7. That's the actual image...
...that's what caught my eye, and I was going to post it even before I saw the Karen Hughes clip...

I also think it was intentional.

3. It's hard work ...
the Repukes want you to believe that going to war was a hard decision. I say bullshit, it is the decision of cowards.

The hard work is getting better results while still maintaining a decision to NOT go to war.

Cheers
Drifter

9. Yeah, she said that in response to Cokie Roberts Q about a majority...
... thinking we shouldn't have gone into Iraq at all.

Well, it's a different question altogether, isn't it, Karen?

Polls show a majority (it was 55 or 65% in the number cited) in the U.S. now believe we should not have even gone into Iraq at all.

If you asked the poll question "Do you like war?", I'm sure you'd get more like 90-100% saying No.

No one likes war, Karen (except you and your ilk). Duh! But people don't even think YOUR war was necessary!

10. Gee Karen, if war is so hard, why'd you have such a hard on for one?
Actually, not just one, but two. And you boss, before going on the teevee to tell the nation that he'd finally decided to let the bombs fall on Iraq, was pumping his little fist, saying "Feels good, feels good." Of course, as with the Vietnam war, it was someone other than Chimpy who was going to be doing the killing and the dying. He and his buddies are just collecting the government contract payments.

12. War is hard. See Dick run.
Run Dick, run. Run from enlisting. Run to "other priorities."
See George run. Run to hide in Texas Air National Guard. See George run AWOL. Run, George, run. Run and party. Run companies into ground. Run for president. Run America into ground.
Cheat, George, cheat. Cheat cheat cheat. Lie George, lie.
War is hard. Clearing brush is hard. Life's a bitch.

18. But you truly love war Karen. You have been such a team player in the
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 10:25 AM by shance
murder of innocent people.

You have rallied and cheered and promoted this war like a good little "soldier" yourself.

It is clear you love war, or perhaps its just that you love the lifestyle and the POWER you have become accustomed to receiving and using during your 'duty' with this Administration.


So, like the others, its not really about values or conviction for you is it? Its about greed, power and more greed.

If not, why not use your influence to actually stop the war? Or help these kids get back home. If you really hated war, that's exactly what you would be doing.
