The Almighty
1. that Bush would suck as president. Not just once but twice.
2. That Iraq would turn out to be a long quagmire, not a 6 weeks or 6 months thing.
3. That the sub prime mortgage scheme would fail miserably.
4. That personal debt loads would be a big issue.
Your picking of things like the surge and eventually we would have a downturn is pretty pathetic.
If you had been right in the past a surge would not have been needed.
Your problem lies in the fact that you project your opinions of my position as actually being my positions.
1) From the beginning I stated that Iraq was poorly timed and poorly planned. I did state that I believed the war was inevitable (which many idiots on the left seem to continually mistake for "you support Bush".) but that is not the same thing.
2) I have harped on the dismantling of Glass Steagall since it began in 1992. So no, you have no claim of superiority there either.
3) Once Iraq began, yes, I supported the addition of more troops (as the generals on the ground kept calling for). You did not. You claimed it would not work. It did.
4) I never stated that Iraq would be done in 6 weeks or 6 months and made fun of those that did. So again, your projection that you were correct on this and that I was somehow wrong is only half correct.
5) I doubt anyone on this board has been more vocal about the stupidity of the lack of fiscal responsibility in this country than I have. Both on an individual and governmental basis.
