LTTE in my local paper...if it wasn't so crazy it would be funny
"Think about this:There were 39 combat-related killings in Iraq in January. In Detroit there were 35 murders in the month of January. That's just one city, about as deadly as the whole war-torn country of Iraq.

In the years since the terrorists attacked us President Bush has liberated two countries,crushed the Taliban, crippled Al- Quaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people.

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking. But wait, it took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation. We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took hillary Clinton to find the Rose law firm billing records.

Our commander-in -chief is doing a great job. The military morale is high. The biased dinosaur media hope we are too ignorant to realize the facts."

I left of some of the other blah,blah...but there was much more of the same...I wonder what it's like to live in their world?

1. Taliban crushed? When did that happen?
We all know the Taliban is alive and well. And even if it weren't there are two dozen other groups working hard to take their place.

Oh, and taking credit for North Korea? BWAHAHA! Right. As if he wanted anything to do with that deal that went into place ONLY after we replaced dumbass Bolton in the UN.

And yeah, it took less time to drive into Baghdad than it took for Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidians, but we aren't still sitting in Waco getting our asses shot off.

Jeez, you're right - funny because it's so crazy.

3. The red kool-aid obviously causes brain damage.
I bet if I broke into his house, killed his youngest child, set fire to his kitchen, gutted his bathroom, removed the main supporting wall of the building, and generally trashed the place - he'd be grateful and tell the neighborhood what a wonderful job I did.
