Sorry, Matt — ignorance is not a valid option.

The proper attitude is one of ACKING the truth while not being COWED by it.

Which one is brave, the soldier who runs into the room under fire from a hail of bullets believing he can’t be shot, or the soldier who knows he can be shot from earlier experience, but does it anyway because someone has to do it?

Clearly, there are SOME terrorists who are not incompetent, and, if there are not now, then it is a statistical certainty that someday there will be. So being prepared for such, for not taking terrorist ineptitude as an eternal granted, one is using prudent common sense.

Facing such truth with a defiant “F*** YOU!” is the only valid response, not keeping your head in the sand.

I’ve just returned from a brief trip to the ol’ hometown of St. Louis. For the past three days I’ve been away from computers, Fox News, and other elements of my everyday life that I left behind to focus my attention on my elderly……

If you can’t prove it, it didn’t happen.

Any PROOF on who was behind those (boring) 9/11 attacks?

Before you answer, you should KNOW this: 41% of Americans (still ” slow on the uptake”) think Saddam planned and funded it.

Proof, not theories please.

Especially for George Washington — fairly uncorrupt, fairly competent, brave.
Not like the S. Viet allies of the US: corrupt, incompetent, cowardly. Not like the corrupt elected Euro Commission (all resigning a few years ago), or corrupt Dems & Reps in Congress today, or corrupt Iraqi Gov’t, not very competent.

Corruption comes with democracy.

Thinking about Generals vs elected politicians, most Generals who’ve succeeded in becoming top leaders are far more corrupt than Gen. George; and most post-WW II leaders of ex-colonies have been corrupt.

Terrible silly comments here, Neo. So bad it won’t surprise me if you don’t read them.

One Lefty wrote:
“the same spirit of ignorant loyalty to a bad cause lives on in their descendants.”

The bad cause of liberation? Of democracy? Of human rights? These are the reasons I supported Operation Iraqi Freedom — and will keep supporting it AT LEAST as long as the US has been occupying Germany (60+ years and counting).

But the Left has perfected the art of seeing their own weakness and projecting it. What was the Left’s goal in Vietnam? To make America leave, to make America’s allies lose … to allow the commies to win, to allow boat people, re-education camps, Killing Fields, and genocide. The Dem Party voted to NOT FIGHT against these evil outcomes, and, in doing nothing, allowed evil to win.

Their bad cause — (false) “peace” meaning “stopping America from fighting” (even against evil). Ignorant loyalty to this bad cause…lives on. All too sadly.

The “easy” way, straight through Kassarine Pass.
At least we thought Italy would be easy. Then “Smiling” Albert Kesselring had other plans called the Gustav Line. Anzio and six months of bombing and frontal assaults. So “easy”.
Atlantic Wall: piece of cake.
Monty sure thought Arnhem was easy. Until his 1st Airborne Division fell into a two panzer division tank park. Well, at least it was “easier” the second time around, 7 months later.
Yep, how easy those Solomon Islands and New Guinea were. And Tarawa. MacArthur promised to return to the Phillipines because he knew how “easy” it was going to be. The Divine Wind was just a gentle breeze.
What a jerk.
I want to just say that one more time.
Waht a jerk.

Happy Independence Day, jackball.

Prolly the same ones Bush & Cheney watch.

We took the easy way out in WWII.

Not a bad move, really.

Too bad the rest of the world learned from our example.

Now we’re the ones holding the bag.
