Were I a Soldier Right Now, I’d Be A Little Worried
Written By : Jimmie Bise

At least “don’t ask; don’t tell” opponents can take solace that they’re not last on the Presidential priority list. That position is reserved for General Stanley McChrystal. Last weekend, McCrystal informed America that his Commander in Chief, who set him in charge of all the forces in that the President called the “central front” in the war we’re fighting, that he’s only spoken to Obama once since his appointment, and that only by teleconference.

The President doubled that number by summoning the general to Air Force One while it idled on the tarmac in Copenhagen. The Commander in Chief was on his way home after spending a couple days unsuccessfully working his Crony in Chief mojo on the behalf of his former Chicago machine buddy and the rest of the fat-cats in the Windy City.

Alas for McChrystal and, I think, our soldiers currently fighting the Islamists in Afghanistan, the President wasn’t interested in discussing a winning strategy or giving his top man a pep talk. No, he chewed the general out for speaking frankly the day before.

Great. That ought to put some fear in the Islamists, huh?

Perhaps the President would be better off spending a little time wondering why his general, who is not exactly known for corking off about his superiors, decided to do it this time. Then he might get around to actually meeting the man face-to-face and hearing what he has to say. I wouldn’t hold my breath here, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea. At some point, a Commander in Chief has to talk to his commanding generals while they’re out fighting a war.

    Somebody needs to tell Obama that he's been elected President and not Queen. It's understandable if he gives speeches and makes superficial visits for the first month or two while he and his staff get up to speed, but we're going on 10 months now and all the man does is jet around the world to talk to the press and go to parties.

    He's devoted more time and effort to the Chicago Olympic bid than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Iranian nuclear situation, and the global loss of confidence in the dollar. While he's certainly figured out that it's enjoyable to be carried around on a litter and fawned over by an obsequious media, it's time for him to realize that he's also Head of the US Government and CinC of its Armed Forces.

    Mike that is ever so much malarky. Obama is the commander in cheif and he calls the shots pragmatically thank goodness.

    As a military person McKrystal has no concept of negotiation. To the military hammer the entire world is a nail.

    When we rightly criticized Bush's wartime strategy we were called traiters. Now you blow smoke out your ass and I have to ask why do you hate America so much?

    What shots has Obama called in Afghanistan? What negotiation has he entered in for Afghanistan? What strategy has he called for in Afghanistan?

    Perhaps Obama has done absolutely nothing? And people are starting to take notice that even his generals are calling out for help and getting no response. If it is rare that a general will "pressure the president in public to adopt his strategy", it is only because it is equally rare that a President will ignore his generals – and no, I don't mean 'ignore' in that he listens to their decisions and chooses his another option, I mean 'ignore' in that he won't even talk to the guy.

  • Mike_M

    "I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and – you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows – (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," Harry Reid, April 20, 2007

    “I don’t think there’s been any doubt that if we put US troops in that, in the short term, we might see some improvement in certain neighborhoods,“ Barack Obama, March 2007

    Democrats have offered nothing but lies and poor judgement on the war. Now Obama is angry at McCrystal because Afghanistan is deteriorating while Obama himself has done absolutely nothing to react to the situation..unless you count appeasing foreign dictators and an endless string of date nights with Michelle around the world.

    Looks like the US Military is the latest institution to be sacrificed under the wheels of the Obama Perpetual Campaign Bus so Obama doesn't have to worry about being distracted from parties and speeches.

    When the narcissistic trolls such as Jack Schite are out in full force you can safely conclude that the left are biting their nails over Obama. Even they're realizing that Obama is a complete failure.

  • Mike_M

    "Even they're realizing that Obama is a complete failure."

    Ironically, it the Olympic bid that's causing them to wake up. Obama never did anything substantial, which his critics have known all along. But now that he's blown an effort based solely on his own ego and celebrity, he's been exposed even to his own worshippers.

    Maybe this will help the left realize that they're not going to get everything they want because Obama gives a speech and points out that he's not George W. Bush. Unfortunately they're also realizing that giving speeches and pointing out he's not Bush is about all Obama knows how to do.

    Let's bear in mind that Iran is not "allowing nuclear inspectors into their country and talking for the first time to the west (sic)" it is promising to allow nuclear inspectors into their country and continue talks. This, in fact, is something that Mr. Bush's foreign policy did, in fact, deliver.

