I’m an Army nurse who recently came back from Iraq after suddenly starting to have grand mal seizures out of the blue that were diagnosed as chronic aseptic meningitis, meaning non-viral, non-bacterial, we-don’t-know-what-you’ve-got-but-you’ll-always-have-it. And where are they coming up with this 30,000 injured soldiers b.s.? The Pentagon’s been stuck on that number since before 2005! Let’s see… they admit that over 100,000 soldiers have brain trauma…”tens” of thousands have lost limbs, “several” thousand have been estimated with PTSD, and a nurse friend of mine at Brooke Army Medical has told me that they’ve made incidental findings of cancer in several of the kids that are patients there. Add that to the 4 million Iraqis that are refugees due to ethnic cleansing, the close to one million that have died…Did you see the story on CNN of the Chinese who openned a Chinese restaurant in Iraq where happy Iraqis sipped drinks in a “pacified” Iraq? All the customers were men. DON’T BE FOOLED! The Chinese were contractors! The “happy” Iraqis were also contract workers on their breaks and the whole set-up was in the f#@king Green Zone because it was a Pentagon propaganda film sent to the media! Get real. They lie. All media is filtered by the military! No journalists are allowed except those on the military payroll. All positive stories coming out of Iraq are at set-ups like the above or senators and dignataries are directed to a few of the walled-in areas where a massive clean-up and Hollywood worthy stage is set up with bazaars, stores, etc. It makes me sick! What do the Iraqis have to be grateful for? Williams and O’Bile-ry need to go for a stroll in the “real” Iraq. Yeah, right. Like thats’s gonna happen.

If Juan Williams had any brains he wouldn’t be on Fox News, the cable channel which is brought to you by and for uninformed of the U.S.

Just to make things even clearer, the choice to risk your life is and must always remain your own. Those who disagree with this are monsters.

What this means for Iraq isn’t that Iraqis should have always lived under Saddam’s rule. Rather it was up to Iraqis to overthrow Saddam. A civil war is no small matter, as everyone knows. Hundreds of thousands of lives are at stake.

Can you take the decision to put a cross on those lives ? Do you own these lives ? If something goes wrong, who pays the price ? You ?

Again, as we know, those who pay the price for the war are the civilians. It is therefore their decision.

The decision must always remain in the hands of those who pay the price, for anything. It is the cost principle and this is why there is no draft in America anymore.

How dare the Iraqi people be so ungrateful to their master, the USA, after being responsible for at least 150,000 Iraqi babies, children and women being murdered. Ingrates.

Hey YouMoron, Nazi Germany was invading our allies like it was a blue plate special at K Mart and DECLARED WAR ON US. How did I miss Iraq declaring war on us? Oh thats right IT NEVER HAPPENED. You do realize you are ignorant beyond belief dont you? THAT Limborg talking point is a couple of years old even the stupidest of the propaganda parrots gave up on THAT vintage stupidity. Go play with the other special children and leave the adult discussion to adults

Thank god for this nest of truth detectors unblemished by pragmatism. Amazed if this isn’t suppressed by

A couple of links:

I especially like http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/jallen2.html as the model phrase it lists could be reworded as “For every action and every liberal excessive reaction, a conservative will make an action that is excessive beyond the realm of believability.”

59, Bozo the Neoclown

Careful there.

A few years ago, a Columbia, SC BBQ joint got in trouble when the owner put out these pamphlets with these rather questionable assertions. Basically that the black slaves were thankful to their white masters who resuced them from illiteracy in Africa and introduced them to civilization. And a whole lot more “interesting” comments on slavery.

I bet American Idol gets better rating than Shakespear. I hear Hitlers speeches were real popular too. You ratings queens are pathetic.

This talking point is obscene. I assume only the stupidest people on the planet will be taken in by it. The rest of us can be physically sick that it is even TRIED. How greatful would WE be if say China invaded and occupied US? How greatful should the hundreds of thousands DEAD feel? Their families? How about those tortured? How greatful, and THEIR families. Juan is a tool. He has obviously sold out to even read that contemptous stupidity. The right isnt even TRYING to make sense anymore they just spew stupid red meat to their moron base.

I like Juan Williams in general, but this is one of the most bizarre things he, or anyone, has ever said.

Juan, put the shoe on the other foot and see if you would say the same thing.

along the same line of reasoning, african-americans should be thankful for slavery since they got a free ride to america. then again, this clown is on faux, he very well may agree.

It’s all so vulgar. Professional agitators. Stirring up hatred. Obscene. Guess that 18% is nodding its head in agreement. The other 78% is getting queasy.

So if we did the something to Williams and McCarthy… say decide to knock down their house, without asking them, with their family in it (collateral damage, gotta break some eggs) and then overpay a bunch of contractors to rebuild it to be almost as good as it was (while they live in a tent for five years) – they should thank us?

when i show up largely uninvited to these a-holes homes to rewire their house so they can have grounded 3 prong outlets in every room, and after i leave them without electricity for years on end and eventually burn down their house and kill their kids in the fire because of my lack of training, knowledge, and a plan, i still expect billo and juan williams to be grateful for services rendered. hey, no more ungrounded, 2 prong outlets!
