Maybe Karl Rove is right about us
Ya know, lately -- I hate to confess this, but ...

I've been wanting to knit a sweater and send it to Osama. He always looks so cold and bedraggled in those videos.

Maybe if we showed him some understanding and some kindness he wouldn't be so mean all the time. And why not invite all those Iraqi insurgents to a big barbeque (no pork, of course!). We could all sit down together and discuss our differences over a big plate of cole slaw and potato salad.

And we could have counselors there, just like at summer camp. And when it's over we could all hold hands and sing "Kumbaya."

7. That's what the world needs now. More badminton.
If we could just start sending badminton kits to Iraq, the insurgents would drop their weapons and want to join in the fun!

:evilgrin:

9. I think our plan makes more sense than
the neo-con plan (or the lack of a neo-con plan).

12. I wish the world did have more badminton, It's the sport my son's best at!
But that is off topic...if we could get more reruns of Mayberry RFD on arabic language channels, the world would see that the good ole' USA is not such a bad guy afterall..

6. Actually * was the one proposing therapy for Osama
Edited on Fri Jun-24-05 10:32 AM by KurtNYC
Physical therapy. You may remember this line which sounds as much like a personal trainer as it does a Resident:

smoke 'em out...get 'em runnin'"

Well Osama ran and * decided to do Iraq instead.

10. Osama
Is a billionaire. Born with a diamond spoon in mouth just like Chimp
In fact the Bush and Bin Laden families are business partner in Carlye

He is connected to the CIA, Al Queda group is actually a CIA funded group to train fighter in Afghanistan to fight the Russian. Al queda funded the Taliban and help train their fighters.

What you looking at is what they want you to see.

13. seriously, "therapy" would have worked better
why do they hate us? or why DID they hate us on 9/11?

1. they don't understand us
2. they think we're dissolute & irreligious
3. we support the butcher over the victim (israel/palestine)
4. we had troops in SA

#4 we caved in on (did you notice?)

i said on 9/12; we need to drop the LOVE BOMB on the muslim world. we had our chance to show our largess to afganistan, to rebuilt that oil-free muslim country while respecting their medieval, misogynist culture. to demonstrate our vaunted christian values & show OBL to be the narrow minded fanatic he is.

but we chose war in iraq. & now its too late to repair our relations with islam. and one short sighted fake christian pre-senile demented idiot made that choice.

and that sends a reinforcing message to the jihadists. and the generations of jihadists to come.

19. Ah Yes... Good Ole Cat
He was a BIG FAVORITE of mine back in those days! Joan Baez, Kumbaya, Stevie Wonder, We Are The World, and then something really BIG from CAT!

Let's not leave out Bob Dylan... Where Have All The Flowers Gone, as done by Peter, Paul & Mary!

Nostalgia, I think I'm gonna CRY!

26. Yeah, we can ask Mr. Stevens how it feels to be on the no fly list
Only to find at the airport on his way to an engagement.

BTY he missed his engagement, but received some publicity and an apology from the government all because of his religion.

23. Everyone seems to be focusing on what rove sed about
the sensitivity thing, but he also sed something about indictments. That's where he's right! We should have launched a criminal investigation and issued indictments for those who were REALLY behind 911. Instead, we bombed a country that had nothin to do with it. Liberal dems were correct - maybe some of us should say, oh yeh, rove, let's get back to those indictments your talkin about - but of course it might lead right back to the WH, so, oh well nevermind.

24. Every single military commander of all time
would have laughed hysterically that "to know one's enemy" was a bad thing.
