Falluja - anyone feel like they are watching the Movie "Mars Attacks"?
Edited on Wed Apr-28-04 03:17 PM by symbolman
"WE COME IN PEACE" as they blast the holy SHIT out of everything that casts a shadow..

They put Orwell to shame.. actually watched the Crazy woman with the upsidedown eyes and square glasses on CNN (covers the Pentagon) saying out loud TWICE in Two days.. "Technically there IS a Cease fire going on.."

They are insane.

do they really think that people are going to SWALLOW this? Joe Sixpack?

Or as the old cartoons goes, "hey, Mr Whipple told everyone Not to squeeze the Charmin and Now HE'S doing it!.."


Here's my latest flash on the troops, I've coined the Term "McSoldiers" (they die for pennies on the dollar, un armored - unlike the 'contractors' MERCENARIES)--

"Murder By Numbers"

2. An apt analogy.
"We came to liberate."

3. Will Iraqis start playing John Ashcroft records to destroy US troops?
Will Marines heads explode upon hearing a few notes of "When Eagles Soar"

We better rush 100,000 sets of earplugs to Iraq stat.

4. Great Flash, symbolman, though I prefer the old term for McSoldiers
Hessians

Every King George needs his Hessians for the same reason, to lyingly deflate actual War Dead and fool the "folks back home"

King George's don't change much in 225 years, do they?

12. Anarchy 1999 is right
Basically it's the corportization of soldiers, Like Rumsfelds (and incidentally CARLYLE's idea) of a Tooth to Tail military..

the troops make what, $1300 bucks a month at low rank (not enough to support families or keep their house) - they get "stop gapped" so they can't even GET OUT of the military if they want to..

They aren't equipped as the military would equip them (I know I was in purchasing in the air force in 1971-74) - instead you have the corps and Halliburton, Bechtel, etc.. CHEATING THEM --

no armor for Hummers or personal armor, they are writing home for NIght vision goggles and other needs..

MEANWHILE, the Mercenaries hired contactor goons are getting everything they need AND up to $174,000.00 a YEAR..

OUR troops are FODDER and nothing more..

Fast food fodder..

13. Actually...
Enlisted troops start out at a little under 1200/month. It's not great (7.50 an hour for a 40 hour week) but most of our soldiers don't go into the service for the money. That's what the mercs are for. And I wonder how many of our soldiers are being killed in Iraq because they couldn't get enough money for college?

14. Wow, symbolman, I've always felt the same about you.
Looks like we've got ourselves a mutual admiration society going on here. :hi: :toast:

Thanks for the compliments. And back atcha! Your flashes and your website are fantastic, Fellow Patriot!

:toast:

By the way, if you should ever again get a chance to be on a Bushevik pravda Show like O'Reichley, here's a good line for you to use when they call you a propagandist

But Bill, you sit at the head of the greatest most psychomanipulative and developed propaganda machine in human history. You guys regulary launder lies into truth so much so I think you have some old KGB Men in the Faux basement. Why do you hate America so much that you would emulate the tone and psychomanipulative strategy of the Nazis?

5. It does seem un real. maybe like Germany taking Poland?
Course I grew up in the age when that movie was re run to all. It is like a bad dream and I never thought that my country would be put in this place. The world used to look up to us and now we have pulled our country down.Or these War lovers have.

11. Collective Punishment
When the SS occupied a country, and the resistance would stage attacks, they would "collectively punish" the population. They thought that would terrify the citizenry into not cooperating with the Partisans.

It didn't work. It just made the resistance stronger.

How do you like that? The American Army is using Nazi tactics to try and crush a people's spirit.

America has become what it hates.

16. Yes, exactly. Although there's a little bit of "Alice's "grow me" pills
in there too. With a little "Mad Hatter" (Rummy) and some Chesire Cat (Wolfowitz) and the "Red Queen" (Condi).

It's all very bizarre what they tell us to believe which our eyes tell us differently. :crazy:
