I would say something biting in response to your apparent fantasy that democrats (instead of others) are somehow responsible for the Administration's current problems in Iraq, but I don't really care that much to engage with you in this particular brand of lunacy. Best wishes for a pleasant day.

Read Slave's post. It is one thing to sympathize with someone who loses a child. Its another to endorse treason. I am down the former but anti the latter. Why the leftwing sees a value in championing this shreiking idiot I have no idea but I know that if they keep it up it ensures a Republican president in 2008.

Do you even think W could find IRAQ on a fucking map?

Ok, so why haven't you volunteered to go there and die for the wonderful Iraquis?

You are just going to have to take my word for it. In a prior life I had journalistic (and editorial) aspirations. I have a collection of death threats from conservatives who took umbrage with some of the positions I took in my editorials. It was mostly the gun control and pro-choice columns that tended to rile up the masses. Standard stuff: "Babykillers deserve to die" [oh, the irony], "I'll be waiting for you with my assault rifle in hand," etc.

Then there was when I was in law school, interning at a Federal Court. On the anniversary of Roe v. Wade I walked out of the building to grab some lunch and was screamed at as a baby-killing-son-of-a-bitch who deserved to die. Irony was, that building only houses Article I courts.

Oh, yeah. And then there was that time I accompanied a scared friend to Planned Parenthood to get advice on birthcontrol (thinking smart, she decided it was a better to not actually have to come later on to obtain an abortion). She was a friend; I was disinterested in the event. Didn't stop one of the protestors who were gathered at random (I used to drive by there all the time, and never saw protestors before or since) from yelling at me "What gives the right to kill your baby? You don't deserve to live. We'll be waiting for you when you come out."

So, out with it. When was the last time a Democrat offered to relieve you of your head at 300 yards with a deer rifle?

Fuck you for implying that Al Queda is either Democrat or a liberal cause.

Convenient excuse. I am not going because I am not dying for Haliburton, plain and simple.

I already admitted it, you troll. My point was the other stories about crazy vandalism turned out to be bogus. What happened is roughly what happened at the end of other administrations. BFD.

Also, what it has to do with anything is that it evidences the legacy of Clinton. An unhealthy disrespect for our system.

No more than the similar incidents in 1993 reflected the legacy of W.'s father. Give it a rest.

C'mon down careful Arnie!

Penske, this is what passes for an apology. You and I need to lower our expectations for what to expect from polite discourse.

If this war was really about Halliburton - wouldnt the stock be much higher?

After bottoming out in 2002, the stock has only finally reached its 2000 levels.

No he isn't. He can join the National Guard or the Reserves, and odds are that his unit will head over at some point. I don't remember what the age cut-off is, but it's pretty high for the JAG units. There's an older judge from here that's over there, and the state bar newsletter had a regular column from Iraq last year, written by an assistant district attorney in his upper 30s.

What I'm kind of curious about is whether the similar incidents in 93 gave rise to a 40+ page GAO report as well, and what the comparative cost of the alleged damage was compared to the cost of the report.

And the original post that started all that talked about theft of stuff and trashing the place. The missing W keys was a small part of what Penske alluded to.

But why take him seriously about this, Ty? He still talks about the "conspiracy" behind Vince Foster's death, despite the fact that even Ken Starr investigated it and found nothing other than it was a suicide. He's just jerking your chain, sts, iykwim, aittyd.
