So, how are things going elsewhere in Iraq? Despite the fact that it's clearly uncool these days for people to ask "tough questions," even when they're asked to, some news is still leaking out. For example, according to the London Times, the US Army is "plagued by desertion and plunging morale" - apparently more than 5,000 soldiers have deserted since the war began, and "For the first time in a decade, the Army National Guard missed its recruitment target this year." The Times article goes on, "Experts are divided over how stretched America’s military really is. But they agree that another conflict would put the military in overdrive. Another war would require a shift to a 'no-kidding wartime posture in which everybody who could shoot was given a rifle and sent to the front,' according to John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org." So we've all got that to look forward to. But hey let’s keep on supporting Bush and the rest of the Neo-Cons as they continue to drive a wedge between us and the Arab world. It’s good to know that the majority of Americans have no clue what foreign policy is or how to get along with other people. Just invade on trumped up changes and then pretend to be liberators as you rape and pillage a country under the banner of freedom and democracy. I’m sure that Bush and Rove and his Mossad handlers are happy that there are web sites like Slave Republic out there to do their dirty work for them. I mean who cares if thousands of Arabs are being killed in Palestine and Iraq. Let Freedom ring!!!
Heh..heh. You said "cockles".
Maybe the child that wrote this would feel differently if his brother or father was over there putting their life on the line for his dead ass. Someone has to, this person sure wouldn't have the stones to do it...
Your name is about right, stomach flu, because you just spewed diarrhea for this post.
Loser
"I mean who cares if thousands of Arabs are being killed in Palestine and Iraq."
Not me. I would like to see them all die.
You can define it differently in different discussions and be absolutely convinced that you are competent, erudite, knowledgeable and studley.
It's delusion by another name, and frighteningly more common than I ever imagined.

Your stash must be running low, you're worse this time. Tie the Mossad conspiracy to Exxon somehow. Pretend to be sympathetic to our cause. Break your CaPS lOCK key and wait just a day. You have great potential, keep trying. Oh, and multiple posts tend to drive your score down. Come up with one great one, then let it stand.

"John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org. Whoever the he!! that clown is."
When I first found out about the site it sure seemed a great place to get quick info (often accurate) about FOB's military units deployed etc.. In this respect globalsecurity is fine.
But as I started examine some of Pike's assesments of things, a trend developed. He appears to be a far left wing liber, set up in Washington, that gets enough bucks to continue supporting his left wing adgenda. He is a clever one in some ways. He can mix half truths with bad logic quite well.
No response required. Just stating my viewpoint.
You want truth? Here's a truth for you: "Stupid Liberal" is redundant! That's the truth!
