Another proponent of the Batman philosophy of presidential conduct. What should he have done? Run out to the ruins of the WTC and exclaim to Cheney, “Those dastardly villains!!!”
Oh wait... that's what he did.
Then - GOOD JOB!

Clearly he lacks the intelligence and independence of thought to make that judgement call. When I say mashed potatoes from the eyebrows on back, this is what I mean.

Oh, nice to see it's not just me. You reveal your utter stupidity with others, as well.
Of course, you deliberately remove the salient point from what you quote, but mal quite clearly stated what a "leader" should have done - gathering info, rather than sitting there is petrified silence being a good start.
how you read that, and then jump to spuer tights is utterly amazing. Did you stop taking your meds, or something?

Most of that was Blair stuff. In fact, Blair set ALL of that up.

And officially the UK IS still a Christian country. Obviously it isn't in practise, although officially it is.
But I guess you'll find some great excuse to ignore all the links I posted up?

I hate to pull the troll card, but I don't how else to explain the way Finn so easily misses the blatantly obvious. Troll? Or near psychotic level of Bush worship? (trying hard not to add the obvious R rated joke here...
) -----------------------------------------------

The only fathomable link with some credibility that even mentions UK funding doesn't mention the Government, merely parties within the UK, and also mentions that most of the funding would be coming from Saudi Arabia. I'm sorry to burst some sort of Daily Express induced bubble of outrage, but there it is.
The only link that says it is to be funded by the UK Government, was this:

Which is a meaningless and unsupported blog spot. It's about as useful as me saying "no it isn't". Linking to an unsupported opinion piece is no better than not linking at all.
Thanks though, I asked you for links, and everything of any merit you provided supported my original statement.
Quote:In the same way the UK is a Monarchy, yeah.
And officially the UK IS still a Christian country. Obviously it isn't in practise, although officially it is.
Either way, there's still no rule against the UK Government funding religious enterprise of any denomination.
Quote:Why would I do that? Your links prove me right.
But I guess you'll find some great excuse to ignore all the links I posted up?
Quote:Yes, as we all know criticising the Israeli government is the same thing as anti-Semitism, except of course it isn't.
Yep, a PM that does U-Turns weekly, and an anti-Semitic Mayor are MUCH better...
Boris has no policies, and was elected on the platform of "the other guy is wrong". Cameron is running on a platform of "the other guy is wrong". Notice a pattern at all? Neither has any policies of their own, and I note with some dissatisfaction, how British politics seems to be slowly sliding into the mire of Americanised races of personality. With a dissatisfied public merely saying "the other guy is wrong", might serve to get elected, but it doesn't make for a workable policy.
Also, in case you haven't noticed (which evidently you haven't) I've not really endorsed either Ken Livingstone nor Gordon Brown. Gordon Brown is evidently someone ideal suited to being 'number 2' and I haven't voted Labour in years. I don't see that Ken has done a disastrous job in London, certainly not bad enough to be replaced by the laughing stock of 'Have I Got News for you". Many of the current problems of this country stem from the Major and Thatcher regimes, and Labour has merely been too incompetent to set them straight. I'm sure as hell not ready to stick the people that caused them in the first place back in power, because Labour haven't fixed them though.
