Right, I blame Truman. And the Kennedy's. We know where old Daddy Joe's sentiments did lay.

Little known fact: Both Mary Jo Kopechne and Martha Moxley had Jewish heritage.

Yes. Unfortunately.


Relevancy? No war. No other purpose. Three oppressive commies conspired to deprive an innocent of his natural rights for no greater purpose than their own nefariousness.

No, I posited that without intervention there will be no peace. Ever. Others are suggesting that this conflict has a possible resolution.

It was pretty much everyone on both sides of the aisle, including Ike.

The relevancy is that you are all for the sanctity of children, except when you don't like their parents.

And do please drop the "oppressive commies" bullshit. It makes me picture you as Archie Bunker.

What do you do when the enemy is a civilian? Terrorists, insurgents, call them what you will, they don't wear uniforms.

These guys are ahead of us, because they know that the US (and Israeli) military are set up to fight other militaries. But they changed the rules. They don't wear uniforms, and no, they are not going to come out and fight like men. They are going to continue setting off roadside bombs and firing from mosques and using civilians as shields because - guess what - it works.

Now we have to adapt to that. We have to add a capability to wage war on a closer, more face to face level. We need to be fighting and winning hearts and minds wars, because just blowing people up on the off chance you'll hit an insurgent or Hezbollah is like using a hammer for brain surgery. And we have to do that while maintaining awareness of what distinguishes us from them.

We can start in Iraq by saying "Fuck the candy - we're handing out cheeseburgers and triple-chocolate milk shakes." Drop Shakira video collection DVDs from the air, and every kid under the age of 18 gets a Super Soaker. iPods for everyone. Drown 'em in American pop culture, and bring the troops home!

Shakira is Colombian (and is of Lebanese descent, oddly enough), but otherwise I'm with you 100%.

Some on this board apparently might prefer to drop Mimi Miyagi videos, but I'm concerned about the children.

I never loved Ike. Patton yes. McArthur yes. Ike, eh. Thank g-d Reagan purged him from the party.

Hmm perhaps. Generally I don't like children, other than my own (on whose birth certificates my name exists) and my biological issue with Hank's wife, but despite parentage I generally think children are innocent of transgressions whereby they deserve to be bombed. But of course, there are exceptions.

eta: and Elian's saintly, of course.


Sorry, it's redundant isn't it?

I liked All in the Family. I miss the innocence of my youth.

Weren't you the one who wanted an international/US force to go into N. Israel/S. Lebanon?

Hmm. If you mean me, wrong again. While I appreciate Mimi's art, anyone who follows my blogs and other presences on the World Wide Web are well aware of my long standing relationship with Shakira. FWIW, I was the original "shakira's boyfriend" sock.

Hips don't lie, indeed.

Shakira to Iraq; Gaza gets Britney.
 

Playing Kiss covers, beautiful and stoned.

Dude- your writing is so confused in even simple posts that I don't know whether you're Irish or Scottish- work on simple exposition before you try to stretch and convey complex thoughts like whatever you intend here- i mean WTF?
