Or better known as the luckobitc-h monument to himself, a stone block of ignorance wondering why America fights for freedom in faraway lands, on the very day that we honor the sacrifices made for the liberation of others.

Sacrifices given by those who recognized that there was a wrong in the world that needed to be made right.

Some people just don’t get it.

As a matter of fact, Memorial Day probably pis-ses these sniveling Coward POS liberals off, the very thought of us honoring men who died to free others has got to make the liberals burn with anger.

Good.

You can see it in the cartoon, this is not honoring the American Sacrifice, as a respectful person would, this is mocking it.

From within the safety of the shores of America, they mock the lives of those who protect them.

Cowards.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ®.

Look at what the Urinal says with a straight face:

{{{Syrian president gets second term- Syrians voted Sunday in a referendum to endorse President Bashar Assad —- the only candidate —- for a second seven-year term. But the country’s {{{{{tiny}}}}} opposition boycotted the voting, saying Syrians should have a choice in who governs them. And critics of Assad’s regime accused him of clamping down on pro-democracy activists.}}}

In a country where anti government activity will get you killed or thrown in jail, a country actively at war with the United States, the AJC legitimizes a dictator.

Hey AJC, GFY, you POS.

Is there a dictator that the candy as-sed liberals don’t love?

Think about it, if you won’t let your citizens vote in elections, if you suppress democracy with jail and death, if you violate the human rights of women, why is it that the Atlanta Journal Constitution will always have good things to say about you?

Cuba, China, Iran.

These are the countries that the liberals in Atlanta admire.

Doesn’t that seem kind of sick?

From the photo in the @issue section of the Urinal, anti IRAQ war protestors (with Cynthia McKinney in the front row) and the websites they have listed on their placards:

1) AnswerCoalition: April 9, 1948 is engraved in the collective memory of the Palestinian people it is the day the Zionist movement carried out the Massacre of Deir Yassin. In our commemoration of this monumental turning point, the FPA attempts to draw lessons for today as we place the struggle of our people in its historical context.

2) WWW.MASNET.ORG: The Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation joins with peace, human rights and pro-justice organizations throughout the international community in expressing, in the strongest terms, our condemnation of the kidnapping and violence directed by Israel against Palestinian leaders in the West Bank and Gaza.

3) www.unitedforpeace.org: The World Says No to Israeli Occupation.

It really is all about the J-E-W.

These people are stone cold crackpots, PROFESSIONAL protestors, why in the F would anybody listen to them?

The whole entire democrat party is in the service of these kooks, the Urinal, Jay Kookman, they are all a part of this Anti Jew cluster of moonbats.

Hi hi, ho ho, it’s off to the cemetery we go…..just for laughs. I hope you liberals get a lot of laughs today as our sons and daughters fight and die for you. Yeah, let’s make fun of dead soldiers with cute lil’ cartoons.

Luckovich, insulting not only the dead but the live Commander-in-Chief, shows us exactly the feelings of those who hate our president. Anything goes. Dead soldiers! OK!

Then we are supposed to believe that these same people, just like Luckovich, keep saying “We support the troops!” Now that is the real joke!

So here we are unable to stop our sacrifices to liberate others having become a stone block of ignorance wondering why America fights for freedom in faraway lands, on the very day that we honor the sacrifices made for the liberation of others. Sacrifices given by those who recognized that there was a wrong in the world that needed to be made right.

It is sad that Mike can’t set aside his hatred and vitriol for one day and actually pay tribute to dead soldiers instead of using them to advance his so called “notoriety”. This has all the class of Mark Arum using Easter as a day to slam Christianity on 750WSB a few years ago. That’s OK Mike, we soldiers throughout the history of this Country fought for your right to be tacky, thank you for using that right so “wisely” and honoring our fallen brothers and sisters in such a respectful manner.

For the record, I’m a liberal and I feel we should definitely put our war machine to work. Unfortunately, the administration we have picked the wrong country. Iraq? That was just a good ol’ boy vendetta and not worth the lives of thousands of American soldiers to try and liberate a country from the only dictator that could keep it from falling apart at the seams. We should be stomping out Kim Jong Il or the true financers of terrorism Syria and Iran.

Iraq had no global relevance to al Qaeda prior to US occupation.

The worst part about Republicans like yourself is the sheer dumb, blind dedication you give to a President that ‘s failed foreign policy is selective in it’s enemies but constant in it’s ignorance.

I haven’t even mentioned that the administration doesn’t have the brainpower to saddle up to Pakistan and track down Bin Laden as a true measure of warring on terrorism.

I feel genuinely sorry for those families who have lost loved ones in mideast conflicts. I too am the parent of an active duty officer in the Air Force and would grieve terribly if something happened to him.

I can understand our efforts in Afghanistan, if we had only followed through on our efforts to pursue bin Laden and not lost our focus by diverting out attention to Iraq. However, Bush and his cronies were so eager to engage Saddam that they engaged Iraq without any clear justification, and as feared by many mide-east experts, got hopelessly bogged down in the sectarian violence of Iraq.

I would suggest that our real anger concerning our lost children should not be directed at Mikey but at those whose unwise decisions have got us deeper into Iraq at every turn, George W. Bush and his band of troublemakers.

A well-done You Tube piece tells us to support our troops. It hits at the finality of war that our soldiers accept. For some there is no finality, they come home confined to wheelchairs and beds, with bags attached to hold the wastes they excrete. Others will never escape TBI or PTSD, to be abandoned by families and society. I hope these soldiers are treated better than my generation. The scandal at Walter Reed does not offer much hope.

I object to the underlying theme - they are “fighting for our freedom.” We do them a disservice to repeat the myth and give it credibility.

Soldiers wage the wars they are told to fight, and this one is for Dick and George, not about protecting America. The world is more dangerous because of this debacle. Iraq did not attack us, Sadaam despised Al Qaeda. Folks like my mother hear Rush and Sean say Iraq was part of 9/11. Dick repeats it in every speech he makes. Sean and Rush can interview “the Vice President live” so long as they publish his message.

