Why did you forget to post the

Alert?

[goldstategop]

Yeahhhhhhhhh... where's the MEGA-BARF ALERT??? Anyway, I think even a wacko leftie like Ted Rall's right about one situation where Hellfire missles won't ever be use despite the world of difference to this country's future they would make. We're just too civilized to use them.

Granted, it's unlikely that CIA missiles will begin raining down on Berkeley or other liberal burgs anytime soon.

What does "droit du seigner" have to do with this?

Definition: droit du seign·eur

NOUN: The supposed right of a feudal lord to have sexual relations with a vassal's bride on her wedding night.

What a clueless wonder this Ted Rall must be?

Any President can abuse his power, President Bush can and should do all he can to eliminate any and all terrorist, and that includes ANYONE who chooses to becaome an Al-Qaeda member, U.S. Citizen or not.

Any American who joins Al-Qaeda or any other group, whose goal is our destruction, has lost, his or hers, citizenship and their constitutional rights, Just as any other traitor would lose thiers

[goldstategop]

LMAO! Rall thinks President Bush is another Bubba?? I think he took a left turn into the wrong White House kitchen sink when he wrote this drivel of a masterpiece! ;-)

[RobbyS]

FDR took out the quaterback, didn't he!

[MarkL]

Hey Ted, you'd better start hiding! Bush is coming after you first!

[hellinahandcart]

The only reason you're reading this right now--instead of meeting the Entity Formerly Known as God--is that neither Bush nor one of his "high-level officials" has yet signed a piece of paper declaring you an "enemy combatant." Once they do the paperwork, Administration officials assert, they have the right to murder you.

Hmmmm...okay, we're a pretty resourceful bunch here. Somebody's got to get me into the White House long enough to sneak a (cough)piece of paper(cough) into the stack o' stuff awaiting Bush's signature.

We don't have to stop with Ted Rall, but we should definitely start with him.

[BenLurkin]

Quite so. I was merely quoting the article to provide a narrow context for my response.

[Dan Day]

Yeahhhhhhhhh... where's the MEGA-BARF ALERT???

Ted Rall's name in the title is an automatic mega-barf alert.

[L.N. Smithee]

Rall doesn't like Gore either.

That's right. Rall likes Rall.

He is the perfect example of those who have made their living criticizing the war on terror, knowing that they can endlessly bitch and moan about what measures are taken by the government, while never suggesting what in the world should be done.

[swarthyguy]

Someone convince Ted to crack open a frostie in downtown Riyadh.

[Once-Ler]

The CIA (news - web sites) later discovered that an American citizen, Kamal Derwish, had inadvertently been killed in the inferno.

Gosh...this innocent guy probably didn't even know the reast of his car mates were "alleged Al Qaeda operatives."
That has got to suck.

[Once-Ler]

Since this sneaky directive makes exception neither for Americans nor American soil, these guys say, you and I have no more rights than the now-deceased, not-presumed-innocent Kamal Derwish.

Kamal was in an islamic country with known terrorists. It is likely he needed killing. If one of us is unfortunately near terrorists in the US when Bush desides to strike, I doubt Bush will need to use bombs to kill them. Hellfire missles create a lot of property damage

I think Rall believes Bush was actually hoping an innocent bystander would be killed in Yemen so he could test his exectutive order and indiscrimantely begin killing his political enemies, just before he declares marshall law and begins rounding up minorities, children, and gays, hearding them into concentration camps at Guantanamo, performing mind control experiments and Christian re-education on some and making lampshades with the others all with the support of the media who continue to talk about Iraq instead of how Bush is depriving us of our constitutional right to afordable healthcare insurance?

God I hope he is right.
I mean...ya know...for the sake of his glowing reputation....cough, cough.
This monkey with a typewriter didn't even get close to shakespeare.

The only reason I'm still alive is because of all the preservative I eat. MmmMsg.

[zarf]

This pussy pencil pusher claims this not a war?

Ask the men on the ground doing the dirty work.

One can only wishe a SF guy would give this turd a solid kick in the ass.
