I've even seen them project their projection, a feat even more recursive than the fabled ko-ko bird's ability to fly in ever-decreasing circles until it disappears up its own cloaca as literally as a typical wingnut pundit does figuratively.<br /><br />"The deathbarriers <i>were</i> destructible -- but only from the inside."

It is the same projection of their own sins onto domestic political opponents taken to the international stage.<br />The big difference between Putin or ISIS and say GWBush is where Bush wanted to pose his swagger with no thought to where it would all lead or end, Putin and ISIS seem to have a very good idea what they want, how to get it and a willingness to follow through on their program. <br />And if only Bush hadn't opened the Iraqi can of worms the troubles we now see certainly in Iraq and possibly Ukraine (how much has Russia been spurred on to secure it's position the Black Sea by the instability in Mid East?) might not be dogging us and the world. But the Dubaya wasn't a real conservative so you can't blame them for this mess, now can you?Frednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-9400535336117727282014-09-03T01:40:10.298-05:002014-09-03T01:40:10.298-05:00Coalition of the unsuccessful?
