#1 There's a very old saying in kentucky: don't piss down my back and tell me it's ....wait, that's not it. Oh, I got it, you either kick @ss or kis @ss, yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Anyway, cudos to the boys.

#2 Yes, but this will not be considered until Amnesty International and the IIRC proclaim it as so.

Are these captives getting turndown service and a fluffy sleep-over pal?

#5 Thanks for your opinions, TE3695. Now that we know what you don't like, can you give us any suggestions? What is your plan for the management of Iraq Iran and NorKland?

You only need to hit 'submit' once...

#6 Thineger Ebbeth3695, if that's your real name, you are an @ssmonkey. TE3695's remarks are so inane S/He/IT felt the need to post them 7 times.

I love the logic -- we attacked a country that was trying to get nuclear weapons, so we're bad, but we haven't attacked two countries that either have or are trying to acquire nuclear weapons and we're . . . listen for it . . . bad! If attacking countries that give us the finger and have nuclear weapons were the correct criteria, we'd be attacking France. Come to think of it, maybe Ol' Piss and Thinegar is onto something . . . .

#7 Considering the number of times T-E hit "submit," he must be ready for dhimmitude.

#9 Had our troll only posted his rant once, we'd have perhaps taken the time to argue with him, but seven times earns you a trip to the sink trap. For those who're interested, he said

Another PR offensive. Next will be Operation: Pinprick or Operation: Mousefart. Come on, do you really think the U.S. and its puppet "Iraqi" "government" forces are winning?

Are you some sort of military expert, to tell us they're not? We've already won, Beauzeau. We won when Baghdad fell. They can bitch and moan or they can help rebuild their country, but we won. The hard boyz, domestic and imported, aren't going to make us leave. There's too much at stake strategically.

Two days ago the Army admitted it will be at least two years before the puppet forces are trained enough to start replacing the Americowards.

Using that particular term tells me you're a dipshit. I also strongly suspect that your own supply of physical bravery is severely limited and that you feel you're entirely too valuable to something or other to demean yourself by doing anything as plebian as putting on a uniform and submitting to discipline. Asshole.

Ever notice how the puppet "Iraqi" soldiers always wear ski masks? What's that tell you?

Ever notice that the hard boyz are willing to knock off little old ladies and little kids because their men are policemen or soldiers? And how often do you see a terr without a mask?

Ever notice how Iraq is so "secure" that Kindasleeza Rice and Rumsfeld and the rest of the apparatchik whores have to fly in before dawn in "surprise" visits to Iraq and if their plans become disclosed beforehand they're cancelled?

"Kindalseeza." That gives us another look into the sophomoric depths of your intellect.

Ever notice how when they do fly in they can't venture outside of the Green Zone or another U.S. military base?

Two points: the country's not secured, there are lots of bad guys with lots of weapons, who'd turn themselves inside out to kill them. Even though you'd like to see them dead, the military doesn't. And the second point is that's where their business is.

Ever notice how, even though one can't drive in America for a mile without seeing a hundred cars with "support our troops" and "these colors don't run" and other garbage festooned on them, but when the chips are down so to speak, the Army isn't getting nearly enough recruits even with bribery? How do you explain this discrepancy?

Strangely enough, Beauzeau, the combat arms are getting enough volunteers. It's the support elements that aren't. I think there's an article on that on Rantburg today. And I guess the bumper stickers are doing their job if they piss off dolts and blockheads like you.

Could it be that the American people are all in favor of bashing a small country when it appears it can't defend itself but once it turns into something like a real war, then America loses stomach for it?

It could be that there are a certain number of people in the country who're much like you, but I think most people support the military and they support what Bush and Co. are trying to do, not wanting to do it, but realizing that it needs done.

All the while, North Korea and Iran are giving Bush and America the middle finger every day and saying "what are you going to do about it?".

They're feeling pretty safe and secure in the knowledge that the military's busy in Iraq and that we're not going to do anything right now.

And what does America do? NOTHING. Where's the swaggering bravado and belligerent rhetoric when it appears North Korea has NUCLEAR weapons and Iran is actively pursuing the idea??

While we're busy militarily in Iraq, we're also doing lots of stuff diplomatically and politically. That's probably a bit too complicated for you to follow, what with your short attention span and all. At the same time we're putting increasing pressure on Syria, which is Iran's lapdog. Not being the bloodthirsty war mongers a simpleton like you expects us to be, we try to use all the tools available to accomplish our goals without killing a lot of people. Chances are North Korea will collapse before we get around to them. Chances are Iran will do a slow move away from being a terror haven ruled by man turbans. Chances are Qaddhafi will see the error of his ways and... Oh. Wait. He's already done that.

What a pussy nation, that will be so quick to bludgeon a country it THINKS won't fight back, but shrinks from a REAL threat like from Iran or North Korea, whining about diplomacy and sanctions!! Don't that just make you burst with pride at being an American?

Sure does. It means we're not idiots, that we do have more than one tool in the box. If all the options are used up, then we might have to fight it out, but not before then.

You can proudly say your country is the WORLD'S BIGGEST SUPERPUSSY!!!

You don't regard yourself as part of the country, Beauzeau? I see you're posting from Potomac, Maryland, by your IP address. Is your IP address cloaked or are you sitting in a house that cost Mom and Dad two or three million bucks, sneering at us redneck lowlifes? Or are you the offspring of one of the South Asian immigrants who've made good and live in Potomac? Weren't Mom and Pop stoopid to come here to Pussyland and make all that money, when you could be back in Lahore having fun?

Don't post here again. Nobody likes you.

sounds like what Mom and "Dad" say, huh? The only reason they gave you a computer is that your public chronic masturbation proved too unseemly, even for your bloodline. Back in the box, Gimp

#11 Whoever the troll is, they appear to be American - American spelling and cultural references. Posing as a foreigner, presumably because they're scared the 'burg might come to them...

#12 Ever notice how brave the little miscreants are sitting in front of a keyboard. Won't find them on the battle field.

But then again, sounded a bit like one of the Newsweek Editors...
