SHUT UP AND SING

"Money doesn't care who it goes to."

-- Joseph Myerson, 1873-1956

Oh, well if Sir Paul thinks it's wrong, well... I am too young to remember the Beatle fascination and too old to care what some foreign entertainer thinks about our choices.

[tallhappy]

I like Mull of Kintyre.

Still, these comments are pretty tame and qualified.

[Red Badger]

Let's all hold hands and sing several choruses of "All You Need is Love" and the mean old terrorists will like us ad be very sorry for their actions and will make us their friends and be like all good from now on and then we can all get together for fun parties and go to the beach and stuff and meet for dinner and be the best of buds and like yos know can't we all just not be mean anymore?..............

"It would have been better if the UN had been together,"

It would have been better, but too many members of the security council (and other parts of the UN) were on Saddam's payroll for that to have ever happened.

"It would have been better if the UN had been together," the 61-year-old singer continued.

They were you idiot. Together they were trying to undermine everything we did because they were in bed with Saddam. What part of that don't you understand? Do I have to make it into a musical for you?

[Paul_B]

The BBC headline is misleading. McCartney only offers a criticism, not a condemnation.

[Havisham]

Shut up, Paul.

[Arkinsaw]

"It would have been better if the UN had been together,"

It would have been better if the UN was not made up of weasels. But alas, not to be.

[Joe_October]

...Now it's become very bloody with Iraq, it's very difficult...

If this is difficult, how would he describe WW2?

Bottom line, the business in Iraq is trivial. The Leftist problem is very difficult.

[G.Mason]

Paul is much like a bait fish.

Perfectly content with milling around in the middle of the school, counting on saftey in numbers for his survival, while cheerfully saying I'm glad it was them and not me.

[CyberCowboy777]

This from a man made popular by hippies and anit-war protesters.

[lilylangtree]

Aw Paul you're such a weenie. Go sittown idiot and shut your pie hole.

[JustPlainJoe]

Again...

"SHUT UP, PAUL!"

"To look for Bin Laden seemed reasonable to go against terrorism, but the war has become very difficult."

Duhhhh... War IS difficult! Especially when dealing with TERRORIST groups and regimes! How hard is THAT to understand?!?

"If someone came to my house and blew it up, I wouldn't just want to sit there and say thank you," he said.

- o.k., so WHAT is your gripe, Paul? Oh yeah, You've got to be 'hip' and 'politically correct' and 'Love is the answer'-even when dealing with EVIL people who want to wipe people like you and me and our children off the face of the earth at ANY cost for no particular reason except that we are NOT them!
Too many years doing too many drugs, my friend....

For the sake of YOUR children and grandchildren, WAKE UP!!!

[BonnieJ]

He is stating an obvious fact, the war has become difficult. Remember all the support, songs and fund-raisers he did after 9-11? He's a liberal of course and a pal to Clinton but far more decent than most of them have been, it seems.

[CWOJackson]

The made Elton John a "sir" also. I guess standards have really dropped when they knight a queen and a dope addled has been singer.

[familyop]

Not so long ago, we were children, watching the Ed Sullivan Show when the Beatles appeared on the screen. Our parents were shocked and said that the Beatles didn't make sense and looked abominable--like girls with mops on their heads.

We should have listened to our parents.

[Charles Martel]

*sigh*... Paul, why can't you just let it be, eh?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Paul's words quoted in the article do not necessarily fit the headline.
