3. Absolutely. The quote is from a comment Shrub made this morning
re: the attacks in Jordan. I find it mind-boggling that he can speak about cowardly and barbaric attacks of any sort considering what we now know about the Fallujah massacre.

Peace.

4. Without diminishing the horror of Falluja,
The bombing of innocent people in Jordan or anywhere else IS cowardly.

7. I've always wondered about the use of the word cowardly...
It just doesn't seem to fit the context. Barbaric, sure. But cowardly? I don't get it.

Now, what IS cowardly is a spoiled rotten rich boy who has never seen a day of struggle in his entire life who giggles and lies to get his country wrapped up in a war for profit, the burden of which is carried by and large on the backs of working class kids.

9. I'm not going to argue with your description of ***, ..however
A bomb in the middle of innocent people is not cowardly??


Let me put it in a context that is closer to home, and FAR less brutal. What would you use to describe somebody who snuck up behind a member of your family, lightly tapped them on the shoulder and in an extremely docile and unthreating voice asked "excuse me, can you help me"? But when they turned around to answer, punched them in the face as hard as they could. Cowardly?

Now imagine instead of a punch, how about a shotgun blast to the face?
Barbaric? you bet. Cowardly? Fuck Yes!!

12. but... covertly developing a plan for execution..
which could land you in prison for god knows how long and more than likely under brutal conditions, and then blowing yourself to bits as part of the process takes some balls.

8. Thanks. I'm glad I missed it.
Most of what comes out of his pie hole is either projection, gut-wrenching irony, or lies, none of which I am capable to stomach. :puke:

As per your statement, I find it mind-boggling that he can't speak more than a word or two without exposing what a buffoon he is, but is still warming the seat where the leader of the free world should be sitting.

13. Coming from this source - that's the issue, not
whether or not it was barbaric.

15. I can't believe he had the gall to say
they killed innocent people and bombed a wedding party. Didn't we do that too?? Does he know that? Is this guy ignorant of what's going on or pure evil?? Man.

19. Can't figure out........
whether the whole administration is ignorant of history, deliberately obtuse, or suffering from retrograde amnesia.
