It doesn’t surprise me at all that cartoon boy watches some moonbat “news” channel that dwells on the life of the latest nutjob.

Not that PMSNBC and The Clinton News Network are much outside of the fever swamps but doesn’t Mikey know that they run the same tape of the same Iraq bombing, over and over and over again, all day long, even if it’s a week or two old?

What more do you want?

So take off all your clothes, flip the channel and get down with your gleeful anti American self.

Sit there in front of your TV, all wooded up, and wish for more dead US soldiers so that you can get joyously excited.

Have fun.

ml, it would’ve been more accurate to have a story about a school or water treatment plant opening in some province of Iraq and having the reporter say no we’re going to headline a story about civilians being killed by American soldiers. Don’t you think? Oh yeah, the “media” stopped reporting such things when Iraqi infrastructure was 40 percent of pre-liberation levels and they want to leave the publics’ opinion there.

Dick “No Doubt” Cheney is the Al-qaida appeaser extraordinaire since 2001! He and Dubya walked right into Al-qaida’s trap by getting our troops stuck in a civil war in Iraq… OBL often stated that his goal was to engage American troops in a quagmire and take America down, just like he brought down the USSR in Afghanistan.

More propaganda from Mr. 5-Deferment-Coward:

“I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the al-Qaida strategy,” the vice president told ABC News.

There is little question that many patriotic Americans have raised that black flag, sensing that most networks and even their neighborhood dailies have become outposts of the doctrine police, shading their reporting of the war to reflect ideology or partisan agendas.

Or, in the case of the Atlanta Urinal and many others, even going full blown pro Al Qaeda, hoping for dead Americans, any dead Americans that they can drag through the streets and shake at the “enemy” Bush.

There is far too much information out there to know and the “media” largely chooses to share the informational topics that will lead the masses to the same conclusions as that of the “media” editors and producers. When the Iraqis were lining up day in and day out to join the Army or Police and the terrorists were bombing the lines, how many stories did we see about Iraqis eager to defend their newfound freedoms? I didn’t see any. However, I saw dozens upon dozens of stories stating the recruits were there because they couldn’t find work in a country that was destroyed by US forces. Is that bias or objectivity? Why did the daily updates on Iraqi infrastructure stop? At both Marine recruiting centers I was at in 2002 I spoke with at least a dozen college graduates who were leaving good jobs to join the Corps. But, on the drive there all NPR and other media outlets reported on were poor poor people who felt their only chance in life was to join the military. This was obviously because Bush destroyed the our massive economy in the first 2 days of his administration. Certainly no previous policies had anything to do with it because everybody knows the US economy can turn on a dime.

The more the dumb masses change this nation from a republic to a democracy the more power the media has, period. The Executive Branch receives foreign intelligence the masses do not see, but the ignorant masses can now affect our nation’s defense, it is a course for self destruction.

Of course people on the left will continue the grand illusion that the “media” is not biased because the “media” is biased in favor of their political philosophy of; government is great, government is good, let them thank the government for their food.

If all you are seeing is Britney and Anna you must be watching the daytime Fox soaps.

From 4:00 in the afternoon until 10:00 at night there’s Cavuto, John Gibson, Brit Hume, Shep Smith, O’Reilly and Hannity and Colmes. Many of those shows re-run later for night owls.

Corky Cobb, these conservative war supporters you speak of are Dick Cheney wannabes. As long as they don’t have to go, there children don’t have to go, war is just hunky dory to them. Where do think the term “chicken hawk” came from. These keyboard badazzes single handedly make the case for a return to the draft. You can bet your sweet patooty that if that were the case the ranks of these bar stool commandos would shrink to an all time low. But I agree with you. They support this war so strongly that they should do their patriotic duty and enlist. If they are too old and have kids, they should send them to the recruiting station immediately. That way they can come in here and represent themselves as someone who walks the walk instead of just talking the talk. But we know better, don’t we Corky Cobb?

Let’s all take a look back at what radical extremist Osama Bin Laden had to say about America’s media:

“In an October 2002 statement, marking the first anniversary of the Afghanistan invasion, bin Laden discussed the importance of “the media people and writers who have remarkable impact and a big role in directing the battle, and breaking the enemy’s morale, and heightening the Ummah’s morale.”

