#1 'The escalating pressure of our military campaign is sharpening,' Clinton said in a speech in New York.

And precisely what the phuech is that supposed to mean?

#2 And precisely what the phuech is that supposed to mean?

That maybe the fact that the race card trumped the gender card in 2008 is not the worst that could've happened.

#3 I will say for Hillary that she has managed to sustain her high negative rating better than anyone since John Wilkes Booth.

#4 Taliban 'cannot wait us out, they cannot defeat us, and they cannot escape(the consequences) of this choice'.....has a nice ring to it.

How would YOU like to be a member of the Taliban or al-Qaeda right now? The Arab world with you on this, the hour of your need? How IS Zawahiri and Osama DOING at the present moment? And are any of Zarquawi's friends EVER coming back?

Looking at Afghanistan and Iraq right now,911 was worth it, right? Islam is in great shape and Peace and Prosperity and a donkey's dick in every pot? It couldn't BE better. Its a great time to be proud of being an Arab again , I can tell 'ya. I'd like to just rub Islam all over my body. What comes next?

How many shaheeds are deliquescing out there in the sands?
And Palestine Shall be Ours? That capturing the whole worlds focused attention, is it?

And you are "proud" to be an Arab again? Or a Libyan or an Egyptian? Whatever. What? you WEREn't proud before? Before what?

And things are going to "change". You can trust the Military Junta in Egypt? They are going to safeguard your peaceful "transition" to representative Democracy? Yeah?

You have "hope" and you are painting the curbs in Tahrir Square and picking up the trash. And the cockroaches in the pay toilets of Cairo are waving little flags, right?

Ah yes, "Hope and Change", where would we be without that?
Hillary Clinton, we need a lot more of that, I can tell'ya.

What else 'ya got? You ever had your butt swabbed with a camelshair brush soaked in Lysol and handed a little white towel?

#7 I thought the title said, "Sexy Clinton calls on Taliban".

My brain threw up a bit at that.

#8 Thanks Hillary for the tip. Actually, we had an epiphany about this and we thought we'd begin tomorrow or the next day. Well actually it might take a little longer to get the message to the various Stone Age tribes out there. Well on second thought, forget all that, actually we hate the U.S.

#13 Islam is in great shape and Peace and Prosperity and a donkey's dick in every pot?

Islamic countries are in better shape since 9/11. The US has managed to pump in $1 trillion into their economies, foreign aid is way up, and their only export, oil, has tripled in price. The Islamic countries are getting more Islamic with takeovers and revolution breaking out, Sharia written into Afghan and Iraqi constitutions w/ US consent, and Islamic Settlement of infidel lands is at an all time high.

Compare that with the economic and political decline in the West, especially the US, since 9/11.
