LOL, foaming at the mouth and over the edge..... tigie, spookie and kenny... Yes they could also be called despicable. And I think ageichie will be making the team.... LOL Eagleburger: Anti-Bush Dems 'Over the Edge,' Carter 'Despicable' Former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger said Monday night that leading Democrats like Sen. Tom Daschle who continue to criticize President Bush as America prepares for war were "going over the edge," adding that the recent conduct of ex-President Jimmy Carter was particularly "despicable." "I must tell you, when we are this close to putting troops in harm's way.... I do think that the Democrats now are close to going over the edge," Eagleburger told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "I must tell you, as far as President Carter is concerned, I think what he has done for some months now is in fact despicable," the former Secretary of State for Bush's father added. In language especially harsh given Eagleburger's Foggy Bottom credentials, the one-time top diplomat continued to slam Carter, recalling, "He did it ten years ago with regard to the first Kuwait war, where he called other leaders around the world and told them not to agree with the first President Bush. He's doing it again." Then Eagleburger reiterated, "I think he is despicable." The former Bush administration official said that while he wouldn't use the word "traitors" to describe Democrats who continue to criticize Bush on the eve of war, he explained, "When you're about to put American troops in harm's way, I think it's time now to call an end to that partisanship." newsmax.com

Some kooks wanted to boycott german cars until someone pointed out to those ignorant morons that most "German" cars sold in the US are in fact made in the US. I guess those kooks haven't heard of Daimler Chrysler.

I am not the originator nor did I do the caps mode, but the author seems to understand the current situation more than some of the brainless ones who post on here. >> A good list by Dennis Miller: ALL THE RHETORIC ON WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD GO TO WAR AGAINST IRAQ HAS GOT MY INSANE LITTLE BRAIN SPINNING LIKE A ROULETTE WHEEL. I ENJOY READING OPINIONS FROM BOTH SIDES BUT I HAVE DETECTED A HINT OF CONFUSION FROM SOME OF YOU. AS I WAS READING THE PAPER RECENTLY, I WAS REMINDED OF THE BEST ADVICE SOMEONE EVER GAVE ME. HE TOLD ME ABOUT THE KISS METHOD ("KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID!) SO, WITH THIS AS A THEME, I'D LIKE TO APPLY THIS THEORY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T QUITE GET IT. MY HOPE IS THAT WE CAN SIMPLIFY THINGS A BIT AND RECOGNIZE A FEW IMPORTANT FACTS. HERE ARE 10 THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN VOICING AN OPINION ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE: 1) BETWEEN PRESIDENT BUSH AND SADDAM HUSSEIN ... HUSSEIN IS THE BAD GUY. 2) IF YOU HAVE FAITH IN THE UNITED NATIONS TO DO THE RIGHT THING KEEP THIS IN MIND, THEY HAVE LIBYA HEADING THE COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND IRAQ HEADING THE GLOBAL DISARMAMENT COMMITTEE. DO YOUR OWN MATH HERE 3) IF YOU USE GOOGLE SEARCH AND TYPE IN "FRENCH MILITARY VICTORIES," YOUR REPLY WILL BE "DID YOU MEAN FRENCH MILITARY DEFEATS?" 4) IF YOUR ONLY ANTI-WAR SLOGAN IS "NO WAR FOR OIL," SUE YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR ALLOWING YOU TO SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS AND ROBBING YOU OF THE EDUCATION YOU DESERVE. 5) SADDAM AND BIN LADEN WILL NOT SEEK UNITED NATIONS APPROVAL BEFORE THEY TRY TO KILL US. 6) DESPITE COMMON BELIEF, MARTIN SHEEN IS NOT THE PRESIDENT. HE PLAYS ONE ON T.V. 7) EVEN IF YOU ARE ANTI-WAR, YOU ARE STILL AN "INFIDEL!" AND BIN LADEN WANTS YOU DEAD, TOO. 8) IF YOU BELIEVE IN A "VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY" BUT NOT IN THE DANGER THAT HUSSEIN POSES, QUIT HANGING OUT WITH THE DELL COMPUTER DUDE. 9) WE ARE NOT TRYING TO LIBERATE THEM. 10) WHETHER YOU ARE FOR MILITARY ACTION OR AGAINST IT, OUR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OVERSEAS ARE FIGHTING FOR US TO DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT. WE ALL NEED TO SUPPORT THEM WITHOUT RESERVATION.
