Oh look, it's someone from VV acting like a high and mighty asshole, never thought I'd see the day!

On May 31, 2007, President Bush Announced U.S. Support For An Effort To Develop A New Post-2012 Framework On Climate Change By The End Of 2008. The plan recognizes that it is essential that a new framework include both major developed and developing economies that generate the majority of greenhouse gas emissions and consume the most energy, and that climate change must be addressed in a way that enhances energy security and promotes economic growth.

Under The President’s Proposal, The United States Will Convene The Major Emitters And Energy Consumers To Advance And Complete The New Framework By The End Of 2008.

The U.S. remains committed to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and we expect the new framework to complement ongoing UN activity.
The President’s proposal breaks new ground in advancing areas of common interest between developed countries and the major emerging economies.
The effort will build on and advance U.S. relations with the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate and other technology and bilateral partnerships.
The President’s Proposal Is Based On The Principle That Climate Change Must Be Addressed By Fostering Both Energy Security And Economic Security, By Accelerating The Development And Deployment Of Transformational Clean Energy Technologies.

The participants will develop parallel national commitments to promote key clean energy technologies.
The proposal seeks to bring together the world’s top greenhouse gas emitters and energy consumers.
In creating a new framework, the major emitters will work together to develop a long-term global goal to reduce greenhouse gasses.
Each country will work to achieve this emissions goal by establishing its own ambitious mid-term national targets and programs, based on national circumstances.
They will ensure advancement towards the global goal with a review process that assesses each country’s performances.
The President Proposes That All Countries Work Within The UN Process To Strengthen Programs Addressing

Land management- Such as sustainable forestry and protecting the worlds forests;
Energy efficiency;
Advancing global transfer and adoption of clean energy technologies.
The United States Will Continue To Play A Leadership Role In Supporting Global Adoption Of Clean Technology By Promoting Low-Cost Capital Sources To Finance Investment In Development And Deployment Of Transformational Clean Energy Technologies.

We will discuss ways to encourage more investment in developing nations – by making low-cost financing options for clean energy a priority for the international development banks. We will also work to conclude talks with other nations on eliminating tariffs and other barriers to clean energy technologies and services by the end of this year.
America is leading the way with clean energy technology and is stepping up efforts to make advanced energy technology commercially viable.
We are working to expand the use of clean coal technology, solar and wind energy, and clean, safe nuclear power.
We are expanding the use of hybrid and clean diesel vehicles and biodiesel fuel.
We are continuing to invest in new methods of producing ethanol – using everything from wood chips, to grasses, to agricultural wastes.
We are pressing on with battery research for plug-in hybrid vehicles that can be powered by electricity from a wall-socket instead of gasoline.
We are continuing research into advanced hydrogen-powered vehicles that emit pure water instead of exhaust fumes.
Today's Actions Build On The President's Continued Commitment To Our Energy Security And Our Environment

Since The President Took Office, The Federal Government Has Invested $12 Billion To Develop Cleaner, Cheaper, And More Reliable Energy Sources. We have now reached a pivotal moment where advances in technology are creating new ways to improve energy security, strengthen national security, and protect the environment. The President's "Twenty in Ten" goal will help achieve all these priorities.

The President Has Devoted $37 Billion To Climate Change-Related Activities Since 2001. The President has requested an additional $7.4 billion for FY 2008 – $205 million more than this year. This amount would support a wide range of climate change-related research, development, and deployment programs, voluntary partnerships, and international aid efforts.

The President Has Twice Increased Fuel Economy Standards For Light Trucks, Covering Model Years From 2005 Through 2011. The two actions cumulatively raised light truck fuel economy standards from 20.7 mpg prior to 2005, to 24 mpg in 2011. These actions are expected to save 14 billion gallons of fuel over the life of the affected vehicles, and reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 107 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.

We Are Well On Track To Meet – And Currently Projected To Exceed – The President's 2002 Goal Of Reducing U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emission Intensity 18 Percent By 2012. U.S. greenhouse gas intensity declined by 2.5 percent in 2005, much faster than the average decline of 1.9 percent over the 1990-2005 period.

