ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??????

We won some new ground?

We will have been there TEN FUCKING YEARS this coming Saturday.

TEN FUCKING YEARS, and the news is we took some dusty piece of ground? Who is the news consumer who sees this as good news?

We conquered two enemies on two fronts in WWII. The last time we were someplace for ten years we got our asses handed to us.

Does anyone REMEMBER this:



Republicans AND Democrats own this shit war.

Quite the accomplishment, no doubt well worth the blood and treasure.

4. When the fuck are the powers that be, going to say enough is enough in this
back assward country? What the hell is there to win there anyway? If it is for the drugs, we are certainly getting short changed with the lives that are being given up for them.
