You are evidently insane, LaCourse.

At least you've given up explicitly defending this godawful ****ed up war.

Hardly. If Barnard is concerned about children then he should put his
money where his mouth is. HE should make it possible for a couple of
kids to have insurance. We all know he has the money, so why not
spend some of it on a worthy cause instead of bitchin and moanin about
it. His trip to Bali would buy a helluva lot of insurance for a
couple of kids. What he is now employing is called the "Kerry
Option." With an income of more than $300,000 back in the 90s, Kerry
chose to give a whopping $300 to charity, and then turns around and
wants to raise taxes "for the children." He won't spend his money but
sure as hell wants to spend ours.

First of all, I figure that my federal taxes last year, if devoted
solely to military spending, would pay for three minutes and 42 seconds
of the war. I'd rather it not be spent that way.

Secondly, you have no idea what charities I donate to or how much, and
I'm not telling.

Third, my Bali trip is costing me approximately nothing. The airfare
comes from a rewards program and I'm staying with friends.

Fourth, and once again, I'm gratified to see that even you, ROFF's own
bathtub general, has given up on defending this horrible, botched,
deceptive strategic blunder.

But not as sad as one who is so totally consumed by monetary measurement, eh?

Not to mention how utterly tragic are the ****wits that voted for the nitwits
that made this all happen...

LaCourse if offering up the Republican/NeoCon talking point of the day:
The Democrats have no ideas, and all they can do is bitch and moan.

Dave apparently got the memo.

So here we are in Iraq, over 2000 US servicemen dead, ten times as many
wounded, many grievously, the insurgency picking up steam, after mistake
after mistake: the cooked intelligence, the rush to war, allowing
looting, disbanding the Iraqi army and sending them off unpaid with
their weapons, massive graft and corruption, and torture, for God's
sake. Torture! After this shameful, incompetent, deceitful, ruinous
performance, these ****wits have the gall to ask, "What's your solution?"

The only ray of hope is that, according to the polls, the public is no
longer swallowing this bull****.

I think the tide has turned on this debacle, at last, with the public
myopia. As I have stated elsewhere, the people responsible for dragging us
to war in Iraq, in a fair and just world, should be strung up by their
testicles and left to dangle from lampposts down Pennsylvania Avenue, so as
to serve as a warning to others who would "lead" us in such a fashion. Those
that supported, and still do support them, so vigorously will simply reap
the scorn and disgust of their children and grandchildren, who will no doubt
be paying for this folly. No worse fate could be imagined......

Consumed by monetary measurement? Hmmmm. Explain yourself, please.

No, I am offering you the chance to do some good in this world; give
of yourself and your treasures and help a kid or two instead of
relying on the government to do it. It was the same thing during
Katrina. No one offered up advice, or their time/treasure/talents,
they simply bitched about how GWB ****ed it all up.

Dave apparently got the memo.

I got no memo and have no idea what you are refering to.

We are at war, and Iraq is simply a battle. There will be more
battles, and I hope and pray they do not occur on U.S. soil.

The only ray of hope is that, according to the polls, the public is no
longer swallowing this bull****.

And, what exactly does that have to do with you helping two children?
Do it, Barnard, and stop your complaining. For once in your life, do
something good.

At that included you, Tatosian.

Dave

Ah, but I haven't. I see Iraq simply as a battlefield in an all out
war on terrorism. THEY aren't going away if we simply retreat from
Iraq. On the contrary, I believe it will encourage them because they
have defeated (once again) the big paper tiger called the U.S. of A.

Thanks for the promotion, btw.

And, don't forget that YOU can do something about some kids' medical
expenses. YOU!