I fear it was a war to salvage George’s reputation, but it has backfired, further tarnishing his economically, morally and socially bankrupt administration and reputation. He wanted to do the job his daddy “failed” to do. Daddy Bush did not overthrow Iraq because the sectarian violence produced would leave America to police a civil war he said would follow. Declassified reports from the various intelligence communities say just that, but Wolfy, Rummy, Dick and George ignored that.

Worst case is that it is a war Dick wanted, so Halliburton could, at great expense, rebuild Iraq. This would make Dick’s stock soar and he would get even richer off tax dollars funded by American workers. Here we are over four years later with no end in sight.

Halliburton rebuilt hospitals, schools and other public buildings. But liberal and conservative news sources alike report those structures do not function due to faulty wiring, plumbing and other errors. You and I paid for that trash, Dick got richer.

I admire our well-meaning soldiers and hope for their safety. I’m prepared to pay enormous sums to rehabilitate those coming home crippled - emotionally as well as physically. Our children will be paying for this debacle long after we are gone. Support our soldiers; bring them home so they CAN serve American interests.

This isn’t about defiling the deaths of our soldiers or hating the president. This is one man’s statement against a war that is pointlessly ADDING to the dead that will be so deservedly memorialized.

And what are they fighting for? Liberating a country where all the factions can’t even count themselves, much less sit down to build a democracy. Or is it a humanitarian effort to save the downtrodden of Iraq, by starting a war that has killed over 500,000 civilians there? Or is it a war on terrorism, in a place where al Qaeda never occupied?

I hope on this Memorial Day we all celebrate and remember what the Armed Forces and those serving, past and present have done for us. It’s sad that we’re so torn apart as a country we look past the relevance of that and look to attack each other and defend a failed administration.

Hterrya,

Like most die hard leftists you assume instead of reading. I’m not a Republican, in fact I find them rather boorish. I just feel it is in poor taste to use Memorial Day, a day to honor fallen soldiers, not the war or conflict they fell in, for their ultimate sacrifice. Were he to make fun of Muslims during their Holy Day or some other sacred leftist cow on their “holy day” you would be gnashing your teeth and foaming at the mouth.

Would I be incorrect in assuming that YOU personally have not felt a conviction to serve your country? It’s not a requirement of course, but why denigrate those who have paid the ultimate price? Why use their sacrifice for “notoriety”? I find it distasteful is all. There are 364 OTHER days of the year to knock our President (and yes, he is OUR President just as Bill Clinton was OUR President), why pick the one day set aside to honor fallen troops? Can you not give them respect for at least ONE damn day? Soldiers don’t pick where they serve, as such even Viet Nam or this current fiasco are neither their making nor their choice of duty station. They honor their commitment to our country so is it too much to ask to honor THEM? We aren’t honoring the President or the Iraq war today, we are honoring the SOLDIERS who gave their lives. Is this too much of a concept for you to wrap your hate filled tiny little mind around? Save the political posturing, from BOTH sides, til tomorrow.

I’m not sure I’d call this “asking for help:”

This sure looks like a demand to me.

I also support the president who has the toughest job in America. He doesn’t get everything right but nobody else has ever gotten it all right either.

Support and respect does not mean full agreement. There is no criminality in our President. (Your opinion does not make it legal.) Until that happens, I suggest you consider what is best for the country instead or all out party rage against the one who was elected to be our leader.

You might also consider Memorial Day as a day to stop knocking our troops who volunteered to protect and fight for this country. Feeling sad won’t cut it. Appreciation and support will.

Same old drivel from the wingnuts. Or, why I don’t stop by as much. Too much delusional, repitititive, ill informed monologues from the right wing zealots.

Mike’s ‘toon hits the nail on the head. Bush’s White House has delivered a consistent stream of misinformation (translation: lies) to justify the Iraq invasion 4 years ago. The rationale keeps changing (WMDs, terror bases, mobile chemical weapons labs, democracy, “fight them there so we won’t have to fight them here”, etc.). And the wingnuts here just lap it up, no questions asked.

If we’d let Saddam alone it was only a matter of time before the Saudis, or his own people took care of him. With no loss of American lives.

And remember, there were no major al-Qaeda training camps in Iraq until AFTER the US deposed Saddam. Osama and Hussein hated eachother. No way “fearless leader” would have let al Qaeda use Iraq for terror complexes. Saddam was far too egotistical to let some sociopathic Saudi exercise “eminent domain” in his country. Especially a “religious” Saudi who thought secular Iraqis (like Saddam) were as bad as Christian heretics.

Yeah, I’ve said this before. It’s for the newcomers who might get the idea after reading “Luckodull” that he speaks for the majority here, and the majority of true Americans. He most definitely does not.

Luckodull’s a drunk (or a junkie….can’t figure out which) whose entire life revolves around the lies fed him by BushCo and how he can spread them here. Over and over and over again.

This just has to be the icing on the fecal matter cake that is the US involvement in Iraq. US forces are actually training men who are eager join the jihad against the US!

“BAGHDAD — Staff Sgt. David Safstrom does not regret his previous tours in Iraq, not even a difficult second stint when two comrades were killed while trying to capture insurgents.”

“But now on his third deployment in Iraq, he is no longer a believer in the mission. The pivotal moment came, he says, this past February when soldiers killed a man setting a roadside bomb. When they searched the bomber’s body, they found identification showing him to be a sergeant in the Iraqi Army.”

The “Moonie” Times:

“But, deeming that the punishment of their enemies was sweeter than any of these things, and that they could fall in no nobler cause, they determined at the hazard of their lives to be honorably avenged, and to leave the rest. They resigned to hope their unknown chance of happiness; but in the face of death they resolved to rely upon themselves alone. And when the moment came, they were minded to resist and suffer, rather than to fly and save their lives; they ran away from the word dishonor, but on the battlefield their feet stood fast, and in an instant, at the height of their fortune, they passed away from the scene, not of their fear, but of their glory.”

You reckon the Treason Times has had any such thoughts of their own today?

Yeah, right.

