All I know is that soon we’re going to start hearing Dumbo say that President Bush took his advice.
What, no riots at Kent State? I’m disappointed....
That would be the “Bush Doctrine” that you idiots at the LSM love to beat Gov Palin up over.
Yeah, it's just mosquitoes...
Anyone screaming "war criminal" at the Administration as happened back then should be "disappeared" on the spot and not seen again until this war is over.
No more nice guys letting traitors root for their Ho over there leading the enemy against U.S. forces. Not this time!

FDR didn't leave it for Elvis.
When I say W.W.II I do not mean massive troop maneuvers. Give the enemy a punishing lesson in 21st century Yankee ingenuity. The only need for massive troop maneuvers will be here to quell uprisings by the enemies within and to herd 'em off the internment camps for the duration.
It's that serious, IMO.
Obama has said he would do it. That is enough for me.
Authority?
We need authority from anyone to chase those who wish to kill us?
Piss up a rope.
