11/23   "We will in fact, be greeted as liberators." -Dick Cheney
        http://csua.org/u/52o
        Is this what Dick meant?
        \_ absolutely.  what's the problem?
           \_ I don't know.  When US GI liberated France half century
                     pluralize this _/                   \_ missing article.
                       \_ you                                 \_ are
              ago.  Soldiers don't get killed on daily basis.
          comma _/            \_ didn't          \_ missing article
             \_ a                 \_ pedantic        \_ twit.
                                                        \_ This might be a
                                                           fair assessment if
                                                           the guy had made one
                                                           error, then got
                                                           yelled at for
                                                           posting ESL crap.
              \_ Holy cow, how many errors can you make in a 2 line post???
        \_ I like how you pro-war neocons are pretty quiet about stuff
           like this.  Is it because you now know everyone thinks you're
           full of shit?
           \_ If your boys hadn't proved to be such wimps in Iran and
              Somalia then the rest of the world wouldn't think they can
              chase us off with a few bodies dragged through the street on
              camera and a hostage or two.  As far as "quiet about stuff like
              this" goes, I didn't even bother to read the link.  What's the
              point?  If 24.999 million Iraqis came out with flowers and the
              last guy moped in his room that day, you'd flash the headline,
              "Iraqi hates Americans!  Wants Saddam back!  Film at 11".
              There's no point in responding because nothing we can say would
              satisfy you in any way.  If your boy had said and done the same
              things, you'd be the first out there saying how important it is
              to free the Iraqi people and too fucking bad if a few jarheads
              get wasted because, hey, that's what they're for, right?  That's
              paraphrasing your girl Albright, btw.
              \_ This is a great example of neocon ignorance and rage. "I don't
                 even need to read what you have to say, since I believe
                 everything BushCo and Faux News tells me." GO TEAM!
           \_ Stuff like what?  We WERE greeted like liberators.  Sure,
              there are some people in Iraq who don't like americans.
              There are plenty of people here in the US of A with that
              property too.  There are quite a few places here in the US
              where the locals would be more than happy to drag around the
              bloodied corpses of police officers.  What's your point?
              \_ We were greeted as liberators by about 15 people.  Have you
                 looked closely at the images of the Saddam statue falling?
                 The media outnumbered the participants 1.5:1.
                 \_ I have seen home videos shot by soldiers.  They were
                    greeted by a fair bit more than 15 people as they were
                    driving around Baghdad.  People of all ages.

        This week's food for thought, brought to you by People's
        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

3/26    Things I learned from History: Lincoln was photographed with
        killer. Lincoln had 3 male lovers (he was bisexual!).
        Kennedy had an affair with a Nazi spy. Elenore Roosevelt
        was a lesbian!!!  Nerdy looking Ben Franklin was a suspected
        killer and quite a ladies man. WTF???
        \_ Did it mention anything about Washington and the cherry tree?

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        http://www.csua.org/u/sl0 (news.yahoo.com)
        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100720/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_iraq_inquiry
        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.
        \_ When we fight with Red China, what nation will we use as a proxy?

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

10/1    Signs that Communist China is really opening up!

        \_ WOW that is TOTALLY AWESOME. I'd love to see a porn
           of this genre. Asian. Lesbians. Military. That
           is just awesome.
           \_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.
