pretty catchy, huh ??
I would still like a small waving American Flag considering the state the country is in at this time. Thanks for getting the header started and trying new ideas.
I believe that the Pentagon ares treating terrorists as thought they are a bloated bureaucracy like they are. They want to go after the leaders and kill them and voila, all will be over.
The politicians know better. They know that is not the case, they do need to kill a couple of terrorists, explain the whoever they kill is Mr. Big . Then using this as a cover they can happily surrender to the terrorists and give them everything they want from a position of strength, of course. Because they know that killing the leaders alone is not really productive except as a cover for surrender.
The only problem is the American people, they want a war, and after all they paid big bucks for all this hardware. So courtesy of the Networks you shall have your war. Sailors crouching on flight decks planes catapulting of the deck, Cruise missiles wobbling into the air, Aircraft carriers escorted by destroyers plowing through the stormy seas. Adobe huts in the cross hairs and poof, go to black. Be medalled generals play, over to you, with be medalled colonels who point at maps and cant answer any questions. Media bimbos standing the flight deck with the hair blowing in the wind hoping they look like the norse godess in Ride of the Valkyries , breathless Dan making up new sayings just like Servant need I go on, we all know the script.
Thats the bread and circuses.
Am I right?
One would like to assume that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton did not keep every piece of jewelry: Federal employees are forbidden to keep gifts worth more than $960. But given the fact that the former First Couple fled the White House with more than a few questionable itemswhich they were forced to returnwould anyone be surprised if Mrs. Clinton was wearing some of Mr. Arafats baubles in the Senate? The Palestinian leader is apparently quite the shopper: He also gave jewelry worth $17,400 to Mr. Clintons Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright. Mr. Arafats Israeli counterparts chose not to deluge the First Family with trinkets: Last year, Israeli Knesset member (and now Prime Minister) Ariel Sharon gave the Clintons two antique maps worth a modest $500.
No one can know what influence, if any, Mr. Arafats gifts had on Mr. Clintons Middle East policy. But the pardons have shown that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are chillingly good at rewarding those who reward them. The Clintons relationship with Mr. Arafat has always been cozy: He was a frequent White House guest, and his wife, Suha Arafat, received a hearty kiss and embrace from Mrs. Clinton moments after Mrs. Arafat finished a speech in which she accused the Israelis of gassing Palestinian children.
One has to hand it to the Clintons: They believe in equal-opportunity greed. They will take money and luxury goods from anyone, regardless of ideology and morality.
They were bought, but much higher.
Still makes them scum, just high rent scum.
GIVE THIS REPORTER THE MEDAL OF HONOR!
The first hard question the man has ever had from the press corps. It finally happened.
If we think just cutting off the head of the snake is going to settle all this...I don't think so. We have to go deeper than that, and I hope they do.
If you're also telling me I have to watch Ashley Bansfield with her hair blowing in the wind on the transports, etc. Kill me now. Or Dan Ratherswill, with cami's on ducking under rock formations, kill me again..
Will we also have to watch them rebuild with the money we'll give them, because we finally end up with a guilty concience for fighting a war they started. You know the doves are going to start in soon. We'll all have to spend our time praying for OUR souls because of the guilt trip that will be laid on us for wanting to fight back in the first place.
