From the latest Onion:
Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On'
WASHINGTON, DC—In an internationally televised statement Monday, President Bush modified a July 2003 challenge to Iraqi militants attacking U.S. forces. "Terrorists, Saddam loyalists, and anti-American insurgents: Please stop bringing it on now," Bush said at a Monday press conference. "Nine months and 500 U.S. casualties ago, I may have invited y'all to bring it on, but as of today, I formally rescind that statement. I would officially like for you to step back." The president added that the "it" Iraqis should stop bringing includes gunfire, bombings, grenade attacks, and suicide missions of all types. See the rest here: http://www.theonion.com/ |
LOL :)
Though, Algezera(sp?) has been reporting that the US keeps on breaking the cease-fire. (they report that and, the obligitory repetition of "US shouldn't be trusted") ;) So, i would expect the good liberals would have to believe that the US has ZERO interest in a cease-fire, and rather does want the insurgents to "bring it on". |
It's more like just a mess, created by us. We have to allow our military to take whatever actions neccesary to gain control and order, plus end the insurgency that is costing so many lives, but there are always two wars going on in war. Winning the fighting part is easier than the "hearts and minds" part that we must win if we ever want to leave that god-awful place, and when an occupying army is applying heavy violence against an occupied people, (no matter how neccesary at the moment), it does not look good to the people that we need some slack from.
Did you read the rest of "The Onion"? The non-political stories are also hilarious, IMO. :cool: |
The Onion is outstanding. Some of the most well-written parody in the world occurs there, IMHO.

I would love to meet the writers of the Onion....they are like Gods to me.....
I have been enjoying their articles for the last 5 years...pick the new one up every week. My favorite title (no article): "Neutered Cat Instinctively Protects Empty Scrotum" |
"Fox Reality Show to Pick New Iraqi leader", or my favorite, "Newest Starbucks Opens in Restroom of Existing Starbucks"..... :D
In the current issue, click on the "Onion from history" front page, (1906 Onion), read about the first motion picture. Thought I was going to have a siezure....... :D |
