I can't help but notice that when the lies came out, we kept invading.
"Most of the major key judgments in the Intelligence Community’s October 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), Iraq’s Continuing Programs for Weapons of Mass Destruction, either overstated, or were not supported by, the underlying intelligence reporting.

"He may have won by a narrow margin in '68, but he won reelection by a landslide. that doesn't happen to "bad presidents"." sure is does. Getting votes just means you are popular, not that you are a good person, leader, or military tactician.
Also, people vote on what they 'know' at the time. Had people actually know what he was doing, ti may have been a different story. His landslide was largely based on ending Vietnam..they very war his action kept going for years after it was going to win.
Mos those water shed moment would ahe been open to any president. Contrary to popular belief, Nixon wasn't they only person who cold have gone to China. China need to be close to America becasue the Russians where advancing on China's border. Something China could not repel in any long term way.
"-The New Federalism that gave back much power to the states that previously had been the Feds" Which was disastrous.
He vetoes the clean water act. When Congress overrode his veto, he impounded the money. Completely ignoring the constitution. He is the reason we have this horrible HMO insurance monopoly. He created the War on Drugs. He cut spending on the NIH. Publicly he talked about fighting disease, but his actions showed otherwise. He passed the buck on segregation He killed NASA's vision. He tried to kill medicaid. He never considered watergate wrong.
This Only Nixon could go to China stuff was bullshit then, and it's still Bullshit. And it wasn't what Spock meant to boot.
Not only that, it was done illegally by bypassing the cabinet. Even then that wasn't why he got to China. The Russian/China border clashes and China's more limited military weaponry had China looking for an ally. His belief that we should leave a billion people to stew in isolation is correct, but he wasn't the only one to believe it.
Who else were the Chinese going to reach out to in order to give the Russians pause about attacking China?
Nixon was against the EPA, but the nation wanted it. He grudgingly created it.
He created a food shortage.
He only endorsed the ERA AFTER it passed both houses. "no indication that they were ever close to a settlement in that time. a" that's just wrong.
Some of us were alive and remember these events. He did nothing that wasn't available to any other president. Would a different president done it differently? enough to matter? we will never know.
Actually, you should get a clue. or even better, some facts:
Johnson escalated American involvement in the Vietnam War, from 16,000 American advisors/soldiers in 1963 to 550,000 combat troops in early 1968, as American casualties soared and the peace process bogged down.
Johnson believed in the domino theory.
Johnson was trying to prevent the hawks from gaining power and demanding a total win.
Johnson's plan worked, until it was sabotaged by Nixon illegal and treasonous act..
we can discuss the impact and weather or not the Domino theory is correct., but if you believe in the domino theory, then Johnson's actions were the smart actions.
So a top story form a week ago is no longer the top story in a 24 hour news cycle.
Do you even know how RSS works?
When a media outlet is constantly looking for any story to constantly change their headlines, most of the stories are going to be worthless pop culture junk.
True, but OpenAtrium type products are going to replace email. There just a lot better at that type of communications,and make dealing with spam a lot easier. SPAM being unwanted solicitations from people you don't know.
two things you should probably know: 1) Fuel type is irrelevant regarding EMP 2) Cars are immune from EMP. Yes, yes I know. decades of bad apocalyptic movies and thos idiotic doomsayers go on and on on how EMP's would stop cars. At worse it would make a couple of fault light come on erroneously.
"These people still do not understand the basics of networked systems. " yes they do, and probably better then you do.
" First, determining who's attacking. " often easier then you think. You act as if there isn't 100's of people smarter on you working on this every day. Don't make that mistake. I have seen virus traced to a single group with some pretty inventive ways. Plus, people talk more then you would think.
"Second, attacks that are meant to go after one thing can inadvertently hit something else (collateral damage). " yes, and that is frowned upon. For example,. if a bomber accidentally took out a damn that flooded thousands of people. That's frowned upon on the global stage. and yes, there are ramifications for this, sometimes they last decades.
" could be in another country and yet still be hit by the attack, " and the attacker shouldn't be responsible? Of course it would require the collateral damage to have the same vulnerabilities as that intended target. A lot of these attacks are very specific to targets.
"They don't have to go by your rules, " HAHAHAHahaha. oh you. The poeple that hire them would be responsible, and the country would demand their arrest.
You post underlines how little you know of current SotA technology, the political playing field, and the current global stage.
you caa't even grasp what its about, much less the details. Go back to Norris jokes and eating cheesy poofs
No it isn't. What it is doing is pointing out facts people don't like. So those people call it dogmatic and religious. In fact, science changes when new facts appear. Of course, they need to be provable facts or backed up data. Not just a bunch of ignorant savages that don't like what the science says.
Maybe you should learn the the impacts of a president can last longer then his presidency?
Get over it is code for "Please stopping pointing out what en inept president Bush was and how he destroyed our economy, and lied to get us into a war the cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives"
Our current economic problem are a direct result of that mans actions and the republican party.
You need a dictionary. Wikipedia: "Innovation is the development of new values through solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulate needs, or old customer and market needs in value adding new ways. This is accomplished through more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments, and society. Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself. Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation refers to the notion of doing something different rather than doing the same thing better."

And it repeats. We see it again in the Carter/Reagan election regarding Iran hostages.
And Bush v Kerry debates.
And Obama / McCain.
Interestingly, Cheney was involved in all those campaigns.

Wrong..again.
They cost more.
They have lower Cost-effectiveness for oil reduction
Worse in tailpipe pollution
http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_vehicles/smart-transportation-solutions/cleaner_fuels/cleaner-diesel/the-diesel-dilemma-diesels.html
Tailpipe emissions:
Gasoline emissions: 8887 grams CO2 per gallon
Diesel Emissions: 10180 grams per gallon.
The Eco Cruze gets 42 MPG
8887/42 = ~211 grams of CO2 per mile.
The Cruze Diesel gets 42 MPG.
10180/42= ~242 grams of CO2 per mile.
I choose the cruse becasue there are very close in shape.
And this doesn't even get into to particulate matter and carcinogens emitted by diesel.

Innovation is simply changing existing technology or adding value to existing technology.
Google Glass is an invention. Yes, it's also innovative. An invention is always innovative, but innovation doesn't always mean invention.
