"We ain't been tacked sense nine leven now have we?"
So says inbred husband of co-worker (this past weekend at company holiday party) who claims the military occupation of Iraq, which he refers to as the centerpiece of "the war on terris" has made our country safer.

My response "I'd say the attack that happened on HIS watch was plenty, wouldn't you?"

I don't think I will be asked to attend the holiday party he is hosting at their house this weekend...

1. In the future, I'd add:
Then what do you consider the anthrax attacks?

8. Good point...he's also stated many times that ALL military support the "war" in Iraq...
Even Pat Tillman who really supported the war but was made into a scapegoat by the librul media who saw a chance to use a famous person against the pResident.

16. Your co-worker's husband is delusional.
And clearly not participating in the reality-based community like the rest of us.

2. No, we ain't... and by pure luck...
The world saw how vulnerable we are on that fateful day, and how intellectually challenged our leadership is. I would have thought that would have triggered... well, you know.

You wouldn't enjoy the Pabst Blue Ribbon and Jiffy Pop anyway.

3. Well I guess if you believe the story of 911 as has been given... But...
many of us out here don't for one minute believe that we were attacked by the people as the story (Fictitious) states.

4. No great loss. Who'd want to attend a party that serves BS as the main course.

7. Causation or coincidence...
I take a multivitamin pill every day and I've yet to have a cape buffalo break into my house. So the guy's logic is solid.

12. well if he really loves america which clearly he does not he'd walk it off and suit up.
and thats pretty much exactly what i'd say to him.

My neighbor used to ask me about my nephew in Iraq, her family was all rah rah over it so i asked her flat out "when is your able bodied son joining up?" son with the Bush sticker on his shit box "Oh Mike can do more at home" "No he's really needed in Iraq, lots of job openings everyday, the recruiting office in on Elk Grove blvd, need the directions?" and with tat she'd usually run back in her house.

15. Just mention the anthrax. October 2001 is AFTER September 2001 if I remember correctly.
Nevermind the anthrax actually came from an internal US source and so was never investigated and is one of millions of pieces of the puzzle.
