Chimpy might as well be jumping around at a backyard barbecue, after killing a few mosquitos yelling, "We're winning the war on mosquitos!!"

To think that you can wipe every person with an anti-American agenda off the face of the Earth is retarded. And I hope I haven't offended the mentally challenged by comparing the preznit to them.; Thursday, November 10, 2005 11:44:00 AM
drmagoo said...: That's one of the biggest questions that those of us who opposed the war from the beginning have been asking - a war on a concept, like the war on drugs, or poverty, or whatever else we're at war with, doesn't have a well-defined end. Which means that, if it's in the interests of those in power, they can drag it out as long as they want and make it mean what they want.

On a more concrete point, Chimpy McFlightsuit failed at defining any criteria by which we'd be able to leave Iraq, and that's criminal.; Saturday, November 12, 2005 8:46:00 AM
