Skyrad 0 #1 May 16, 2004 So Tony Blair is going to pay for his support for Bush's war in Iraq by loosing his job. Its been widly reported in the British media that his own party has had enough and are making plans to dump him SOON. Today his former Forigen Minister Robin Cook demanded that he make plans to extricate our troops from Iraq which has wide support from other members within his own party. If he does not then there is little doubt that British troops will go not long after he does. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040515/325/eto60.htmlWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

In fact I'd say George is going to go on a permanent vacation. Hey what say we invite Rummy the Dummy along too. blues jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andybr6 0 #3 May 16, 2004 QuoteAsked whether they trust Blair, 61 percent said "no" and 36 percent "yes." Hmmm who really trusts politicians. If that was the question that the article was based around then i would treat it with scepticsm. I do not think we should have gone into the war; but i do not think that it was just Blair. I think it is far too easy to assign blame on just one person; at the end of the day he isnt a dictator, if his ministers did not agree with him [despite waht they might say in public] he would have already been kicked out. ------------------------------------------------ "All men can fly, but sadly, only in one direction" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #6 May 17, 2004 Actualy several of his cabnet did leave, the most vocal an senior bing Robin Cook (Foreign Minister) But we've got a general election coming up and so as party head its Blairs that will be rolling. I was totaly against the war but now our troops are there on the ground and the situation is as it is I do think we have a moral obligation to sort the mess we created out before bailing.

TheAnvil 0 #11 May 17, 2004 One actually has to possess a modicum of intellect to understand 'sKerry', 'El Jefe Clintonista', 'Clintonista' or 'Dims'.

Your standards for possession of even a "modicum of intellect" are set rather low. Correction - very low.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

billvon 3,120 #13 May 17, 2004 >One actually has to possess a modicum of intellect to >understand 'sKerry', 'El Jefe Clintonista', 'Clintonista' or 'Dims'. Such schoolyard tactics put one squarely at the lowest level of intellectual discourse. A belief that repeating calumniations against someone somehow substitutes for facts and intelligent opinion is one that most people outgrow by age 15 or so. But then again, that's what we created this board for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAnvil 0 #16 May 17, 2004 However did you infer such Bill? Whenever such things are used, fairly interesting points are made in most cases. The calumniations to which you refer are there to add humor - not to make points in and of themselves. The El Jefe Clintonista/Clintonista sobriquet is an OBVIOUS and humorous jibe at the many similarities between the beliefs espoused by the Clinton and Sandinista regimes. Please find me a 15 year old on the lower end of the intellectual spectrum that could actively participate in a discourse on that topic - I'd wager they are far fewer in # than those capable of understanding Rummy the Dummy. 'sKerry' requires one to affiliate Kerry's name (with an added prefix) with the redneck pronunciation of the mis-spelled word. Simple, but far more complex than Rummy the Dummy. Calumniation. That's going to be my word of the day the next time I argue with my boss. Hadn't read or heard that in a while. Maybe my next zany poem will contain the word. It does rhyme with tintintabulation.....

billvon 3,120 #17 May 17, 2004 >However did you infer such Bill? Whenever such things are used, >fairly interesting points are made in most cases. Your experience must be different than mine, then. I find people use such terms to _replace_ valid points. "But didn't you vote for El Jefe Clintonista?" "Well, at least I'm not voting for a shrub!" I could have watched a bluejay poop on a car and learned more than I did from that exchance. >Please find me a 15 year old on the lower end of the intellectual > spectrum that could actively participate in a discourse on that topic - I went to school with a bunch of them. Making up amusing and secretly offensive names for unpopular teachers and students was a favorite pastime during high school. Mrs. Vachris became Mrs. Vacuois, a commentary on her mental abilites easily disguised as bad handwriting (and probably beyond her vocabulary even if she read it correctly.) Father Corchin became Father Cochon. At 250+ pounds, he bore a remarkable resemblance to the eponymous animal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