{{{Finally, Memorial Day begins each day that Americans honor their soldiers and remember their heroes. Addressing veterans at Normandy’s Pointe du Hoc on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, President Ronald Reagan said, “You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One’s country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man. All of you loved liberty. All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your countries were behind you.”}}}

HTerryA,

You are correct, I never got past your hate filled diatribes and insults (what the left seems to call “debate”), to read anything else.

To quote you: “LuckoDull, Dusty, @@, Truthsayer, and Fred are still in their monotonous circle-jerk.” (A vile reference to homosexual group sex)

“hating Mike Luckovich, the AJC, liberals,” (An erroneous assumption on your part at least in my case, hate is a wasted emotion and one I don’t engage in though you seem quite familiar with it given your hate filled diatribes.)

“everyone that doesn’t get in lockstep with the NeoCons and their goofy frontman, the current corrupt president, and his cabal of criminals.” (name calling again starting with that over used neo con thing. I’m surprised you didn’t use nazi, it’s another favorite of the left for anyone who isn’t “lockstep” with them. You specified the “current” corrupt president, I suppose that was to distinguish from the previous corrupt president? Do you have anything original to say or do you merely spout the political slogans that your betters write out for you?

“Circle jerk-away you warmongering perverts!” (Again the vile sexual reference, not to mention the yet again, erroneous, “warmonger”, comment. Where in my post did you see any support of war? Going off half cocked and brainless were you? You accuse ME of sexual deviance and call ME a pervert? You are a very trouble and angry woman. I suggest you seek help, perhaps an anger management class or three.

Oh and let’s not forget your next post:

Fred, you puffed-up, arrogant little puke: You pontificate just like your current corrupt president. (Again going straight in with angry little accusations, mistruths, and insults. Your mother must be proud of you. Critical thinking and writing are NOT your strong suit are they?

Lost My Son to a War I Oppose. We Were Both Doing Our Duty. By Andrew J. Bacevich Sunday, May 27, 2007; Page B01 Parents who lose children, whether through accident or illness, inevitably wonder what they could have done to prevent their loss. When my son was killed in Iraq earlier this month at age 27, I found myself pondering my responsibility for his death. Among the hundreds of messages that my wife and I have received, two bore directly on this question. Both held me personally culpable, insisting that my public opposition to the war had provided aid and comfort to the enemy. Each said that my son’s death came as a direct result of my antiwar writings.

This may seem a vile accusation to lay against a grieving father. But in fact, it has become a staple of American political discourse, repeated endlessly by those keen to allow President Bush a free hand in waging his war. By encouraging “the terrorists,” opponents of the Iraq conflict increase the risk to U.S. troops. Although the First Amendment protects antiwar critics from being tried for treason, it provides no protection for the hardly less serious charge of failing to support the troops — today’s civic equivalent of dereliction of duty. What exactly is a father’s duty when his son is sent into harm’s way? Among the many ways to answer that question, mine was this one: As my son was doing his utmost to be a good soldier, I strove to be a good citizen. As a citizen, I have tried since Sept. 11, 2001, to promote a critical understanding of U.S. foreign policy. I know that even now, people of good will find much to admire in Bush’s response to that awful day. They applaud his doctrine of preventive war. They endorse his crusade to spread democracy across the Muslim world and to eliminate tyranny from the face of the Earth. They insist not only that his decision to invade Iraq in 2003 was correct but that the war there can still be won. Some — the members of the “the-surge-is-already-working” school of thought — even profess to see victory just over the horizon. I believe that such notions are dead wrong and doomed to fail. In books, articles and op-ed pieces, in talks to audiences large and small, I have said as much. “The long war is an unwinnable one,” I wrote in this section of The Washington Post in August 2005. “The United States needs to liquidate its presence in Iraq, placing the onus on Iraqi

{{{Jack Murtha’s Friends By Robert Novak WASHINGTON — Democrats controlling the House of Representatives demonstrated this month the hollowness of their claim that they have ended the corruption of 12 Republican years. Rep. John Murtha quietly slipped into the Intelligence authorization bill two earmarks costing taxpayers $5.5 million. The beneficiary was a contractor headquartered in Murtha’s hometown of Johnstown, Pa., whose executives have been generous political contributors to the powerful 17-term congressman. Jack Murtha, the maestro of imposing personal preferences on the appropriations process, looks increasingly like an embarrassment to Congress and the Democratic Party. But there is no Democratic will to curb Murtha, one of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s closest associates. Murtha’s earmark requests attest (as required by the new reforms) that “neither I nor my spouse had any financial interest” in either project. What he did not attest was that officers and employees of Concurrent Technologies contributed $56,475 to Murtha from the 2000 election cycle to the present. That includes $4,500 from CEO and President Daniel DeVos and $5,000 from Vice President Emil Sarady.}}}

Dusty, i see you are still spewing your trash without answering the question of You didnt support Clinton when he lied but you support Bush’s lies..

Here is how smart your leader is:

An impending report from the Senate intelligence committee is likely to revive questions about whether President Bush was so consumed with invading Iraq and overthrowing Saddam Hussein that he didn’t care about the disastrous consequences that could — and did — ensue.

Katherine Shrader reports for the Associated Press: “U.S. intelligence agencies warned senior members of the Bush administration in early 2003 that invading Iraq could create internal conflict that would give Iran and al-Qaida new opportunities to expand their influence, according to an upcoming Senate report.

“Officials familiar with the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation also say analysts warned against U.S. domination in the region, which could increase extremist recruiting. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the report’s declassification is not finished. It could be made public as soon as this week.

The committee also found that the warnings predicting what would happen after the U.S.-led invasion were circulated widely in government, including to the Defense Department and the Office of the Vice President. It wasn’t clear whether President Bush was briefed… .

“A former intelligence official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the decision to go to war had been made months before the 2003 papers were drafted and analysts had no delusions that they were going to head off military action. Rather, the official said, they hoped their warnings would be considered in the planning.”

So expect more stupiditiy as the Shia Superstate takes it’s first steps in diplomacy.

Because that’s what Bush has done, peoples: he has launched the Shia Superstate.

They’ll eventually get the bomb and blow Israel to smithereens, and then of course we’ll have to retaliate, and that will bring in China and that’s all she wrote. We have maybe five years, but it could happen tomorrow.

