Plus we have to listen to Mr. Skelton’s opinion and b.s.

Who’s speaking and quoting an ABC and Japanese poll citing the majority of Iraqi’s say the surge is making things worse?

Who is this Skelton jerk? He’s more boring than the teacher in “Ferris Beulleur’s Day Off”.

Anyone?
Anyone?
Buelleur?

Chairman now citing polls of iraqis saying surge isn’t working.

Calls Petreous “right man-right strategy 2 years too late”

I think the drinking game starts now! Your drink of choice, of course. :-) All sentences are paraphrased and are not verbatim, but the same meaning applies:

1 drink: “Lack of progress in Iraq”; “beating a dead horse”
2 drinks: “We support the troops but oppose the war”
3 drinks: “Weapons of mass destruction”
4 drinks: “Go after Osama/Usama bin Laden”
5 drinks: “brutal sectarian violence/fighting”
6 drinks: “the Iraqis aren’t pulling their weight”

Feel free to add or edit as you wish! :-)

These statements would seem to be contradictory . . .

Skelton won’t shut up. He is trying to say everything bad that he can before anything positive might be said.

What a Jerk.

I don't know. I'm asking you to explain why you refer to him as a king.

Can you simply do this?

Thanks.

LOL. That’s why I said drink of choice. It can be water, but you know, water can be bad for you if you drink too much too! :-)

Right now I think half an Olympic-sized swimming pool would be filled...

Concedes “tactical gains” in Anbar but rest of country in shambles. Every promising development has turned out not to be a solution. Cites Tom Friedman??? article

I was referring to the gut hanging down below that tub of excrement.....

That would be "excrement in process."

No, I think that part's real. It's amazing what the body can tolerate.

I obviously didn't make the picture, but I thought it appropriate to set the proper tone, seeing as CaptRon didn't post it with a "Barf Alert." I just had to retaliate at the prospect of having to tolerate that crooked thug Harry Reid, the Left Whale, Dick Dustbin, or that evil weasel Chuckie. It made me wanna hurl.
