Encore Booknotes: A World Transformed
Authors: George H. W. Bush; Brent Scowcroft

A World Transformed is a 1998 book by former President George H. W. Bush and Brent Scowcroft, Bush's National Security Adviser, documenting foreign relations during the Bush administration.
...why they didn't go on to Baghdad in 1991: "Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land."


We take a drink every time Poppy says something that jr has done the opposite of!

:rofl:

I've already done my drinking for the day by noon. :shrug:

:evilgrin:

What would I do without the book thread to guide me on the right path?

Say, I just found out my first edition of "Silent Spring" is worth around $500.00! That's a lot of Night Train, baby!

:bounce:

Nite Train, yum! :rofl:

Richard's Wild Irish Rose!

Actors are booze-pigs. In olden times I used to bring that to cast/theater parties because I was tired of bringing Jack Daniels and having it dissapear inside of a half an hour.

I had no problem keeping Richard's down, and everyone left their mitts off of it.

Wake up sleepyhead, we got business to tend to. :rofl:

:hi:

Sunday: 2:00 PM 1 hr, 2 min Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics

Haven't read Joe's book yet. Being a Biden supporter this should be interesting.

Happy to K&R this morning.

Thanks Viva! :hi:

about Hugo Chavez and the way American media tries to control the perceptions of him.

It needs only one more vote to make it to the greatest (where we can see some fireworks! ;-) ) Please consider checking it out.

Only two more hours from my posting here to recommend her post.

Thanks for your consideration, folks.

Thank you.

:hug:

Well argued and well written.

into "terrorists". Chavez might as well be Muslim. :shrug:

and miss Gannon? :snark:

thanks!

All I got was CSPAN1 and what a Right Wing buffet that was! Junior, Rove, omigod! I may need therapy after having to endure that.
