Tweety says the bugle boys - the hawks and neo-cons must shut up

after their 'clusterfuck' (my word) in Iraq.

The rest of the world lost a lot of respect for America - it's not Obama - it's US foreign policy turned into that illegal war.

1. He's got a lot of nerve. He lost all credibility with his 'Mission Accomplished' fawning.

What's the importance of the president's amazing display of leadership tonight? The president there -- look at this guy! We're watching him.

And that's the president looking very much like a jet, you know, a high-flying jet star. A guy who is a jet pilot.

He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics.

Here's a president who's really nonverbal. He's like Eisenhower. He looks great in a military uniform. He looks great in that cowboy costume he wears when he goes West. I remember him standing at that fence with Colin Powell. Was [that] the best picture in the 2000 campaign?

Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president.

2. True true

Lots of men lost credibility

4. Could be worse

Remember him fawning over Fred Thompson's fragrance?

3. Yeap....

The EU is trying to rise up as its own economic power....and recognize that the US government is trying to pit them against another rising economic power (Russia) in order to keep both of them weak.....and its not working. The EU may do some "gestures" to slap Russia on the wrist....but at the end of the day, they will continue relations with Russia as if nothing happened.

The EU and Russia need each other more than either of them need the US currently.
