Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Here ya go...http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/nationwor...ews-nationworld 336536[/snapback] The fact that he states he's breaking ranks with the Democratic Party in offering a SS plan rather more contradicts your point that supports it...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 So, the Dem contribution is making sure nothing gets accomplished? 335956[/snapback] Yes. What is better? Nothing or something that cripples you? Of course when an immediate rescue is out of the question... What is better? Treading water, keeping your head above water and breathing or drowning? I will pick nothing for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a fundamental tenent of most leadership courses that it's better to act decisively than perfectly. Waiting for the "perfect option" to show itself is almost always worse than going with your best idea with immediacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transition in America is truly an ugly thing. On paper, people don't suffer. Yet, I do agree with you on being decisive and "perfect option." We just differ on what your best idea is.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 No... Not listening to the transition team lead to 911. 337925[/snapback] I don't believe that BS story for a half-second. More likely, given that unconscionably stupid pinhead Clarke was part of the transition team, they didn't provide anything worth listening to anyway. The fact is, if Clarke had been doing HIS job in Clinton's second term, there probably wouldn't even be any need to discuss the transition.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 And saying "they ignored the transition team" isn't? 338037[/snapback] Touche! Yet... Your subjective behavior was thinking the information was not worthy. Can't fault the people floating it out there, just the guys who think it is stupid. It is a one-way street as I see... Can't have too much crazy info out there... Kinda like dismissing 4 long shots coming in 1,2,3, and 4 in the derby. The burden falls on the guy who dismisses!

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 That's not exactly true, is it? You remember that whole Afghani-Soviet war thingy? 338365[/snapback] Let's see...I said that trying nothing is what we did for eight years, which led to 9/11. You bring up the Soviet-Afghan war. And I'm supposed to say what, precisely? "Yeah, I can see how the Reagan administration's overt support of the Afghan Mujahadeen against the Soviets during the Cold War relates directly to Clinton's failure to engage in any way any of the parties that were instrumental in forming the Talebanic Afghan government in the '90s." What is it that you're trying to say...that there's some sort of commonality between Reagan's support of fundamentalist Islam and Clinton's "We're done using you; we don't give two ***** about Southwest Asia." foreign policy?
