		<description>O&#039;Hanlon is the dirty little secret that libtards and progressives are both frustrated by and discomforted by, since he exercised intellectual honesty (a rare feature among leftards) and actually told the truth about what was occurring with Bush&#039;s surge in Iraq. It&#039;s hilarious to see leftards and progressives now eat their own, going after O&#039;Hanlon because he dared to overstep the leftarded school of thought which espoused that Iraq was lost no matter what, surge or no surge. Casualty-O&#039;Hanlon joins the long list of leftards who are eaten by their own when they dare trespass against libtard orthodoxy, everyone from Lieberman to the scientists under Clinton who deny global warming. O&#039;Hanlon is proof that Bush&#039;s surge is working because he is from the extremely leftarded Brookings Institute, a center whose folks have been relentless in defaming the management of the war. O&#039;Hanlon USED to support the war initially, but he turned against it when, he alleges, Bush mismanaged it.</description>

		<description>Just a quick correction, all those who signed that excellent OpEd were enlisted, which is to say that they were not &quot;officers&quot;.  Some are NCOs, or non-commissioned officers, but again they are considered part of the enlisted troops, as opposed to the commissioned officers.</description>

Comment by Dr. Dog â€” August 19, 2007 @ 2:15 pm


And after Bin Laden knocked the towers down, Bush let him go at Tora Bora.

And you STILL haven&#039;t gotten him.

Everything Bush said in his photo op the day after the towers fell, as he stood on the bodies of dead Americans, was a LIE.

The people who knocked the towers down have NOT &quot;heard from us all&quot;.

They have NOT been brought to justice.

In fact, Bush flew their families out of the country two days after 911, without even questioning them.

Bush let Bin Laden go AFTER he dropped the towers.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;The New York Times must also now allow the overwelming number of troops who realize the progress being made in Iraq to publish their editorial. They are making the contributions, and they deserve their voice.

Comment by Dr. Dog â€” August 19, 2007 @ 1:56 pm&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You make a good point Dr. Dog; however, there is a difference.  This is a big story because coming out against this occupation is more difficult than supporting it.  Especially when you are there fighting it.

Besides, I have just talked to one of my friends that just came back for a couple weeks and went back last Thursday.  He was a supporter (at least more of one that I was) for most of this occupation - I asked him if it was getting better or worse - he did not hesitate and said worse.

It was pretty bad when I was there, and one of my Marines that has been back since (I am now out) told me it is much worse.  In his words &quot;for every friend we make six enemies&quot;.

Who are you listening to?  Why are they so much more credible than these soldiers?  How long can you be told &quot;6 months&quot; before you start questioning?  When are you going to start weighing the consequences?</description>

		<description>If starved for attention like a child in a Republican family, the bat-sh!t crazy zipperheads will just go away and find some other way of amusing themselves like masturbating, kicking the dog, running their fingers through stacks of coins, or telling racist jokes down at the local social club for old white men still living in the 1930s.

A person much wiser than I once said: &quot;Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.&quot;</description>

		<description>Just to get this straight here:

Dr Dog accuses Wayne of lying about Dr Dog being a no show at a fight between the two. Wayne&#039;s claims are independently verified by three posters (Zooey, Katy, and a lurker who is seemingly unrelated to the whole lot, who verifies the structure of Bruce&#039;s gym.)

Then Dr Dog&#039;s record as a doctor and as having served is challenged. Google mysteriously turns up no data on him, despite him claiming to have three doctorates. 

Shane give Dr Dog a chance to fax him proof.

Shane mysteriously, gets no fax. Dr Dog claims that a male on the counter says he has his fax, yet Shane reveals that the person on desk, is in fact female.</description>
