I know, there goes my "lying eyes" once again.

I'm always amused when the propaganda never matches reality.

1. Our government lies like a rug.

I totally am starting to understand how the neo-nutbags came to be.

[lonestarnot]

6. A yellow pissy rug!

[Erose999]

13. Man, that rug really tied the room together!

[lonestarnot]

17. Must have, it's still fucking there!

Clever!

[liberal N proud]

2. Propaganda rarely matches reality

That is why they don't report news but rather editorialize the events.

[snappyturtle]

3. You have perfect vision however, I am not amused but rather insulted. nt

[DutchLiberal]

4. Missiles are known to never hit he wrong targets; they never make collateral damage...

Everybody knows this. So this must be a deliberate attack on Qaddafi. There is no other explanation, right? :eyes:

[Javaman]

8. right, keep repeating that to yourself, if it helps you sleep better. nt

[DutchLiberal]

11. After seeing the rebels cheer and celebrate over our help, I slept wonderfully.

Oh, and unlike you, I feel not sorry one bit for poor Muammar.

[Javaman]

14. Where did I say I supported gaddafi?

put words in peoples mouth much?

So you assume because I don't like war or like military intervention, that I naturally support dictatorial regimes?

wow.

You know what they say about assuming right?

I think you scored big on that one.

sleep tight.

[DutchLiberal]

16. I merely pointed out the consequences of your unwillingness to support our intervention.

Own them.

[hootinholler]

5. What's the problem?

They said HE wasn't the target. The building he occupies is something entirely different.

9. It's been long know that the people in the pentigon really hate

stucco.

[malaise]

7. Welll you should hear the Brits contradicting each other

over the fact that the UN mandate does not allow them to kill Gaddafi

[Fuzz]

10. It's such a bullshit policy. If Gadhafi is the problem, go straight for him, don't kill

innocent people with bombs while pretending not to be trying to kill him.

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. I agree, but the problem IS

that opens up OUR Presidents for assassination. I won't expound on that. :scared: Thousands/millions of lives would be spared if dictatorial leaders could just be knocked off.

[meow mix]

15. like they are going to tell the guy, "ok here we come get ready"

fucking hilarious.. DU posters expect to be let in on every detail (along with ghadaffi) :rofl:

[RoccoR5955]

18. If Gaddafi is the target...

Why not just call in the CIA, and do it subversively, for less money?

[xiamiam]

19. ive been thinking the same thing...nt