    I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong about this, but I believe that IAEA inspectors were granted access to Iran in 2003 as a part of the Tehran Declaration. And that access has not been rescinded by the Iranians since that time. If you recall, there was a notorious inspection in 2007 in which El Baradei said that they couldn't find any weapons production going on.

    So your implication that Mr. Obama has achieved something with respect to international inspectors that Mr. Bush couldn't is completely wrong.

    Additionally, the Iranians have had extensive talks with Western nations for years about their nuclear programme. If you recall your recent history correctly, it was France, Germany and the UK (the EU-3) which sat down with the Iranians in 2003 and ended up with the Paris Agreement of late 2004 in which the Iranians agreed to suspend their enrichment activities. They resumed enrichment in 2005 with the election of Ahmadinejad. The discussions held last week between the Iranians and the US were definitely not the first conversations between the West and Iran over its nuclear programme.

    So your implication that Mr Obama has succeeded in getting Iran to discuss its nuclear programme with the West when Mr. Bush failed to do so is also wrong. The Iranians have been talking to the West all along.

    Now to my way of thinking, that makes your statement 0 for 2.

    LOL What, you typed "liberal traitor" into google and you think that proves something?

    Here is just a few since you seem to have selective memory (why does that not surprise me):

    Wow. Wow Whats_up. Did you even bother to actually read any of those?

    I specifically asked you for examples of liberals being called traitors simply for disagreeing with President Bush and what did you give me? Three examples of liberals being called traitors for things OTHER than simply disagreeing with Bush.

    Example the First: World Net Daily

    Andy Rooney, the senior resident liberal at "60 Minutes," got on his prime-time TV spot to blame not the terrorists, but America for the 9/11 attacks.

    …Katha Pollitt, whose work appears in many left-of-center publications, said shortly after 9/11 that her daughter thought they should fly an American flag out their window. "Definitely not", opined Pollitt. "I say: The flag stands for jingoism and vengeance and war."

    …Actor Harry Belafonte told the world that Bush is at fault because he represents the last two to three decades of "failed U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East" making America "the greatest terrorist" in the history of the world, and Bush the head of a "terrorist regime."

    …The "esteemed" New York Times published sensitive government information aimed at foiling terrorist plots – naturally, the entire world got to see those sensitive documents. Including the terrorists.

    Simple disagreement, eh?

    You fail.

    Example the Second: SpeakNowConservatives.org

    Liberal Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats on a daily basis attack capitalism and democracy. These liberals are always attempting to promote class envy and hate. They tell you how bad capitalism and those who succeed are. That those who succeed are taking from those who don’t succeed.

    No mention of President Bush WHATSOEVER.

    You fail twice.

    Example the Third: Hennessy's View

    The long-term implications of liberalism’s anti-Americanism frightens. As more generations separate our children from World War II–the last war with celebrated heroes–our heroic ideal will become further disordered. Movie stars and singers, athletes and criminals earn more admiration with each passing year. And if that trend doesn’t happen, the media will stop running polls on the subject.

    Only speaks metaphorically about the way liberals have "betrayed" the ideals of America by elevating celebrities over our nation's heroes. And yet again, NO MENTION OF PRESIDENT BUSH.

    You fail thrice.

    How many more do you need mighty?

    I'd settle for just one.

  • Mike_M

    "Now questioning the President is okay, when before it wasnt. Why do you think that is Mike?"

    Who ever said it was wrong to question the President? We questioned Bush all the time.

    You just choose to defend hypocrisy and defeatism. You still have no answer to all the quotes by Democrats from Hillary Clinton to John Kerry to Nancy Pelosi warning about Iraq's WMDs before the Gulf War. Hoping US troops die and the USA loses a war in order to justify a shabby political lie means you liberals have lost any credibility in determining who can and can not be questioned.

    Do you really think it's becoming of the President of the United States to stomp his feet and scream like a ninny at a US Army General for telling the truth about a war?

    Hey fuckwad, did you actually READ the article?

    A simple google search revealed 468,000 articles on the subject.

    And you simply cut-and-paste without bothering to read what the articles stated.

    Since your IQ is in the single-digit range, let me help you understand the issue. This is from the aforementioned link:

    Liberals are traitors – at least the self-conscious ones are. And it is not because they hate Bush or disagree with the Iraq war. Their treason stems from their behavior – from the way they go around telling everyone that they hate Bush and disagree with the war – even to the extent that they sympathize with and give material aid to the enemy.

