Here's a typical dumb fuck comment I just heard at work:
Me: "There's a great sign in my neighborhood that reads: I want my country back"
Freeper who happend to be walking by: "Why do you want it back if you're going to let the French run it?"
Me: "What do the French have to do with it?"
Freeper: Global Test!?"

WTF KIND OF STUPID SHIT COMMENT IS THAT?

3. Global Test and Desert Storm were the same thing?
Please elaborate, I'm unfamiliar with this.

Also, shouldn't freeper be a bit more concerned with the Saudis and the Chinese buying up our country on the cheap?

What is this obsession with the French?

11. Yes, but isn't that an argument against shrub's unilateralism?
Seems like the freeps are arguing against themselves...I'm still confused sorry.

Is the above exchange with the freeper one of those times when you're arguing with someone and they say something so utterly stupid and counter to their own argument that you have to check yourself and make sure you haven't gone mad?

2. It's the FREEPER=Sheep Mentality
They haven't been issued their Official Pigboy Limbaugh talking points for the day yet.

The "Global Test" line is last weeks talking point.

Today a new one will be issued from the golden EIB Oxycotin bottle and we'll be hearing that one parroted all day...

4. Bush picked out something that Kerry said...
But didn't hear the entire thing. So he focused on when Kerry said something about a global test during the debates, and is making the worst out of it. Kerry meant he'd exhaust diplomatic means to solving problems, with the help of our allies. Bush is telling people that Kerry wants to let everyone else run our country. He's just a little jack ass with selective hearing.

13. I thought the global test was bush's spin on Kerry's answer for
seeking an international coalition before making a pre-emptive strike.

There are new ads out saying Kerry would weaken US security because he would take time to get other countries lined up. Basically the ads lie about Kerry's stance.

Check NPR from this morning.

6. Please!!!!
The "global test" in Kerry answer had nothing to do with foreign countries!!! Read the transcript. It deals with a comprehensive test WITHIN the country.

12. The global Test
From my understanding the 'Global Test' had to do with providing a credible reason to the world community for the US to take unilateral action. It has nothing to do with 'seeking permission' from foreign nations, as the Bushies would like to assert. Correct me if I am wrong.

This is in contrast to the Repukes blowing up nation after nation at the touch of a button, solely at their discretion.

17. Bush didn't understand the meaning of the word GLOBAL
He just heard it and drew his own conclusions.... or had somebody ELSE explain it to him.

Smirky was at a total loss when faced with intelligence.

18. In 1917 we did a "Global Test" and landed in France
and said, "LaFayette, we are here." It was payback for when the French did a Global Test and saved our ass at Yorktown.

Unless he zipped down to Mexico to pick up some, uh, "special medicine."

* couldn't find Europe in an Atlas.
