I bet Bill Clinton abducted them.
June 21st, 2006 at 12:41 pmCome on — that happens ALL the time in Detroit and DC.
Iraq is under control, and we’re winning the war. The MSM is just whining again.
(Sorry. I just felt like doing some pre-emptive trolling. ;-> )

….but but but but
Zarqawi
June 21st, 2006 at 12:46 pmBush went to Iraq
Bush held “summit” at Camp David
Bush poll numbers UP 1 percent
Cheney said last throes was right because “We are making progress”
Damned biased liberal media, always reporting the bad news from Iraq! What about reporting all the workers who weren’t kidnapped! … you know, I bet someone on FOX will actually say that, and mean it seriously…
June 21st, 2006 at 12:47 pmWe need to get the hell out of there, we are only making this worse every day.
June 21st, 2006 at 12:50 pmHello! Bush must be on vacation and Cheney scouting up another no bid contract for bus’s. Does Hallaburton do bus’s.? Sarcasm off, maybe….
June 21st, 2006 at 12:56 pm#4 – I love that – “what about reporting all the workers who weren’t kidnapped!” – that sounds like something on the Colbert Report! :)
In a more serious note – sounds like more “last throes” to me… *sigh*
June 21st, 2006 at 12:59 pmCheney was RIGHT. The insurgency was in its last throes! The nation of Iraq is now in the first stages of a full on civil war.

June 21st, 2006 at 1:04 pm#64 MrTimPA:
Well, there are “last throes”…and then there are the “throes that last.”
Or could these be the “last, best” throes?
June 21st, 2006 at 1:04 pm#7 Did I say “#64″?
Wow. Sam Adams is KICK-ASS beer! Sorry.
June 21st, 2006 at 1:09 pmBut we’re winning the war on terror, right? Steelheart Dickhead says so.
June 21st, 2006 at 1:09 pmWe’re going to stay the course, right? Preznut Moron says so.
See how well it’s all working out? say the repugs.
Godalmighty–the hell just gets worse by the day.
Well, at least it’s safer than D.C. I mean, I can’t crack a paper without hearing how busloads of people were taken hostage in our nations capitol.
June 21st, 2006 at 1:13 pmIf elected I promise to send one person who voted for Bush to live in Iraq for every Iraqi civilian that is killed in this occupation and civil war. I know that a vast majority of these Bush voters have not enlisted to fight this war and they wouldn’t be much help since they have no guts to back up their talk, so I would only send them there to replace the civilian population. The only thing they would have to do is live there and survive the mess they have created.

June 21st, 2006 at 1:16 pm#9-#10 – haha – I think it’s more like the “throes that last”…. But, we have to “Stay the Course ™” and not “cut and run ™” because (as said before) “Democracy is on the March ™” and because “we have to fight them there so we don’t have to fight them here ™” … (enough talking points!)
Actually, it’s Clinton’s fault.
June 21st, 2006 at 1:16 pmYou mean someone actually works in Iraq? How can they, I thought a civil war was going on and everything is in a state of chaos? In all seriousiness folks, I hope the hostages are freed and unharmed, but I felt I needed to make the point.
June 21st, 2006 at 1:45 pmThis will end badly, no doubt. We must avoid further inflaming the Iraq Civil War that we instigated. Time to begin redeployment for our troops and UNEMPLOYMENT for every Republican in Congress!
June 21st, 2006 at 1:58 pmSee, capturing Zarqawi changed everything. Er, uh, yeah.
How long will it take the mainstream media to admit the relative insignificance of Zarqawi’s death?
June 21st, 2006 at 2:00 pmThey never will. They will just move on to the next republican talking point. That is what the “liberal media” does.
June 21st, 2006 at 2:28 pm#15 Nice try, but Civil War doesn’t mean people spend all day shooting at each other. I don’t rtecall everyone lquitting their jobs during OUR Civil War.
Iraq is a mess. Life is dangerous at worst, uncomfortable and anxious at best. Read Khalilzad’s memo to Condi Rice — even the Green Zone staff is falling aprt.
June 21st, 2006 at 3:17 pmAlert Hannity. We found the buses.