    Andy Rooney, the senior resident liberal at "60 Minutes," got on his prime-time TV spot to blame not the terrorists, but America for the 9/11 attacks.

    I guess you agree with Rooney, right? We're to blame and the terrorists are innocent.

    The "esteemed" New York Times published sensitive government information aimed at foiling terrorist plots – naturally, the entire world got to see those sensitive documents. Including the terrorists.

    I'll have to conclude that you believe that the NY Times did the proper thing by releasing sensitive information.

    Now, look up the word "traitor" in the dictionary and get back to us.

    Like a good liberal whats_up is applauding the (apparant) intentions here. But where are the results? A promise to let inspector's in under extremely limited conditions? Hmm, where have we seen that before?

    The problem with you whats_up is that you are too ignorant – willfully or not – of the true nature of Iran. Despite Iran's leadership telling us in no uncertain terms what their plan is, you still exercise functional blindness and pretend that Obama will fix everything with words. Obama is quickly becoming the laughing stock of the world. He is a godsend (an Allahsend?) for the Iranians as they will promise to talk and invite meaningless inpections that they can control, and all the while they will continue full speed with their nuclear program. The North Koreans managed this on Clinton's watch and he was by far a better President then Obama could ever hope to be (and yes, I had to wash my hands twice after typing that last part).

    Our wet noodle President is allowing the Iranians to build nukes in plain sight. And he knows there are willing idiots like you that will forgive him in the end.

    Why don't you try reading for a change? Obama has met with Gen. McCrystal TWICE since appointing him, and the second time was just to whine at McCrystal for speaking publicly about how inattentive Obama has been so far.

    Wasn't Afghanistan "the war that must be won"? Wasn't Obama complaining throughout the 08 campaign that we had "taken our eyes off the ball" in Afghanistan? Wasn't Aghanistan "the war of necessity"? Apparently not. Obama's attention span has officially been exceeded. He's more interested in the Olympics than he is in winning the war HE HIMSELF SAID was vitally important to American national security.

    "So despite Bush, the rest of Europe has been talking, is that a bad thing Martin?"

    In truth, my point was to expose the statement that you made as nothing more than an example of partisan cheerleading. Both things that you implied were flat out wrong, and I was just taking the opportunity to correct the misinformation you were busy spreading.

    What's even funnier is that in replying to me, you made another mistake. You said "the rest of Europe". You do realise that the last talks with Iran were run by three EU nations only – 3 out of 44 nations. France, Germany and the UK did not claim to speak for the rest of EU, nor for 'the West'.

    On a personal level, since you asked, I don't really have any strong feelings about whether the Iranians talk with us or not. For well over twenty years, the Iranians history of 'negotiations' on nuclear programmes has been a story of lies, more lies and outright damnable lies. Whether they're lying to the EU-3, lying to the UN IAEA, or lying to the US matters very little to me – they're still lying and will, in my humble opinion, continue to lie right up until they've set off their first test blast. It is clear to me that the mullahs and the Revolutionary Council decided long ago that a nuclear-armed Iran is their goal, and with the blessing of Islam, they'll lie, cheat and deceive as needed in order to achieve their aims.

    Mr. Obama may have started talks, but I'll wait to see some results before I have any reason to rejoice, or even change my mind about the whole topic. I've seen the Iranians make and break promises for long enough that I'm not impressed by some Obama cheerleader telling me that this is clear progress – it's nothing of the sort. It won't be progress until something actually changes for the better. And when you're sitting down with people who'll lie and deceive under the authority of Allah, don't expect things to actually change for the better anytime soon. Remember, the EU-3 got the Iranians to sign an agreement in which they agreed to suspend their enrichment activities. That agreement was informally probably never followed and formally, dissolved about a year later when the Iranians ordered even more centrifuges to step up their enrichment programme.

    For extra credit, you might find some interesting reading by googling "al-takeyya" and learning about how Allah (as interpreted by various Islamic leaders over the centuries) condones the use of lies and deception to defeat enemies of Islam. We've witnessed that policy of 'al-takeyya' in action throughout the entire time western nations have been talking with the Iranians about nuclear weapons.