So, if Osama is counting on the liberal media, and their defeatist attitude to win his war, why would you choose to help him?

“Down with America”. Is it a view and the liberals share with the extremists?

There is an excellent article in Stratfor, “Jihadist Perspectives on a U.S. Withdrawal”.

They anticipated early withdrawal from the battlefield even before they attacked on 9/11.

Again, from Stratfor:

“Bin Laden’s opinion of U.S. resolve was not shaken by the “shock and awe” campaign that was unleashed in Afghanistan and, later, Iraq.”

Of course it wasn’t. He looked at the history of the liberals forced withdrawal from Vietnam.

“In a February 2003 message, he said, “We can conclude that America is a superpower, with enormous military strength and vast economic power, but that all this is built on foundations of straw.”

Let’s see now. Would that be the same strawmen the liberals like to build. They certainly don’t believe in building on a firm foundation. One that will collapse is more to their liking.

“So it is possible to target those foundations and focus on their weakest points which, even if you strike only one-tenth of them, then the whole edifice will totter and sway, and relinquish its unjust leadership of the world.”

You didn’t finish the sentence, it was the SOLDIERS assigned to the UN who did that, not the UN itself. Those SOLDIERS were disciplined, dismissed, and detained as any SOLDIER who violates the rules. Just like the Iraqi soldiers need to pay for what they did.

The terrorists are counting on our retreating prior to the Iraqi’s being capable of defending themselves, so keep up the defeatism and critical hind-sight jockeying. Keep pretending that the Iraqis who have put their lives on the line to defend their new representative government don’t deserve our support any longer. Keep pretending terrorists come from a specific location rather than the larger Middle-East. The terrorists would like to be able to pick the battlefields and they are counting on the lefts “Whack-A-Mole” strategy to give them that benefit. The terrorists would like to know our plans and strategies and they would appreciate you leftist continuing the efforts to have those publicly disclosed. Before one of the talking points come; the PLAN was to remove a lying deceitful and duplicitous dictator, then install a government representative of the Iraqi people to fill the vacuum that would result. Any further PLANNING by the civilian leadership is micro-managing and we know how well that worked out in Vietnam.

“The Case-Church Amendment was a piece of legislation that sought to rein in President Richard Nixon’s conduct of the Vietnam War. Named for its principal co-sponsors, Senators Clifford P. Case and Frank Church, it was passed by the United States Congress on June 19, 1973. The Amendment prohibited any further U.S. military involvement in Southeast Asia without Congressional authorization, effective August 15, 1973. The veto-proof vote was 278-124 in the House, and 64-26 in the Senate.” (Wikipedia)

Case, by the way, was a Republican. Case-Church was bipartisan, as can be seen by the huge vote majorities.

There are two types of people who are now saying “liberals” forced us out of Vietnam when it was and remains clear that the vast majority of the American public had turned against that war — those who lie for partisan purposes (Coulter, Gingrich, Malkin, et. al.) and those who are simply too lazy or too stupid to learn the truth (like most of the right-wingers here and on Wooten’s site.)

I can’t help you with what you are insistent on believing, but in my opinion, Osama Bin Laden has been incapacitated along with Al Qaeda.

Again, from Stratfor and I hope it doesn’t exceed the word limit. If it does, I’ll continue:

“Perhaps the most telling aspect of the Feb. 13 message is that al-Zawahiri refers to Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar as the leader of the global jihadist movement.”

“It would appear that, given the Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan, al Qaeda is willing to accept Mullah Omar as its supreme leader. This could be an indication that al Qaeda’s apex leadership has weakened to the point where it is heavily dependent on the Pashtun jihadists. Osama bin Laden is likely incapacitated and unable to lead the jihadist struggle effectively; and al-Zawahiri on his own might not be in a position to lead the movement, especially since many of al Qaeda’s top leaders have been killed or captured. Furthermore, al-Zawahiri’s pledge of allegiance to Mullah Omar indicates that the jihadists anticipate greater success in Afghanistan than in Iraq.”

So would that ^^^ indicate that they’re not doing too well in Iraq, but they are there?

Elsewhere in this most recent message, al-Zawahiri acknowledges a weakness on the part of jihadists when he says they “are in need of men, money, materiel, opinion, expertise and information.”

