To borrow a line from the movie "Aliens"...What are we supposed to use, harsh language?

All of that being said, I wish the Pentagon would quit playing word games, it seems so silly.

"We threw down thousands of flyers, telling the Iraqis to surrender or die, well, those that didn't surrender, died."
"Please continue to remind us... lest some of the media forget :-) That includes John Pike. "

My response is a few days late and a couple dollars short, but I surely do appreciate those awesome reminders of the flyers spewed around Iraq BEFORE we went in. Thanks for sharing. I hadn't actually seen them before now. They're impressive.

"You can call it something other than napalm, but it's napalm," said John Pike, defense analyst with GlobalSecurity.com, a nonpartisan research group in Alexandria, Va.

Read my post 36. We sure do think alike. Send Pike an e-mail (as I have done) and ask him about party affiliation. He's NEVER voted Republican. He's a lefty through and through. I cringe whenever he's on FoxNews as an "expert." Geez, he has them suckered.

In my Opinion, John Pike and his GlobalSecurity site should be more appropriately named: GlobalInSecurity.com just as Clinton's legacy is: National InSecurity
