		<description>Earth to McCain: Al Qaeda and Osama are in AFGANISTAN.

We are in a civil war, we /will/ /not/ /win/.

We will die.  We will lose.  We will lose for the biggest and deadliest lie in American history.  More bloodshed and more lives will be taken if we continue to delude ourselves into believing the lie.</description>

		<description>I think I too have had the last straw with McCain. Waving a white flag to Al Queda ?  Wow. The Republican party and this administration will be haunted by the failures of the past 4 years for generations to come if this country survives. Bin Laden is not dead, to my continued amazement. Recall &quot;Wanted, Dead or Alive&quot;. That along with a dozen or so other beauties will hang on in infamy forever for their obvious bologna filler content. This adminstration with its now surreal commander in Chief and its wacky coolaid swigging minions will go down as the worst military losers in this country&#039;s history. I do not doubt the Senator&#039;s patriotism, and sir you upheld those ideals when you were a prisoner but ironically you have been swept up in the same wagon full of deception that brought us disaster in Vietnam. We are not going to win this war by breaking the backs of the poor and middle class in this country, racking up insane amounts of debt, gutting other parts of our government, wrecking the integrity of several agencies - FEMA, Justice, State, Food and Drug (CHINESE FOOD IMPORTS WILL CAUSE A SPIKE IN CANCER RATES OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS) and now, apparently Border Patrol. We are not going to win this war by &quot;outspending&quot; them, because old dear Senator, &quot;them&quot; is us. Them is us when we send billions and billions and billions each year to the middle east in the form of oil revenue. Them is us when we fuel an insane overarmed world with arms flows. Them is us when we push the Russians back to thougths if an arms race via our ruderless foreign strategy. We are a flailing drunken giant ogre on this lifeboat earth that truly cannot last the night afloat. So, when you spout off on that only spending $220 billion versus $290 billion on an insane effort to battle ourselves, who the hell is left to call it like it is - we are the only ones left in the boat. Them is us Senator and that is why you cannot look yourself in the mirror anymore.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Did the Iraq bill include more agressive benchmarks in capturing Bin-Laden/dismantling Al-Qaeda?&lt;/em&gt;

I don&#039;t know.  Do YOU?

&lt;strong&gt;More importantly, did Bush REQUEST the funds?&lt;/strong&gt;

We ARE spending $1 BILLION per month outsourcing the Bin Laden task to Pakistan, who harbors terrorists and Bin Laden right now.

Well???</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t you trolls EVER get tired of walking into a battle of wits unarmed?

Why would they hate you? By cutting and running from the battlefield, you are achieving their goals.

Comment by m12 â€” May 25, 2007 @ 2:59 pm

By your own logic then, they LOVE W, for giving them a complete free pass so he could instead stupidly invade and occupy Iraq

No way around it trolls, the Same President Jr that decrys al-Qaeda, the Taliban and Usama bin Laden is the same President Jr that cut &amp; run from finishing them off in Afghanistan when they were dazed, reeling and almost wiped out

No way to spin that in any way positive for W, not if using logic, reality or common sense

And if you can show where those groups say &quot;Thank you US Libs, for loving us while hating those in the US just like us&quot;, please do share

I know it hurts so bad that your glorious leader let the terrorists off the hook, so it&#039;s okay to cry, really it is</description>

		<description>Go McCain!

&quot;While Senator Obama&#039;s two years in the U.S. Senate certainly entitle him to vote against funding our troops, my service and experience combined with conversations with military leaders on the ground in Iraq lead me to believe that we must give this new strategy a chance to succeed because the consequences of failure would be catastrophic to our nation&#039;s security.&quot;

&quot;By the way, Senator Obama, it&#039;s a &#039;flak&#039; jacket, not a &#039;flack&#039; jacket.&quot;

Which is to say, &quot;there is only one of us in this argument who has ever worn the uniform.&quot;

&quot;Obama wouldn&#039;t know the difference between an RPG and a bong.&quot;  


ROFL!</description>

		<description>And Krazny makes a good point in #96, about the Taliban, and one that the W lackeys/trolls never can factually dispute

Namely, us libs who hate the US theological thugs also hate theological thugs that the US supports via shared targets of hatred

Us libs aren&#039;t getting any well wishes from either the Taliban or it&#039;s US wannabes, neither are gays, women, or doctors who provide abortions

So please do try, trolls, and explain-LOGICALLY-why us libs would decry US theological thugs like Dobson, Sun Myung Moon, Bill Donohue, et al, while being in firm support of the Taliban when both groups of wingnuts hate the same groups and individuals, namely us libs</description>

		<description>Quick Question for you Ringo:

Do you think that the elimination of the Taliban, the capture of Bin Laden, and the destruction of Al Qaidi would have been an important victory for the west, and a demoralizing and desctructive loss for Islamic extremists?

Part 2 if you do agree that it would have been, Why did your dear decider drop the ball and head elsewhere?</description>

		<description>If you think the Taliban is hurting instead of resurgent, perhaps a trip to the Waziristan area of the Afghanistan/Pakistan border would clear your obviously befuddled mind, especially when the Taliban has powerful friends in high places with the Pakistan Government, that let it operate with impunity

It was W that decided the Taliban weren&#039;t crushing completely

Are you actually claiming that W is a liberal now?

That would make about as much sense as anything else you try and spin through willful ignorance here</description>

		<description>I see patrick when faced with reality, resorts to throwing as much poo around as possible to destroy the thread. 

I find it funny that a group that strives to prevent torture and inhuman treatement is derided by the right wing, and equally funny, that you think the left loves the Taliban. The biggest thing many on the left were pissed about, was Bush&#039;s ADD in leaving not only the Taliban, but also the operational head of Al Qaidi standing, while he went after saddam to prove to his daddy what a man he was. 

Try reading unbiases sources. Most papers, and networks have a web presence. Even Yahoo has a whole news category. Read several really gives you a pretty firm picture of what is going on.</description>
