is like paying OJ to speculate on what might happen if he had visited….

A very successful Japanese businessman, who had nine manufacturing plants in Japan, was at the groundbreaking ceremony for his first American plant. The market for his services - precision metal fabricating - was saturated at the time.

I got a chance to talk to him at the luncheon afterwards through an interpreter. I asked him if he was worried about gaining marketshare as a start-up against the entrenched competition?

His reply? “At this point, it’s too early to tell. We are only in year three of our hundred year plan for this plant. It will be up to the grandchildren of these workers to tell us how we did.”

The comments at the Post continues to amaze. Hundreds of thoughtful, fierce, rebuttals follow every wanktastic piece of drivel they publish.

There’s no sign that FFFH reads any of them, of course. But still, somebody must point out to the writers that they’ll become reviled far & wide. But it doesn’t slow them down….

Until somebody’s kid at a cocktail party starts laughing at them, will they even notice? I expect to see a truly twisted explanation when they finally disable comments.

If the VP were impeached, the President Pro Tem of the Senate (Byrd, I think?) would preside — due to conflict of interest on the part of the VP.

that’s what WE think and want but accoding to that page there is NO provision for anyone else presiding then the vp with the sole exclusion of a presidential impeachment

Per the wikipedia:

Further, the Chief Justice presides over the impeachment trial of the Vice President if, under the terms of the 25th Amendment, the Vice President is serving as Acting President. However, no Vice President has been impeached (though Spiro Agnew resigned under threat of impeachment) …

America’s soldiers are not pieces on some chess board to be moved around at the whim of the President without some substantial commitment to them and their families that what they are being asked to do has been well-planned and well-considered, both for worst case and best case scenario. The fact that Gerson, Kagan, and Pollack, among others in the Cheney apologist neoconman wing of the GOP never quite get to the point where they realize that these men and women are sacrificing much more than we should ever have asked of them is appalling enough.

I believe the term Rumsfeld used was fungible. there’s no reason to assume that the opinion of anyone in or in support of this administration has changed from that.

Nixon and Kissinger look pretty good in light of the current Cheney/Puppet regime.

No! No! No! No! Really No!

Kissinger is still the puppetmaster.

Didn’t read the subject op-ed yet, but I don’t need to…Kissinger’s reputation as a war criminal & despotic policy-driver are too well established for it to make a difference.

Not only is he responsible for a genocide in Cambodia, but he’s been the key force behind just about every government destabilization campaign that’s occurred in the last 40 years, from South America to Africa and beyond.

He should have been tried for crimes against humanity a dozen times already; instead he advises our President.

As for Christy’s comment “America’s soldiers are not pieces on some chess board to be moved around at the whim of the President…”, I disagree. They are JUST that. Not that they should be, simply that they are.

And I stand by my position (stated here before) that as the Iraq war devolves into a purely political exercise, the troops are being strategically throttled in order control the negative press (casualties) as it relates to Bush & Cheneys’ political needs.
