Let us now happily observe the Navy's shiny and world-renowned Blue Angels precision flying team roaring over S.F. Bay, shaking the office windows and triggering a million car alarms and inducing coronaries in the elderly and panicking the easily panickable into thinking Armageddon is at hand at last, take me Jesus I am ready, oh wait, damn, it's just Fleet Week.

I guess he's worried they'll blow the Bay Area to bits.

One can only hope!

Overuse of adjectives does not make this clown a good author.

I dunno. You may be right. But he sounded queer. Butt-clenching?

"dropping billions in deadly ordnance every day for weeks and months, devastating towns, killing foreign women and swarthy Islamic babies and, oh yes, those pesky ragtag al-Qaida fighters who scattered to the hills months ago."

Sounds like the author took a few lessons in hyperbole while he was at (yellow)" journalism" school.

Gee,

I was with him until he started talking about "butt-clenching" something or other, and I noticed it's a San Francisco paper...

What do you think his beef with the military really is?

Ummmm - Isn't it the point of our military, and these MAGNIFICENT birds in particular, to SCARE THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS out of the enemy?

I think it's just a side benefit that they scare the liberals, too.....!

Oh, and Mr.(?)Morford, I'm sorry for those civilians, I really am, but until the world begins to realize that these guys (Saddam) have to be eliminated, innocent civilians will be victims, whether at the hands of an enemy military, or their own rulers.

See, what we NEED is a war. A big war. A big enough war to burn this god-awful weak-willed limp-wristedness that can't face problems out of our society.

Not that these fa... ahem nancy boys would ever go but at least maybe they'd SHUT UP.

Just like if we deliver Congress to the Pubbies the dims won't go away but they might realize they have to purge the hard-core communists.