So you want opinion, not fact? Then when people post opinins, you ask for facts to back them up. You are full of shit. You got exactly what you asked for. But, you don't like the fact there are plently of good things accomplished during his presidency. Just like there have been for every single president, ever! There are plenty of good and bad. You are an asshole. But, you know that and are proud of it.

Wasn't it you that was lecturing me on doing the research myself instead of making other people do it, just a few days ago? (rhetorical question, ftw)

You just did the exact same thing, chief. He is providing you with the material you might use to further educate yourself. Or you could just continue to put your fingers in your ears and say "I can't heeeear you" in your best 5 year old voice like the majority of the rest of people here.

Just picking a random fact off that list.

Operation Iraqi Freedom. President Bush initiates military with Iraq dismantling the Saddam Hussein regime and liberating 22 million people

So in you opinion, the invasion and occupation of Iraq is one of the "good things accomplished during his presidency"?

Yes, I do. The intent was good. Unfortunately, Bush didn't have access to your crystal ball, so he didn't foresee the Iraqi people not taking adavntage of this opportunity and seizing control of their country. I guess they are far too lost in their relious brainwashing over the past centuries. It's a damn shame.

Remind me again, what was the intent or purpose?

Was it to strike back at the terrorists responsible for 9/11?
Was it to get rid of Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction?
Was it to improve Israeli relations?
Was it to oust an anti-american dictator and replace him with a pro-american dictator?
Was it to destabilize the area so that your government could award billion dollar contacts to american companies to rebuild their infrastructure?

Oh wait.. I think I remember 'liberate the Iraqi people' as reason they settled on.



And you didn't need a crystal ball to predict the shit-storm that happened and is still happening.
Dozens of people on this forum alone knew what was going to happen. I even predicted a civil war (of sorts) was going to happen and it would probably take 10+ years for it to start cooling down.

Maybe you can google 800 other threads on this board and answer your stupid question. Millions of people predicting everything. Every possible scenario was predicted. However it turned out, arrogant little shits like you could claim..."I PREDICTED THAT! DUH!". You're a simpleton.

[miir]

You're a simpleton

If a simpleton could predict what would happen in Iraq if the US invaded and occupied, what does that make Bush and his cronies?

[Aslanna]

I find the Mid/Funk tagteam hilarious. I can't help but think of the Wonder Twins when they post:

"Wonder Twin powers, activate! Form of a Jackass!"

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

You're a simpleton

If a simpleton could predict what would happen in Iraq if the US invaded and occupied, what does that make Bush and his cronies?

It makes them human, Miir. Human. They were wrong. Over 2000+ men and women have lost their lives fighting over there, because he was wrong. I'm quite certain even they guessed this could happen. They made a calculated decision and it turned out to be wrong. I applaud them for having the balls to do it though. All we can do is hope we learn from our mistakes, but as history has proven, we as humans rarely do. History repeats itself over and over and over. You inability to recognize this simple fact is saddening. The dumbing down of our people is working so fast. Very frightening.

Nice insults Aslanna. You keep up with that. You are a prime example of what I speak about.

That's some awesome self denial!

I love the number of Constitution-shattering surveillance technologies are included under the list of Bush's scientifical achievements. Kudos, Big Brother, please take away double-plus-more of our worthless liberties, please!

You're basing your argument on the false presumtion that we are saying this is ALL about oil.

George W Bush has a many reasons for launching this invasion.

I believe he genuinely feels threatened by Iraq.
I believe he genuinely thinks that Saddam has WOMDs that he wont hesitate to use on American citizens.
You can't ignore that there is a certain 'revenge' factor involved... he is, after all, a cowboy. Saddam dishonoured him and his father.

The oil is potential 'spoils of war'.

A combination of all these reasons, forced him to push for an invasion of Iraq.

What point that I made have I proven myself wrong about? Enough with the ambiguos bullshit snarky comments. Say something.

[Zaelath]

I'd just like to make the point that the google list of achievements is opinion. Uncredited opinion.

You can present opinion as fact all you like, but just putting your opinions into an ordered list (with a few facts in between) does not magically turn them into fact.