We can never leave Iraq. Bush has opened up Pandoras Box of global consequence and there is no putting that toothpaste back in the squeeze tube.

Bush has lost all of his support and is now considered the moron of evil by our entire congress.

The best thing that can happen now is that we occupy Iraq for generations at a cost of trillions. That’s if everything goes great! That’s best case scenario. That’s an open enede civil war for eternity with the US as enabler and caterer.

Republican Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said this morning on CBS’ Face the Nation that “unless something extraordinary happens,” most members of Congress believe that troop withdrawal should be on the table in September.

{{{{Speaking about a report in yesterday’s New York Times, that said the Defense Department is considering drawing down troops by up to 50% in 2008, Sessions said, “I certainly hope that’s what will occur. We cannot sustain this level, in my opinion, in Iraq and Afghanistan much longer.”}}}}

WASHINGTON - President Bush ordered new U.S. economic sanctions Tuesday to pressure Sudan’s government to halt the bloodshed in Darfur that the administration has condemned as genocide.

Well lookie here! The uber right has been a tellin us for years that Billy Bob Clinton was an appeaser cause he used sanctions to successfully hold the Islamomasses at bay.

Now that their false idol, Billy Bob Boy George, has wised-up and readopted the Clinton approach, we’ll be told some other bucket of bullshiite to justify the new branch of the International House of Waffles that has opened in the Oval Office!

The more Republicans try to distinguish themselves from Clinton, the more they are forced to swallow their own spit and emulate him. Now THAT’S entertainment! LMAO

My favorite quote from a Memorial Day Ceremony that I attended at Fort Rucker this weekend.

[“It is a Soldiers duty to follow his orders!.. To follow the orders of the Chain of command. To follow the orders of their leaders without question.

But it is the Leader’s duty to make sure those orders are with merit, justification, and are tactically sound when they are given. The lives of our troops are in the hands of their commanders. The sole responsibility of their success or failure, and the very survival of each and every soldier while following those orders given during combat, lands squarely on the shoulders of the commanders who gave those orders.

A commander who fails his men, also fails as a leader.”

L(S)D@8:58- Spammie: Bill Clinton never held the “Islamomasses” at bay, when was the last time you saw the World Trade Center?

WTC happened on 9/11/01, idiot, on Billy Bob Boy George’s watch, ya know.

Boy George and his daddy regurgitated the Republican party line for decades, eschewing diplomacy in favor of military build-ups and saber-rattling. Now that has FAILED so they have fallen back to the Clintonian approach of sanctions that they ridiculed for years (WAFFLE, WAFFLE, WAFFLE).

I often wonder if bin Laden would have given the go ahead for the WTC attack had America not incited the Islamomasses by electing someone who had spewed such vitriolic ‘cowboy’ rhetoric against their sovereignty. The election of Boy George may well have been the triggering mechanism for the WTC attack, the timing certainly indicates this possiblilty and it makes at least as much sense as Sadaam’s imaginary WMDs as a pretense for war with Iraq.

If Boy George had actually read the Bible that he uses so often for a political crutch he would have known that, “When you live by the sword, you die by the sword!”

Bush has allies in the world now- What an ultra-moron! Almost ALL of the fragile coalition that Boy George managed to cobble together after the fact have reduced or eliminated their participation in Iraq. Where is the German and French troop support from Bush’s new ‘friends’, idiot? Where is the Japanese and other contingents that were initially deployed?

For someone with loads of ‘friends’ it looks like America is pretty much goin it alone now in Iraq!

“The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing. His precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves him, killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think. I have tried every since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful. Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives. It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most.”

Interestingly enough, the lady having a yard sale that my wife and I were at this past Saturday was a Marine Corps veteran, her husband was a Marine Corps veteran and their 19 year old son recently came home from Iraq missing a leg, all of the fingers on one hand and with a shattered mind. They were in the process of selling everything they had including their house to get the cash needed to care for their son. From what she was saying he is very messed up mentally as well as physically. Two of his friends were killed in the IED incident that got him and he relives it constantly, according to the mother. These Marine corp vets, mother and father, are both vehemently opposed to this war. But I don’t think Dusty,RW, or others of their ilk would want to tell those two that they don’t support the troops left there to suffer the same fate as their son.

This post is for all those out there who believe that war is noble and that only “real” Americans embrace it:

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”

President Dwight D. Eisenhower

To all of you Bushies out there who glorify the killing of others, who believe our leaders are strong only when they impose their will on others, and who otherwise lack common decency or a soul, this quote demonstrates how far removed you are from both courage AND humanity. Obviously, Ike was not a pacifist or a liberal. He just recognized that war is, as he said, “stupid” and therefore it must be the last option, not the first.

Everyday there are reports of more and more of our brave men and women being killed and maimed for a war that began as a war of choice and remains a war of choice. Even still the reptilian Bushies cheer for more and more death. For what? To put off, for a brief period, an inevitable civil war in Iraq so that Bush can pass off to the next president, the withdrawal that the American people rightfully demand.

Here’s a good reason for tightening our borders:

Ramzi Yousef, born in Kuwait, began in 1991 to plan a bombing attack within the United States. Yousef entered the United States with a false Iraqi passport in 1992. Police found instructions on making a bomb in Yousef’s partner’s luggage. The name Abu Barra, an alias of Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, appeared in the manuals. Yousef’s partner was arrested on the spot for his false passport and his bombmaking instructions. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) holding cells were overcrowded, and Yousef, claiming political asylum, was given a hearing date.