They’re plan was to launch their greatest offensive in the spring, but something has forced them to launch it early. I’m reading that Pakistan’s and Afghanistan’s aggression against them has forced their hand.

But since you’ve now determined that we have beaten them, then who is blowing stuff up in Iraq? You guys need to get your story straight: are we supposed to be scared of Al Qaeda or elated that we have beaten them behind the inspired leadership of our, erm, President.

You want desperately for Al Qaeda to be in one location, while history before the Iraq invasion, and since the Iraq invasion has clearly proven that they are global in scope. That’s glogal rushncap. You’re mind simply refuses to encompass anything so vast.

From Assyrian International News Agency:

“Al Qaeda continues to be operative in Iraq, killing both Sunnis and Shi’ites in the hopes of fueling the civil war. But since the killing of al-Zarqawi in Iraq on June 7, 2006, the dominant terrorist militia is Muqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army.”

What’s said is that you even seen this from so called “news” sources. IE: Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reily.

Liberals support the troops by telling them they are fighting for nothing and doing bad things. They tell veterans that nobody cares.

Anyone not agreeing with liberals is a Hitler,Neo-Nazi, oil hungry, Halliburton employee, coward, bedwetter, blind follower, empire builder, etc.etc.etc.

Liberals show more loyalty to Osama, Saddam than our own President. They do not even have the character to support their own country. They hide behind freedom of speech to support our enemies.

I do not want us to lose the war in Iraq. The victory conditions set forth however (a stable pro-western government) are not achivable by US forces. That can only be achived by the Iraqi people. I believe this is highly unlikely considering the animosity towards the west in general and the US in particular. So due to poor strategy at the highest level, we have become involved in a situation where victory is not going to come about through US military action, or even through US diplomatic action. It is a foolish thing to commit the military into a situation you cannot win.

Anyone in this country can hate the president and the vice president at their choosing. That’s what makes America so great. There is nothing written that says we have to stand behind them during a time of war, or any other time.

I do support my country. I support my country in by not wanting my children or other people’s children to have to clean up the mess that we have created. I don’t want them growing up in a world where every Muslim will hate us for the next 40 years because of what we have done in Iraq. I support my country by not trusting the president and government on blind faith. Instead I question and ask for the truth. That’s what makes this country so great. Is that something you’re willing to give up Dusty, The ability to question your government when you do not agree? Would you rather be made to support a president no matter what at all times?

RE,

Perhaps you are more familiar than I am about wars. But I never heard of a war in which the outcome was known.

But I have heard of wars where the country did not give support and goals were lost. There ‘s Viet Nam. We lost to communism and half trained troops.

WWII, many times the war seemed lost. Right after Pearl Harbor, we were short on everything. But the entire country was behind the troops and gave it everything possible. We won against imperialism over many difficulties.

Democrats turned against this war before it started. Although they supported the war in Congress (at that time), they still griped about losing a perfectly legal election and undermined all the President’s efforts. Liberals turned their war efforts to fighting President Bush. It is still obvious. It has seeped into the morale of the troops. It has been the banner of the news media and Hollywood. Whether you can ignore the obvious or not, DEMOCRATS ARE NOT SUPPORTING OUR WAR EFFORTS. If they are, they are not posting on this blog or showing it anywhere else.

Danish — “he but repeats th’ offense”.

@@, you really should really just stick to working with “special” students. Sorry to break it to you, but your cherished strategies don’t work on the rest of us. They just make you look foolish. Maybe that’s just an occupational hazard, so consider me telling you this a mitzvah.

What aggravates me isn’t that you’re too clever. You’re not. It’s not even that you’re trying to be too clever. What aggravates me is that you act like a petulant 12 year old any time you’re challenged on anything; and any time someone does not accept you as the great peacemaker and an all-wise yet humble guru. Like I said, maybe that’s just an occupational hazard that you need to be aware of.

Also, not buying your whole “open mind” BS. You don’t have an open mind. You want us to believe you have an open mind, which are 2 different issues. And as for Iraq, your mythically open mind got exposed a couple days ago when I proposed that dividing Iraq may be the best solution. I got immediately, and viciously, attacked, by you, among others. On the merits of my proposal? No, of course not. On the fact that it was me who was proposing it, therefore let’s ignore what rushncap says and talk about pornography instead.

