If you criticize the mission you are infact criticizing the troops.

let’s take this “logic” further…

if I’m criticizing the troops, I’m criticizing the U.S. taxpayers (b/c w/o the taxpayers, the troops wouldn’t be able to do their jobs)

soooo, if I’m criticizing the U.S. taxpayers, I’m criticizing myself, my wife, my friends, and many (if not most) on this board.

now that’s just not right! I’d better stop criticizing the mission or I might get on the bad side of everyone (myself included).

got it, no foul

just don’t want any of you’se homos touching my stuff

And I’m the simple-minded one here…

Yeah that works. Almost everyone went along with it in the begining so use I say you should criticize the US. Why not? Wait I know why! Because that takes away from the hatered of Bush.

Pretty good but if you want the job sone before they come home you now support the mission and the troops but hat e the president.

??? - your logic defies reason “At any moment each person is always doing the VERY BEST he can, based on his total conscious and non conscious prevailing awareness and which is within his capabilities, energy, time, and developed talents and abilities. If people are always doing the very best they can, it is illogical and irrational to expect them to do better. What is the reason this concept is so important to understand? If it is true, then it is counterproductive to criticize someone for not meeting or conforming to an expectation or standard until they have the awareness of the benefits they will receive by conforming. What needs to exist is for people to be made aware of how they will get better results, by pointing out the consequences of their behavior and giving them the choice and opportunity to make adjustments.” - Sidney Madwed
** Tibbs, please help me to understand the error of my ways.

The administration was saying before Afghanistan that this would be a war that may well last longer than two presidential terms.

It’s the same war. Two different battlegrounds of the same War against Terror.

Say, about that oceanfront property in Arizona…

Congratulations you have just taken over as Chief of Propaganda, Brian286 has been demoted to Chief Cleric.

Ha!

And you … Head of Minority Intelligence

I have all the meds I need in my stack of CD’s. If that doesn’t work I go on a bike ride. As different as our world views are, our taste in music is probably frightingly similiar.

Like Sun Tsu said - know your enemies. He that knows himself and knows his enemies need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

Major battles and operations are done in Iraq. The Iraqi military was demolished and Hussein was put out of power. That was the scope of the initial battle (if you call it one).

What you are currently seeing are insurgents (mostly from outside of Iraq) coming in and trying to upset and undo what has already been accomplished. This is a tough battle to fight when the cowards fill their pockets up with dynamite and go to a populated area and push a button. However, our resolve will remain unshaken and we won’t abandon the mission.

Well I don’t know about the music, but if your ever using the Tuesday night Marquette ride for a fix, look me up. I’ll be the old, pacifist douchebag on the Wilier.

“However, our resolve will remain unshaken and we won’t abandon the mission.”

Ohhhhhh thats a good un, you just got yourself a promotion. As well as Chief Cleric you’re now Grand Poobah of Speechwriting.

**I’ll be the old, pacifist douchebag on the Wilier. **

Okay, the old pacifist part is cool (at least you have the courage of your convictions, which I admire) and the Wilier is SUPER-COOL.

The douchebag part we’ve got to talk about, though…

I can’t get visions of those old “hot water bottles”, with the long, rubber hoses, out of my head now.

THANKS!!

I’ve never done one yet, but if I do I’ll keep a look out. Thanks. I should be easy to spot too. I’ll be the young, warmongering a-hole in the Ted Nugent jersey.

Ted Nugent - now we can talk music! too bad the storm took him out of action on Monday down at the fair.

cranking the Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent CD (Stranglehold, el al) on the way to your first Tuesday night ride should help you hang in up Shepard. beyond that (Pond, Melrose, Doberman (Wild Horse Creek), & Orville), you’ll have to rely on your legs.

A lot of the younger folks, who listen to Nugent today, don’t realize that Derek St. John and a few other singers supplied most of the vocals in the early Nugent days. I think St. John sung the lead on “Stranglehold”, though “Cat Scratch Fever” (sung by Nugent himself) was probably the song he was most well-known for.

And who can argue with being scratched by a mean pussy? :wink:
