Ridge - "...the president intuitively realized we are at war."
"It is a permanent condition. "


You guys have probably already seen this, but it is news to me and I wanted to comment.

First, how intuitive do you have to be to realize we are at war. If you are bombing the hell out of people, then it should be pretty obvious that you are at war. If you are the one who ordered the bombing, it should be even more obvious.


It is a permanent condition? Are they that stupid, or do they think the American people are that stupid? My guess is the latter and unfortunately, the are probably right for the most part. I cannot believe that they would say that we are in a permanent state of war. Alarm bells should be going of like crazy, but I don't here anything.

1. We weren't at war. Bush's intuition sucks.
England gets IRA attacks all the time. They don't launch missiles at Ireland.

Terrorism is not war. George wanted an excuse for war and took it. Intuition had nothing to do with it. Orders from Rove and Cheney did.

Ridge is a liar or an idiot. I actually lean toward idiot.

6. When the IRA attacks England, they treat it as what it is:
A crime of violence. They not only don't launch missiles at Ireland, the don't launch them at some 3rd party who was uninvolved and has lots of oil.

8. And he didn't know it until Bush's intuition told him....
and then he thought, "Yeah, that's the ticket...we're at war now..."

9. It's laughable....
When low-IQ spinmeisters try to spin "delusion" into "intuition".

Nice try moron.
