So not only were the fuel tank vehicles very old, there was something about the fule being watered, which makes Iraqis who buy it PO'd.

1. Some people are saying that!
Mr. President, how can you call soldiers cowards when they don't have the resources to stay safe?

5. No I don't have a link
But word travels fast and some people are saying Bush called these soldiers cowards, if that is true it is a disgrace. I haven't heard Bush come out with any denial that he said it, either.

6. But some people were saying he said something ridiculous last week too.
Turned out to be a groundless rumor. We should either nail this down, find something that lends it credence, or drop it.

Just my opinion.

11. Sorry, don't remember what it was.
The threads don't go back far enough and I can't remember what it was, exactly.

But there was a lot of chatter for a couple of days and it turned out to be nothing.

12. Okay, coming back to me now.
Air America Radio did a spoof story that was supposed to be funny, but some people took it literally. I just don't remember what the hoax story was.

15. OK I don't listen to them
Maybe people talked about it amongst their fans but I don't remember anybody getting burned 'mainstream'.

2. He called somebody a COWARD? He doesn't even show up
for fucking GUARD DUTY, and he calls folks in-country COWARDS?

By golly, he just went up to another level of fuckstickness!

:toast:

7. He was standing in front of a mirror when he heard the news
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 03:43 PM by drdtroit
and accidentally caught a glimpse of his own reflection and shouted "coward!". It was simply a visceral reaction, you know he goes by his gut feeling.

13. The man with the rifle shoots, the man without a rifle follows
when the man with the rifle goes down, the man without the rifle picks up the rifle and shoots!