For the slow in the class, here's some glaring examples:

January 2001
Clinton staffers vandalize and sabotage the White House leaving behind unusable computers, pornography on the computers and walls, and unusable telephone systems from the cutting of cables and wires.
Executive order by President Bush establishes the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives.

February 2001
President Bush releases agenda for tax relief

March 2001
President Bush signs resolution repealing ergonomics regulation that repeals burdensome and broad regulation dealing with ergonomics.

September 2001
President Bush signs Airline Transportation Bill to assure the safety and stability of the nation's commercial airlines

October 2001
President Bush initiates military action in Afghanistan dismantling the Taliban regime and liberating 25 million people

[Boogahz]

At least four of those appear to be facts. Whether or not they were successful or "good" are opinion.

What exactly are you saying is stupid here? Buysing the cock and bull story about WMDs in Iraq? Or are you actually arguing that anyone who actually believed the administration's lies is an idiot? Because, if that is the case, there is a veritable gold mine of idiocy or lying (or both) with your name attached to it in this forum's archives. Enough to have its own subfolder in current events, in fact.

As for the whole Clinton "operatives" vandalizing the white house before leaving, Drudge much? You have a thing for the gay Republican hack more than anyone else here, even though you have admitted that the Daily Show is a more credible source, on more than one occasion. On the other hand, Bush Sr did fire the entire WH and Administration staff and clear everything out before Clinton took office (unlike any prior President in history) making it one of the roughest presidential transitions ever, because he was a sore loser. Perhaps the Ministry of Fox News Propaganda has you confused again?

In any case, the only actual technologically related things Bush Jr has done are supress stem cell research (against the will of a considerable chunk of his own party), which put us behind most of the western world in medical reasearch, subverted climate research to protect big oil, and of course advance the science of spying on ones own populace more than any president since Nixon. Ususally during wartime, science advances greatly, but this is actually the most stagnant period of scientific development in our national history. There were more new technologies being advanced by the government when fucking Gerald Ford was in office, and he was in there less than half what W has been.

If I thought digging in the archives was worth proving you full of shit, I would bother. Fortunately for me, your every post manages to do that all on their own. You, sir, are a closed minded regurgatator of right wing talking points. The only reason you are now critical of bush, is because the GOP spin machine is putting on a dog and pony show of being critical, all in preperation of distancing themselves from the least popular (and arguably the worst) president in the history of the nation. He has actually eclipsed Nixon in disaproval. Can you even grasp that?

You claim to read all these "big picture" and "non-partisan" news sources. Guess what? I peek at Fox, Drudge, and several other bastions of right wing propaganda on a regular basis. Amazingly enough, while truely neutral sources never seem to have anything resembling your worldview, somehow nearly every argument to post her seems to magically have come from the right wing peanut gallery. This is why you name call and play the holier than thou card every time someone calls you to the carpet, because if you were ever forced to source something, you would have to admit to everyone that the only thing you ever listen to is the right wing echo chamber and that everything you post is just another regurgatated Karl Rove talking point.

As far as I am concerned, the onus is now always on you to back up your bullshit with a credible source (read, not Drudge, Huffington Post, or any other left or right leaning spin machine) or just accept that you are an unpaid shill for the neocons.

So your big picture comes from Google? Or you're just some kinda of ESP riddled savant that the universe has chosen to present the big picture to?

BTW, google is a search engine. It just spews up results based on your search terms, which means your search terms become the defining scope of the world, which means you find what you're looking for and reinforce what you already thought. This is not big picture, this is tunnel vision.

You need to critically analyse what comes down from Google mount, which is why I made such a point of it in this thread. If you take "facts" and add opinion, the entire thing becomes opinion and even makes the "facts" dubious without then fact checking them from another credible source.

My Big Picture philosophy comes from experience. It comes from all my vast experiences with all the people I've interacted with over my 35 years. All the things I've seen. I have lived all over the world. I've seen a lot. There is a lot I haven't seen. It is my philosophy and opinion. I hope you can value my opinion as much as I value yours. I know you don't nor won't, but I continue to hope. Have a wonderful night. I continue to hope you and many of the other hate filled folks that something comes along in your life, maybe kids a new love or something that brings you a better, less hateful and negative view upon others who express a different point of view.

