3. considering they've held the U.S. Military at bay for several months now.. |
|
...without Tanks, Jets, missles etc.....I think he picked the wrong word to describe them. Minimally, I'd have said they were determined and very clever - but not cowards.

come out and stand face to face with an M1A1 Tank. I guess this guy was raised on John Wayne and took it to heart.

7. With front line soldiers |

With front line soldiers like this and generals who are guided by God and think they are fighting Satan make it very difficult to support the troops.

9. I was listening to that today also |
|
I'm not sure it was the same guy, but he pronounced "caches"
Ka-shays
The word is cache -- Pronunciation Key (kash) 1. A hiding place used especially for storing provisions. 2. A place for concealment and safekeeping, as of valuables. 3. A store of goods or valuables concealed in a hiding place: maintained a cache of food in case of emergencies.
Uh . . . ca·chet -- Pronunciation Key (ka-shay)
1. A mark or quality, as of distinction, individuality, or authenticity: “Federal courts have a certain cachet which state courts lack” (Christian Science Monitor). 2. A seal on a document, such as a letter. 3. A commemorative design stamped on an envelope to mark a postal or philatelic event. 4. A motto forming part of a postal cancellation. 5. A kind of wafer capsule formerly used by pharmacists for presenting an unpleasant-tasting drug.
Sorry to be picky, but it just sounded so stoopid.
