1. We can't fix this, folks. They're bat-shit crazy. Let's
get out and leave them to worry about unlawfully intimate tomato-cuke relations.

2. Well, if we hadn't squandered our military in Iraq, we'd be doing a better job of hunting down those
fuckers and killing every last one of them, which is what we SHOULD have been concentrating on in the first place.

Ditto with the Taliban. We'd have been Much more likely to have been able to rid the Earth of those cancers if we'd have been able to concentrate on doing so.

Both of those groups are evil. They need to be exterminated. But do we do that? Noooo, we invade a country that never did a fucking thing to harm us.

I guess that's what happens when you have a country run by lunatics.

4. So who are we fighting?
the Iraqi insurgents fighting al-Qaeda or al-Qaeda? And if the answer is al-Qaeda, why are the other ones called "insurgents"?
It couldn't be clearly that the war in Iraq was a distraction from hunting al-Qaeda.

6. Hell, I remember that one from botany class. Both fruit, both female.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are both fruit which come from flowers. Flowers are female sex organs that, after fertilization with pollen, produce fruit. Analagous to the mammalian womb.

Batshit crazy they are indeed.

8. I wonder if it is really true....
as it is according to the US Military. Could it be a touch of propaganda?

10. Let's see here,
This is brought to us by the same people who pimped WMDs, fake anthrax, nuclear weapons, the connection to 911, 6 months and we're gone, flowers and candy, and oh so much more. Somehow I think that this piece of propaganda is bullshit too. I think I'll wait to hear from some friends who are actually over there, boots on the ground, in the marketplaces, and see what they have to say. I'll lay big money that it is BS pure and simple.
