Cut an order that all socialists and communists be sent to re-education camps 😀

The reason the US military is chasing “asshats” is because its the US snail pace handleing of the situation that is keeping Iraq in the stoneage. Noone wants to listen to people who are pointing out poor (or nonexistant) stratagy for plans to rebuild . And since the US isnt allowing other countrys to go in (and you know very well that countrys like France, Germany, Russia and most other European countrys want very much to be part of the rebuilding), we have to listen to Dubyas speaches about how US troops are going to stamp out the enemys of freedom. When its the US post war mismanagment that is hindering freedom and holding back progress.

Get a clue. Since you brought it up: The French, German and Russian government can not be trusted on this issue. Get over it.

*Russia. Yeah right. They were giving out diplomas to Iraqi Intel agents as recent as last year.

*France and Germany: Socialist and Green Govenment? Forget it. The French president is tainted on the issue of Iraq- Do I really, really have to list all the reasons?

As for something like France doing peacekeeping work in Iraq. You may want to consider how they handled Srebrenica in Ex-Yugoslavia in July 1995 before you think that the French are effective peacekeepers. Their record in that department doesn’t impress me.

“Allies” like this, we don’t need.

OK, you’re all, thinking, another American bashing thread, but this time it’s just the one. President George W Bush.

The war in Iraq is over, I know it is because President Bush told us so a few months ago.

.Yup and as I have said already. It’s your business if you like to listen to media with selective memory. He also said in the same speech that the job ahead was still dangerous and there is still work to do. But I suppose you would have said that there is no reason to rebuild Germany or Japan as we didn’t get the job complete in 6 months. Therefore it’s a failure.

Yet US troops are still dying in what can no longer be called petty numbers. But that’s not the point I’m getting at. Since the ending of the war Bush has not visited Iraq because it is too dangerous. Not too dangerous for the troops or for other members of his Government, not too dangerous for Tony Blair. If you are prepared to put your troops in harms way you should be prepared to visit them..That of course is YOUR opinion.

Hurricane Isobel. The eastern seaboard braces itself for Isobel’s arrival and several states are ready to declare a state of emergency. Where is Fearless Leader? Gone up to Camp David a day early to ride out the storm. However, he will, and I quote “Be monitoring the situation carefully….” He seems to avoid being in crisis situations. I would NOT be comforted by having a leader who refuses to face any of the dangers faced by his people.
.A hurricane? This is your best fking reach to bash Bush. Pretty weak.

Hey ! What a suprise! Another bash America thread on AFM. I would have never thought. My comments above in RED

BTW I think the reason flip floping on going to war in Iraq was stupid. Having said that, getting rid of SH was the right thing to do. 12 years of parlor games is enough. Game Over.

Here is a little hint for you. I don’t bring up Mr. Blair ( I usually say ( AND I SHOULDN’T for the reason mention here ) He’s a strong leader for a socialist ) or the Royal Family ( One post where I was mostly complementary )out of courtesy. ( Something sorely lacking on this forum. ) They belong to you not me. It is your right to criticize them as you see fit. It is interesting that you get all fired up by your biased media in the U.K. and then see fit to pay insult on our president.

when President Bush declared an end to major combat operations

Yup. And like a lot of media with selective memory, he also said in that same speech that the work ahead was dangerous and the job wasn’t over.

Nice little defeatist peace there from the Observer. Here is an near impossible task. Find a Brit newspaper that publishes stories that report the whole story and not all defeatist crap.

When I did golf photography for a company that supports the U.S Mens and Ladies golf tours: Just about the whole roster for the PGA and LPGA between 96-99 . I can always start a conversation with: “When I stood on the first tee with Greg Norman or (pick one) Tiger Woods, Michelle McGann, Karrie Webb etc 😎

Various hollywood celebs but there is a difference between meeting them and seeing them 5 feet in front of you when you are taking a photo so I would say that ratio is about 1-10

Saw Prince Charles close up ( didn’t have the opportunity to talk to him. ( toured RAF Lakenheath to look at F-111s )

(had I opened my mouth…. it may have gone like this…. )
ELP- “Hi Prince Charles!”
PC- “Did the filth talk?”
Bodyguard- “It talked, your highness”
PC- “Get this rebel scum out of my sight”

😀 )

When I was at Alconbury in ’85 John Major gave 10 of us from the base a tour of parliment. ( that was when he was a lowly MP) That was really cool.

I would say they aren’t as interesting as two WWII icons which I have met and talked to: Paul Tibbets and Robert Scott ( from Flying Tigers Fame ) He lives in the area ( in his mid 90’s and still young ) and see him at various functions once in a while.

The real shame is that most people here dont identify with either party.

It is hard for the Republican party to look thrifty with the citizens tax dollars when they do moronic things like federalizing baggage inspectors at airports and creating a total waste of spending like the Department of Homeland Security.

The Dems aren’t much better. Their ideals are socialist in nature. The Declaration of Independence says:

“…….that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. …..”

You have the right to the pursuit of happiness. That does not mean that the government hands it out to you for free. No where does it or the constitution mention free health care, free insurance, free medical care…. etc. etc. etc. The dems push socialism. I don’t think that is what our founding fathers wanted. This isn’t the United States of Entitlements. Yet they keep pushing for all that BS. ( for all you Dem history revisionists. Don’t forget that during the Clinton era he started out with an “economic stimulus package” that was nothing more than a bunch of taxes. That got shot down. Just as a lot of stuff from the free health care nazi hillary got shot down. Good thing too. Want that kind of nonsense? Move to Canada.

BTW for other revisionists. There was no economic boom in the 90s caused by Clinton. All that happened was a lot of over-inflated speculation on companies in the stock market ( many of which didn’t show a profit or their books were cooked ) Investors dumped stocks on unprofitable companies and it ended. After that 9/11 gave the economy a good push down.

I am affraid I am more libertarian party this time around. Too bad they don’t have the payolla to make a difference. http://www.lp.org

As for that moron Kerry. He is a liar. What they have to say is not important to me. Obi wan said it best: “The power of the force has a strong influence on the weak minded.”

I always knew Madonna was a thespian. Don’t know about the other two… “what?” …… “what?” 😀

This is weird. But the Norway restaurant in the Epcot Center in Disney, Orlando Florida is incredible. Excellent food and atmosphere.