    Thanks for your response. Lying about what countries are going to do or not is not unique to Islam or the Middle East. Every country on earth has signed a treaty or pact and then reneged on some part of it. Foreign policy is complex and interesting, neither party really has a very good success record with this.

    No it ain't, Nixon. Its part & parcel of the same time-old demonization of anything not considered conservative-enough for the conservative base. If you aren't with the program, you are labeled anti-American or traitorous. Cheney has done this numerous times, over his stark fear of his policies being made to look like what they are – overkill, and therefore not productive, or conducive to our American values.

    Bush actually did that sort of CYA seldomly, but the authors, bloggers, Republican legislators and radio talk show hosts made up for it.

    And then we hear bitching about one memo from DHS that mentions right-wing extremists. Not all conservatives, or most, and not anyone who disagrees with Obama, but right-wing extremists. And the Net is still awash with sanctimonious bullshit about how the right is sooooo offended by it.

    Meanwhile, people are walking around with signs of Obama-Hitler, signs with "Tree of Liberty must be watered", a campaign to delegitimize the current President.

    The right has no moral standing in calling out anyone's patriotism. They have no standing in questioning someone's loyalty to this country. They don't even know the meaning of the word treason any longer. They wear it like a punchline.

    "Lying about what countries are going to do or not is not unique to Islam or the Middle East."

    Yep, that's true. Look at the lies that passed for diplomacy between Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR prior to and into WWII. What, for me, distinguishes Islam from the pack, however, is that the lying and deceit within Islam are institutionalised and sold as being sanctioned by Allah, as opposed to being pathological and confined to the leader(s) of the nation. This means that it has become a cultural phenomenon about which we need to worry, not just the actions of a lone-wolf tinpot satrap or two. I think most nations and people in the world knew that Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, or Nikita Krushchev were lying sacks of sh*t, but none of those bottom-feeders were turning around and telling their citizens – "look, I know I told those fools a whopper, but you all know that God/Allah/The Great White Light of Stupidity says it's all good."

    But in any case, I think a good general rule of thumb about international relations is to assume that the other side is lying and always have a safe fallback position laid out, just to be sure.

    It's further proof that the right only uses it as a weapon, without knowing what it even means.

    Treason is not supporting something deemed unproductive, or undermining, to a specific policy. Even if that policy is war.

    That is a stupid question, D-Vega, and you know it. It is the Left that has so watered down the definition of treason to make it meaningless in this country.

    But to answer the question you are too afraid to ask, I will tell you who truly are traitors to this nation. Jane Fonda, Jim McDerrmot, and most likely John Kerry could and should be tried for treason to this nation.

  • http://conservativebootcamp.com martinhale

    "Is President Obama a traitor to this country?"

    Not at the present time, he's not.

    But overall, I'm not sure that this is the question to ask. By that I mean that while foreign affairs are important, the real issues and work that face this president are domestic in nature and therefore his responces to date are more difficult to assess vis a vis his degree of patriotism.

    I think a more germane question would be:

    "Will Mr. Obama's policies result in negative consequences for the nation as a whole if they are enacted?"

    Once you've answered that question, then you can turn your attention to the issue of patriotism.

  • http://soliver.typepad.com Major_O

    A traitor is a US citizen who knowingly works to injure the United States.

    For example,

    Someone who gives away national secrets to foreign agents without authorization to do so

    Someone who conspires with a foreign agent to harm or overthrow the United States.

    I think it carries the idea of a breach of trust as well, since the traitor is actually a citizen of the very country he/she seeks to harm. Otherwise you're just a plain vanilla enemy.

  • D-Vega

    You are correct, Major, only when you say "convinced" of treason. Because the main fundamental of treason is intent, not whether you believe it harmed American interests, but if that was the goal.

    If it's only "harm" as defined by whomever, usually those who hold the power, then Dick Cheney would be guilty of treason. As he is undermining American policy, as authorized by the present Commander in Chief, by his continuous, Cher-like, Torture Media Tour.

  • D-Vega

    Obama has done nothing that would fit any definition of a traitor. That is said with the caveat that his presidency is not yet over.

    Well, then. There seems to be a contradiction in rhetoric, because there's no way Obama could be a facist/marxist/socialist (or whatever it is this week. The Mahommed Candidate?) and not be a traitor, as the President takes an oath to the Constitution of the United States.

    Now, are you going to grow a spine and prove that Ken Gladney was faking his injuries as you have repeatedly claimed?

