GOLD EAGLES AND LEAD BALLOONS
Each month I will award Gold Eagles to champions of freedom and Lead Balloons to statists. Please send me your suggestions.
A LEAD BALLOON to Jack Kemp (R-NY) and Bob Dole (R-KS) who have introduced legislation to forcibly close the Palestinian Information Office in Washington. They would also ban delegates from the Palestinian Liberation Organization at the United Nations. The authors call this bill an "Anti-Terrorism Act." But what about terrorism that uses government force to suppress free expression in this country?
They're still crying because Bush didn't issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal.
Because of that, they've been rooting for the terrorists to win and are quite peeved at the recent developments.
We thank and honor you for your service, ma'am!
And was that a declaration of war?
Why are you guys so hesitant to have the United States to actually declare war and define victory?
That is the authority and responsibility that was given to the Congress by the (gasp!) Constitution.
Maybe some of you 'conservatives' think we don't need that 'archaic' Constitution anymore.
It's nighttime and the Arabic weekend, so the Iraqi government offices are not open. I'm sure I work harder in an average day here than you do in a week. If you're asking about my down time, my answer is "none of your damn business."
What transition is going on that will end the war with our troops marching home in victory.
I don't owe you any detailed explanations. You can find reports about the transition activities on various sites related to MNFI.
Or is that a secret plan like Kerry had?
You'd know more about Kerry than I would, wouldn't you? Your views are more closely aligned with his than mine will ever be.
Will they be translated into political ones or squandered like they were in Korea and Vietnam?
I don't make those decisions, nor do I have a crystal ball. I am embedded on the military side, not the State Dept. side.
Your snarkiness is just amplifying how bitter you are about the positive developments here.
Just go to your Starbucks job and leave the hard work to those who aren't afraid of it, OK? I detest you smelly anti-war types and I have FReeped you more than once back in '03 at your A.N.S.W.E.R., MoveOn, etc. rallies.

You mean it is the beginning of an Islamic weekend don't you?

Well, as long as the American people are being kept informed....
[ Or is that a secret plan like Kerry had? ]
You'd know more about Kerry than I would, wouldn't you? Your views are more closely aligned with his than mine will ever be.
No, since you and Kerry are very much alike and are keeping your plans secret.
Must be on a need to know basis and the American people will get the information when the Government is good and ready to give it to them.

Gee, and I thought I was talking to the person who had the answers!
Your snarkiness is just amplifying how bitter you are about the positive developments here.
And your arrogance is indicative of the attitude of the elites who think that the American people have no business asking them any questions.

Well, since I am an American I have a right to know what is going on or do you think that is too much to ask since it is an American issue?
If anything your post has shown exactly what the problem is, an attitude that thinks it is above any questioning or criticism.
If you are in the government, you work for the American people, we don't work for you.
And he would have used it against Iran, not the USA, and would have saved us loads of trouble.
Instead we attacked the most secular government in the Middle East.
Only the parts of the Constitution he wants to adhere to.
He believes in all of the Constitution.
And your candidate is?
The problem is that the paulie girls do not want to win the war, they want us to surrender. They want to make sure the terrorists see a paper tiger in the U.S. so they are willing to attack us again that way they can blame us for the attacks again. The paulie girls are anti-Israel and anti-America.
More labels.
The terrorists saw a paper tiger in Clinton's foreign policy, yet no one mentions that in the debates-can't criticize foreign policy decisions-that would be unpatriotic!
And the candidate you support is?
Are you posting this because you disagree with it? I agree with it, why are you in favor of the US government censoring free speech? This title is false.
What good would it do to bring up the mistakes of Paul’s mentor, Bill Clinton’s 10 years ago do in the Republican debate?
Let me see, oh, that's right, another Clinton is running with the same foreign policy agenda-the NWO.
The very thing that Ron Paul opposes.
I forgot to ask you, and your candidate is?
I meant exactly what I said.
Well, as long as the American people are being kept informed....
Talk to your media buddies about that. The information is out there for anyone who is interested. If it's good news, the media doesn't want you to know about it. It is not incumbent upon me to separately assemble detailed information for some individual sniveling, anti-war surrender-monkey. My reports follow the chain of authority and are put out for public consumption.
No, since you and Kerry are very much alike and are keeping your plans secret.
See my previous comment. And if you're angling for me to put personal information on a public forum that will compromise my own security or that of those around me, you're more arrogant and self-centered than I thought you were.
Gee, and I thought I was talking to the person who had the answers!
I never claimed to have all of the answers. Those are your words. I have been putting news about OIF out on FR for nearly four years now. If you've missed it, tough toenails. However, I will not violate OPSEC just to satisfy one whining Code Pink member.
Well, since I am an American I have a right to know what is going on or do you think that is too much to ask since it is an American issue?
I told you where to go look. I guess you're too lazy. I guess you expect me to personally serve you. You're delusional. Actually, I have answered many people's questions here on FR if I've known the answer and it hasn't been an OPSEC issue. However, my rules are that you ask politely and you appear incapable of that. Plus, you are not asking specific questions, you are being deliberately vague.
If you are in the government, you work for the American people, we don't work for you.
I am not a government employee. Nice try, though.
You work for the Starbucks manager, correct?
