Oh, please, let me have one of your shirts. I will wear it under my fatigues as I go off to defend freedom and liberate the people og Iraq. Been there once, I will do it again. You can thank me later that I am going over there and you can sit on your pot-smoking ass bad-mouthing your country. If you do not like it, why don't you leave? Another useless American wanting to reap the benefits of our society and give nothing in return. Yes, you are welcome that I defend your right to be a complete ass and sponge off the hard work of others. Next time you have a protest, invite a Muslim with a bomb strapped to him. I won't be there to defend your sorry ass, since you are not enough man to do it yourself.

Liberate the people of Iraq?

by Jessica Monday, Feb. 17, 2003 at 5:04 PM

I'm not sure how bombing the people of Iraq and cutting off their sources of water, medical supplies, electricity and food, thereby causing widespread famine and disease, will liberate them.

You might need more than a T shirt

by Sheepdog Monday, Feb. 17, 2003 at 5:05 PM

With the personal CBN equipment

issued. Do they still

have that gas mask you have

to remove to change the filters?

Jessica

by Bush Admirer Monday, Feb. 17, 2003 at 5:08 PM

Jessica, for god sakes, use your brain.

The way you liberate the people of Iraq is to get rid of the awful tyrant who oppresses them. Duh!

We could use Bush Admirer

by Sheepdog Monday, Feb. 17, 2003 at 5:16 PM

For the environmental hazard test.

How fast can you pull your hood

(holding your breath) then change two hard to fit

fragile replacement filters, replace, check blow

and rehood. Hope there aren't any aerosols around

if you need to see what you're doing. Fun stuff.

Bush is a Nutcake

by krankyman Monday, Feb. 17, 2003 at 6:21 PM

That is always the right wingo war-mongering way to settle the world's problems"we will bomb the crap out of you and your nation to liberate you from a maniacal tyrant that we helped support in the first place." At least the blood thirsty right wing psycho's could at least spray paint a little "Sorry" on each bomb before they launch them at a women holding on to their babies. Nothing like making Iraq safe for the Halliburtons and Mega-Oil companies and other "free-market" corporate pillagers.

And as the people of Iraq stand in a pile of radioactive rubble caused by depleted uranium coated shells I am sure they will enjoy their "liberation".

Yea woo haa lets go boys, well blow those damn Arabs out of the desert, This is not your Farm Mr. Bush people are not all the same or uhh how should I know I lived under an Apartheid goverment I am white but when we settled our differences we did not go at each other from behind. Confess it bush you just wanna Blow Saddam cause ya think he's SoDam fine !

Ha

by Dave Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2003 at 8:52 PM

I could of swore that since the Gulf War the US has been sending care packages to the actual Iraqi people. Also, when was the last time you saw an Iraqi CITIZEN get bombed in a MILITARY radar site? But, what do I know, I mean George W. Bush has been known to eat Iraqi children and actually steal food off their plates. And he gave everybody cancer. No, I'm sorry I mean he only gave minorities cancer, since he is a racist.

Dave's not here

by lancer Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2003 at 9:16 PM

And neither is any sense in the statement he made.

A warm wind is blowing out his ass.

His grasp on reality is fragile.

Make some sense

home boy.

Looks like the 'Who's Next' alblum cover

by lancer Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2003 at 9:32 PM

I wonder if they are thinking 'wont get fooled again'

You must be making the point that they will overthrow

Saddam if we leave them alone.

Whatever

by Project 7 Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2003 at 9:38 PM

Cool picture, by the way. I like it. Piss on all tyrants.

I'm sure the Iraqi's felt that way all through the 80's when Saddam was Bush Admirer's buddy.

Military Mike,

I'm glad you will be getting some authentic fatigues out of the deal; maybe you can at least LOOK like a real soldier.

I'm sure your recruiter told you all sorts of interesting warm fuzzy things. But when the rubber hits the pavement and you're actually dying from exposure to agent orange, and you actually see your comrade's outer extremities being blown off, all of that bulls**t you listened to will go out the window.

We won't liberate anyone. If the people really were unhappy, they would overthrow Sadaam themselves! You think you're gonna go over there and be some sort of hero?!?

You can liberate a POW, you can't liberate a culture. Afghanistan experienced the "honor" of our presence there, and the women are so free now with the "Taliban" gone that 91% still won't take off their burqas for fear of their husbands beating them to death.

With naive little boys like you, who needs bombs or Mulsims?...

hate this and i will love you

the opend minded Tom Morello said this:

"First of all, we should make it clear that Saddam Hussein is, absolutely, every bit the evil dictator that he is portrayed as. However, he is exactly the same evil dictator now as he was when he was a U.S. ally -- when he actually did use weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, in the Iran-Iraq war and on the Kurdish people within his own borders. At that time, he was the friend of the United States, and the United States smiled and patted him on the back.

"There's a lesson to be learned here. The United States has made friends with any thug or murderous bully who would advance short-term economic or political interests around the globe. It did not matter how much you tortured your own people as long as you kissed Uncle Sam's ass. But the second that you stop following orders, then, you know, the aircraft carriers start leaving the dock. And that is a sad pattern throughout the twentieth-century U.S. foreign policy."

Technically, we would be expanding an already existing war

by screenager Thursday, Feb. 27, 2003 at 4:58 AM

Tom Morello also said this:

"There has been a nonstop war against the Iraqi people since 1991. Since the beginning of this year alone, there have been thirty to forty bombings on Iraqi soil by American warplanes. On January 8th, we bombed ten different sites. And that barely appeared on the front pages of newspapers in the United States. But worse than that is the economic embargo, which, according to UNICEF, has taken the lives of as many as 500,000 children. Now, those kids are not al Qaeda; they are not Taliban. These are Iraqi kids who, due to the lack of food or medical care, have perished because of United States policy. That seems like an unforgivable war crime and something people should be throwing barricades up in the streets about. What the hell are our tax dollars doing going toward killing kids halfway around the globe?"

not so

by marc Friday, Feb. 28, 2003 at 7:27 AM

american foreign policy may be hard-line, but it is not responsible for killing 500,000 children. iraq's leaders live rich lifestyles in lavish palaces while their people starve, and america is the bad guy? embargos were meant to restrict and punish because of the countries mistakes (i.e. invasion). should'nt the iraqi people revolt against saddam?

one reason

by Sheepdog Friday, Feb. 28, 2003 at 4:51 PM

Why didn’t the people revolt?

Our constant bombing together with the horror of

contaminated water illness and DU poisoning has given

the people in Iraq more immediate concerns than organizing

for internal political leadership change.

Dealing with active terrorism (ours) and life on the edge of

survival has left little energy to consider democratic reform.

Remember all it took was a constructed terrorist attack on

the U.S. to change a bumbling shill for the wall street crowd

into an icon of leadership. At least to the sleeping and brain numb

television watching consumer sheep in this country.

There is no better way to solidify a rulers power than to have

hostile forces directed against the general population.

For one thing, it allows even greater pretext for repression

as in this country as of this moment.
