one doesn't just up and quit a lifelong habit like drinking or blow.

It's not like he's ever acheived anything meaningful or character building in his life that he can reference in tight times like these - failed oil exec, he was relieved of his minority stake ownership of the Rangers - that [/b]

Trust me....there are loads and loads of junkies, drunks and crackheads who get clean and stay clean.

...and to shame. Mind you Sadam Husseins interest in Global issues would put hee-haw to shame.

Yes, I was kidding.  Getting Osama was just the REASON to go in to Iraq at this time (the undercurrent reason, there were the whole WMD as well...)

  are you kidding? invading Iraq was on the table way before 9-11. Kissinger proposed invading Saudi Arabia in 73 during the first major gas crisis. The US is pretty serious about maintaining a steady supply of oil. No oil means no commerce and no defense.

The reflex Clinton argument is getting so old. How many years ago was Clinton in office, but yes, it is his fault Osama is STILL alive. [/b]

Isn't GW the one who went looking for Osama in Iraq, basically? [/b]

Oh, those must be the ones the IRA just decommissioned.   :roll:
 
 Here's Gerry Adams and P. O'Neill at the decommissioning ceremony.

ehtiopian, at any rate
 
 god bless Steve Earle and all, but does anyone on this board personally know someone who went cold turkey and quit for life? saying there are "plenty of people" doesnt really prove anything to me. My experience says otherwise.
 ANd it's beside the point anyhow. It's a fact that Bush has been a hard partier for most of his life. Drinking is a part of his culture. Add to that the likelihood that he and his kin are genetically predisposed to addiction - his daughters, Jeb's kids. Bush also tends to stick his chest out and front righteousness regardless of the facts. So when he says he quit cold turkey, I get skeptical.

Your personal experience includes 4 people you say you know who were heroin addicts.  I'd hardly call that a wealth of personal experience.  
 
 Believe me when I say that I know what I'm talking about here and not just talking out of my ass.  I've known many people who have died, done jail again and again etc. over drugs, but I also know many people and have many friends who have gotten clean from drugs and stayed clean for years, decades, whatever, and continue to stay clean.   Now obviously I can't say these people have "quit for life" until we put them in the ground due to natural or otherwise non-drug related causes (which I've also done a time or two).
 
 So to answer your question in one word, yes.