Great excerpt from an article in the New Yorker:

[In the book, he - TOM DELAY - freely confesses to committing adultery…DeLay criticizes Gingrich for, among other things, conducting an affair with a Capitol Hill employee during the 1998 impeachment trial of Bill Clinton. “Yes, I don’t think that Newt could set a high moral standard, a high moral tone, during that moment,” DeLay said. “You can’t do that if you’re keeping secrets about your own adulterous affairs.” He added that the impeachment trial was another of his “proudest moments.” The difference between his own adultery and Gingrich’s, he said, “is that I was no longer committing adultery by that time, the impeachment trial. There’s a big difference.”(http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/06/04/070604fafactgoldberg?printable=true)

Third, no one in history has won a ground war in Russia. Given your support of the Iraq debacle, I know history is not your strong suit. Fourth, we won the Cold War without a shot being fired between the countries although I’m sure your blood thirst for dead Americans would have been more quenched if we had lost a couple hundered thousand invading Russia. Fifth, you suggesting that a 5-star general who oversaw our victory in WWII is a coward, but Bush, who drank beer, snorted coke and chased skirt while his peers were dying in Vietnam, and five-deferment Cheney are war heroes.

how many foreigners from neighboring Arab states does it take to make up the non-palestinian Palestine?

{{{{In just one three month period alone, the League of Nations Permanent Mandates Commissions documented scores of thousands of other Syrian Arabs pouring into the British Mandate of Palestine.}}}}

{{{{Like numerous other Arabs moving in from elsewhere, they came to the Palestine Mandate to take advantage of the economic boom going on because of the influx of Jewish capital. And for every Arab newcomer—i.e. settler—that was documented, many more slipped in under cover of darkness and were never recorded. Add to this the fact that, for a number of reasons, the Brits were more concerned about entering Jews than entering Arabs.}}}}

RW -

I was actually looking in on a computer game that I play in my free time which is coming to an end soon.

Now that I am back - I must address a very serious issue with you.

RW - I visited your link that you posted here at 10:57am.

You then took private information about my employment that you obtained from me linking to your website and then “illegally” posted my personal information on this AJC website. You have broken the law (Privacy Act) in doing so.

I also suspect that you secretly track everyone that comes to your website and have a database of info on these people. You therefore are tracking and spying on people and in doing so violating their privacy as well. If you are using such a database for personal gain then you are also in violation of federal wiretapping laws.

Yes I do work for the government and have done so for 11 long years. They already know where I go on the internet and what I post as all of my info transmitted out is recorded and monitored in this facility.

My bosses here are well aware of my internet activities. And I still do all my work duties (above standard) and am therefore allowed such priveledge. That is called respect and trust.

I also own other business ventures - three of which I owned long before I came to work here. That was partially the reason I was hired into the “Department of Administrative Services” for the “State Of Georgia”.

And when I leave here soon to take the helm of another such (for profit)venture, I go with the blessing of many people here as I RETIRE! (some are even offering to come work for me.)

“LuckoDull”May 28, 2007 9:57 AM “Even on day 1 the United States of America never went after the oil.”

I hadn’t read very far down the blog when I read your post. I was part of the spear tip in 2003 and I’m still in the military. We very much did go after the oil. We had the Republican Guard cornered. As we all know the remnants of the republican guard were the start of this insurgency that we are fighting. While they were on their heels and waiting a final and decisive blow from us, our commanders told us to disengage and go guard the oil ministry and various important oil feeds. My LT couldn’t believe it and kept repeating the command over the radio as if he heard a mistake. Those of us who were near him paused in disbelief for a moment and then carried out that instruction. I wonder how many of those men that we let go that day, have come back to visit me and my soldiers. My reason for fighting is to bring my men home and that is it. That is the way a great deal of us feel. I read this post often and I am truly surprised at the hatred on here. Bush and his cronies are no friends of ours. They are as dumb as the day is long, but they stick with their convictions as wrong as their convictions maybe. They are morally bankrupt. Though the dems are right on our issues yet they lack guts. We are supposed to choose between bold fools and intelligent cowards. I’m an independent. I look at each person on an individual basis.

Fly on the wall — very true, though also a touch misleading. The only reason the Mongols were able to conquer the territory that now comprises Russia is because there was no Russia to speak of back then. It was a land of loosely associated city states, not a single country. It was this occupation that actually pushed Russia into becoming a single entity, at which point it was able to dispose of the invaders.

Just an observation as we evaluate the candidates going into the primaries and general election.

Hillary just spoke in New Hampshire and declared it’s time to replace an “ownership society” with one based on shared responsibility and prosperity.

Shared responsibility? Bill (can I call an ex-President by his first name if we’re on a first-name basis with his wife?) has asked Congress for about twice what Carter gets and half again as much as GHW Bush gets ($1.16 million for Bill - yeah, Harlem rents are expensive. But he spends an awful lot of time there, right?).

Bill also asked for an additional ten grand for more health insurance. This, even though he gets health care from one of the best plans in the country - Hillary’s Senate plan. BTW, he’s made about 40 mill from speaking fees since he left office.

That’s pretty much my observation of the class distinction politics Democrats pretty much follow. It’s ironic, given that political leaders in both parties (as you alluded) are generally quite wealthy. Extremely wealthy, in many cases. And they all do a darn good job of sheltering their own assets and income from taxes while making calls for “fairness” and (generally Democrats) excoriating “the rich.” It’s also based on repeated assertions by many on this blog that Republicans (leaders) are generally rich, selfish, etc etc. while studiously ignoring any examples from the Democratic Party.

But as far as “giving a hand up” - as the topic was Bill asking for 10 grand for health insurance while he’s already covered, you’re kidding, right?

The numbers came from Clinton, not Solomon - in the form of their 2008 Funding Request to Congress. CRS compiled and compared them. Solomon reported them, along with comments from Clinton’s office.

Whether or not you care for a reporter doesn’t change the validity of the numbers he pulled from reports submitted by Clinton.

All good points about him.

Many already separate Iraq from a war on (pick your term - radical Islam).

And when it comes to deciding for whom to vote - especially with a more socially moderate candidate like Giuliani, well, the perceived “will he protect my family from these evil fanatics?” may be the deciding issue.

Speaking of p-ussies:

The 2008 campaign will require more Secret Service resources than expected, the Washington Post reported Tuesday. The article also brings up some interesting highlights on Secret Service coverage for the Bush administration:

(T)he Bush administration has doubled the number of officials granted Secret Service protection, from 26 to 54, including top White House aides such as the chief of staff and national and homeland security advisers.

Guess the paranoia is justified considering their abysmal approval ratings. We always thought it was just a coincidence that Cheney never leaves his undisclosed location during full moons.