I'm (seriously) not attempting insult here, but this statement baffles me.

At times you come across as extremely belligerent and hostile, but you claim that your opponents in the discussion are the ones who're missing the big picture.
At times you flatly deny the validity of opposing arguments; yet claim that others are at fault for missing the big picture.
At times you make blanket statements and then have a kneejerk reaction to any opposition to those generalisations, causing you to insultedly huff and puff about... your big picture.
You complain about liberal media bias, yet when someone accuses you of partisanship you cry 'Big Picture' once again.

Does it not make sense to you that some people see this as hypocritical? That apparently the Big Picture only applies when someone disagrees with you and not when you disagree with them?

I must admit, I've come to take your 'BigPicture philosophy' as nothing more than your personal trump card - which doesn't really work. It's a strategy that's not conductive to discussion and seems akin to sticking your fingers in your ears while yelling 'nananananana'.

Show me where I have done this. You make these acusations and state them as fact. Is it not reasonable for me to ask to see these? I don't agree. I think I have become very level headed over the past couple years. But, show me these and allow me an opportunity to learn from my mistakes.

That part is hard facts. They had been looking into and planning for Iraq for a very long time.

You're such a simpleton sometimes. Your inability to see big picture, is just frightening.

An insulting response to a straight comment, followed by a 'big picture' invocation.

oh those american bastards... training the new police force and stabilizing the country...

Stabilize?
How is Iraq more stable now than when it was 4 years ago?

LONG TERM!!!!! BIG PICTURE!!!! DON'T BE SO SHORT-SIGHTED!!!!

You don't have the first clue how this will turn out in the long term. Neither does Bush or anybody else.

Someone points out that your Big Picture philosophy seems to be lacking in anything but faith, and you respond with a 'boring.gif' image.

and don't forget ManA gets away.

And don't forget to be short sighted and small minded and not able to look at the big picture...oh wait, you haven't.

Don't worry feeble minded one. The US still wants to get Bin Laden. The size of our force in Afghanistan is still the same. We are still trying.

Someone responds to an analogy of yours and points out an interesting correlation, and you respond with insults ('feeble minded one') and yet another Big Picture.

Mid, I'm honestly not trying to insult you, I'm just attempting to underline why your debating 'technique' is infuriating and completely unsuccessful (unless infuriating is what you're attempting): You claim to have solved all the problems because of your BigPicture1080pWideScreen view of the world but it's mostly invoked by you as a 'yeah and you're stupid' type of comment.

First of all, I don't claim to have solved anything. Not at all. I just feel people get riled up and too focused on very small instances and refuse to take a breath, a step back and look at things beyond the small little scenario at hand. I will try to do a better job with calling peope feeble minded, etc. I've been just responding with kind in the way people treat me here and how losely they throw around much more hurtful and dispicable terms like racist, etc. I need to be above that behavior. Thank you.

edit: Forgot to say 'You're welcome'.

I think part of the reason why people get 'riled up', as you say, about the little things is that just because it's small doesn't mean it's insignificant. All big things are composed of small things, and sometimes, it's the tiniest thing that starts the landslide. I realize this sounds like platitudes, but...

We've had a discussion on civil liberties here (more than one, I'm sure), and someone made the great point that things such as freedom of expression, freedom to congregate etc aren't taken away all at once, they're slowly eroded over the years. In a situation such as this, I'd actually say that the one crying out against it is the one with the eye on the bigger picture.

There's an episode of The West Wing called 'The Indians in the Lobby', I wish I had the exact quote but it goes something like this:

". . .How many treaties have we signed with the Munsee Indians?"
"Six."
"How many have we revoked?
"Six
"What were the Munsees doing in 1778?"
"Fighting in George Washington's Army."
"And why aren't you in New York anymore?"
"'Cause he marched us to Wisconsin."
"And whose land was it in the first place?"
"Ours."
". . . How do you keep fighting these smaller injustices when they are all from the mother of all injustices?" C.J. asks.
"What's the alternative?"
