A century is a unit of 100. Years, in this case*. The beginning and end points can be defined as other than the years ending in '01' and '00'. In the case given I thought that the readers would be acute enough to count backwards from 2008. My bad. I'll activate the baby-talk from now on.

* A "centurion" was a Roman officer in charge of 100 soldiers, for example.

What year did Bush take office?

The whole world is wrong, and Asperger's boy is right.

You know that's true.

That would seem to be the operative question...

Donald J. Rube is so intellectually insecure, that he can't even admit when he fucked up about which century George W. Bush became President in....

I still refuse to join Twitter, but I love this guy's tweets.

- A fellow who lacks expertise,
  Lies often, and hates refugees
  Has won new supporters
  In various quarters
  By dropping big bombs overseas.

Here is another viewpoint--compare and contrast Assad and Trump on legality of the attacks.

That's a good one. Who would know more about "our horrendous leadership" than a loose cannon?

I guess Lord Dampnut's response will come down to how POTU2 sums up the events in North Korea over the last few days.

And the latest news is that Trump's lost armada is found. The CinC announced to the world that he was sending an aircraft carrier task force to North Korea. Actually, it was going to Australia. Easy mistake to make. There are no Trump hotels or golf courses in North Korea, so how should he know where it was?

Who Among Us Has Not Misplaced an Aircraft Carrier?

A single aircraft carrrier strike group is not much of a "armada" anyway. From this excellent article/opinion piece (worth reading the whole thing):

The US Navy battle group is assigned to the 3rd Fleet and it consists, officially, of just four major warships, the Aircraft Carrier Carl Vinson, the Aegis Destroyers USS Wayne E. Meyer and USS Michael Murphy, and the Ticonderoga class Cruiser USS Lake Champlain. We do not know, but it can be assumed with some degree of confidence that the group may also be operating in concert with one or more submarines, either regularly or temporarily as the situation dictates.

The author of the above piece points out that the carrier itself (and its aircraft) would not be of much use at all in the current situation or in any likely developing scenario. (Interesting speculation in the last paragraph, though, about what the pair of Aegis destroyers could do.)

"Armada" was the President's word of choice.

From the immediately preceding paragraph in the Esquire article:

We do not have the assets in that group to really do much, and in this case, conducting a strike against their homeland would be utter idiocy.

Are you aware of who is currently the Commander-in-Chief?

Aussies watch out! Trump thinks you're North Korea!

That phone call with Turnbull should have tipped them off!

"This (North Korean) gentleman" has been causing problems since the Clinton years. A child prodigy dictator, no doubt.

What a putz!

He says, " I don't want to telegraph what I'm thinking"...

So instead he telegraphs that he doesn't...
