Quote of the Day by PogySailor

[JohnHuang2]

[Joe Brower]

"George W. Bush remains a young president who came to the White House with relatively limited knowledge of the world and its ills."

Good God. Even now, after all the evidence to the contrary, the left still clutches desperately to it's manufactured fantasy that paints GW as some dumb hick. At this point, no one but the stupidest drone is buying it any longer; no one with half a brain believes this crap any more than the leftmedia itself.

This is good, actually -- nothing gives the battle away quicker than underestimating one's opponent. And these losers continue to wonder why they're such... losers!

[Aeronaut]

Breathtaking defeatism. If we keep losing this badly we will have conquored all the evil in the world before the allstar break.

[ClearCase_guy]

With every passing day, it is more evident that the failure to obtain permission from Turkey for American troops to cross its territory and open a northern front constituted a diplomatic debacle. With every passing day, it is more evident that the allies made two gross military misjudgments in concluding that coalition forces could safely bypass Basra and Nasiriya and that Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq would rise up against Saddam Hussein.

Oh, this guy really nails it. He's got the two big reasons we lost this war and had so many of our troops slaughtered. Maybe nexy time we'll let the leftists run the diplomatic and military affairs.

This is just more documentation that the NY Slimes and its mentally ill writers, editors, publishers, and owners are the lead PR arm of the Axis of Internal Evil.*

*Axis of Internal Evil! Borrowed from Sierra Wasp, and then modified a little.

John, maybe you can refer to all of the American anti GW mobsters as the Axis of Internal Evil in future writings.

Excellent suggestion, Grampa *Wicked grin, from ear-to-ear*

Will all these naysayers come out and admit how wrong they were? .... Nah, didn't think so.

Someone (the RNC?) should run an ad on national TV that says, "The following people or organizations were against the war, said we would lose, didn't support our troops or our president or hoped for our defeat. Just thought you should know." and then scroll down the names ... John Kerry, Tom Daschle, RW Apple, etc. etc. etc.

[Pharmer]

Newt claimed that no matter what the facts are these guys will never admit they are or ever were wrong. Even so, Johnny Apple must be having a BAAAAD week!

[YaYa123]

At least the handwringer who wrote this, who is pulling hair out by the roots, assuming the fetal position in abject dispair over US military successes and President Bush's high poll numbers, had the sense to add: "Of course, all that is a worst case prognosis."

I LOL when I read the left describe President Bush's grand design to take over the world. I remember when the media was making fun of candidate Bush because he didn't know geography, didn't know world leaders' names, and didn't seem interested in anything outside our own borders. The media made fun of him because he wasn't sophisticated enough to engage in world affairs, and would be an isolationist president.

The American people didn't believe the media then, and they don't believe them now. They understand President Bush's motives for this war, they know it has nothing to do with imperialism, revenge, or greed.

Couldn't have been said better ;)

Nice piece, Sun Tzupid.

Terrible, terrible week..hehe

Intrepid prediction: Johnny crawls back into his scummy hole, like he did after Kabul fell to the Allies two weeks after his Afghan quagmire article.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Mr. Apple proves with "metronomic regularity" that he's a clymer.

Breathtaking defeatism. If we keep losing this badly we will have conquored all the evil in the world before the allstar break.

I nominate this for quote of the day!

[JohnHuang2]

Re: #8 -- Great idea. RNC should seriously consider doing it.

[ladtx]

Note to Mr. Apple: Well you've finally done it. You have taken an historic American victory (I know I'm a little premature here) and turned it into your own personal defeat. What a sad life you must live, to have to look past the good works our government and our soldiers are doing and grasp at defeat. Too bad you can't share the happiness of us other Americans, it truly is an uplifting experience.

[JohnHuang2]

Jayne, check out #4...we've got a winner ;)

[JohnHuang2]

hehe, Johnny wrote this before this week's tour-de-force U.S. victory ;)

You won't be able to fit all that into a 30-second TV ad unless you run the names really fast or have the font really small