And while the 2008 campaign gets going, the service is also gearing up for January 2009, when President Bush is set to leave office … The service has begun training agents to fill 103 full-time slots as to be part of the current president’s retirement detail.

103 personal, full-time Secret Service agents after he’s retired? Bush must not be planning on making any more friends over the next year and a half.

And to think that these are the same folks who didn’t want Speaker Pelosi – second in line to the presidency – to have a military plane for official travel (much less a fighter jet to land on an aircraft carrier for a photo op).

Oil ministry an untouched building in ravaged Baghdad April 16 2003, 4:26 PM

Since US forces rolled into central Baghdad a week ago, one of the sole public buildings untouched by looters has been Iraq’s massive oil ministry, which is under round-the-clock surveillance by troops.

The imposing building in the Al-Mustarisiya quarter is guarded by around 50 US tanks which block every entrance, while sharpshooters are positioned on the roof and in the windows.

The curious onlooker is clearly unwelcome. Any motorist who drifts within a few metres of the main entrance is told to leave immediately.

Baghdad residents have complained that US troops should do more to protect against the looters, most of them Shi’ite Muslims repressed by Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated regime who live in the vast slum known as Saddam City on the northern outskirts.

But while museums, banks, hotels and libraries have been ransacked, the oil ministry remains secure.

The symbolism is loaded, considering how vehemently the United States and Britain denied war opponents’ accusations that the campaign to oust Saddam was driven by oil lust.

“They came from the other side of the world. Do you believe they’re going to do much for me? They’ve just come for the oil,” fumed Salam Mohammad Hassan, a doctor who lives near the ministry.

Residents noted that the irrigation ministry, just next door, was torched.

US forces, who say they cannot prevent looting across the capital of five million, respond that they are not trying to seize Iraq’s oil resources but preserve them.

“Anyone who says we’re protecting this ministry to steal Iraqi oil doesn’t know what’s really going on in this country,” US Captain Scott McDonald told AFP at the ministry gates.

The United States, he said, is only safeguarding Iraq’s potential which would otherwise be considered game for looters.

“Oil belongs to the Iraqi people; it’s their property. It must be protected because it’ll go, indirectly, to build schools and hospitals,” he said.

McDonald said a few looters had managed to sneak into t

Secondly, The idea that we are fighting “insurgents” from the Republican Guard who weren’t taken out because a decision to guard the oil fields was made is ludicrous. I think you’re confusing the Republican Guard with the Baath Party…

To all my chickenhawkish neoCON friends (sic), you can bleat and cry and sling barbs like “pinko”, “moonbat”, “appeaser”, etc, but it’s yall that are on the fringe. Maybe someone here will be kind enough to let us all know how it feels to be on the wrong side of history.

To Democratic Congressional leadership, grow some balls. In the face of an unpopular war and an even more unpopular president, you still can’t stand up for what’s right? Pathetic.

The Curly Family goes to the Creation Museum

Scene 1

The Curlys pile into the family’s 77 Pinto and drive to Kentucky. The bluegrass makes daddy Andy reminisce about the good ol’ days when queer and coon beatings were no big deal. The 19 year old twins, Jethro and Gomer, ask daddy, “What’s a coon?” and daddy replies, “Never mind, I’ll tell you when you’re older.”

When they arrive at the museum mommy Curly, Lulu, starts a commotion when she learns that the show uses this new fandangled technology called animatronics. (“Sounds like the tools of the devil to me!”) But the soldiers of christ assure her that it is all divinely inspired technology and only used to tell the reveal the filthy lies told by liberal scientists.

All goes well until they get to the Noah and the Ark exhibit when security sees Andy drinking liberally from a flask. When he’s detained and searched he protests that “Ize only trying to help them poor moonshiners!”

As he is being thrown out, he asks one of the rent a cops, “Hey, when yall gonna build one of these here mooseums in Jawjuh? We sho cood yoose one down there with them libral coon lovers an all.”

Thanks for the catch on the CMH regarding Cunningham. I’d seen an episode about him a couple nights ago on the History Channel and thought they’d said he’d received it. The entire point, of course, was a bit tongue-in-cheek against the “outrage” (we do have a bit of that here) expressed over allegedly calling a vet a liar. Nothing about the truth content of what was said, just outrage over the label.

I thought your comment in regard to my Giuliani comment. I didn’t mean you’re okay with infidelity – it was just the blanket was “so much for character.” Clinton is a good example of weakness in certain character areas but great capability in political areas. So consistency means if one is okay with Clinton’s “flaws” they should really not pitch stones at other candidates – even if they are Republican.

I have a feeling even if the Dalai Lama ran someone would allege some “dirt” as to why he’s of low character.

Luck,

Bush joined the National Guard in May of 1968. More soldiers died in Vietnam after he joined the National Guard than before he did. The war went on for 7 more years. I think he had the chance to go if he wanted.

You say that many died flying fighter jets in Texas. Do you think he joined the Texas Air National Guard because it was more dangerous than Vietnam?

I notice that you completely ignored five deferment Cheney who has said that he had “other priorities.” His other priority was avoiding service.

You say that one hundred million died due to Communism b/c Truman and Ike wouldn’t invade Russia. I don’t care if its two. Its better that than the tens of thousands of Americans who would have died doing something as stupid as invading Russia. I care about Americans, excluding you of course who should die immediately, not the victims of Communists. By the way, people continue to die in China. Do you want to invade? Why don’t you go handle it yourself? Go kill a Chinese commie for Christ. You can “do the right thing” and as a bonus we’ll be through with you. My guess is you won’t be going to China because you are a Cheney/Bush coward who only sends others to die while you run your mouth and talk tough.

Luck, Call these troops cowards. I dare you:

“I thought, ‘What are we doing here? Why are we still here?’ ” said Safstrom, a member of Delta Company of the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry, 82nd Airborne Division. “We’re helping guys that are trying to kill us. We help them in the day. They turn around at night and try to kill us.”

His views are echoed by most of his fellow soldiers in Delta Company, renowned for its aggressiveness.

