ADMINISTRATION TALKS TOUGH BUT ACTS WEAK

[Nancy Waterman]

I saw Senator Robert Menendez on Olberman tonight. He was trashing the latest Bush stupidity: letting our ports be run by an Arab government with ties to al Qaeda. He used a great phrase that the Dems should pick up on. He said:

"The administration talks tough but acts weak."

2. The anti - TR: "I speak loudly... but I have a tiny stick" n/t

5. "I speak loudly... but I have a tiny stick"

Replace the 'st' with a 'd' and you may be onto something.

[Wheezy]

4. All of them, and they're absolute chickens...

It's easy to talk tough when you send other people's children to die in a war that has nothing to do with protecting the country. And then you land on an aircraft carrier with exaggerated crotch padding, trying to look like a badass.
Just like the big bully on the block, Bush, Cheney and co. are really big cowards, with all the false bravado masking a whole lot of inadequacy. I heard a commentator describe shrub as a "loser who knows he's a loser" who has to scream loudly to try and seem like he's not.

6. It should be clear that BUSH IS WEAK ON TERRORISM!!

All he cares about is regime change and nation building. He doesn't give a shit about protecting this country.

7. Yes, I agree. This is by far the most dangerous

shortcoming of this administration. They act tough, but then they relent, change their minds, fork over some cash, talk tough some more, get down on their bended knees and beg.

This is the Single Most destructive thing Bush has done. He's allied himself with the wrong people, and spit in the faces of the wrong people. They simply cannot get it right.

What Bush has done is MAKE THE WORLD MUCH MORE UNSTABLE by their idiotic actions. The world has no choice but to act in their own interests. It's almost like these fools are baiting them to go against the US and kick sand in our faces. There is SO MUCH that has gone under the radar that really hasn't hit the mainstream media on our colossal failures.

Even ordinary negotiations have been botched by these clowns. An article over at Counter Punch wrote "that time and time again, the US keeps losing in negotiations and plans where we should be succeeding, or at least maintaining our position". The author was scratching his head over our stupidity; couldn't figure it out.

Neither can I.
