I never ever come here, but for once I felt compelled to post on a political topic because I just feel that what we did to that al-Zarqawi guy is fucked up. I'm not saying he was a model world citizen or anything, but this was just an out-and-out assassination, which is 1) against the Geneva Convention, and 2) contrary to the moral code of any civilized society. Where do we get off? Seriously. Anyhoo, just my two cents. YMMV. Thanks for playing.

This is nothing new. Admiral Yamamoto, 1943. Anyway, I won't cry for him, but it seems a bit unseemly for the president to be boasting about it on live tv this morning. And will it change things much in Iraq? I hope so, but things didn't seem to get better after Saddam was pulled out of his hole.

I often question whether the board really needs the Hank chinaski sock- ultimately, and if only to set a low bar, I feel I am useful. but the question of how many tribute socks I should attract is a legitimate point of debate. this new SS sock is valuable, certainly- he's breathing new life into a somewhat tired franchise, but perhaps we should turn down future requests for new Hank tribute socks? just my 2 bits!

QED.

If I were capable of feeling emotions about you, I would weep for the banality of your existence. I mean you in an ambiguous sense, as it pertains to potential plurality.

Upright people like Ty have been calling for killing Zarqawi for years now, so maybe it's okay.

Too bad the government passed up the chance to kill him in 2002, but they needed him then to make the case for war.

Yeah, we can kill whomever we want. Because we're the fucking U S of A. We make the judgments about who is bad enough to die, and who may live. At least we have leaders like Bush and Clinton, with firm and unwavering moral compasses, leading us in this decisionmaking process. Because it is a serious business, being God and all. I wiped my ass with the Geneva convention today after a particularly runny shit. Not even good for that.

Of all the posters here, you should worry about the death tax most of all...

Dear Ty:

Can the Dems pull it together enough in the next 2 years to win a few houses and assure us of [necessary] financial gridlock again [like those salad, Clinton years], or are those assholes going to put up an unelectable [see Mondale/Dukakis/Gore/Kerry/Clintine] person yet again?

See Bob, this is why you just post here but they gave Ty the keys. Not Bob, Super Mod sez: Actually, Hank, I have keys here, too.

You cannot say "killing Zarqawi probably won't help." Because, you still have to be able to say "invading Iraq moved the troops we would have had in Afghanistan, and we otherwise would have killed Osama."

Your way the shell game falls down. If killing a leader doesn't mean much, you can't get on W for the Osama is still alive thing.

Better to go with Ty's "Zarqawi should have been killed 4 years ago." If someone points out that Osama was offered up to us by Sudan 10 years ago, but Clinton had a boner that day, so he couldn't act on THAT offer, well sit back and let Ty get some blogs-answers going.

edited by Not Bob because he can.

That's an excellent question. Although it's hard to call Gore unelectable when he won the popular vote and would have won Florida if, e.g., Palm Beach voters had been able to figure out the ballot.

8 years ago- and he also needed to have CBS tell the panhandle not to bother voting. Today he'd maybe not do so well? rambling insane rants tend to drive away the swing vote. Gore has shown everyone just how lucky we were.

Sorry, but is today's reason for the war in Iraq that we were going in to get Zarkawi, like the reason for invading Afghanistan was to get Osama? Does this mean the Mission has been Accomplished? I'm just trying to keep up so I can celebrate when we win.

when the FBI kicks in your front door, and you feel the jack boot on your neck and the cuffs locking on your wrists- that's when I call victory. Like you guys did with Elian.
