Pure addictive personality psychology.
__________________He's obviously struggling with staying off the cigarettes, gyms are the replacement. Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt smoked for years, frequently lighting up in TV interviews and smoking where it is illegal to do so, and he's still alive at 90. It's a terrible tragedy for the health fascists. They really can't stand it. They wish he would die, so then they could say: "SEE! WE TOLD YOU SO!!" ![]() |

Posting just cause I love that tern right wing freak machine..
Late Thursday night, General Wesley Clark cast himself as a victim of the "right wing freak machine" after his comments on John McCain's military service caused a bout of political pandemonium. Speaking to an adoring crowd at Netroots Nation in Austin, the General said that he "was taken out of context" when, on CBS' Face the Nation, he remarked that McCain's time as a POW did not serve as a qualification for the White House "There is just no other way to say it," said Clark. "Someone said to me 'This is a playbook operation by the right wing freak machine, the great freak show where they take a statement, distort it, blast it out of context and make it personal. They are so good at it they did all three steps in three hours and you fought back and I'm grateful for you from the bottom of my heart.'" Putting aside the descriptive words, Clark's remarks were clearly used as campaign kindling for McCain, whose campaign held three straight days of press conferences to hammer both the general and Barack Obama on the issue. The presumptive Republican nominee and his surrogates said Clark had belittled McCain's service for political gain. In the process McCain trotted out a member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to not only defend the Arizona Republican but also attack Clark's record as well. The irony continued soon thereafter, when the McCain campaign (after insinuating that military service was not fodder for a general election) put out a campaign commercial that focused greatly on his time in Vietnam. |

to an even greater degree, the WH follows Obama and puts lipstick on what is a timetable for withdrawal:
Quote:
i see. a "general time horizon" isn't a timetable? so ... things are going so well in Iraq, the surge was such a piece of brilliance, that we've won in Iraq -- which McCain himself is now saying Quote:
so, now that we've won in Iraq, we can start to bring the troops home, only we can't because if we do bring them home, then what we'll wind up losing. so even though we've won, we won't have won unless we keep fighting forever. or, we can call this what it is. McCain wants to continue to find justifications to keep troops in Iraq so they can be used if/when someone finds something to justify the "bomb bomb Iran" policy -- perhaps staying on the ground in Iraq and continuing to meddle in Iraqi affairs will finally provide us with the "smoking gun" needed to attack Iran that will be every bit as reliable as all that WMD evidence that made the threat of Iraq to the world's innocents so imminent that war, and only war, was the way out. is it happening all over again? ever get the impression that McCain thinks that Bush was right, but that Bush was just an incompetent boob who fucked up what were sound policies -- that we're going to go back to the triumphant unilateralism of 2002/3 should we see McCain in the White House? |

If conditions on the ground continue to improve and the Iraqi military continues to grow in capability, US troops will be withdrawn, which is consistent with what the President has always said: as they stand up, we'll stand down. Quote:

no, i smell McCain's, and Bush's, desperation. they want to remove Iraq as an issue.
"we've won. troops are coming home. no need to discuss anything." McCain and Bush want to move more troops to Afghanistan -- just like Obama's been saying. we've recently learned that the White House sent a top diplomat to directly negotiate with the Iranians over nuclear power -- just like Obama's been saying he will. and, clearly, McBush has moved closer to Obama's position on withdrawing troops from Iraq -- today, we now have a "time horizon" from the White House with claims of "victory!" from McCain. |

Huffington Post
In an interview with the Kansas City Star, John McCain says Barack Obama was labeled as having the "most extreme" record in the Senate. "Extreme? You really think hes an extremist? I mean, he's clearly a liberal," interviewer Dave Helling asks. "That's his voting record," McCain responds. "All I said was his voting record, and that is more to the left than the announced Socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont." "Do you think he's a socialist, Barack Obama?" Helling asks. McCain responds with a with a shrug, "I don't know." Helling One on One with McCain |

The following is from Kenneth Pollack, Bill Clintons chief National Security Advisor on Iraq: "The Iranians got kicked in the teeth in the past six months," said Kenneth Pollack, of the Brookings Institution.A major test for Iraq's military was a spring offensive in Basra, where the people were "delighted to have the government troops there," Pollack said. "They were so desperate to get rid of" the Mahdi Army, a militia loyal to anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Iran-linked attacks subside in Iraq - USATODAY.com Quote:
Bush has always wanted to withdraw from Iraq, but ONLY when conditions on the ground warrented it. Obama has never had such prerequisites or conditions for a withdrawal to begin. The Democratic foreign policy analyst Michael O'Hanlon had this to say about Obama's position on Iraq: "To say you're going to get out on a certain schedule – regardless of what the Iraqis do, regardless of what our enemies do, regardless of what is happening on the ground – is the height of absurdity." |
