But that hasn't stopped them from killing American and British soldiers in Iran

I wasn't aware we'd moved further east into Persia. Something you'd like to tell us, friend?

But the silly liberals here are so eager to suck the dick of anyone who is not Bush, and they'll ignore 30 years of history to do so, going so far as to actually think Iran wishes us well.

It would be laughable if it weren't so scary.

What's laughable is the expectation that other sovereign nations should be expected to act only in America's interests, not their own. That level of hubris hasn't been seen since Publius Quinctilius Varus marched his three Legions (plus their families) to their collective death in the Teutoburger Wald in 9AD.

Consider Iran's likely take on it: the United States has invaded a neighboring state, unleashed a chaotic and multifactional civil war, has shown zero interest or ability to contain it, and is now engaging in a game of rhetorical (and increasingly bellicose) chicken with their leadership. In those lights, Tehran would be idiotic not to (a) seek to strengthen its proxies inside Iraq, (b) leverage its influence in the wider region by playing the 'good guy', and (c) do what it can to minimize further US influence and power in the same region.

The myopia of the Bush Administration (which you apparently share) would be laughable, if only it weren't so tragic and leading us all to disaster.

Oh, dear, oh dear. Trolls, mock trolls, and boys who like to be angry. No shooter, though, that sad little elf with aspirations. He goes to all the trouble to have his his vocal cords surgically roughened and to take up residence under a nearby bridge, and for what? Everywhere you turn, mass-produced imitations who are nastier, crazier, and cheaper, thanks to economies of scale which shooter, for all his Lafferian expertise, has never been able to master.

Should we remind him that Republicans look out for no one, especially not overqualified minions who strive desperately to convince themselves that a certain subtlety along with years of dedicated service will advance them to a favored place at the trough?

Define troll, because I've been around here a long time. Maybe just for convenience's sake, you define it as someone you don't like. That way you don't actually have to use your head.

-- HornetDriver

I define a troll as a person who, when trying to use their head, provides me much amusement because I get to watch as nothing much else happens.

The internet has other definitions but I make up my own to suit my purpose. Freedom from lexicogarchy!

Sorry, but ... the speech of a leader who must make the right noises to appease a militarily stronger and aggressive neighbor don't count for a lot.

George W Bush could have said it better. Heck, you could be President Bush for all we know.

In which case I'll consider this a ringing endorsement of diplomatic engagement.

The gullibility here is astounding.

See my comment to HornetDriver, then we discuss who is being 'gullible'.

All gladiators have well defined and toned muscular legs, usually well oiled, and they wear very short skirts.

I got it. And so did most everyone else on here. The fact that you don't know that..."Sad, innit?" -- Kitt

You "got it" Kitt because you had previous knowledge that Amity is a sometime satirist. The fact that you are not intelligent enough (a fact that almost everyone here knows) to realize that you wouldn't have seen it for satire had you not already known, is, indeed, sad.

Addled, I'll use one of your beloved cliches: "It goes without saying"... what a stupid, 'tough guy' reply you have made. I wonder if you are so tough and strong and boisterous in person.

Hey, Addled? Is Major joking?

Just came across this. It's a perfect summary of the Obama and Salonista worldview:

No offense to Amity, but it was obvious that it was satire...and I don't know Amity, Kitt or Adnoto.

(I'm not especially bright either).

To discuss black theology, its history and its influence today, I spoke with Jonathan L. Walton, an ordained minister, expert on African-American religion and assistant professor of religious studies at the University of California at Riverside. Walton argues that black theology is not as radical as it has been made out to be and that Martin Luther King Jr. was actually more controversial than Wright. He also says that Wright -- the most visible adherent of black liberation theology in America -- will end up as a footnote in the history books alongside Gennifer Flowers, Willie Horton and Donna Rice...

Darrin Bell, in his comic strip "Candorville", addressed this in his trips starting May 5th though the 10th.

Click on my sig for the first strip of the series.

I think it answers "KnoB" rather well....

Cheers,

Not very creative or funny. Rather sad, really.

When you're quite done comparing everyone to lower-order animals and decide to rejoin the human race, let us know.

We're still waiting to hear about these US and British troops you claim were being killed in Iran. A typo, or just an ignorance of regional geography?

So, just because you're dumb, don't assume everyone is.

You misspelled "not a racist".

No charge.
