Okay, Howlin, I think I've got Joe distracted now. It's time for the super secret pincer move!

Why just a pincer? Let's get the whole clique in here and attack from all sides, just like we mentioned at the planning meeting this morning.

Oh, I had forgotten that one! Astonishingly uncalled for!!

Yeah, that one was a real eye opener. I didn't know we were so reviled in some circles.

Please don't be condescending to me.

In fact, Shut up.

I'm just beginning to express myself.
This is a debate and you are telling me to shut up.
However, I'm typing.

I was just wondering why the country of India didn't join the coalition of the willing and send troops to fight along with our American Solders?

Full list of coalition countries:

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

If I was being deceitful, I'd spin it as a non-apology like Howlin'.

I am not interested in becoming personally involved with you.

That should be pretty obvious. I don't "cotten" to gloom and doomers, especially ones I suspect are here to do no good.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I think you are right about that. I hope so, because he's a good man and when he wins the world wins with him.

we are blowing away Sadr's militiamen outside Najaf like clay pigeons. The two issues are not connected. If there is evidence that they are connected, that the US forces are disengaging because of this prison incident, then that's a different story.

Because they didn't want to, I assume. Go ask them.

Let's talk about the taking of Falluja by the Marines since you posted the picture of bbq'ed Americans.

A fine day for US Marine history, wouldn't you say, the storming of Falluja. Showed it to them Fallujans, didn't we, eh?

India didn't join because 1. They are traditionally non-aligned and 2. We were using Musharif and Pakistan as allies.

This should be obvious to anyone who has followed the war. This does not mean India isn't helping us in other ways.

Hey, you forgot Micronesia. (Actually, I think there are considerably more than those on your list.)

I know you're all Sunshine. You don't give off any bad vibes. That is so great! We can't all be that positive. Do you have a tutorial on congeniality that we could all devote ourselves to.

I don't see why a new group of Iraqis picks up an RPG and says "Bush apologized, let's go out and hit a US convoy". There is no connection that I see there.

There is no connection. Every day the Islamofascists pick up an RPG simply because the sun came up for them that day. The only way they're going to stop is when the sun doesn't come up for them anymore. I don't understand the naivite of those who imagine that these psychopathic thugs are sitting around watching TV and deciding whether or not to strap explosives on their children depending on what George Bush says on CNN. Sheesh!

Bush is a politician who just stuck his foot in his mouth and gave us John Kerry. He ain't Jesus Christ, despite what the Bush kneepad crew says.

Bookmarked. GOP game over thread.

Well.........you finally revealed the motivation for your hostility.

Thanks for being honest, but what you said is really ugly. Really, really ugly.....

But now all your posts make sense.........your disgusting view of those of us who support the President is here in black and white for all to see.

I've come to realize that from the vantage point the president has he has an ability to see the bigger picture. We only get bits and pieces of a larger puzzle.

There are those who come to this board when there's the least bit of unrest (blood in the water) with the Republican party and uses our criticism to feed their hatred of the President.

One thing this issue of the photos/abuse has brought out is that the Republican party is also disjointed and doesn't have a strong voice in the media to bring perspective or balance.

The time when we have Sean and Rush saying things like the president is finished if he apologizes is not what we need. Nor Brit Hume bringing on "experts" who supposedly master in damage control. We need their strong voices to back the president and show how it could benefit in the longterm. But no, even conservative voices rises with the critics to keep this going against the president.