With few reliable surveys of soldiers’ attitudes, it is impossible to simply extrapolate from the small number of soldiers in Delta Company. But in interviews with more than a dozen soldiers over a one-week period, most said they were disillusioned by repeated deployments, by what they saw as the abysmal performance of Iraqi security forces and by a conflict that they considered a civil war, one they had no ability to stop.

They had seen shadowy militia commanders installed as Iraqi Army officers, they said, had come under increasing attack from roadside bombs - planted within sight of Iraqi Army checkpoints - and had fought against Iraqi soldiers whom they thought were their allies.

“In 2003, 2004, 100 percent of the soldiers wanted to be here, to fight this war,” said Sergeant First Class David Moore, a self-described “conservative Texas Republican” and platoon sergeant who strongly advocates an American withdrawal. “Now, 95 percent of my platoon agrees with me.”

Hey, Moron 6:00

I think all those “in the Guard, could have gone, avoided the draft while brave people volunteered” posts (not just yours) were written by people who were born waaaay after the war was over, or those with fading memories -

One more time (IMHO):

The poor schlubs with no family background, education or connections got drafted. If you got drafted, you went to Vietnam. If you thought you were going to get drafted you tried like crazy to join the Navy or Air Force and avoid going to Vietnam.

Those with means went to college and got a draft deferment. Some went to college for a lonnnnng time.

We went to a lottery for the draft - affected those in college. The ones who were envied were those with the luck or connections to get in the Guard or Reserves. They were great choices ‘cause most Guard or Reserve units (unlike today - it was thought there’d be a mass revolt if middle America had to up and go)didn’t go to ‘Nam.

Those who volunteered fought like crazy to get in the Navy or Air Force. Those who volunteered Army or Corps, or who got Navy or AF but still volunteered for ‘Nam were looked at as really, really suspect.

Lots went to Canada. Or England. Even a Rhodes scholar or two.

Going to ‘Nam was not about patriotism, or love of country, or anything else (after we’d been there a couple of years). You went to ‘Nam because you were plain unlucky.

So enough about all this revisionist nonsense about the Air Guard and avoiding Vietnam and any comparison that it was in any way comparable to today’s situation.

Just for the record, we didn’t not defend the oil ministry for “Iraq’s Potential”. We defended that oil ministry for Haliburton. The american citizens that I fought for are not getting a dime of the money that comes from the oil deposits in Iraq. The security for Haliburton personnell are better protected than we are and that is a fact. Since we secured the oil can we at least get better protected Humvees and vests and other equipment that we need. IED’s are killing us all the time and they insurgents are getting better at it. Mr. Luckodull is it unpatriotic as a soldier to ask that the proceeds from the oil benefit the fighting men and women of america instead of the executives at Haliburton? I think not.

It’s amazing that 100% of all former Bush supporters about Iraq are now entrenched in the democratic position of just 18 months ago, which all those leaping lizards (from the Bush ship of state) once labeled as treason. These geo-political wizards are now only 18 months behind the curve instead of six years.

However, it is a very transitory debut of their new wisdom. They will come to understand the full ramifications of Bush’s rash rush to war, and they will kneel in mea-culpic self flagelation and shame.

ditto rush himself. when he comes to understand that every word he’s uttered for six years has had no construct in the real world of the truth on the ground or in the air of Iraq, then he will implode, and never talk radio again. I suspect he’ll do what Marlon Brando did, and buy an island, maroon himself, and smoke dope.

The consequences of Bush’s rush to war in Iraq will soon be absorbed by all americans and boy are they gonna be p**! You think the Venezuelan’s can riot? Get a load of the fat ladies in Peoria when they figure they’ve been had by a child president using neo-bonics to supersize a happy meal (of a threat).

There is no credible blogger supporting Bush. They’ve all abandoned ship. Amazing.

Stay tuned for the truth about Iraq as the Shia Superstate if we leave before the year 2107. We are STUCK, TRAPPED, MAROONED in Iraq.

There was a small IED incident this morning, and the explosion was a direct hit, but the bomb was so small that mechanics had the vehicle back in shape by late afternoon. Calm truly has fallen on this city.

But the mainstream liberal media is committed to their agenda of only showing us and only reporting on the bad things.

Why is that?

Fitzgerald has made it clearer than ever that he was hot on the trail of a coordinated campaign to out CIA agent Valerie Plame,” writes Froomkin, “until that line of investigation was cut off by the repeated lies from Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.” Froomkin adds that in response to charges that Libby’s prosecution was unwarranted, “the special counsel evidently felt obliged to put Libby’s crime in context. And that context is Dick Cheney}}}

This is an interesting take on Gadhafi in Libya. With age comes wisdom, and a little pressure never hurt either.

From Stratfor:

(((A Libyan regional court judge ruled on Tuesday that five Bulgarian nurses who have been held in the country for the past three years on charges of intentionally infecting several hundred children with HIV did not slander Libyan officials when they said they were tortured into confessing to the crime. The same day, British energy supermajor BP announced the imminent return of its operations in Libya after a 33-year hiatus spurred by Tripoli’s 1974 nationalization decree. These two developments herald Libya’s long-awaited re-entry into the international community, as well as the opening of a panoply of doors.)))

(((Gadhafi is a strange man with a legendary ego. He believes (in manners not altogether consistent) he is destined to reform and lead Islam, international communism, the Arab world and the African continent. And while many doubt his sanity, few doubt his charisma and energy. In the past, he has attempted to invade neighbors, but he also has proven capable of mediating some of Africa’s most intractable conflicts in Sudan’s Darfur region and Somalia. He personally ensured the successful formation of the African Union and is rare among leaders of the developing world in that he is eminently willing to put his money where his mouth is — so long as his 500-strong all-female bodyguard squad is close at hand. If Europe or the United States could constructively engage Gadhafi and help shape his project-of-the-day, the president’s dynamism and resources might be harnessed to further Western goals in Africa and the Arab world.)))

Speaking of perjury, when does Fitzfong lock up Valerie?

Taken in sum, the evidence in Bond’s additional views seems to definitively lay to rest the question of who suggested Joseph Wilson for the trip to Niger. But it doesn’t lay to rest questions about Valerie Plame Wilson’s varying accounts of the matter. “Mrs. Wilson told the CIA inspector general that she suggested her husband for the trip, she told our committee staff that she could not remember whether she did or her boss did, and told the House committee, emphatically, that she did not suggest him,” Bond writes.

