HULK SMASHED

GravatarFrist. Ugh.


GravatarDon't know if it's all that big an "honor" to be frist on a post about another 47 slaughtered in Iraq.


GravatarIs my omelette done yet, gotdamnit?!
.


GravatarDamn, that must be a record - reading the post, then still being frist and second.


GravatarBut Chimpy said yesterday there was a trench, or a berm if you will

And so they've got a plan now, they've adapted. The enemy moves; we'll help the Iraqis move. So they're building a berm around the city to make it harder for people to come in with explosive devices, for example. They're working different neighborhoods inside of Baghdad to collect guns and bring people to detention. They've got a "clear, build and hold" strategy.


GravatarThey've got a "clear, build and hold" strategy

It worked so well in Fallujah


Gravatarthank you atrios.


GravatarOh, believe me, Atrios. This Jessica person's breasts are more important than Iraq.

Ask Ann Althouse.


GravatarCan we call it a civil war yet?


GravatarI think that the 101st Keyboardists should go to Baghdad and help dig that moat.


GravatarWay late to the party, but what's with Ann Althouse's twisted booby fixation?


GravatarI really think we better have the Pope give these people a good talking to!


Gravatarso which corner is this we have turned?


GravatarNo fuckin' fair, dude.


GravatarThe NYT caves in to Pony Blow.


GravatarThey're working different neighborhoods inside of Baghdad to collect guns and bring people to detention. They've got a "clear, build and hold" strategy.

Ya knowah,

If that ain't working in Minneapolis (which has had a huge uptick in violence in the past year), I'm guessing that it won't work in Baghdad.

Just a hunch.


GravatarWe're WINNING, damn it! If the goddamn LIBBURUL MEDIA would stop reporting fripperies like this and tell us how we're succeeding, we could wrap things up in Iraq in a week or two.


Gravatarso which corner is this we have turned?

MC Escher's.


GravatarIt's not a civil war. It's worse than a civil war.
Hell is a better descriptor.


GravatarIf we can't stop this crap why do we have people there?


GravatarCan we call it a civil war yet?

Works for me.

I think "a huge fucking disaster" is also an apt description.


GravatarIt's been over three years. By now almost all the schools in Iraq should have a fresh coat of paint. What else is there for us to do?


GravatarAnd so they've got a plan now, they've adapted. The enemy moves; we'll help the Iraqis move. So they're building a berm ... They're working.... They've got a plan ....

Follow the pronouns: They're building a berm, we're just helpin'

I guess this is what he meant by the Iraqis standind up as we stand down


GravatarThey're working different neighborhoods inside of Baghdad to collect guns and bring people to detention

Does the NRA know about this?


GravatarTime to declare victory and get out.


GravatarIf that ain't working in Minneapolis (which has had a huge uptick in violence in the past year), I'm guessing that it won't work in Baghdad.

Minneapolis is getting violent?

I did not know that.


GravatarWay late to the party, but what's with Ann Althouse's twisted booby fixation?

I'd make a titty twister joke, but someone's probably already beaten me to it.

It's a tedious story.

Althouse is just jealous. She's also mean and tedious.

A really awful combination.

Auntie Ann! Auntie Ann! it's a twister! it's a twister!!


GravatarThe real goal: permanent bases. Mission accomplished.

Who cares about the rest of it? Let the Iraqis slaughter each other to their heart's content. It's not our problem. We've got our bases and our massive Imperial outpost, er, embassy.


GravatarAnyhoo, does Althouse know about Atlass Juggs?


GravatarMinneapolis is getting violent?

I did not know that.


Yeah, thank your federal govmint for that. Has been for a good decade, or so.

Cutting off LGA has been a disaster for this state.


GravatarCan we call it a civil war yet?
Interrobang


No. It's still a spiral. Tom Friedman and Donald Rumsfeld will inform you if and when it becomes a civil war.

I believe it involves wearing blue and gray uniforms.


GravatarCharlene Darling would NEVER pose in such a provocative manner, would she?

She has man-hands as well


GravatarWho cares about the rest of it? Let the Iraqis slaughter each other to their heart's content. It's not our problem. We've got our bases and our massive Imperial outpost, er, embassy.

And those bases have car dealerships and burger kings!!

We are so cool.

Not.


