that's "tar heels", big orange...

Which makes my decision not to make a football bet with the
boy lawyer this year seem downright prescient. I already owe
him two bottles of booze and dinner for two while dressed in
a powder blue outfit so I'd appreciate your not rubbing it in,
thank you very much.

you can't imagine how i regret not being able to get to the smokies
when you were here, earlier.

but when the time comes, it will be worth the wait.

OK. Let's say, arguendo, that you're the arbiter who is a ****wit or
not, and it's all up to you and only you. Just what is YOUR solution
and why?

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,

Um, it seems that would ultimately be all of Congress and the Executive
branch, or at least a good bit of the upper echelon...of course, that
does leave their employers to deal with, and that's gonna require quite
a few lampposts and a lot more Pennsylvania Avenue. Maybe they could
sneak the funding onto a environmental bill or something.

....ask not for whom the lamppost calls, it calls for thee...or at least
a couple of thee's, er, buddies...

Ya know, you may have something there. There's a real 800-lb gorilla
here, so let's not get our priorities out of sync. Let's all pull
together. What we need is a focus group to examine the paradigms, run
things up the flagpole, a real brainstorming session. But we all need
to work together because many hands make light work and you can make a
difference because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Let's
not put off until tomorrow what can be done today - it'll be easy as
pie. After all, build a better mousetrap, and the world will be a path
to your door. The check's in the mail. If you don't stand for
something, you'll fall and not be able to get up. CLAP ON! CLAP OFF!
THE CLAPPER!

Let's say, arguendo, that his solution is equivalent to your contributions
to this this thread, this newsgroup, this life, and this planet, thus far.
So, yeah, you've got a point there.

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

It's a joke. Of course you don't get it. Duh!

Solution: Immediately begin the withdrawal of our troops with all
practical speed, as Rep. Murtha suggests.

But apparently, Murtha was not so for it as to vote for it - 403-3 (with
the 3 voting for withdrawal being Jose Serrano of New York, Robert
Wexler of Florida and Cynthia McKinney of Georgia). From what I've
heard, Murtha's "plan" was a scripted political stunt (as, of course,
was the vote). But stunts or not, it does make one wonder why Murtha
didn't vote in favor of the very thing he demanded and moreover, why it
should require thoughtful and studious debate.

And by the way, why doesn't the opinions of those with military records
on general par to Murtha's, but who openly continue to favor the war, or
at least oppose withdrawal, count in your mind?

Why: Because our troop presence in Iraq is making things worse, not better.

Well, as long as it's THAT simple, I say let's go for it!

I think the responsible parties for leading the whole sorry parade could be
limited to a dozen or two, if lampposts were in short supply. No need for
excess pork in the budgetg

p.s. Note that I did state the caveat, "in a fair and just world", for
the record, assuming neither to be the case, in reality......

well, after his proposal(which entails several other steps after a
withdrawal,with troops in Kuwait, etc) was *******ized into a blanket
statement along the lines of "Leave Now", with nothing added, I wouldn't
imagine he would be for it. Face it,
that vote was nothing but BS politics, I don't care what side of the aisle
you see it from......as Tom Osborne put it(he is a Repub, right?)
"We can do better than this". That whole last couple days of the
Congressional session cemented the reasons why most of the public ranks
those bozos behind the bozos at the White House. Kind of like the old
Firesign Theater:"We're ALL Bozos on this Bus". Hmmm,
kind of applies to ROFF, as wellg
