bosnia-herzegovina changed everything!

[unblock]

according to banana republican logic, clinton had to live up to a standard where he was under the law, couldn't spy on people or steer no-bid contracts to buddies and donors, couldn't get blow jobs, couldn't lie in private matters, and of course it was perfectly appropriate to criticize our commander-in-chief when there were troops abroad.

9/11 changed everything, they say.

but now that our troops abroad are back to nation-building, trying to promote a suitable, peaceful government in an area brimming with civil war -- starting to sound remarkably similar to what the troops were doing when clinton was president, isn't it? -- has everything changed back?

do you think the banana republicans think we should revert to the standards for criticizing the president when a democrat was in office?



yeah, riiiiiight....

1. turns out the only thing that really changed was

presidential power and perogatives, and that we shouldn't criticize him. "Wartime" means that the president has power and can't be criticized, but nothing else. "Homeland Security" mean our government spies on us and trusts the UAE. Nothing changed except what Bush found convenient in exercising uncontrolled power over us.