LuckoDull, I do agree with you that we need to see more of the “good” that is taking place in Iraq, but what about those soldiers who have been on this blog that have been there first hand, and you and Buy Danish simply dismiss them? What about those guys? You can’t have it both ways. For every one of the soldiers who tell about the good, there is another one who tells about the failures, are these guys just cowards just because they see it differently - even though they were there and saw everything first hand?

I don’t think so. You guys can’t dismiss these soldiers, just like we can’t dismiss the others.

Iraq Veterans Against the War

“After having served a one year tour of duty in Iraq, 2003-2004, I have returned home fully convinced of the immorality of this war. I strongly believe it is my moral obligation to actively oppose this war, as well as help educate the American public on the futility of current U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East.”- Paul Abernathy, USAR

“I was in the army 4 years as an infantryman in the 82D Airborne. I spent 6 months in Afghanistan and 7 months in Iraq. My views went from pro-war to anti-war as I experienced both places.”- Eric Ahlberg, USA

“Served 3 years in the Army and went to Iraq in April 2003. When I returned home I was angry and baffled at the war that I just risked my life for and needed an outlet of other veterans who understood what I was going through. That is why IVAW is a big part of my life.”- Michael Harmon, USA

“I served for a little over 4 years in the USMC and was half way through my time when 9-11 happened so that I was able to see the military during both peace and war time. I was part of the March 2003 invasion of Iraq and was one of the first to come home in July of the same year. I first spoke out publicly against the war in Philadelphia on Veterans day of 2003.”- Michael Hoffman, USMC

“I served in Iraq from December 2005 to November 2006 and during my deployment I realized what this war was really about, and how tragic all the death was, on both sides. Then and there I realized that I needed to find others that felt the same way.”- Floyd Holt, USA

“200 Combat patrols, 21 IEDs, and all I got was PTSD. I enlisted in active duty in October 2003, after graduating from the University of Tennessee in May 2001.”- Matt Hrutkay, USA

“Former active duty Army Intel Analyst who joined an Army Reserve PSYOPS unit shortly after 9/11, after a five year break in service, just in case his country needed to call on seasoned ex-warriors for the war with Afghanistan -a war he thought was justified. Having served in Iraq in 2003, where he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, he has since given up any beliefs he held about the Global War on Terrorism being waged honorably by the current Administration. YOU DON’T DEFEAT TERRORISM BY BECOMING A TERRORIST.”-

Buy Danish,

Don’t mind these poor degenerates like 9:01 who just got out the homeless shelter for the day. They need something to do besides searching garbage cans for breakfast. After that they head for the DNC headquarters.

Always like to read your posts. You give us reliable information.

Possibly it’s that a line soldier has no special insight on the geopolitical realities that led to our involvement in Iraq, any more than a GI slogging through the jungles of Mindanao would be prepared to discuss America’s and Japan’s interactions pre-1941 or an infantryman in Vietnam circa 1969 would have much special insight into American involvement in Indochina dating back to WWII and the steps that led to his current reality.

Now, put up someone who was involved in the policy formulation, planning or execution (like a couple of the generals on the “I told you so” tour - even though some of why we’re where we are is because of their “brilliance”)and we’ll have something to talk about.

Andy, thanks for that link.

Fair coverage of this conflict is hard to come by, unless of course you are the enemy of America, then you can always count on your victories being presented around any coverage in which a “bad apple” American troop is highlighted. One of our troops screws up it is front page. The “insurgents” successfully launch an attack to terrorize the Iraqi’s and break the resolve of the American electorate, well that will be front page news. If our soldiers complete a school our water treatment plant… we interrupt this program to bring you more of the enemies successes and American failures.

Question for Operation Iraqi Freedom detractors and patriots: Is corrupting a humanitarian program (Oil for Food) in order to erode sanctions really the act of a contained man?

Oh well, “smart” people once said france, russia, germany and china were our strongest allies.

I’d be willing to wager, just like 9:42 a.m. today claims to be a vet, that very few if any of the “soldiers” of the Iraq war that speak out in this blog were ever even in the armed forces.

There are codes of conduct and protocols of respect, duty and honor that have been overlooked in those posts you talk of.

Those are things a sniveling Coward liberal can never possibly understand.

And it gives them away as fakes.

Yes, Paul, that’s true. I read a letter from a soldier once from the Civil War and he thought he was in North Carolina, but the historical facts of the war discount his location (the letter had his infantry, date, etc.).

Most of the generals who have served in this war, tell a different story, the policy makers of the war (the ones who are still around) of course, say the same thing — stay the course.

That’s not to say some of the line troops don’t provide valuable insight. Indeed they do - “I’m a rifleman but I spent a lot of time rebuilding an elementary school” or “we’d been talking about setting up posts among the population for two years - now the generals got a clue but since it’s part of the “surge” strategy we were told it wouldn’t work before we even tried it.” That’s the kind of insight they can provide. I take the “my platoon was ordered to secure the oil fields for Halliburton” or “I’m a Marine and I think this war is immoral ‘cause Americans are dying” with a grain of salt.

BTW - ever notice some of the policymakers (Wolfowitz?) haven’t exactly “stayed the course?” Nothing special in that - it’s fairly, sadly typical. But it does appear those who came behind on cleanup detail are doing a better job.

Eat less meat to save planet: British official

(((“Whilst potential benefit of a vegan diet in terms of climate impact could be very significant, encouraging the public to take a lifestyle decision as substantial as becoming vegan would be a request few are likely to take up,” it said.)))

Alright, so let’s say we stop eating them; do we just leave them around to fart up a storm?

Do we kill ‘em just because they fart? Wouldn’t that make the animal rights activists even angrier?

I read where the global warming folks were telling people not to put too much emphasis on replacing trees to solve the greenhouse gas problem.

I guess the word “green” brought on the suspicion that trees just might be proficient farters as well.

Green “farts”, what exactly should we do about those people?
