Wouldn't the DemocRATS be mad if Iraq were totally crushed a week before the mid-term elections.

Yeah, that'd be a darn shame wouldn't it?

You want an October Surprise, RATS? Well, this time you're GETTING ONE!

[Timesink]

It's more than a rule. The gummint is about to crack down on this, and they watch FR as does the rest of the decision-making world.

They won't care if we talk about it if's just been published in one of the biggest papers in the US or UK. Iraq has Internet access too, and once the cat's out of the bag, it's out of the bag.

[Timesink]

No, Pres Bush himself doesn't have time for the Internet, neither do most heads of state. But there are people on staff whose job is to read the papers, watch the TV, and follow the Internet, which has a big station - FR.

I once mentioned in a chat thread that I was suffering diarrhea, and the next morning FedEx showed up at my door with a package. Inside was a bottle of Kaopectate with the Presidential Seal on it.

It's true! It's true!

[mamelukesabre]

It's about freaking time. Someone needs to get the show on the road. I'm tired of waiting and seeing nothing happen.

[RightWhale]

We've all had a similar experience. I was grousing about my lost cat and next thing I know there some dood with the darkest sunglasses I have ever seen standing at the door with my cat.

I thought I was rid of the little monster, but nooooo . . .

[mamelukesabre]

How does one get a job like that? I'd love to do that.

Hello. Thank you for your husband's (and your) service to our country. You and he ARE appreciated and valued!!! We know - most of us - what a sacrifice your husband and you have made - and we also know - more than any other group in our country - how the Clinton and Demoncreeps trashed the military and almost destroyed it = during the eight years from hell.

How can we say thanks for this service - for this sacrifice? I don't know - except in the USO Canteen every day we say thanks - and we can try to do more as the battles intensifiy in the coming months.

Clinton should be arrested and put on trial for treason against this great country and for the damage he did to our fighting forces!!!! (just ONE of the reasons he should be arrested)

Please know that thousands of Americans love, treasure, and appreciate everything you have given - and your husband has given - on behalf of the United States of America = and now, thank God, you have a President who does the same!

You put things just fine, by the way! God bless and keep you and your husband and all those serving our nation at this crisis time.

As former Air Force, I can empathise with your pathos. It appears to me that there is much too of a hawkish attitude prevelant here at FR, mainly by those who are entirely lacking any objectivism coming from personal combat experience. They seem to pontificate with chest thumping patriotic he-man wanna-be rhetoric. I have no qualms with combat vetrans who advocate a military campaign. However, I believe that combat experience transforms rash and bold braggadocio into cautious tempered wisdom.

That notwithstanding, I believe that action against Iraq will indeed occur for several reasons. However, the reasons proselytized in the establishment media will have nothing to do with the ulterior motives of our government. Foremost, it will be something the international cabul will approve of, and in context with that it will allow the U.S. the ability to strategicly deal with Iran; a secondary aspect to that will be affectively insinuating U.S. projection of power into the Middle Eastern conflict.

With that said, I pray for all of our uniformed personell the grace of god to keep them safe and godspeed in order to return to their families and loved ones as quickly as possible.

How does one get a job

We'll all be dusting off our job-seeking skills as this economic crisis deepens.

Errrm, cabul=cabal

[Lady In Blue]

You got that right,blackie!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

The easiest way is to work your butt off on the presidential campaign of the guy that ends up winning. A lot of White House jobs are handed out as rewards to those that really helped their guy win.

Barring that, you can always try the old-fashioned way and simply apply, but I just ran a search on the USAJOBS database and it appears there's not a single opening of any sort at the White House right now.

Of course, it also helps to not have anything in your past or present that could be used to either blackmail you or potentially embarrass the president if it came out. So try not to have any sex-with-underaged-girls charges on your record.

[mamelukesabre]

It already hit me. I'm in the middle of a not-so-successful job search right now.

[mamelukesabre]

All I got in my background is a little stunt I pulled back in highschool. I spray painted "CLASS OF XX" on the school hallway the day of graduation. We had a really anal principal and he had me arrested for it.

Don't you think most of the Demon Cats will be cheering for Iraq?
