LTTE: Most Long Gone Bushbot of the Year Award?
http://www.cleveland.com/letters/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/opinion/113213712311790.xml&coll=2

And not surprisingly, out of Duh-HIGH-AH???

I applaud The Plain Dealer for its refreshing and positive story in Saturday's edition about citizens in Iraq. In many ways, their lives are better than they were under Saddam Hussein's evil reign.

We are bombarded daily by negative news about Iraq. Many encouraging developments are happening in this fledgling democracy that we should be informed of but often are not.

. . . . (oh yes. . . it gets better . . .) . . .

Those who constantly and relentlessly criticize, question and tear down our efforts are, in my opinion, close to treason. Whoever leaked the information on CIA detainment centers in foreign countries and the reporter who wrote the story, in my opinion, border on treason.

Only through unity and determination to fight terrorism will we succeed. We must never forget the pictures of our citizens jumping off of the Twin Towers in order to escape the unimaginable heat. We must never forget the images we've seen of innocent people being beheaded. We must never forget the carnage and suffering that these suicide bombers have wrought in Iraq and all over the world.

Let's stop all the bickering, which serves only to undermine our efforts, and with steely resolve work toward victory.

Novelty


"Novelty", I assume, is the name of her Duh-HIGH-Ah city. I . . . just . . . MAN.

OK, far be it from me to hit you with a stark sledgehammer of reality, stupid, but here's the problem I have with all of this.

My friend just returned from Iraq after a 7 month stay. His unit lost 20-some men in a period of 48 hours, mostly from roadside bombs/IEDs. I talked to him for 2 hours last week. Some of the wonderful and positive memories he has to keep with him for the rest of his life are:

* having to clean up the grisly aftermath of said IED that killed three of those men . . . with sandwich bags.
* witnessing multiple deaths of Iraqis and soldiers, some of whom were his friends he fought side-by-side with in this and the last tour.
* seeing a tank get toppled on its side due to explosives.
* being exposed to hostile fire and mortars nearly every day, including having sharp mortar shrapnel whiz inches from his head, embedding itself in a nearby wall.
* assisting to the wounded in medical. The shit he described in detail makes you sick.
* Dead children. Dead babies. EVERYwhere, every month.
* so many close calls, no amount of drugs will stop the nightmares he's going to have later on.

This is great news? This is the arena of democracy that people of your ilk consider an ideal?? FUCK OFF and smell the coffee, asshole. Real people are DYING because of your hero and the rich black-suited voevods orchestrating this carnage. But please, don't worry your beautiful apeshit-caked mind over this. Just go 'bout yer shopping, drool lobotomized in front of shitbags like Brian Kilmeade and Brit Hume and continue Super-gluing your lobotomy scar shut, so's not to let too mucha that there "truth" in.

I could send this bit of "negative news" to Alex Machaskee's right-championing rag, but the odds of him printing it are about as long as those of the Browns winning a Super Bowl in the next five years. Jesus CHRIST.

1. yee haw!
isn't it funny how fake borrowed sentiment tastes when you can actually talk about reality.

"we must never forget OUR CITIZENS" stupid twit -- and I personally have a hard time forgetting a father collapsed on the ground with his daughter clinging to him with both of their heads blown off by one of OUR sniper rounds.

They don't forget either toots. That's why we had no business invading a country for weapons of mass destruction and then staying there for shits and giggles anyway.

We don't belong there and we have killed dozens of times more Iraqi civilians than the Saudi hijackers killed of ours in the WTC.

2. This is like, the "octo-talking points" letter.
It's like they collect them and stick 'em in a coffee can. Then they belch them out in LTTEs in almost the same fashion a drunk uses to bust some "deep" magnetic poetry on his fridge.

5. That may be true, but I still hear and read the same ol' bullshit
regarding this war. "Fight 'em over there so we don't have to fight 'em here; Saddam was a brutal dictator and we freed the people of Iraq; The US is spreading democracy!"

There are still people that think that Saddam was responsible for 9/11!!

I guess as long as the ribbon on their car says "Support the Troops", they are doing all they can.

6. That's nothing. look at this moran's ltte...
Edited on Wed Nov-16-05 04:24 PM by corkhead
RIVES JUNCTION -- In regard to Tom's Oct. 24 letter, I suggest that he move to Iraq! Judging by his remarks against the best president we've had in a long time, that's where he belongs.

Let me guess: He voted for "Mr. Ketchup," a man who said whatever he thought they wanted to hear, only it was never the same answer twice.

I remind Tom what started this war. It was the devastation to the Twin Towers and thousands of innocent people dying because of Saddam and Osama bin Laden; and in the midst of this war, one of these men was captured. Thanks to a president who said we would not rest until this war is won.

President Bush is a humble man and could not be in the White House if he were ignorant. The people that the president has picked to surround himself with have morals, integrity and stand for right.

Why are the majority of Iraqis glad we are over there? Because they're experiencing freedom, something that we take for granted. We had to step in and defend our country when we were attacked. How did we know that there were no WMDs until we got over there? We can be very thankful we have a president who acted like a real man and fought back.

The men and women who decide to go into the armed forces know there is a real chance they could be killed in protecting their country. That is what they are trained for.

Whether you believe in a war or not, you should not talk against it. That brings down the morale of our country. Our president needs America praying for him. If you don't like it here, move to Iraq for a year and see how you feel about our president then. Shut up or get out!

7. Point-a-palooza!
Or

Point-a-per-loser.

These two should get together and go bowling with the rest of the droids.

And saluting a velvet portrait of Fuhrer Bush.
