You are really determined to get rodguy up north to freeze his sandal clad tootsies off, aren't you?
That is brilliant.
Gosh...you even brought my brand...what a pal!!!
Thanks, cheers!
LOL!
US silver bullet gals are the best...... gotta stick together!
Which one is Julian? Is the blonde, kinda gay one or the dark kinda gay one?
I better be careful... I may get flagged by the thread host for derailing the thread....
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled program....
"Played Cheney's thoughts that the insurgents were in their death throes and tried to get Hadley to say it was a mistake."
Caution: Rant Mode ON
Why, oh why, oh why can't our side mount intelligent, articulate and aggressive rsponses and arguments in the face of these stupid media ploys? I didn't see this exchange and I'm coming into the thread late, but here's how I would have answered Chris Wallace:
Chris, as any competent student of military history and tactics should know, at the end of 1944 the German forces were also in their "last throes" as well. This did not prevent them from launching the Ardennes Offensive, better known as the Battle of the Bulge on December 16, 1944. Over the next six weeks they killed over 19,000 Americans, or as you might put it, we suffered a massive number of "mounting deaths". That did not mean the Germans were winning; it meant they were exhausting their last reserves of strength.
Military strategists from Sun Tzu to the present day have understood that an enemy can be at its most dangerous when it is at the end of its struggle, just as hunters know that a wounded and dying quarry when finally cornered will fight the fiercest.
Your and other journalist's attempts to imply an inconsistency between Vice-President Cheney's commment and the fact the terrorists have continued to fight and inflict casualties is simply invalid, both logically and historically, and does not accuractly depict how things work in the real world. Both wounded, dying animals and wounded, dying human(terrorist) ideologies can continue to kill while in their "death throes" and casualties will continue to mount, but this does not change the fact that they are dying.
LOL!
It is their fault boss.... really!
Just an AB weather update:
It is currently 83 degrees at my home in Alabama. That is not good, because this will increase the violence of the cold front due to pass thru later this evening....
BTW....
Fat Tim Russert is still a biased leftist posing as a serious journalist or incredibly stupid. The fact that he doesn't mention Able Danger, Gorelick's Wall and why she was ON the panel instead of answering questions from it, as well as no questions about Sandy Burger stealing documents that may have been needed by the Commission proves either one or the other. I think both.
"Just heard that rat/midget Robert Reicccchhh on stuffy stephy(probably sitting on several thick phone books just to reach the microphone)"
WOW, rodguy, you're really roiling today! I haven't seen a masterpiece like that one since last sunday when sam was ripping them apart even tho she was in extreme pain from her sprained knee & ankle!!!!
Any accidents or injuries helping you with that pointed observation?
If he throws the flag....I will ask for instant replay!
"I am definitely going to church this morning."
God works in mysterious ways!
ROFLLLL!!!!!
Uh-oh, you are making the mistake of thinking the media WANTS an answer that actually takes thought!!!
rod..has to be the blond from being out in the "rays" all of the time!