GravatarNotice that the liberal media fails to report that those are state-of-the-art checkpoints, and that the proposed ditch that the US forces are not-building will have all of the latest amenities; they are far, far more advanced than any checkpoints and ditches Iraqi citizens have ever used, or even imagined existed, before the Unitard™ decided to rescue them!

This is exactly the kind of technological advancement that Tom Friedman predicted!

Compare those to Saddam's nasty checkpoints and ditches, and then you ought to appreciate the unfairly-discredited truism that you can't make a Freedom Omelet without breaking a few hundred thousand Freedom Eggs!

Respect for the You Ess of A is rising exponentially in the Arab ditch.


GravatarI probably shouldn't blog whilst engaging in escapism. Reading the news fucks up my enjoyment of Star Wars (BTW, the Death Star just blew up--ONE explosion).


GravatarAlthouse's berms are more like... ummm.... mosquito bites.


GravatarCan we call it a civil war yet?
Interrobang


Not until the Shiites bomb Fort Sumter.


GravatarDeath by titties.


GravatarI need to know: Why isn't this Ann Althouse woman more widely ridiculed? I mean, she's a law professor who evidently hasn't read the constitution, and now she's making jokes about another woman's mammary glands?


GravatarI probably shouldn't blog whilst engaging in escapism. Reading the news fucks up my enjoyment of Star Wars (BTW, the Death Star just blew up--ONE explosion).

Are you watching regular Star Wars or the lego version?

More generally, what the fuck are they teaching in law schools these days? I'm looking at you, Althouse, Instawanker, Assrocket...


GravatarI think that by now it's widely accepted that the Death Star was stabbed in the back.


GravatarBuzz Bomb - I've often thought that the best response to "schools are being painted!" is, yes, at a cost of $10 billion per. If this president had told you in 2002 that he had a great plan to repaint the schools in Iraq at a cost of $10 billion each and a few American lives, would you have thought it was a good idea?


GravatarAlthouse and the other tenured neo-cons are the enemy.


GravatarFor those who missed the enormity of Curly's tongue, I present it, again.

I don't believe Buzz Bomb ever thought ANY of this was a good idea.

No matter what fucking chimpy had to say.


Gravatarfourlegs - I know Buzz Bomb never thought it was a good idea. I suggested a response to people who did, and who continue to point to "schools being painted!" as if that proves they were right.


GravatarHowever, please keep in mind that this is NOT a civil war.

Chimpy sez so.

GravatarAre there theories on the internets about how the Death Star exploding was an inside job?

Yes, it's clear that no stub fighters could destroy such a powerful symbol of the Empire's benevolence and military might, so somebody in the Empire must've been in on the conspiracy to generate sympathy in the galaxy so Palpatine and Vader could, uh...forget it.


GravatarI suggested a response to people who did, and who continue to point to "schools being painted!" as if that proves they were right.

The sad fact is that those people are immune to logic and reason.

The "Hey, we're paintin' schools!" people use that as a way of pointing out what selfless, decent people we are. We didn't invade Iraq for our own selfish purposes, or for oil, or because Bush is a warmongering nutcase, or even for unfortunate but necessary geopolitical reasons, but because Americans are A Good And Noble People who want to help the less fortunate of the world and spread Democracy.

GravatarStill, the Affair of Jessica's Chest is small (no pun intended) compared to Ann Althouse's failure to understand the separation of powers in the constitution. My jaw dropped when I read that from her. She's a law professor who doesn't understand the foundations of the law of this land.


GravatarI love you dearly, but you've gotten this far without having to resort to using your dirty pillows.

Heh.


Gravatarwould this be an inopportune time to discuss whether I should swap out my profile photo with one of my breasts?

I think all bloggers should put up photos of their breasts.

This whole thing is so childish.


GravatarActually, I'm all for exposed female breasts, from a sort of gender equality, sensible standpoint. A nipple is a nipple. Why should women be forced to hide theirs because there's extra fat behind them, while men can proudly strut about with their nipples exposed?

And come to think of it, since I live in a white-trashy town where a number of men go around shirtless even in moderate (~70º) temperatures, I'd like to see a little less exposed male breastage around here, thank you...

And there he takes his own path, no doubt influenced by his sexuality, but still full of reason and emphasis.
