I know there’s a joke here with pictures of Helen Thomas and the german shepherd dog, but whatever it is, I just don’t get it. If the joke is that Helen Thomas is a dog, I have to say that many dogs are very beautiful, including German Shepherds. Is the joke that the dog would rather go down fighting than to become a pet for Helen Thomas?

The joke is the horrified expression on the dog’s face when he gets a look at Helen Thomas.

“The joke is the horrified expression on the dog’s face when he gets a look at Helen Thomas.”

Come to think of it, that would put a horrified expression on just about anybody’s face.

You are so right and they never will understand. IMO we can never win the war in Afghanistan. Needless loss of life to escalate the war there.

...Why is the old hag trying to protect the legacy of that butcher? Because of his Great Society expansion of the fascist New Deal? Reflexive action to protect a (D)?

I think it's a little of both.

...”It brought back memories of the late Gen. William C. Westmoreland, the U.S. commander in Southeast Asia, who kept escalating the troop numbers after the 1967 Tet offensive in Vietnam. His strategy produced a debacle for us.”...

Of course, the Tet offensive started at the end of January, 1968, not 1967. Helen Thomas has no credibility.

The minute we started withdrawing troops out of Iraq, we need to get of Afghanistan IMHO. Wouldn’t shock me to see the Brits draw way down there. It is an impossible terrain and the rules of engagement have changed to make the soldiers fight with one hand behind their back. When you have to stay away from civilian areas to bomb when you know the enemy is there, you have lost the war IMO. That means the Taliban just has to hide in villages and they are safe to go out pick off our troops and return to the village.

ZERO doesn’t have a clue and his plan is going to get American soldiers killed needlessly IMHO. Vietnam was micromanged by LBJ and we lost soldiers needlessly there as well.

1 just happens to let loose on the personal insults when 1 despises the unquestionably bad judgement of the subject.

Of course, I'm not "horrified" really. It's just a reaction to all the nonsense she constantly spills out.

She’s still getting used to American dialect as she is old enough to have used the King’ english (George the Third) She can remember the British offensive to put down that pesky group in Boston Harbor too!

“-8obama and the libs never understood this...”

I disagree. Their motivation has nothing to do with liberation or stability in that region, which is why the liberals did nothing about Sadam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction”.

The issue is hegemony, and the liberals desire to maintain instability. They do not want a democracy, let alone a democratic republic to be established. It is a complex issue, but at the end of the day you must remember that Marxism is at the root of their ideology.

Thanks for explaining; I should have been able to figure it out, the dog does look pretty scared.
