So how do you feel about war with Russia???????
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D934QEDG0&show_article=1




FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin left open the option Thursday of waging war with Russia if it were to invade neighboring Georgia and the former Soviet republic were a NATO ally. "We will not repeat a Cold War," Palin said in her first television interview since becoming Republican John McCain's vice presidential running mate two weeks ago.

Palin told Charles Gibson of ABC News that she'd favor including Georgia and Ukraine, both former Soviet republics, in NATO despite opposition by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. Asked whether the United States would have to go to war with Russia if it invaded Georgia, and the country was part of NATO, Palin said: "Perhaps so."

yeah

I am sleeping real tight at night.....

1. The US hasn't battled a real military since the NVA+Viet Cong.
And we lost. Before that Korea - a un-before heard of tie.

So basically the last real military we defeated was Germany in WWII and the USSR had a BIG hand in that.

So basically what I'm saying is that we'd better think twice.

34. "Korea-- a un-before heard of tie"
Kind of like the War of 1812, eh?

38. I was thinking more about the 20th Century and modern warfare.
And yes 1812's outcome was essentially (not interested in nitpicking details of Ghent) a tie. But it remains that WWI was the last "major" win over a modern military power.

Ike warned us about the Military Industrial Complex, but I never thought they'd go THIS far to achieve their aims!

10. We offshore jobs to them; even sold them a steel mfg company
http://www.domain-b.com/industry/Steel/20080906_russian_steelmaker.html

They cannot be our enemies. They just want to make a profit from US companies and its government while we rebuild our rotting infrastructure.

11. Well I'm for including them in NATO
which would hopefully preclude a war

but I hope that many diplomatic means would be exhausted before that little misstep would take place

Palin is evil!

14. Well, I reckon this is it
Well, boys, I reckon this is it - nuclear combat toe to toe with the Roosskies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at making speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is going on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinking. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human beings if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelings about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a counting on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump. We got some flying to do.

26. Stupid, full of shit and fucking nuts!
George Carlin's trifecta of insanity...

Did you ever notice how many really stupid people you run into during the day? God damn there are a lot of stupid bastards walking around. Carry a little pad and pencil with you. You'll wind up with thirty or forty names by the end of the day. Look at it this way. Think of how stupid the average person is and then realize that half of them are stupider than that! It doesn't take you very long to spot one of them does it? Take you about eight seconds. You'll be listening to some guy... you say ... "This guy is fucking stupid!" Then there are some people. They're not stupid. They're full of shit! Doesn't take very long to spot either, does it? Take you about the same amount of time. You'll be listening to some guy..and saying, "Well, he's fairly intelligent... Ahh! He's full of shit!" Then there are some people. They're not stupid, they're not full of shit. They're fucking nuts! Dan Quayle is all three! All three! Stupid, full of shit, and fucking nuts!
(George Carlin, Parental Advisory - Explicit Lyrics)

24. Those who want to control everything need an excuse to do so.
Ye Olde Colde War is a fine excuse.

It also reveals them for what they are, for all to see, and hopefully, reject.

Hopefully.

Uhm. He was myt FUCKING senator for 16 years. I'm still fucking pissed at what he has become.

As a PSA, I voted ONCE for a Repub in 1988 (Lowell Weicker, who later ran for governor as an independent AND won) against LIEberman.

The only time i voted for one, unless you include LIEberman in 2000 (for teh Senate).

Sorry, but this is a very sore subject for me.

:hi:
