elecshuns!!!

(Pardon the source; for another board I try to use such moran sources when I can so the morans have to STFU about their "librul media")


Bomb Kills Eight Iraqi Police in Tikrit

In another attack targeting Iraqi security forces, a homicide car bomb destroyed a police minibus at a checkpoint...

The attack was part of a surge of violence that has killed at least 255 people -- many of them Iraqi soldiers and police -- since Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari announced his new government April 28, with seven Cabinet positions still undecided.

Imagine how bad it REALLY is when even The Faux Moos report bad shit.

3. Ehhhhhh...sort of. But you need big puddles of blood flowing into the

gutters, and people lying on the ground, some dead and some screaming in agony as they die.

To REALLY get the look of demoncracy right (didya catch that one?) add 2 or 3 US troops lying motionless face-down on the ground, their helmuts rolled slightly away from their bodies, a hand stretched out and palm upturned. Best is when a wedding band can be seen.

The poignancy of the look really brings home how wonderful the spreading of demoncracy is.

Edit: Did I mention a just-orphaned crying child? The finishing touch.

2. It's getting worse, but our government won't tell you this. The same
thing happened in Vietnam. We dropped more bombs on Vietnam than all the bombs in WW2 and still lost. When you invade a country, people fight back. We would do the same thing here. The only way we could call Iraq a victory would be to drop the big bomb and kill everybody. It's sick, but I've heard freepers who really want to do that..

7. That's gotta be one of THE STUPIDEST chants in human history.
Only rightwingnuts could possibly be so stupid as to A)come up with it, and B)chant it.

And they never bother to think with whatever particle of brain they may have;

Hmmmm...WHY would any IRAQI want to come to the US and attack us???

Hmmmm...WHY would we make them WANT to come here and attack us, by attacking them first when they'd not been doing anything but minding their own business???

And of course the big one;

Hmmmm...if they wanted to attack us here, couldn't they still simply come here and attack us anyways???

Especially now that so many of our cops and border patrol and soldiers are Iraqmired and our ports and borders are less secure than ever...

Hmmmm isn't it even easier than ever now for "them" from Iraq and from around the globe to come here and attack us now that we're over there???

:eyes:

There's a reason rightwingnuts are called the stupidest MFers on the planet.

10. Yikes.
There's a grammar error in the title. I hate when I do that.

Yep, you point out the ultimate silliness. Fighting over there does NOT protect us over here at all. I just like to sometimes repeat "stupid Republican tricks." (Apologies to Dave.)

11. Makes us LESS safe, but rightwingnuts and their "party uber alles" crap
means they'll see us all killed, left and right, rather than face the fact their bush-god is an incompetent idiot.

16. I think you are confusing Iraq with Saudi Arabia
Iraq has never been a threat to the US except when we send our troops over there to fuck with them. It sounds like you bought into GWB's propaganda or you are just flame baiting.

18. Or using sarcasm.
Sarcasm was invented in New York City in 1938.

Sorry I hate using the :sarcasm:
