A 100 percenter is a person you don't want to be around," he said. "They have gas, ulcers, heartburn and they seethe. They're not seekers, they're seethers.

They also vote for people that get typically a tiny percentage of the vote count. That's why they're also known as .005 percenters.

Can you imagine this taking place during WWII? Further evidence of the Oprahfication of America. Our enemies both inside and outside the country know they have a winning strategy in defeating us. Just inflict 75-100 casualities per month on our forces, which is easy to do, and we will surrender. We no longer have reason to mock the French.

Seems the spin by the elites to usurp the presidency via Pr is on its way.

The Elitist Junta is rushing the White House.

. . . his sadness that the American people feel the federal government is "dysfunctional."

Maybe they feel that way because it is, f'rinstance:

1. We've spent billions trying to rebuild a country which seems to have a strong preference to killing our soldiers and each other.
   
2. We've seen the American forces win victory after victory in the battlefield, only to be ordered to throw those advantages away because we can't kill civilians or pursue the bad guys in mosques.
   
3. We've got a giant bureaucracy who can find and deport some 85 year old geezer because he was a teenage SS guard, but we can neither find nor deport armies of gangbangers and drug smugglers because they have their rights to prey upon us all.
   
4. We have a useless bureaucracy which can find and confiscate knitting needles and hand cream from grannies in airports, but will turn a blind eye to terrorist imams doing a dry run for the next 9-11.

Iraq has become "one of the most vexatious problems of our lives," said Simpson, a Republican from Wyoming.

No, Senator. One of the most vexatious problems of our lives is how to prevent Liberals from turning our country into a totalitarian communist "utopia". So far we're failing.

"Iran hates us," Simpson said. "They may not even want to come to the table... They may hate our guts, but there's something they hate more. That's anarchy in Iraq."

Blindingly dangerous naivete.

re: Iraq has become "one of the most vexatious problems of our lives," said Simpson

Wrong, wrong, wrong! Our unwillingness to defend our beliefs and our way of life in whatever means necessary to assure its continued presence in our world! Iraq is a symptom of the disease, not the disease itself. We are going to bankrupt ourselves chasing solutions to dozens and dozens of symptoms while the disease goes on unabated presenting three new symptoms for every one we 'solve'.

Time is running out. I see the next few weeks as the turning point for America. If President Bush does not stand up and identity the disease, and follow through with his promises of Sept. 2001, the die is cast. Iran and Syrian have been shown repeatedly to be the roots of the unrest that the religion of piece is sowing around the world. They have yet to be made to pay a price for their evil ways. Until they find themselves having to pay the price for their activities they can hardly be expected to change their ways.

"Iran hates us," Simpson said. "They may not even want to come to the table... They may hate our guts, but there's something they hate more. That's anarchy in Iraq."

Wrong. Iran has been maneuvering for anarchy and chaos, and not only in Iraq, for a very long time. It's their goal.

Simpson predicted that the report would draw criticism from people he termed "100 percenters."

Simpson is a poster boy for what's been wrong with the GOP since forever. His constant disdain for principled people is why we have 7 of the 9 Supreme Court justices who were picked by Republican presidents and yet the Court remains liberal and constitutionally moronic.

Geriatric ex-banking scandal Senator Simpson: "They may not even want to come to the table... They may hate our guts, but there's something they hate more. That's anarchy in Iraq."

What a maroon! Iran LOVES the anarchy in Iraq; they are the ones fighting a proxy war there. Simpson is 180 degrees out of phase, as usual, from what is true and good.

I am reading Imperial Grunts right now - about 130 pages into it. The general theme in the book coming from the military is get out of the way and let us do our job. The main complaint from the military is we - the United States - train them and then we refuse to unleash them and let them do what we trained them to do. Reading about the Special Forces in SOUTHCOM is that the politicians seem apprehensive and scared that there will be casualties and death, the military recognizes this will happen and accepts it.

A 100 percenter is a person you don't want to be around," he said.

Simpson was 100 percent pro-abort, as I recall, and got consistent donations from the abortion lobby.

I have a solution, WIN at all costs.

Now someone give me a tenth of what the Iraq Study group spent.

Crap!
I was hoping it was Homer.

[deathrace2000]

Here's the long awaited deathrace2000 ISG report. Here's how to fight and win a War. It's the same, long forgotten strategy that served the USA well in WWI and WWII:

Recommended Strategy:
1). Send in the Troops, kill the bad guys, and move on.
2). Send in the Troops, kill or imprison the leaders of the bad guys(e.g., Al Sadr), and move on.
3). Send in the Troops, kill anybody opposed to us imprisoning the leaders of the bad guys (e.g., Al Sadr), and move on.
4). Send in the Troops, kill anybody opposed to us at all and move the F@@k on!
Key Findings:
We don't need Gitmo if we take NO prisoners.
We don't need to stay around for years like Vietnam and Iraq if we just kill all the bad guys.

Conclusion:
1). The US gets mired down when we try to limit collateral damage and appease the PC Liberal crowd! That's what went the F@@k wrong!
2). Israel has a right to exist!
3). Jimmy Carter started this mess with his pathetic response to the Iranian revolution.
4). I've lost faith in the American public. How could that many Americans vote in favor of the Liberal Democrats to solve our problems?

[Tallguy]

Although the Iraq Study Group's report will not magically solve the problems in Iraq, the "hell of a good try" proves that politicians of opposite parties can work together on major issues, former Sen. Alan Simpson said Wednesday.

No it doesn't. To my way of thinking it proves 2 things:

1. That only retired politicians from opposite parties can work together, and

2. The policy recommendations produced by such commissions prove the old saw about "the camel being a horse designed by committee."
