Yeah, but he's still many, many bombs behind Arafat.

"Obama has launched more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace Prize winners combined."

And promptly, too.

Shrubya took months to respond to the nerve gas warheads in Iraq.

I miss King Log.

that gosh darned causality

Nope. GWB moved faster than the speed of light sending him backwards through time and removing the nerve gas warheads from Iraq before the troops arrived raising questions about the circumstances which precipitated the invasion.

You've lost me.

I was referring to the freshly-drained warheads the UN found in November 2002, which had traces of nerve gas in them-- which, since nerve gas has to break down within days of exposure to air to be militarily useful (it's intended to clear a region for ground troops to invade) means that they were full not more than a week earlier. Swift response would have caught it in transit; President Dunsel took four months to respond.

As it is, invading Syria would be unhealthy; it's stable in storage.

About Descartes, I am certain that I found in one of his letters the obviously heretical statement that God can be both larger and smaller than Himself.
