Arnold S. in Iraq...
Self

Posted on 07/05/2003 12:03:50 AM PDT by L.A.Justice

I watched Arnold S. on TV...He was visiting troops in Iraq. He stated that US soldiers are true "terminators". Arnold also remarked that the bad conditions he encountered in Iraq reminded him of chaos in CA...

It was nice of Arnold to visit the troops...He could be spending time in Asia or Europe to promote his T3 film...Asia and Europe are important markets...I don't think that the studio considers Iraq to be an important market for the T3 film...

It might have been even better if Arnold visited the troops with a female star...But, who? Jennifer Lopez?

Ann Coulter.

This tells me a lot about Arnold. He could be making hay politically in other ways that would be more expedient for him, but he chose to visit our troops in Iraq. Which I think would cheer them up considerably. Any hot chick with him would be Ok but I don't think it's necessary. Arnold can stand alone.

I'm here to tell you, that based on my own experience, that a hot chick is always welcome. I think ah-nold will do well in the upcoming unseating of Mr Davis.

Ok, now that I have your attention. LOL! I've read here that the Reps are thinking they want a Democrat as governor because the state is so f*d up they want the Democrats to answer for it.

California is so messed up, I don't know if anyone can pull a rabbit out of the hat.

And have the troops fight "a rear-guard action"

Arnold seems like a good guy and I am far more conservative than he is, but I thought it was a bad choice to make comparisons between California and Iraq. After all, we made such a big stink when Kerry talked about a "regime change". I was surprised I didn't hear anyone attack Arnie on it. (I guess he's a little more imposing!)
In addition, I have a problem with the fact that Linda Hamilton is not in T3!

Why? He's just calling a spade a spade that's all. Both are in very chaotic positions just as he said. Have you put Arnold in some personal PC code?

Are you okay with Kerry's comment too?
I don't have a political PC code. I was expressing my opinion.

He's not the first to compare the streets of Baghdad with the streets of LA. A regular routine with comedians.

Comparing Arnold's remarks to Kerry's --one is entertainment, the other politics. You should understand the differrence.

Both incidents are "politics" since Arnold has said he is considering running for the Governorship of California on the Republican ticket.

Unless you consider Kerry to be entertainment.
