#1 But, but everyone sez he won't do nuthin, that he's already tucked tail and the next two years will be abject kow-towing and failure...

Sorry, man, but you don't know him like some here do. He's a total wimp.

#2 Emperor Misha's category for the man is "President Milquetoast, useless swine". If he cannot bring himself to defend the United States from walking Mexicans there is little chance he will take on Iran and risk the wrath of Phrance.

I hope I am wrong. If this is the most belligerent leader we have got we need to start storing food and ammo for the coming suburban ground war.

#3 Lol. Fact check: Who's actually more useless, Bush or "Emperor Misha"?

As I see it, using his own scale of values, "useless swine" would be a step up for the Great Emperor.

Just another brave Blog-o-Spherian Opinion Mill - with all of the responsibilities and constraints that implies. In other words, he doesn't know shit, but he holds forth anyway.

#4 In other words, he doesn't know shit, but he holds forth anyway.

Certainly. And, surprisingly, or not, a lot like this place and some, (most) of its denizens. Me included. Funny, that!

#6 I gave up on Emperor Misha a long time ago and filed him away with a couple others in the "Bellicose Hand-wringers" category.

It's one thing to provide constructive criticism. Or aggressively promote a policy. Or expound vehemently on why something should be done one way, rather than the other. But his day-in, day-out, nonstop "President Milquetoast, useless swine" nonsense accomplishes nothing more than undermine support for the war, albeit from a somewhat different angle than Kos, DU and their ilk.

And it achieves EXACTLY the same result.

#10 In WAR the rules change its all about the end result Who WINS. If you are weak look strong (so your enemy doesn't attack you when you will lose), when you are strong look weak (to draw your enemy into a fight he will lose).

Remember guys in March Bausher lights up and at that point on airstrikes are off the table. Their is no president going to sign off on a man-made chernobyl. March 07 is the point of no return. The next 4-5 months are going to be real interesting. And by the way GW2 started in Febuary 03. We will See.

#11 Gosh, I'll bet Bush doesn't know that. He prolly doesn't know about the Bausher site, either, come to think of it.

You should email the WH immediately.

#12 I think President Milktoast should fire someone and replace him with his childhood buddy or some friend of the family, and this advice is free.

#13 and this advice is free

That's good. Commensurate with its value.

#14 But it's dripping with snark. Cheap snark.

#16 I'm just tired of this silliness. And the following sequence comes to mind, every time:

[nano-rant]
WTF is the major malfunction here?

People have been saying precisely the same half-brained / half-baked shit for over a year - maybe more. It prolly is easy to get caught up the drop-dead date game, I admit. So many sounded so "real". Well, lotsa drop-dead dates have come... and gone...

And here we are. They don't have the dire thingy. All there is is this endless repetitive stream of sure-fire blather - from DinnerJacket and from the Say Doom! types here.

Who'da thunk it?

Why Bush, that's who. Cuz he knows shit we don't. Prolly lots of stuff we don't.

Fuckin Duh.

#17 I blame everyone for breathing and adding CO2 to the atmosphere and causing global warming.

#18 Well, if that's the case, DV, why don't we just do away with Ahmadinijad ASAP? That 2 birds/1 stone thingy....satisfy those blood-thirsty conservatives, AND the hard-core lefty greenies at the same time, lol!

#19 Or come to think of it, why doesn't President milquetoast just the Kyoto Protocol? I mean that would solve everything, right?

#20 "This is more a case of employing air power combined with limited ground forces."

That's quite a tidy little package ain't it?

#21 Dang it... should be "just sign the Kyoto...."
