Too late for a political joke? I think not!

[billyjoe]

I couldn't believe it when I saw former senator Max Cleland at a political rally (lost both legs and one arm in Vietnam) say " I wasn't really injured in Vietnam. I went hunting with Dick Cheney".

not really a joke, well maybe he is depending on your stripes, but some neocon writer (Buckley?) created a nickname for George Allen of VA....Felix Macacawitz.

Wow dems are in...... Looooook Out

Well now its time to throw the whole Iraq war thing in their LAPS ....Sure a pullout would be nice ......but once the Shiite Militia takes over those oil fields ......The ladies had better dust off their Burkas ..... Radical Islamic Doctrine will spread like crazy financed by the OIL money .
The BIG problem is that the US troops are too heavily restrained ......If you wish to win a war .....let the dogs of war loose .....or get the hell out ...putting more men slowly into a meat grinder is NO way to win a war.
As Sherman said "War IS Hell" I approve of this message !

Our troops were put into a no-win situation. The world contains over 300 million muslims, and a good portion of them are more than willing to go to iraq just to drive us out. How can we win a war where the enemy is almost invisible to our troops?

I hate to say it, but we got suckered into this war....partly because of the Israeli lobby who pushed hard for it and assured us that it would be a cake walk. I believe they're also saying the same thing about an Iran war. Give us an old-fashioned war any day and we win. But fighting a world-wide insurgency is another matter.

On an even darker note, once we leave iraq (and its a question of when, not if), those radical muslim fighters will turn their attention to Israel in an effort to drive them out of the middle east once and for all. The logical response to that offensive is to drop a few nuclear warheads on both Iran and Syria, and Iraq too since it will be just as hostile once we leave. So it looks like Israel's tactic to get us involved in their fight made matters much worse for them in the long run.

Errm, Tatnic, this was supposed to be a "political joke" thread. This is much too grim.

ok...here's one.

A huge deposit of oil has been found in the Gulf of Mexico. Experts say that it's probably enough to supply the U.S. with enough oil for the next 200 years. Upon discovering this news President Bush announced plans for an immediate invasion of Louisianna.

you're right...here's one. Dick Cheney was deer hunting with a couple of buddies and he was being chauffered around in a humvee convertible, when all of the sudden one of his buddies jumped out from behind a bush and yelled..."DON'T SHOOT, I'M NOT A DEER!"

Well, Dick raised his rifle and dropped him dead in his tracks. The driver of the humvee cried...Mr. Vice-President...he said he wasn't a deer!!

Cheney said, "Oh...I thought he said he was a deer!"

hey..I just heard on the radio that rummie resigned...another casulty of the war it appears.

Geez...I wonder what his definition of "Forever" is...Maybe about a month?

[billyjoe]

Would you say Rummie "cut and ran"?

I fully expected Bush to start making changes regardless of how the elections turned out...He didn't want to make changes beforehand....that would have been political suicide... I even read an article a few weeks ago where they quoted him as saying the goal won't change but the strategies will be reviewed....Doug

The president being a good family man keeps nothing hidden from wife Laura.
Sorry, I can't finish this joke. Don't want to risk being banned from this forum.
