BIG ONE to really know that we need to be fighting in Iraq...etc. I said how do you mean?

He said:

"We need another big attack just like 9/11 OR BIGGER! so these people can really understand that the war in Iraq is important, and they can stop talking about leaving."

I said, I hope your wish never comes true, because the last thing we need is more deaths and destruction to teach the 63% of us who oppose the war, that we need to commit more deaths and destruction.

He said yeah I hope it doesn't happen...

I felt like saying, get the fuck out of my house, but didn't.

Luckily, according to MapQuest.com, they live 3146.21 miles away from us - We see them once every other year or so.

1. Um...9/11 was not carried out by or for Iraqis !!!
Edited on Tue Dec-05-06 03:00 PM by CJCRANE
On edit: so if Saudi terrorists carry out another attack in America that justifies the war in Iraq? Does he realise how absurd that sounds?

7. I am telling you, this one issue I bring up is only a small part of it
I can cite many more examples of flat out craziness...Too many to list.

4. I'm very lucky
My mother in law (and father in law who died two years ago) are ass kicking democrats. My MIL doesn't talk politics with her other kids but my wife and I are on her wavelength. She did raise holy hell about reagan's funeral and pissed her other sons in law off royally. And would you believe my wife and I are the only two in her family who served in the military. My FIL was in the Army during WWII. He hit Omaha Beach on D-Day.

5. Clearly, the most important thing to him is to be...
RIGHT! Kind of like Bush. If more people die, that's ok if it proves him right.

6. Are his kids serving in Iraq?
If not, why?

Also, ask him why he supports terra as a "lesson to the Dems". Then ask if he thinks Bush should LIHOP again so we'll learn that lesson. When he says "Yes", then tell him to get the fuck out, "Sorry pal, but I don't want to harbor a terrorist in my house".

12. bush to LIHOP "AGAIN"
how true. He let 9-11 happen so he could be a rooting, tooting war president. Hell, those who will die volunteered for the job right.

9. You should have asked if it was ok for his family to die?
I mean, it would show he
s really serious about teaching us all a lesson.

I would have definitely have asked him to leave and cut ties.

No one who thinks like that is invited into my home.

11. Go to your happy place and hold your lip
Remember they are being fed b.s. 24/7 by "Pastors,"
Fox News, and other propaganda outlets.

Nothing you can do and or say will change their minds .....
they are part of the base who buy into the b.s. that
bush is keeping us safer and is a Christian. Billions
of dollars has gone into "selling them" this crap.



"A happy place for your mind"

14. "we need another big attack like 9/11 or bigger?" What a sick fuck.
And I'd have told him that to his face, and my marriage be damned.

Actually, my wife would have told him that, and if he argued with her, she probably would have chewed him up one side and down the other, and then asked him to leave.
Seriously.

Another reason I love that woman.
She realizes that the fate of the nation and the world is way bigger than any family relationship.

16. Really, then ask him why New York and DC did NOT vote for Bush?
After all, we had the Big One up close and personal. Which, I'm guessing, he never did.

21. Explain *this* to him...
Say this:

"If we have another attack like 9/11 (or worse), explain to me how the Republicans should be re-elected because only they can keep us safe. They controlled Congress since 1994 and the Executive since 2001. They failed miserably on 9/11. How can another attack benefit anybody?"

22. You should ask him why he hates America
Lessee, another major attack would prove Iraq is important in the war on terror? Wouldn't it prove that it's important only in that it creates more terrorism? What do these people use for brains? :crazy:
