Looks like Huck peaked a bit early. This is going to kill him with Conservatives.

[Mr. Silverback]

why should we vote for this guy again?

[Eric Blair 2084]

He’s pro life. Other than that he is to the left of Hillary.

[Mr. Silverback]

I just finished a 3 month tour of 15 nations,

Which ones?

There seems to be room for a shift in the idea that there is only a military solution for every hotspot.

Yeah, that's why we bombed Libya, and we have spent no time on diplomacy with two other enemy nations that may be developing nuclear arsenals.

The idea that this administration only does foreign policy with invasions is a leftist talking point. Foreigners have an excuse for buying into it; you don't.

[Mr. Silverback]

Curiousity question: Is spamming above a certain volume contrary to the FR terms of service.

[Lead Moderator]

Yes, as a general rule.

[Mr. Silverback]

How dare this southern-fried bible-beating Huckster defame the religion of peace!!?

Unlike Huck, Bush understands the fight we're in, even if he doesn't articulate it the way you or I would if we were there.

[Mr. Silverback]

You know, George Patton said a lot of things before WWIi that, if heeded, would have saved thousands of lives. The debacle at the Kasserine Pass certainly wouldn't have happened if he'd been in command.

But did Patton whine like Shinseki? Nope. He went out and kicked butt.

This little episode tells us a lot about Huck's character.

[1035rep]

Exactly!

[Mr. Silverback]

Their house, their rules.

[Mr. Silverback]

Well, it’s possible Shinseki was right...but that doesn’t excuse him acting like a whiny little puke about it. Generals advise, the President commands, and generals with character drink a nice cup of STFU when the POTUS chooses a different path.

[Tlaloc]

Is that why Bush gives hundreds of millions of dollars to the PLO and sends out affirmative action hire Condie Rice to demand the Israelis end the "occupation" of Palestinian land, while he holds the Saudi king's hand and kisses his ass?

"We have made the Saudis rich – the wealth of their oil is seed money for terrorism. ... Saudi Arabia funds madrassas all over the world that teach extremism. ... The Huckabee Administration will not waver or flinch in standing by our ally Israel." - Mike Huckabee

[Ramius]

Yes there is money sent to the Pali’s, but in the few millions not hundreds of millions. Sure, I’d be happy if it were zero.

But don’t kid yourself that its the U.S. making the Saudis rich. They’d be just as rich if the U.S. didn’t buy one drop of oil. If we didn’t buy it there’s plenty who will. Its not like we can cut them off and suddenly they’re poor. Heh. Not quite.

[Mr. Silverback]

We have a spambot here: The Huckabot.

I'm going to steal that!

[pissant]

ROFLMAO. Funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks.

[Mr. Silverback]

You hit it on the head.

[Mr. Silverback]

Thanks.

Is the Huckabot getting there?
