It has to do with the excuse someone came up with for Bush getting it wrong.

You have good delivery but bad timing with this one.

Not at all, there is no rational reason for Bush getting it backwards. But if we move the goal line back we can say things like Bush was in a hurry or he suffers from dyslexia.

What exactly did you mean with the flag comment in post #235?

235?

Hey, come on, now. The man can't manage to eat a pretzel, or ride a bike very well. Picking on the handicapped is mean.

Maybe we're just misunderestimating his cunning strategery?

HELL NO!

Now bear with me; I'm going to change that question a bit to make a point. Pretend you are a Muslim in the Middle East and someone asked you the following question:

Quote:

If the US continues its incursion into various countries in this region, don't you think that may be a threat to our national security in the very near future? If so, then would you not support a plan to develop nuclear weapons and a preemptive strike against the US?

What answer would you expect? What answer will cause the most problems?

Asking such a question and believing it is right to start a war over hypotheticals is nothing more than primitive, fear-based, worst-case scenario thinking, and nothing good can come of it. Whether you are Chosen1 on a message board posing the question, or someone overseas posing the question, a yes answer and attack will always cause thing to escalate and you will continue to get more of the SOS; a no answer and MYOB will do the opposite.

So I cannot understand a mindset that believes preemptive strikes are ever the right thing to do.

To all the people sitting behind him [and including Bush], the flag looks perfectly normal. What's your point?

Now that's a perfect way to describe Bush and his administration. To them their abysmal rate of failure looks just right but to everyone else, well it looks bad.

USFlag.org: A website dedicated to the Flag of the United States of America - Why is the Flag patch "backwards" on Military uniforms?

The regulation states that when authorized for application to the proper uniform the American flag patch is to be worn, right or left shoulder, so that “the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the ‘reverse side flag’.”

I say that it doesn't apply to Bush's behavior.
