Scary Scenario. Is this the same Barbara Simpson who used to sub for Art Bell on weekends a couple of years ago?

Bump.

Start digging fallout shelters, stocking up on food and water. Prepare for nuclear winter and let the world see that we're doing it. When they ask why, tell them because we're going to nuke every Muslim country back beyond the stone age...

We're fat and lazy. For us to fight to win this battle against terrorists out to destroy us – literally – we must fight as if our lives depend on it.

Some of us are fat and lazy, but not our marines. Our brave marines had the stomach for a fight to the finish in Fallujah, and still do, even after their losses. Some even relished an all-out fight. It's what marines are trained to do, and they do not shrink from it. But then, as always, political considerations intervened: the Iraq National Council cried overkill. Cease fire. Allow the enemy to re-group. The marines were under the apparently mistaken impression that they were to fight to win. Until this is seen as an all-out war against terrorism in Iraq (and the monsters afoot in Iraq definitely are terrorists both in immoral tactics and goals), as elsewhere, it won't be won. And the struggle in Iraq is definitely part of the war on terror despite the Demonrats'strenuous effort to make it Bush's private war.
