prostitutes."

sitting in Paris sipping coffee."
--Regis Philbin

"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any
better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit
outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more
stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whisky I don't
know."

The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced after the
London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to
Hide. The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and
Collaborate. The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent
fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling
their military.

French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney (AP), Paris, March 5, 2003:

The French Government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the
use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a
nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of
Paris, caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender
to a group of Czech tourists

I tried to listen to your blah blah blah segment and as usual I could only take about 5 minutes before getting totally disgusted and shutting it down. I think you're reading too many left wing rags and breathing too much left coast air at Steve's place (I hear he imports it from his Dad's). You're in danger of going to the dark side young Skywalker!

I appreciate that you are there to be on the right to beat the commie bastards back. There is no reason for you to agree with Steve on pretty much anything and here's why - he offers nothing except rhetoric and unworkable solutions. If I can make an analogy, his solutions are much like the gun registry (i.e; they cost immense amounts of money and don't work).

I do not buy into his premise that Iraq has nothing to do with the war on terror (apparently you have) and that Bush abandoned Afghanistan in order to go there - what bunk. In Dec 2001 the US ousted the taliban without breaking a sweat and brought in around 12,000 troops to combat the remnants. US Troop levels have varied since then from a low of about 10,000 to the current 20,000. Consider also the additional NATO troops, not to mention the newly formed Afghan Army (20,000) and police force across the country (50,000). The islamofacists (you know those people that have no talent for building anything) really have nothing left but IEDs and strapping bombs to themselves for blowing up innocents. You could have 200,000 troops in there and the same problems would exist.

According to the Center for Data Analysis Report #04-11 the US had: 'In 2003, 387,920 troops were stationed on foreign soil. This figure is out of a total of 1,434,377 personnel.'. And that figure is even higher now - recruitment levels may have leveled off since 9/11 but they are still outpacing retirements and discharges - the all volunteer military is still growing. And if you think they're spread thin, think again - the deployment in Afghanistan and Iraq combined is only around 10% percent of the entire force and these are currently the only two places where significant fighting is taking place.

As for Iraq, it IS the front in the War on Terror - make no mistake about it. All you need to do is do an internet search on captured al qaeda idiots in Iraq and you get tons of hits going back years. This is where these imbeciles are, does it make any sense to pull a Murtha and redeploy to the Philippines.

By the way has anyone actually seen OBL since Tora Bora - personally I think he has assumed cave temperature and the leading scumbags are just using his 'mystique' to inspire more sicko's.

If I could offer one small critique - don't let Steve lead you into responding to something when the premise is flawed to begin with. Challenge the premise and make him defend it.

here we go,
Now we have sheik hassam nasralla going on about his hezbollah nutters refusing to disarm under any circumstances "there is no army in the world that can force us to drop our weapons from our hands, from our grip" the freak stated in his first speach since the conflict began with Israel on July 12th of this year. Moreover, he went on to threaten the UN peacekeepers by stating that; while they could blockade the borders and the ports and the sky, the will of the resistance will not be broken..."or the weapons of the resistance".
Now, isn't this a guy who only a few weeks ago said he would agree to a ceasefire under the terms put forth by the UN?
I mean, there is obviously some kinda problem here, when the great gods of the UN can't even get some whackjob to listen to it.
..........Oh yeah, Iranian prez Mahmoud ahmadinejad was talking at the UN the other day suggesting that he was a people person and that he didn't want harm to come to anyone.....(except for the fact that he had called earlier for Israel to 'wiped from the map'.
Funny place that UN...
then we have Hugo chavez from venesuala who calls for an end to US hegemony and literally calls President Bush a tyrant.....well bud, I reckon if you want to sell your oil in peace you best check your mouth because hte majority of the Americas are getting right fed up with the bile that's coming from the despots and the mullahs and the rest and when the left finally realizes that their right to protest is up.............well hopefully they'll realize that apologies and appeasment(sic) don't work.

Hope this doesn't end up getting me in trouble
