5:05 It's obvious at this stage that Robinson wanted Buckley to push him up against the wall, balls deep backstage while he yelled "WIlliam, oh willy junior, yes! That's right William! Keep going!".

I like both Buckley and Hitchens, but goddamnit, this Robinson guy is fucking awful.

Robinson is a idiotic sheep who wants to get down on his knees for Buckley.

@MrTruthAddict You do realize that by saying Bush invaded on false pretenses, and the Obama cleaned up the mess, your only giving my point more credence? Obama has increased troops and contractors in the middle east, in fact in the absence of troops, obama has just put in more contractors. In fact, Obama has started two wars in africa that, if you look at what he said while he was running, and you look at how he started that wars, are pretty indefensible. You can't praise Obama, and not like W.

@MrTruthAddict The bin laden family did business with the white house during clinton term, so is that why he failed to go after him?

[acmna]

@MrTruthAddict You should read Lou Cannon's or Edmund Morris's biographies of Reagan, both of those guys lean towards the left, and they both said that Reagan wasn't suffering from alzheimers till after he was out of office.

[MrTruthAddict]

@acmna Also, if you know the signs of Alzheimers, (Ive seen someone die a slow death from it) you know the early signs. Reagan had all the early signs even in his first term. He had brainfarts where he looked around confused as to where he was in the middle of speeches or interviews. Couldnt do a speech at all without cue cards, etc etc. This made him easy to manipulate and the neoconservatives did just that.

[MrTruthAddict]

@acmna Obama has been given the task of cleaning up a mess that Bush made worse by his stupid decisions. Getting Osama should have been done just the way Obama did it. and it should have been done in 2002 instead of letting him roam free to kill more people, like Bush did. But Bush needed Osama alive to be able to exploit Americans with fear of the devil. Plus, the Bush family is good friends with the Bin Laden family. That is a well known fact. They do business together.

@acmna Sorry you dont understand the nuances of what the two are doing differently, but that's not my fault.

Bush invaded a country on false pretenses, which had NOTHING to do with 9-11 whatsoever. Obama HAS been pulling the troops out of there but at this point he can't TOTALLY pull out of there without making matters worse than they were before. Is that so hard to understand?

Bush fucked up Afghanistan by calling off the troops when we had OBL cornered. Obama took the fucker out.
