I HATE to even bring this up, but how long before the revisionists start giving credit to Dubya

[Maru Kitteh]

for "planting the seeds of freedums" in the middle-east? I can't be the only person who's thought of this.

On the other hand - if the house of Saud falls, how many Bush family skeletons are going to come screaming out of THAT closet?

1. I think their waiting to see how it turns out.

If the protests lead to free states Bush gets the credit, if it leads to a bunch of Irans, its Obama's fault.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. Yup. I've noticed the only one stupid enough to hook their wagon to this mess

is Glen Beck. What the hell does he have to lose? In our market (rural Nebraska mind you) they can't even sell enough advertising to cover the spots on his show. BIG embarrassing lapses of 15 to 60+ seconds of DEAD AIR. It makes me all warm inside to see him FAIL.

7. I know its great... His ratings have tanked big time

Last I saw they were down 50% from whenever the last time the took the poll. I'm surprised Glenn Beck isn't say he cause the Middle East protests. He's such a megalomaniac.

6. And if it turns out even better than can be imagined,

they'll give Regan credit for it.

10. "Mr. Hosni-Momar-Saud..... TEAR DOWN THIS .. uh...... this ......

uncomfortably homicidal yet remarkably cozy relationship!

[JVS]

2. Don't forget that they'll be talking about how Obama lost Egypt at the same time.

[Jmaxfie1]

4. yep! n/t

[pampango]

12. That is what the repub mantra will be. Who "lost" Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, etc. rather than

giving bush credit for "winning" in those countries. Too much freedom for Egyptians, et. al. is not really on their agenda. Democracy is good for the West, but controllable dictators are quite acceptable for the rest of the world particularly in countries that provide us with natural resources.

5. No, all the credit goes to Reagan.

Reagan is the benevolent god of the United States, and bestows the gifts of freedom on the world as he sees fit.

[Jmaxfie1]

8. I remember when the Repubs said that the budget surplus...

under Clinton was actually a delayed affect of the Reagan Tax Cuts. :wtf:

[begin_within]

9. Bush bombed Iraq to make Egypt free!

Abracadabra!

[Posteritatis]

11. They started making that claim the moment Ben Ali stepped down. (nt)

[Tunkamerica]

13. It was really George Washington... or Caeser
