6. Indeed.
I will not vote for Obama again. Nobody I know is going to vote for him again.

I always vote for Dennis in the primary. Next time I'm going to write him in for the general.

Fuck this bullshit! :mad:

8. When Gates starts quoting MacArthur on war in Asia
Edited on Sun Mar-06-11 07:05 PM by soryang
You know it's a total failure. The quote in his West Point speech, the one that anyone who considers committing US ground forces to Asia needs to have his head examined, was resurrected by James Douglas in JFK and the Unspeakable. Now if Obomber would read that book maybe he'd wake the F up!

Gee, why didn't he tell the president he needs to have his head examined? Wait a minute, I think he just did.

9. "American soldiers....10,000 wounded."
Had one of those in the doc's office where I work on Friday. Thirty three year-old combat vet from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, suffering from excruciating headaches from being wounded in the head and other physical traumas that are permanent, and the ever present PTSDs. Really a sweet guy, but now very dependent on his wife to help him think. His life essentially has been ruined for a government that has been compromised for corporate profit. He's not the only one. They are starting to trickle in, women too, who have been wounded because the VA can only do so much for them. I doubt if we can help much either. These are lives ruined that didn't have to be.
