Quote Of The Moment #0057
What is your response to the recent evidence that this war was waged on the basis of " I wanted to rip the president's head off. Curse him, yell at him, call him a self-righteous bastard (and a lot of other words). I think if I had him in front of me, I would shoot him in the groined area. Let him suffer. And just continue shooting him there. Put him through misery, like he's doing to everyone else. He doesn't deserve any better. -- Sue Niederer, mother of a soldier killed in Iraq Now, this blog doesn't advocate violence -- against the President, or anybody else. But the chicken-hawks really ought to take note of the very real enmity with which military families hold the Administration. As Niederer later notes, if they're so fucking hot to wage war, "Trade places with the troops over there now. You go over there. You send your children, husbands, wives. Let them come back in a coffin."

First of all my condolences to Sue and anyone else who has lost a loved on in this inexplicable venture in Iraq. Sorry if that sounds less than emotional but it is at least genuine.
I really am quite an obnoxious bastard because life has taught me to be that way, but let's be honest, there are levels which even an obnoxious bastard considers are too low to sink to.
Needless to say when you think you know the worst there's always someone who can "Improve" on it. Bush / Cheney Inc have improved on it.
I don't intend to go into great detail in this post but invading Iraq was the most abysmally stupid move Bush could have made and it's even more abysmally stupid to have done so with no infallible exit strategy and / or options.
GPS, Information Technology and "Smart" weapons are no use at all if you have no clue where the target is. It's no use at all having the best guns in the world or the most guns in the world if you still have no idea who the enemy is, and right now we have no idea who the enemy is.
Catch up with you later but I like the "Trade Places" idea.

Sue Niederer is an idiot....she's just taking advantage of her son's death for her own 5 minutes of fame....
She is a traitor! -- Posted by: Michael on September 19, 2004 06:33 PM
