President Bush has been fighting World War III and neglected to inform Congress or the American people. In an interview on CNBC about the new movie about Flight 93, the President had this to say:
But he said he agreed with the description of David Beamer, whose son Todd died in the crash, who in a Wall Street Journal commentary last month called it "our first successful counter-attack in our homeland in this new global war — World War III".
Bush said: "I believe that. I believe that it was the first counter-attack to World War III."
If President Bush really believes that World War III is underway it does explain a lot of this Administration’s actions. It also explains why the Vice President travels around with a chemical suit at the ready. Although I am still not clear as to who "The Jackal" is and what he wants with Cheney.
I hope everyone has enough duct tape stockpiled. It looks like sanity is in short supply.
As someone who grew up in the Netherlands and who learned EVERYTHING about the first and second WW plus the time leading up to both of them, I think it’s a disgrace and callous to just so casually mention the word; world war. Ok, two words, but you get my drift. Ever since moving to the US I am amazed at the gung ho let’s go to war types when they have never ever experienced war or occupation or the fear and atrocities that the ordinary people are exposed to. Idiots.

Of course we haven’t experienced war or occupation or fear and atrocities.
We are the ‘gung-ho go to war types’!
Duh!
America is all about Gung-ho and firmly against suffering occupation and atrocities.
I think you unintentionally swerved into the truth: If you truly love peace, you must prepare for war.