You’re not clever, @@. Sorry. You are more clever than your students, yes. But in the real world we have different measuring sticks.

Dusty,

The out come of a war is never known, but before you send in amred forces, the victory condition and exit plan should be set forth and achivable by your armed forces.

A country’s support for a war does not have much to do with the eventual outcome. The germans did not stop supporting germany in ww2, neither did the japanese stop supporting japan.

We tend to lose wars when the victory conditions are not our own. In vietnam our victory condition was a stable pro western government. That was not something the US military could install. Korea ended in stalemate.

Wars that we win are the ones with identifyable objectives and victory conditions. in 1991 our objective was to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait.

We won

WW2 to remove german and japanese forces from occupied countries.

we won

Revolutionary war, remove the british from US soil

we won

Aside from the civil war, all the wars we won were through defeating a foriegn power occupiying a soverign country.

This has nothing to do with the amount of support there is for this war, it is based upon a flase premise for victory

It’s funny that you would choose the word “mitzvah” considering your views on religion.

There are two interpretations “a commandment”, as in one of the ten, which I saw as an act of God’s “kindness”.

For once Muffin is right — the popular support of a war in a country oftentimes determines the winner. In Vietnam it was patently obvious. America was in ‘Nam for no reason and with no good purpose. Therefore the American populace — with good reason — did not support that dead-end war. The Vietnamese, on the other hand, were fighting for their homes, for their country. They cared deeply. So they won. Same thing with Iraq: we are there for no good (or any, really) reason. Therefore Americans are tired of this useless war, and don’t want any more of our boys and girls dying. We are simply sick of it. Iraqis are fighting for their country, for their land, and for their religion. They will not tire out. They will win, not because they are better than us in any sense. They will win because they have something worth fighting for, and we don’t. Lies as motivation only last so long in this day and age, and they are wearing out rapidly.

I recieved a funny email and thought i would share it. If you feel that government is the cause of many problems you will like it. If you think government is the cure for all things you may not like it. Here it is:

Noah in 2007

In the year 2007, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in the United States, and said, “Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flesh before me.

Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans.”

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying, “You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights.”

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard - but no Ark.

“Noah!” He roared, “I’m about to start the rain! Where is the Ark?”

“Forgive me, Lord,” begged Noah, “but things have changed. I needed a building permit. I’ve been arguing with the inspector about the need for
a sprinkler system. My neighbors claim that I’ve violated the neighborhood zoning laws by building the Ark in my yard and exceeding the height limitations. We had to go to the Development Appeal Board for a decision.

Then the Department of Transportation demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of movi ng power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark’s move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us, but they would hear nothing of it.

Getting the wood was another problem. There’s a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the spotted owl. I tried to convince the environmentalists that I needed the wood to save the owls - but no go!

When I started gathering the animals, an animal rights group sued me.

They insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodation was too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space.

Then the EPA ruled that I couldn’t build the Ark until they’d conducted an environmental impact study on your proposed flood.

I’m still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many minorities I’m supposed to hire for my building crew.

Regarding your flowery but historically inaccurate speech at 6:19 -

The North Vietnamese were fighting for their land and their homes? In South Vietnam?

And who are the “Iraqis”? I thought that they didn’t exist and were merely three warring tribes who you wanted to be in tres partes divisa.

How did the Americans win WWII? Were they fighting for “their land and homes”, or were they fighting ideologies like Nazism?

We had victories over the ideologies of Nazism, Communism, and Fascism, yet you’re surrendering to Islamofascism?

Yes, there are still rag tag Commies (like you) running around, but all in all the ideology was defeated.

CUT

{{{Also, when someone asks Durian to act like a human being, i.e., display some sort of manners, she (in her words) “vilefully and niggardly” goes on the attack?}}}

You’re lecturing me on “manners”????? Ha Ha Ha. You really are delusional. Maybe in an aviary it’s perfectly proper to talk about smelling kotex?

Moving right along, in the future, please do not put quotation marks around words and then falsely attribute them to me. Unless you want to get a reputation as a liar.

I never said “vilefully and niggardly”. I said “vile”. There is no such word as “vilefully” outside of the aviary and possibly Huge Stunty’s dictionary.

Moreover, you first used the word “niggardly” today, albeit incorrectly, and then came up with a new word! “Niggardness”!
