NEWS: Bush Lets Terrorist Run Free

News coverage was pretty good when it was still reported by the members and edited by a few staff people.
Sure it was snarky sometimes but at least you actually got some news that was fun to read instead of just endless bitter rants cluttering up the newswire all over.

It was worth reading and it was worth checking back for several times a day, these days I'm surprised if there's even anything worthwhile in the newswire to begin with.

Lucky for us they are all retired now.

I feel like too many people are stuck in hind sight mode, I also feel our various government representatives are beginning to pander to well meaning but ignorant hippies. They don't seem to comprehend that we are not dealing with the Vietnamese here. These fundamentalists will not just go quietly off to rebuild if America pulls it's soldiers out. Maybe I am wrong but it just doesn't seem logical to assume they will not retaliate.

Gen. John Abizaid is asking for 6 months and says it is possible to stabilize the area and strongly urges against a withdraw, McCain wants to put more troops in which funny enough was suggested before the war started by a general whose name escapes me now.

I would love to hear a viable diplomatic solution to this conflict but I just don't see one and haven't yet. Maybe we could pull our forces out, I'll be the first to admit I don't have all the facts. However with that said I have also yet to hear a scenario on what will happen if we do withdraw that didn't sound like some sort of utopian care bares special.

Damn

Ahh perhaps I missed the hints of sarcasm? Well yes it is difficult to convey emotion across the keys sometimes.

Also that would be correct as one could argue that this is merely an extension of the same crusades that started merrily during those aforementioned days of yore. One thing I have personally observed about the nature of our existence is that we as a race tend to repeat the same things over and over again throughout the ages. Sure there are differences but at the core lies the same basic reasoning no matter what the time period it occurs in.

Their headline upon the election of our dear leader in 2000, 'Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity is Finally Over' That was the most correct thing said by any news rag at the time. Sometimes only the jester can speak the truth.

He's back. He moved to the U.K, converted to Judaism and can only manage to post articles about maybe one or two things. If you find one that ISN'T saying "Muslims = Bad" you'll find it's an almost impenatrably bad screed about something involving U.S. politics that he hardly has a grasp of. Once in a while if he doesn't manage to catch the "Muslims = Bad" angle from a clueless standpoint, Sean posts it for him.

George Bush hates America

This is true Reaper.your stories have become wacky conspiracy theories.

Hilarious. Feel free to name one story that is a wacky conspiracy theory. The above mentioned story works from the following logic: The boss is responsible for what occurs under his reign. It is not a conspiracy theory when it is reported in a reputable paper.

You people bring me much joy.

I seem to be consistently quoted out of context? Maybe we should be paying for these children to attend parochial school after all?

The problem with this is that a majority of the generals in this country are idiots. You would be lucky to find 1 general in 10 that's worth a damn. The problem is that the people who should be making the decisions usually never make it above Lt. Colonel or maybe if they are lucky Brigadier General. These men and women don't make it that far because they refuse to play the political game that's necessary to rise to the rank of General. This is not a well known fact and it has become more prominent over the years. Some of our most celebrated Generals are complete idiots. For example General Schwarzkopf: He is credited with the decisive air war and ground war in the first Gulf War. His original plan was to run the troops straight through Kuwait on to Baghdad. This was the plan until an outspoken retired Lt. Col. Who was brought in as a civilian advisor said "Hey diddle diddle right up the middle". He had to explain to Schwarzkopf that yes are forces are far superior but why kill thousands of them by not learning from the mistakes of the past. He developed the flanking move that finished off Iraq in 100hrs. The Iraqi's were so focused on the frontal attack they never saw it coming. A lot of people are not aware of this but Schwarzkopf was relieved of his command in Vietnam for being incompetent and getting troops killed using the same strategy that he wanted to use in Iraq. Alas all I am trying to say here is that a big problem with our country as a whole and certainly with our government and military is that people only want to do the right thing if it's the right thing to benefit them. ...And there are good people out there trying to-do the right things because it is the right thing to do. But they never seem to get to the position that makes a difference on a large scale.

I before E, EXCEPT after C. Get it together editor guy.

Oooh, set theme?
