Obamanomics: Bad for the economy...

Regarding shock and awe, I don't know how I can make it any clearer, plain. The reason you keep seeing me use it in my posts is because you challenged me and continue to challenge me on it. I've explained myself as well as I can. I don't think you choose to make an effort to understand my point. As far as I'm concerned, we can give that a rest.

Congress dodged taking responsibility for the war in Iraq by giving Bush the power to go off and do it. You even cited stuff that indicated that. It's been done in the past, i.e., Vietnam. Congress did not decide that they thought it was right to declare war on Iraq. They decided to let Bush do it and take the heat for it. If you're talking about the Congress voting to extend the war and send more troops, commit more money, etc., they sure did do that.

Shock and awe, technically known as rapid dominance, is a military doctrine based on the use of overwhelming power, dominant battlefield awareness, dominant maneuvers, and spectacular displays of force to paralyze an adversary's perception of the battlefield and destroy its will to fight. The doctrine was written by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade and is a product of the National Defense University of the United States in 1996.

BJean, that doesn't even make sense. They gave him the power to do it. They condoned it. They voted to give him the ability to do it. Now, you can try to rewrite history all you want in order to feed your insatiable need to blame Bush only, but 2/3 of the Congress said, "Yes, we give you the authority, the power, and the ability to bomb Iraq."

You can deny it all you want, but it just makes you look silly.

Silly is claiming that I am denying anything. This discussion was between plain and me. You obviously are out of the loop.

Your posts are nothing but denials of facts we prove up, especially if it flies in the face of your agenda. It would be silly if it wasn't so pathetic and sad.

And if you are having a private conversation with somebody, I would assume it is in PM.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
