    Oh hell no.

    Just that 9/11 amplified his absolute worst tendencies and gave Cheney and Rumsfeld even more influence.

    Without 9/11, he never gets the perfect conditions to allow a manufactured reason to go after Saddam Hussein and “avenge” his daddy. To say nothing about Afghanistan.

    I do wonder about an alternate universe in which 9/11 doesn’t happen during Bush’s tenure. Cheney and his gang of thugs were itching for war - who do they set their sights on?

    That’s my point. He was known for consensus building as a governor and I believe that but for 9/11 that would have led to getting a lot done on the domestic front. There would have been no chance for “revenge” on Hussein unless Hussein was dumb enough to instigate. Oh well ifs and buts etc

    His absolutely palpable desperate need to please his father and allowing himself to be led around by his nose by Cheney and Rumsfeld were always going to manifest themselves during his presidency.

    He’s the Kendall Roy of the Bush family.

    In the absence of 9/11 that would be relevant. You aren’t implying 9/11 was a false flag are you?

  3. I think W could’ve been a very good president had 9/11 not happened. He was very good at working across the aisle. I think we would’ve gotten true immigration reform passed and possibly meaningful healthcare legislation. However, he is an intellectual lightweight and was surrounded by the absolute worst possible combination of advisors to deal with that attack. As a result, he got us into an endless war and cost us trillions of dollars and that is his legacy.

    Can you not tell with your own ears? And I'm fine with having him take a cognitive test but you and I both know that will never happen

    (I don't think he'd lose)

    Not only would he lose he would probably have to pull out of the general due to health issues. Hell the post nomination campaign might kill him. Obese 77 year olds who live on fast food and amphetamines don’t stand up to the rigors of 20 hour work days

    You lied right out of the gate.  You are a mark.  You have been duped and you don't even know it.  

    Try not to be such a horrible human being.

     

     

     

    The think I liked most about that frontline is the guy talking about Biden’s stutter is a stutterer. Really elicits empathy IMO

    Really? I thought Ojomo and Murphy balled out. I didn't notice Barron but I guess that's why a corner would grade out well.

    I guess having your best players grade out average being described as doing well is where we are at as a program

    Don't know how this was missed but Jimbo said this on Finebaum on last Wednesday....

    Texas A&M head football coach Jimbo Fisher is no stranger when it comes to making bold claims about his team. And on Wednesday, as a guest on the Paul Finebaum Show, Fisher made a bold statement on Texas A&M and the College Football Playoff.

    “I think we will be, I think we were a year ago. I really thought we should be in the playoffs, but we’re not,” Fisher said. “We finished fourth (in the SEC West), but I think we’re in that area. At the end of the year, Alabama had a tremendous team, but I think we were the second-best team in the country when you get down to it.

    An SEC loss should count the same as a win vs a non SEC team. It just means more

    UNFATHOMABLE that anyone on the defense would be talking behind the QB's back. 

    I can believe they would. It’s ridiculous given his level of effort on the field vs theirs, but sure. Again, I’m with coach Davis on where they can go

    You can choose to believe it or not. Doesn’t bother me one bit. It all happened though. Feel free to convince yourself otherwise if you wish. 

    Yeah that defense would have played so much better had Casey quietly agreed to be Card’s backup. Imagine that bunch of scrubs calling anyone QB2

    When he walked into Sark’s office after cleaning out his locker 7 days before the season and saying he was leaving unless he was given playing time, he forced Sark into two options

    a) tell Casey to kick rock and hit the portal, but roll into the season with Card and Ben Ballard (who outperformed Charles Wright in camp) as your two QB options.

    b) ensure yourself at least some QB depth by catering to his demand and dangling a carrot out there by saying he will play

    Sark chose option B, which he’s probably glad he did in the short term after Arkansas. 

    Or maybe, you know, keep the QB competition open prior to the start of conference play given you don’t really know shit about either QB in a game situation
