Way off topic, but it has do to with rednecks
"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:EPTwj.50800$yE1.50603@attbi_s21... I'll say this about the Democratic campaigns -- it's been a lot more fun to watch than the Republicans. Heck, even French politics have been more fun than watching Huckabee and whatsisname trying to beat McCain. I'm not a Huckabee fan (which isn't to say I dislike him) but his appearance on SNL Saturday Night had me laughing out loud: PERFECT comedic timing: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xvSXpM5qGmg -c |

I guess Jay's idea of success is killing 10's of thousands of innocent
people including thousands of our troops, increasing the national debt by over a trillion dollars, making the US look like a bully to the rest of the world, and running our economy and military into the ground as an inheritance for our children. And all of this in the name of removing a cruel secular dictator who hated Bin Laden and replacing him with an Islamic government that will ally itself with Iran. Wow, what a success! -- Best Regards, Mike http://photoshow.comcast.net/mikenoel "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:EPTwj.50800$yE1.50603@attbi_s21... Meanwhile the Bush Administration raised its threat level from Bomb-Into-Democracy to Nukem-and-let-God-sortem-out...and that's just the Democrat Party. Furriners are ignored as useless, unless they wear a turban, in which case the threat level is borrowed from the English and French: 100-year-war. It must be awful for you to watch Iraq succeeding, no? Sorta like a slow-motion train...construction project... :-) Seriously, if something bad doesn't happen in Iraq (or somewhere), and soon, Hillary doesn't stand a chance against Obama. With her perceived superiority in foreign policy issues as the main defining difference between them, (well, other than age, gender, experience, attitude, etc. -- but those don't seem to matter), the lack of any foreign crises is truly hurting her campaign.

slow-motion train...construction project... Jay, Just curious... What is your definition of "Iraq succeeding"? I must admit, I've been watching... and I haven't been seeing anything I would define as "success" -- Certainly not when the total costs of war (in $$$ and lives and the global perception of our country) are factored in... -Cosmo |

Increasingly hard to argue against those points except on one: Hussein was a bully, and with regard to Afghanistan, most Americans don't view themselves as "bullying" Al Qaeda anymore than they viewed themselves as fighting WWII "bullying" after Pearl Harbor. They attacked us. I will never regret my tax dollars being spent fighting AQ and the Taliban anywhere in the world. I do, however, hold the war policy makers accountable for NOT FINISHING THE FREAKIN' JOB before starting another one. That's all. -c |
