• you seem tense.
• I shall pick up my tense like an Arab and as silently steal away.
• Which will make them in the past tense.
• I don't have a tense pun, but I was in a local production of 1776, where it was amusing and/or ironic that the conservatives were anti-war. There was even a song about it.
• What are you, a bunch of liberal chickenhawks? Fighting the war in your underwear from behind the trenches of your laptop and blankie? Why don't you go enlist in the army and fight in the war you love so much, you pieces of shit? Why jack off to war porn when you could be out there doing the actual fighting? What, too chickenshit to risk your own lives, but willing to send your countrymen to their deaths? Fucking typical of the cowardly left. The only good news is that the country has seen your pro-war philosophy for what it is, and will utterly reject it in the next election. You'll whine like petulant kids when you lose, and I'll laught at you. Here's to a glorious new Republican century!
• Hey neat! Mofi performance art. *Golf clap*
• Damn, dood. Er... this is somehow a revelation? (Obligatory) tense kitty
• i think my brain just melted. i have soup. anyone want some? it's pumpkin!
• It is the tragic nature of war that the old, rich white men die far from home, while the young and the disenfranchised enjoy the freedoms that were bought for them at a cost they cannot guess. Or something.
• You seem tense. I hear pot doesn't cause cancer.
• I hear that they are currently working on pieces of giant fly-paper to replace the troops.
• if this man were any more straw he'd have Dorothy and a Lion with him.
• You also seem sore.
• America surrenders.
• I, for one, welcome our new pelican overlords. Here's to the new Repelican century! Feel free to also vote for the true parrots.
• The republicans are against war. The republicans have always been against war.
• Up with publicans! Republicans? ... may they always doubt which side their socks are buttered on.
• TROLL
• I'm confused here. Why are we shouting? Isn't gettin g troops out a good thing? *pulls 'Tom's putting it in now' face until an answer is given*
• NORMAL
• *continues to pull Tom face* *starts to feel pain*
• THat shouldn't have happened! Reset the co-ordinates! /huge stare
• *Unveils the Blakey manouver*
• /STEPTOE
• Tom's cumming now!
• Poor daleks. Can only pull off normal.
• Ah, I see the problem! Can you pass me that sonic screwdriver Chyren?
• I thought that the FPP was just missing a sarcasm tag. Apparently I was mistaken. Or am I missing a joke here? /confused
• I too am confused. tensor, where in Iraq are you serving, again? Also, I find it odd that the memo in question was marked "Secret -- UK Eyes Only." That covers a lot of territory.
• I think his account might have been hacked. I did some searching, because I didn't think tensor was like this, and found this comment, which even though it was made just a year ago completely contradicts this post.
• *votes republicrat* *drops poutine lard bomb on tensor's house* *laughs and laughs until the big ones come out*
• I don't get it.
• I don't get it. I'm sorry, I meant poutine lard mountain. My mistake.
• I think it was rather obvious sarcasm, although this part .. well, they should have voted against the Iraq War Resolution. But they didn't. They are the reason your friends and relatives are dying in that quagmire is pretty much the truth.
• I'm sorry, I meant poutine lard mountain. My mistake. Ack. My bad. I meant the post. Is this a joke?
• drjimmy11: If those obstructionist Democrats (who all treasonous and just hate America) had voted no, then the terrorist would have won! 9/11 changed everything, or something.
• If I can't reveal the names of undercover CIA agents investigating the proliferation of WOMD for my own personal political gain, then the terrorists have truly won.
• Your absurdist waxing is fiendishly clever in its intricacies!
• You can't confuse me with your big words. I have a fucking dictionary man.
• flash map
• Troops to stay in Iraq until 2010
• as liberators!
• So the most interesting part of that map for me was probably obvious to everyone else.... That's how closely aligned the cities are to the Euphrates and the Tigris. Fallujah is commonly described as being about 30 miles west of Baghdad, which to me makes it sound like either suburb, or randomly hot spot in the desert. The map makes it clear that Fallujah is on the Euphrates, about 30 miles west of Baghdad.
• Why We Still Fight
• Did VA Hide Figures Showing 1 in 4 US Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan Disabled From Service?
• Sen. Chuck Hagel R-Nebraska: This is a Ping-Pong game with American lives. These young men and women that we put in Anbar province, in Iraq, in Baghdad are not beans; they're real lives. And we better be damn sure we know what we're doing, all of us, before we put 22,000 more Americans into that grinder.
• Hmm. I googled up some Hagel to find a contrarian quote but it looks like he's been pretty consistent when it comes to Iraq, although he votes conservative the rest of the time. (according to that website anyway) Good for consistency then.
• Be Afraid of President McCain
• Happy Bush Day It's stunning. It's amazing. I think it's huge. I mean, he's landing on a boat at 150 miles per hour. It's tremendous. It's hard to imagine any Democrat being able to do that. And it doesn't matter if Democrats try to ridicule it. It's stunning, and it speaks for itself. See! The Toady Parade! So . . angry . . so . . tired
• Eleven Republican lawmakers expressed their frustrations to President Bush this week about the war in Iraq and its political implications "The American people are war-fatigued. The American people want to know there's a way out," LaHood said. "We will hang with them until September, but we need an honest assessment in September," he said of his fellow congressmen. "People's patience is running very, very thin." One source who attended the meeting, Rep. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, told Bush that without positive results soon in Iraq, his district will be prepared for defeat. Yeah, because it's ALL about the elections and maintaining the status quo. Never mind the hundreds of thousands of innocent victims...
• Shrubya doesn't brook disloyalty though. Questioning this occupation is disloyal. These Republicans will be brought to heel. Oh-ho yes. LaHood? Kirk? Dent? Upton, Gerlach, Platt? Walsh and Gilchrist? Who? These are not the playas. These are errand boys. Sent by a grocery clerk to collect the bill.
• Gen. William Odom writes that opponents of the war should focus public attention on the fact that Bush’s obstinate refusal to admit defeat is causing the troops enormous psychological as well as physical harm.
• I get a "server error" on that link - - Here's the google cache.
• Congress clearly and indisputably has two powers over the executive: the power of the purse and the power to impeach. Instead of using either, members of congress are wasting their time discussing feckless measures like a bill that "de-authorizes the war in Iraq." Amen.
• Contact your house rep about impeachment. Contact your Senator about cutting funding. At least, I think that's how it goes.
• Contact whomever you want. It's not like this buncha thieves is going to listen to the great unwashed public.
• Run away!
• Living a Republican War
• Yup.
