Bob Franken: "But many experts say that designating this a civil war will undermine U.S. support even more, which might explain why so many Democrats are jumping on the bandwagon."

Democratic Senator Jack Reed: "I think for months now there's been a low-level civil war going on in Iraq."

"Bob Franken: But many experts say that designating this a civil war will undermine U.S. support even more, which might explain why so many Democrats are jumping on the bandwagon."

A traitor speaks his mind.

Does the last name "Franken" translate to "Dumbass" in any known language? Seems to be a trend here.

[dc-zoo]

Let the truth slip out by accident. CNN won't let that happen again.

To a liberal, a strong US is all that stands between them and their worldwide, peaceful utopia. I know it's hard for us to accept since that seems so silly and irrational. But once you recognize that fact about the liberal mindset, you realize they really do want to undermine the US and are working to do so.

[Paleo Conservative]

So is he related to Al Franken?

" that designating this a civil war will undermine U.S. support even more, which might explain why so many Democrats and the media...are jumping on the bandwagon."

[teacherwoes]

And after all, NBC News did officially declare it one

Well if NBC News declares it a civil war who is to question that bit of wisdom??? I demand that we pull our troops from NBC News offices and station them somewhere they can make a difference...like perhaps Iraq.

To a liberal, a strong US is all that stands between them and their worldwide, peaceful utopia.

You sir, are correct. To the marxists, socialism is inevitable and the US is all that stands in the way of worldwide socialism. The destruction of one country means nothing if the result is utopia.

It's a quagmire.. and a civil war.

[HarleyLady27]

And then the whole U.S. couldn't wait to vote for the dumbass libs.....you get what you reap....enjoy....

[mewzilla]

Franken's Freudian slip....

[Dont Mention the War]

So is he related to Al Franken?

Yes, they are related, but not all that closely. Third cousins or something like that.

[HardStarboard]

>>>Third cousins or something like that. <<<

Siamese third cousins joined at the head! lol

[Enchante]

Bob Franken: Yes, folks, of course we liberals want to weaken America, what else is new? The only surprise is that I actually said this so openly, on a broadcast.....

"Does the last name "Franken" translate to "Dumbass" in any known language?"

That jackass on CNN used to be a newsperson in Cleveland, OH, I think.

At least, I remember the fool and he was crappy here then, but has gone downhill since.

He was the main spokesman whining about the VRWC during the Impeachment, and still would perform a Lewinsky on the Klintoon, if given the chance.....

[the anti-liberal]

I'd rather go to NewsBusters.org and read about it there (which I had, prior to seeing this posted here, incidentally) than actually go to CNN.

Why yes it does. It's almost a direct translation in the Kurganian language of the 5th century BC.
