Senator Kerry

I think the killing of masses far out weighs the good things that they did for their country.

Replying to Senator Kerry

"Senator Kerry and his war medals" is the topic...

I think he is entitled to do whatever he pleases with those medals. Eat them, hang them or flush them down the toilet. He's earned them.

One thing nobody can take away from him is that he has been 'war tested' unlike others; say Bush or Clinton (to name not one party).

I will not presume to guess who will win the next election, but may the best man win.

Well Clocker I guess this is another one of those instances where it depends which side of the fence you sit on. I think the same way of CNN's coverage as you do of FOX's. But the majority of the American viewers tend to agree with me on this one because FOX beats out CNN all time in the Neilson ratings. And with that I'm off to watch The Factor

Glick: So what about George Bush?

O'Reilly: What about George Bush? He had nothing to do with it.

Glick: The director -- senior as director of the CIA.

O'Reilly: He had nothing to do with it.

Glick: So the people that trained a hundred thousand Mujahadeen who were...

O'Reilly: Man, I hope your mom isn't watching this.

Glick: Well, I hope she is.

O'Reilly: I hope your mother is not watching this because you -- that's it. I'm not going to say anymore.

Glick: OK.

O'Reilly: In respect for your father...

Glick: On September 14, do you want to know what I'm doing?

O'Reilly: Shut up. Shut up.

....

O'Reilly: Cut his mic.

mmm, yeah. nothing like seeing a bully tear someone a new asshole just for daring to disagree with his psychotic, extremist views.

Ah, the difference then is; its OK to kill thousands and not do anything good for your country... as long as the thousands arent your own citizens.

I think I understand you now....

I find it humorous that, when Clinton ran for President, the Republicans made a HUGE issue out of the fact that he wasn't a veteran, and now we have two guys who either didn't serve at all ( Cheney, who had "other things to do"), or performed the absolute minimum of service ( Bush, who was apparently AWOL most of the time) ragging on a fellow who did serve with distinction ( THAT at least, is not in question).

Typically, we are now witnessing a bait and switch maneuver, where Kerry's disposition of his medals is being used to distract us from the horrendous prosecution of Bush's holy war.
From the stupifyingly arrogant "Mission Accomplished" fiasco ( that flight suit should be preserved right along with Monica's dress), to the dogged insistence that we will hand over control of Iraq on June 30th ( to whom, I wonder?), the latter half of the Bush Presidency has been one unmitigated disaster after another, so Kerry's medals are a great distraction for an administration that has very little ( if anything) to crow about.

The people who were killed in Germany and Russia were civilians. Millions of them were killed just for their religious beliefs. That&#39;s millions with a M.

The people that the coalition have killed while at war in Iraq are military targets. We&#39;re not just lining them up and slaughtering them just for the hell of it. These people are legitimist military targets and we kill them before they kill us. And I know that there are some civilian casualties and the coalition is trying their best to keep this at a minimum.

Maybe you should look up how many Iraqi civiians died because of the US/Uk block on medical supplies in the last decade...

Things like syringes were blocked because they were "dual use"...

I can just picture the Iraqi army attacking the world with their siringes in their hands, ready to inject everyone that comes against them...


You cant say i was being anti-republican etc there... we both had Governments of a different colour for a lot of that time

And that was bush&#39;s story to start with

[Rat Faced]

I have a liberal idea.

All serving members of a Government have their kids Drafted in times of war, and made to serve in Combat units in the theatre.


Its unfair on the kids, to be sure, however we can then all know that when they go to war it is actually necessary, and the politicians are actually taking some sort of risk themselves...


Thought id copy this post from another site; im sure we can all see the humour of it

Ah, good ole Monroe.

The very epitome of the "informed American electorate".
Bill O&#39;Reilly would be so proud.