    Your psuedo-machismo is boring. I gave you proof on the first thread, second thread, and third thread when you kept bringing this up.

    And still, you have yet to provide any proof that Gladney was kicked, punched and had racial slurs thrown at him. Something you claimed to have seen in a video. Should be pretty easy to pull that up.

    More bullshit from the coward.

    All you have ever said was that Gladney was obviously faking his injuries. No proof, only conjecture and your patented "Because I said so" excuses.

    Sorry, D-Vega, but until you can be bothered to back up your statements, don't demand it from others.

    Run away again, 'little bitch'.

  • D-Vega

    No, I didn't Baud. Stop lying.

    Like I said, all you do is bitch & whine, and never ever have the nads to even post a link or citiation. Amateur.

    Projecting your debate style on others is a sign of a weak and deluded mind, D-Vega. But what else would I expect from a classless ass like you. Your lies and deceptions are as large as your ego.

    Either run away again or try posting on a current thread.

    Watched the video again last night Baud, none of those things that you claimed occured happened. If a video exists point us in that direction, the fact that you havent leads me to believe that video doesnt exist.

    Thank you.

    Although proving what a duplicious liar and classless ass you are is not very difficult. After all, you do most of the work for me!

    "Well, then. There seems to be a contradiction in rhetoric, because there's no way Obama could be a facist/marxist/socialist (or whatever it is this week. The Mahommed Candidate?) and not be a traitor, as the President takes an oath to the Constitution of the United States."

    Let's unpack this statement a little, shall we? First, I find it extremely interesting that a liberal would equate promotion of socialism with violating the Presidential oath of office (since they all promote, to some extent, socialist programs).

    But, of more importance, where D-Vega, does the U.S. Constitution outlaw or prohibit socialism? I would tend to agree that the Constitution prohibits the kinds of government power required to impose socialist "solutions" on us, but the U.S. Constitution neither mandates nor prohibits a particular economic structure for the U.S. (well, I suppose, inferentially, the guarantee of property would tend to rule out full-on Marxist communism, but certainly socialism is not impossible within the bounds of the Constitution).

    I would concur with you, D-Vega, that Obama's motives are key: If he is promoting policies that materially harm the U.S. through ignorance, he is incompetent, but not malicious. If he is promoting those policies due to a desire to see the U.S. "brought down," then he is at least malicious (and possibly also incompetent, since he seems to be faring poorly in actually enacting those policies). So which do you think it is?

    Given (i) his long-standing associations with avowed haters of the U.S. (Ayers, Jones, Wright, etc.), (ii) his own world-wide "apologize for the U.S. tour," and (iii) his frequent international statements condemning the U.S., it would not require a great leap of logic to conclude that this man dislikes the U.S., and wants the U.S. brought down to a level no better than other countries. I can't read his mind, but the comments he makes and his associations certainly give me cause to wonder.

    Yes, TheBaud's point was proven. Thank you for acknowledging it.

    I see you are adding a new facet, D-Vega. For a long time, it has been…

    1 – Demand of others what you refuse to provide yourself.

    2 – Ignore requests for proof and run away when confronted.

    Now we get…

    3 – Lie and claim to have already provided proof.

    Here's the part I don't get, D-Vega. You are held up by some on this board as a shining example of Liberal thought. Yet you whine about everything and everyone, you have been caught in more lies than I care to count, and when you are confronted you run away. THEN you have the audacity to return to day-old threads (OR DAYS-OLD) to continue your childish rants against people you think are no longer there, in an infantile attempt to get the last word in.

    If you are what passes for Liberal thought these days, then Conservatives have nothing to fear.

  • D-Vega

    Again, a lot of posturing from The Baud, but nothing of substance.

    When you can provide proof of the things you claim, then you can lecture me.

    Until then, GFY!

  • D-Vega

    What things, Baud? Be serious, for Pete's sake.

    If you are seriously looking for supporting proof, then ask for it and accept it or counter it. Don't ignore it and then say it never happened. It makes you look like a pompous ass.

    Posted by D-Vega 2009-10-06 17:03:11

    I haven't ignored anything D-Vega. For me to ignore proof would mean you ever provided any, which you have not.

    I asked you to prove your claim that Ken Gladney was faking his injuries. You claimed it was obvious. I asked for real proof and you ran away REPEATEDLY.

