ah. a “promotion” of sorts.
January 5th, 2007 at 3:08 pmYou mean head of the “Big Green Dick” known as the Army?
(I was told by a career Army guy, that’s what the drill seargents used to call it, for real)
January 5th, 2007 at 3:08 pmSomething amiss here?
January 5th, 2007 at 3:10 pmIs this a current video clip, like I mean today?
Who’s the dude standing next to Casey, I forget……………?
I am assuming TP and the Dems are very happy about this. Casey is the head man in charge of a war you believe is a failure. Most of the blame goes to the general in charge of the war. Who is your pick for the next person to be in charge of the war?
January 5th, 2007 at 3:11 pmroger_roger,
if you were a hot dog, and you were starving… would you eat yourself?
think about it
January 5th, 2007 at 3:16 pmThat would be you Roger.
I pick you to be the next General in charge of the war.

Is this any way to run an army?
January 5th, 2007 at 3:17 pmIs that why Rumpsfelt is in the picture?
January 5th, 2007 at 3:18 pmIs he the next to be in charge of the war?
I’m so confused………………
Roger-Roger Dear,..Is that a trick question.?…LOL..Guess I missed the trick, but we have been screwed, by bull shit bush who is in charge and at fault for all the failing’s and death’s of the Iraq war. He after all started this mess…..Time for the investigation’s, Impeachment’s and seizing all assets….No more bush war’s…..Blessings
January 5th, 2007 at 3:21 pmBush is appointing “yes” men. He wants to stay in Iraq untill he is out in ‘08 for political reasons. Sounds stupid- read ” Fiasco”. Politics was evident in a lot of his military decisions.
Let’ have hearings and impeach the worst president in our history.

Thanks for putting me in Charge. You guys and gals will be pissed at what I do to be sure. I am going to demand victory and obedience from the Iraqi people or we salt the land, take all weapons away, and pump the oil for ourselves. They get a choice under me. There either A) play nice, get there democracy, and get fithy rich as a country or B) Become a stone age tribal community that has no say or control over the lands natural resources.
It is simple really. They either act like adults or children. I can work with either!
January 5th, 2007 at 3:44 pmGo for it Roger,
Tell me how it all works for ya.
January 5th, 2007 at 3:52 pmHey, R2 is in charge of the Army!!!
(Glad I joined the Marines)
January 5th, 2007 at 3:54 pmIt’s always simple for guys like you, RogerX2.
January 5th, 2007 at 3:55 pmRoger_Roger sez:
Wow…how very Saddam-esque of you.
Tell me…why did we overthrow him again?
January 5th, 2007 at 3:58 pmBuy stock in kleenex and lotion, the Pentagon’s gonna be putting in an enormous order…
January 5th, 2007 at 4:15 pmroger-roger: Just remember who gives all the battle droids their orders…..
January 5th, 2007 at 4:24 pm#15 We overthrew him because he was in charge of resources we needed. We kill him and now all the booty of Iraq is ours. Wasn’t that obvious to everyone?
January 5th, 2007 at 4:27 pm…painfully obvious….
January 5th, 2007 at 4:33 pm…..fatally obvious…..
…. disastrously obvious………
Rogerx2,
You are sick. You have finally shown your true colors.
You are not a good Christian.
January 5th, 2007 at 4:49 pmLOL…..Pot’s calling kettle’s black……ROTFLMAO……..Watching the reich winger’s post’s are getting more fun with each comment…Blessings

Gunmen force Guard troops to flee post near border
Associated Press
Jan. 5, 2007 05:57 AM
TUCSON – National Guard troops working at an observatory post near the Mexican border were forced to flee after being approached by a group of armed individuals, authorities said.
The event occurred about 11 p.m. Wednesday at one of the National Guard entrance identification team posts near Sasabe, said National Guard Sgt. Edward Balaban.
He said the troops withdrew safely, no shots were fired and no one suffered injuries.
U.S. Border Patrol officials are investigating the incident and trying to determine who the armed people were, what they were doing and why they approached the post before retreating to Mexico.
The incident occurred in the west desert corridor between Nogales and Lukeville in the vicinity of Sasabe, Balaban said.
“We don’t know exactly how many because obviously it took place in the dark,” Balaban said. “Nobody was able to get an accurate count.”

You’ve been watching way too much Fox News (any would be too much). What a brainwashed goof you are. Try reading one of the dozens of books that have been written about this mess…start with “Fiasco.” It’s the perfect name. Oh yeah, and GW is “Commander in Chief” and “in charge of the war.”
January 5th, 2007 at 6:53 pmkaty, if we have a choice should we nuke mexico or roger_regor?
Comment by RUCerious — January 5, 2007 @ 6:51 pm
no nukes.
never been to mexico… nothing against it…
January 5th, 2007 at 7:49 pmbut i know i won’t miss roger… just, no nukes…
Casey has no “Honor”. Hey Casey take the “shut up post”.
January 6th, 2007 at 9:29 amThis thread would be “amusing’ ” if it were not concerned with the continuing deterioration of our “boots on the ground” and the degradation of our military in general…and all for the edification of the “C-Minus Frat Brat” in the STOLEN WHITE HOUSE!
January 6th, 2007 at 12:34 pmActually, I believe Mr. Rogerx2 was attempting to be sarcastic with the salting of the earth thing. Lighten up people, hate only makes you more like the people we are trying to stop.
And just for the record, being a good Christian has nothing to do with it. The second we make this a fundamentalist religous war on both sides, we lose. I will proudly be “not a good Christian” if it means I don’t have to blindly follow in the footsteps of those that went before me and get to continue to think for myself.
America is not about being Christian, it’s about the freedom to be one. And if we can’t see that, as a country, we’ll never “win” this war.