Apparently this strategy worked real well before World War I =d>
That doesn’t make any sense.
If we had been preparing for war we wouldn’t have had outdated horse cavalry in the age of the machinegun.
If the British had been prepared for war, they would have had the right fuzes on the artillery shells on that fateful day and not been slaughtered at The Battle of the Somme.
Going to war reluctantly is bad for children and other living things.
Actually it makes a lot of sense. WWI didnt get its start the day the guns fired, it started much earlier.
I have to agree with you that Bush does not like going to war reluctantly. He jumps into it with gusto. So much so that he has now started “preventive war” to give himself a head start. Who cares if some Iraqi children are blown up so that “freedom can reign”.
Who cares that we have handed Iraq over to Iranian proxies. We must be gung ho! Gung ho! And away we go! Gung ho!\:d/
Oh almost forgot. We were so prepared for war that we forgot to field enough troops to secure Iraq. 😕
‘Secure Iraq’! Listen to you. What do you even know about anything like that? You geo-political genius you. Any credentials beyond a cable modem and a mouse?
You want it to fail so badly that you will make up facts even if they don’t quite fit.
Why do you want America to fail? Do you not like your daddy, or Jesus? ‘Cuz you’re not a rock star?
All you can do is parrot leftist propaganda without thought–Orwell’s ‘duckspeak’….
Heh heh heh…. That last sentence is pretty funny–mixing a parrot and duck metaphore….
Seriously, I’m just a bit upset since we already conceded the War for Cartoons and are losing ground on the War for Bacon.
You know, if bacon upsets some mullah somewhere, US supermarkets will fold without a shot and ban bacon faster than Comedy Central banned Mohammed cartoons. And bikinis will be right out.
Won’t you fight for bacon and bikinis?
And beer! What if some mullah decides we can’t sell beer anymore!
I’ll fight for sweet beer!
Get with the program, Snarky Suzie!
Ah! Finally got a bona fide true believer here. What facts am I making up? Hmmm? 😕
There’s a fine line between “stay the course” and “stupidity” and you my friend are way over it.
Perhaps you might want to read a little about what’s going on in the world instead of staring at the bottom of your empty glass of kool-aid.
Perhaps you think you can will a victory in Iraq by praying hard enough? Hmm? Read a little about who is in power in Iraq right now? Does that smell of victory?
It is you my friend who want America to lose, not me. Blind faith in a failed policy does not make you a patriot. You started this off right, you know nothing about war. If you did, you might think twice about your gung ho blindness.
Again, gung ho, gung ho, away we go, gung ho. Sing it with me now!
%-(
Read about it? Pray?
I don’t have to read about it–I’m in the Army. I’m not particularly christian either, so I’m not going to pray about it.
I fight for beer, cheap oil, porn, funny cartoons of Mohammed, and pork products!
Look, can we actually get together and fight a real threat against our liberal society freedoms of speech, religion, and individual freedoms and then go back to arguing about Jesus?
Are you with me here, Suzie?
Who’s Suzie? And why are you talking to her? Don’t forget to mention her at your next psych eval :d
Now you want to play nice? Ok, I’m all for defending the Constitution, that we can agree on.
However, you seem to feel genuine glee in going to war. That is highly unusual for a military man. Most military men abhor war. Maybe you might want to mention your love for violence at your next psych eval also. :”>
Again, gung ho, gung ho, away we go, gung ho. Sing it with me now! %-(
‘psych eval’…. Snort–you got that from M*A*S*H or some nonsense.
Please. You really know nothing about war or ‘military men’ or ‘securing Iraq’.
But don’t worry, Suzie, there are still people who know about such things and we will save your bacon…. Literally.
Who is this Suzie?!? Is that like Son of Sam? :d/
Yup, Bush and Cheney are saving our bacon in Iraq. Atleast you and the rest of the 31% still drink that kool-aid. Enjoy the drink while it lasts.
Let me guess. You have some super secret intel that is telling you that things in Iraq are A-OK. But, you can’t share that with me because it’s so super secret. 😮
Actually I’m bored with you. Now go back to American Digest where you can drink kool-aid with the rest of your friends who think we are in fact in the middle of World War III. I was over at your fun site there and some of the comments were real fun to read. Must be fun to live in that alternate reality. I recommend you go back there :d
If you want to debate any of the posts on this blog, feel free. Otherwise I suggest you take Suzie out for a walk…>:/
Really, do you even know anyone in the military?
Have you ever had a friend that was patriotic–not in that nuanced fake ‘dissent’ way, but that flag-waving way?
Would you actually recognize a real threat to your freedom?
How old are you? 14?
Wouldn’t you be more comfortable in a North Korean dictatorship where dissent is not allowed?
I was right. You bore me. Yawn. Come back when you grow up. Until then I’ll just have to ignore you.
There is obviously no middle ground here:
How about you just keep being a small, snarky little man while better men than you keep you and your family safe.
Deal?
There is no middle ground with morons. Wouldn’t you be more comfortable in a padded cell? That way you can keep yourself safe.
How about you read this and tell me what a fine job we are doing in Iraq. :)>-
Oh, wait, I forgot, you mentioned that you don’t read. \:d/
What are you still doing here anyway? Shouldn’t you be on a plane to North Korea by now? l-)
Yep, I was stationed on the DMZ in Korea.
You have no frame of reference to even understand NK. You don’t even know what real tyranny and repression is. I’m on the side that stands against that kind of evil, you cannot understand that.
As far as your article goes–America lost, what?, 20,000 people in a day at Antietam in our Civil War and we continued as a democracy.
The muslim infighting is an unfortunate symptom of our success over there. I’m sure a geo-political genius like you can understand that.
You said:
Are you insane? Unfortunate symptom of our success? What success? Please define what you consider success.
You said:
Nice of you to lecture me about repression and tyranny. What makes you such an expert? You really would fit in in North Korea. I come from a place where 3 million of my people including my relatives where mercilessly murdered in 6 months by a repressive foreign government. So, before you start lecturing me about the meaning of freedom and tyranny and repression, read a little about what goes on in the world.
And then come back here. Once a moron always a moron.
Again, gung ho, gung ho, away we go, gung ho. Sing it with me now! \:d/

You could have used a little more of this:
gung ho, gung ho, away we go, gung ho. Sing it with me now!
To have prevented that.
Which was my original point.
Heh.
Yeah. My original conclusion was right. You are a moron. Yawn. I’m bored bored bored with you. (:|
My mental image of you is this after your long and pointless stint on this comment thread:
Say hello to Suzie…
gung ho, gung ho, away we go, gung ho. Sing it with me now! \:d/
buh-bye >:/
Hey!…Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts ! it was a great Thursday .
The line between news and entertainment has officially been blurred beyond all recognition. Its a soft tyranny. How badly accuracy will suffer remains to be seen.
