Sen. James Inhofe: "The insurgents aren't Iraqis"
... "There is no civil war"

Inhofe said this right now on the Senate floor. He also stated that Bin Laden is one of the insurgents.

Additionally he is blaming Clinton.

:crazy:

1. That is impossible to believe.
He must not have much respect for his constituents.

2. don't forget the gays!
if we hadn't allowed gays in the St. Patricks parade the World Center would still be standing and all of this Iraq nonsense would never have happened.

I'm, like, practically sure of it.

Oh wait, did they allow gays in the St. Patricks parade? It must have been Irish peopl in the gay parade. Darn it. I always get them mixed up.

3. Ah ha! The Clenis was the one who took us to war in Eye-Rak.
And, of course, Chimpy had absolutely nothing to so with getting us into this terrible Mess-O-Potamia.

6. He is the stupidest man...

9. When he was a Representative, before being elected
Senator, the Congressional pages and took a vote and he was voted the stupidest Congressman.
He's stupid, but he's also a jerk.

8. Hey - it's on the official Rove White House talking points memo.
All Pub congressmen are required to read it before speaking on the floor - best understood while memorizing it in a rest room stall while taking a crap.

11. Inhofe, you pathetic moron...
Insurgents are by definition Iraqi. Granted, this complete ratfuck strains the English language to come up with words for all the unprecedented disasters, but foreigners are not insurgents. At best, they are mercenaries. Actually, most non-western foreigners fighting in Iraq were sent there for live-fire training, and thus should be referred to as apprentices, or some such shit.

Since when is stupid the chief requirement for office in federal government?

My god...

13. This old Washington Post article disagrees with Inhofe
The article says the estimate of foreign fighters in Iraq is only 4 to 10 percent of all guerrilla fighters in Iraq.

16. I had a discussion with a republican acquaintance of mine
He made the same "point" just the other day.

It's all 'bad apple' Syrians and jordanians and Iranians, don't you know.

18. Ask your friend this:
If a foreign military invaded your country and town and turned your home to a pile of rubble at the same time it killed your family at a checkpoint down the road because your family didn't understand the troops were trying to tell them to stop in a foreign language, what would you do? Pick up a gun and seek revenge through your tears of grief and rage?

25. By Imhofe's logic, if we were invaded and occupied....
Mexicans and Canadians would be the insurgents fighting the occupiers. :eyes:

19. It was a tough battle, but Inhofe is the stupidest senator
Probably going back to the unlamented Roman Hruska. Santorum is pretty stupid too, but not in Inhofe's league.

22. Precisely
If the insurgents aren't Iraqis, as Inhofe claims, then it was Bush's war that allowed untold numbers of terrorists into Iraq. Bush turned Iraq into a terrorist Disneyland.
