Texas. Enough said.

Seriously - the US government is full of this sort of incompetance, regardless of party.

So, which do you prefer? The party that got us into the Iraq mess, or the party that, for the most part, meekly went along with it rather than be labeled unpatriotic?

What a great choice.

Yep, USA is stupid, until someone wants something.

That's bullshit. North Korea insists they need to talk with USA, and whine over sanctions.
Iraqi leaders, want us to stay another year.
Iran, thinks they should have aid.
Blows me away how these people think they're owed.

But if you want to complain about Fox News, you need to note that Ned quoted from the beloved CNN.

Blows me away how these people think they're owed. Iraq doesn't count, because the current Iraqi leadership is propped up by US forces. North Korea wants to talk to us because of something we are already doing to them (the sanctions). They would be happy if we totally disengaged ourselves from the Korean peninsula. Iran, the same thing.

Now, there are actually countries that do want things from us. Israel is the most obvious example, but a number of countries in Eastern Europe also come to mind. But in all of your cases, most parties want the US less involved, not more involved.

I think I might start listing on my resume, high ranking government officials that I am smarter than.

No. They'd have one fewer country to try and extort aid from. They rely on exortion because sanctions have denied them any other recourse. Carrot and stick diplomacy only works when the carrot isn't also a stick.

NK relies on extortion because their regime has done a wonderful job of repressing their society to such an extent that they've stifled any sort of development. Sanctions? Yes, but then again China gives them all sorts of free goodies (food, power). The fact is their economy is totally dysfunctional, and it's not our fault.

NK whines and cries and threatens because that's they only way they think they can have their cake and eat it too (get the goodies and stay in power w/o any serious reform). So far, it's largely worked, because we've been reluctant to simply walk away and ignore them. There are valid reasons for that, mind you, but I've always wished we'd tried just ignoring them.

They trade freely with the Chinese, but they don't really have anything anybody else wants.

[GWRIeEQp]

They trade with China. I already told you that.

They don't change because Kim is a ****ing maniac.

You guys apparently don't get the humor in Nancy Pelosi appointing this dim bulb as chair of the "intelligence" committee after she, more than any other Dem, campaigned on Republican incompetence.

But more.

What is the common refrain of liberal comics across the world? Just how stupid Republicans are -- after all, they believe in God.

But this idiot is beyond the pale. He tops Ford (Poland is not dominated by the Soviet Union) in his ignorance.

Nancy Pelosi is beyond arrogant in putting this fool in charge of such an important committee. She must think the American Republic is toilet paper she can wipe her ... with to amuse herself.
