In Bush’s case, it does mean stupidity. He has a seriously impaired brain in his cranium, and a secondary one, the one that drives his decision-making, in his scrotum.

That would be the only definition for anything I can apply to the Bush Administration. I think they are planning to fall back on the old standby "Get them before they get us!" That is what I get if I listen to the echo chamber that is Fox News. I didn’t know cojones meant stupidity. That would be the only definition for anything I can apply to the Bush Administration.

Amazing how oblivious we are to other people's nationalism. Actually, what's really amazing is how oblivious this administration is to pretty much everything we generally categorize as reality. Kind of like the kid who jumps out of a third-story window with a Superman cape on because he believes he can fly. hedera,

Given that Iran has been calling the U.S. "The Great Satan" since 1979, burning our flag and chanting, "Death to America" at rallies, do you think the neocons will have the <i>cojones</i> to try to sell "The Iranians will love us as liberators" to John Q. Public?? I know ad people are totally without scruple, but...

I heard something on NPR the other day about one of the insurgents saying how happy the people when the US moved in. He said it was actually hard to get recruits. He then went on to say how the US antagonized the people into the insurgency. What's up with that? Didn't the Germans do the same thing in WWII when they moved into Russia? Hedra, help me out here. Isn't that what happened? Max Bob,

It's pretty easy to do those things - they supply all the tools, you just supply the cynical world-view. Cooper, I don’t know that it’s talent.
