Should we invade Puerto Rico?
Jobless claims surge, Puerto Rico blamed
But jump to 367,000 is blamed mostly on government shut down in Puerto Rico

They are clearly undermining George W. Bush's fearless leadership of the economy. Look you can see for yourself.

It is a island just sitting there. It would be a great staging area for an assault on other valuable island territory like the island of Haiti or the Dominican Republic island (good at baseball). PLUS we have to make sure that it, Puerto Rico, isn't taken over by the Cubans.



Those of us who have studied history remember the island hopping that Empirial Japan undertook before WWII, the same could happen here.

And lets not turn a blind eye to where Katrina DIDN'T hit ;-) ifyouknowwhatI'msaying-andIthinkyoudo ;-)

1. Yes!
And a year from now, I'll be very surprised if there is not some grand square in San Juan that is named after President Bush.

3. absofreakinglutely
It's only been, what, a couple years since we flexed our muscle in the Caribbean. If we don't do it again, the natives will think we've gone soft.

Today Puerto Rico, tomorrow Turks & Caicos!!!!

4. PR is too close to Cuba to be trusted
I also don't trust Canada. 90% of it's population is massed along our borders. Tell me that's not suspicious!

6. And the Mexicans are Invading!
I heard on Hannity that they have nearly 30 million of their shock troops already hidden in our own country!

To ARMS! DEATH TO CANADA! DEATH TO MEXICO! DEATH TO PUERTO RICO!

Wow...people actually think that way don't they? How scary is that?