    You are obviously unable to back up your statement, so you deflect by demanding of others that which you cannot provide yourself.

    Again, you have proven to everyone here who the true 'Little Bitch' is.

  • D-Vega

    Okay, I'll play Wheel of Idiots, Baud.

    I have said repeatedly that Gladney faked his injuries because RIGHT AFTER the altercation with SEIU, he was walking around, unscathed and talking perfectly. The police showed up, did not take him to the hospital, did not charge anyone.

    The next day, he is at a rally, beggin for money (lying actually about losing his insurance) and in a wheelchair. How the hell could he be in a wheelchair the next day when he was fine right after?

    Lastly, there is no proof that he was ever even punched or kicked. Actually, the video shows HIM standing over a union guy and then another union guy pulls him to the ground. And that's the extent of the altercation.

    So of course he was faking.

    Now, there's my proof. You can counter it or accept. If you simply rant like a little bitch then don't ever question anything I say here because it means you are not in the same league. Refutation is the only thing I'll accept. I would even accept an opinion. But if you just want to be an ass, go to Free Republic.

    AND, you said that you saw video of Gladney being punched, kicked, and having racial slurs thrown at him. Please provide proof of this video or STFU about Gladney, my supporting proof, or anything else rattling around in that head of yours.

  • D-Vega

    I'll await your response, Baud. And if you dodge my post, I will paste and link this thread everytime you try to address me on any thread.

    It's time to put up or shut up.

  • TheBaud

    Posted by D-Vega 2009-10-06 17:27:42

    Ah, I see. More of the patented D-Vega "Because I said so" PROOF?

    I have seen many people get up from accidents, refuse treatment, and walk away just fine, only to have injuries that present later. He went to the hospital later and was treated for his injuries. I noticed you left out that part of your rant. I also note that you have provide only your opinion of what you saw. So you are a trained physician? EMT? First Responder? No, I didn't think so. And curiously, no links or direct quotes, which you demanded of me. So this is your proof, you saw what you saw, drew an uninformed conclusion, and VOILA, he is faking?

    Well, I know for a fact as a trained First Responder that injuries sustained in an incident can be masked by adreneline or fear or any number of things, and may present themselves much later. I have seen people pull others from car wreckage, only to collapse later with serious injuries. So it is not obvoius he is faking his injuries. It is not obvious that he did not need the wheelchair. And without medical confirmation, you don't know SHIT about his condition!

    And for your information, asshole… I will question you and anything you say any time I want to. You are not the owner of this site, and you can take your false indignation and your threats and shove them up your ass. If all you can do is piss and moan about how mean Conservatives are, crawl back to KOS or DU, if they will have you!

    And for clarification, I said the video I saw showed him being punched and kicked. There was no sound to the video and it was Gladney that claimed the racial slurs were said. Do try to keep up.

    What an asshole you are. You run away and leave for hours, and then lecture me about no responding to you.

    Fuck you very much, D-Vega! And your juvenile threats too!

  • D-Vega

    Like I said, Baud, you are liar that has no skills whatsoever in debating, writing or interesting comments.

    You think by being the resident thug/idiot that no one will notice that you lack the skill and integrity of other posters here.

    You have not provided any proof of what you saw, but you have the nerve to question mine. What a moron.

    Posted by D-Vega 2009-10-06 17:53:00

    So when you said you would except opinion from me, you were lying about that. Even though all you offer as proof is your opinion. "Refutation is the only thing I'll accept. I would even accept an opinion."

    The only difference in the two opinions being that you have zero medical training and I have a small amount.

    So I refuted your arguments and offered my own opinion, and you lash out further. And you are questioning my skill and integrity?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

  • TheBaud

    Posted by D-Vega 2009-10-06 17:53:00

    So, D-Vega, you waited a whole 11 minutes above before you lectured me on what would happen if I did not respond to you. It's been a bit longer that than since my last response, so where are you? Are you going to respond to me? Perhaps if I were to make some infantile threat like you did, would that help?

    D-Vega, have anything to say??????

    I have a relative who served in Iraq and is now in Afghanistan. He has told family back home that they are not getting what they need there.

    Is that scary? Maybe frustrating? How about betraying?

  • D-Vega

    No more scary, frustrating or betraying than it was with Iraq when Bush was President. Someone in that admin said you go to war with the army you have, not the army you want.
