- sensoukami, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2Uhhh...no stupid. It's "RE-Baathification". Bush got them all fired, and now wants them rehired. Brilliiant stuff that.
- EditorResponse, on 01/13/2008, -4/+2George Bush did it! He hung in there and kept pushing and he did it.
- sensoukami, on 01/13/2008, -0/+5Yeah! He fired them, sparked the civil war, and then wanted to rehire them! my hero! What leadership!
- sensoukami, on 01/13/2008, -0/+2Hold on....so, Bush and Rummy fired all the old Baath Party guys, and then they made re-hiring them a benchmark??? Yet another example of the extreme incompetence of the clowns in the White House.
