David Jenkins III &nbsp;&nbsp; July 4, 2003  <br><br>  <br><br> All right already, that is more than enough! What the hell were you thinking? Were you thinking? Have you completely lost your mind? Is there anybody out there keeping an eye on you, kid? I really hate to rant but I just can't let this go.  <br><br> July 2 - \"There are some who feel like that conditions are such that they can attack us there,\" Bush told reporters at the White House. \"My answer is bring them on. We have the force necessary to deal with the situation.\" - Reuters  <br><br> July 3 - A day after President Bush asserted that coalition forces in Iraq were prepared to deal with any security threat; American troops came under attack again today, with 10 soldiers wounded in three separate incidents. - New York Times  <br>  <br> George, the macho routine - and I do mean \"routine\" - has got to go. The fact that we have kids getting killed because you lied is a travesty in and of itself. Now, once again, you start up the he-man schtick and people start getting hurt - and worse. Haven't you or any of your people learned a damned thing?  <br>  <br> \"Bring them on?\"  <br>  <br> Exactly what is your problem?  <br>  <br> Are you bothered by the fact that you were not man enough to actually serve when it was your turn? Are you making up for the fact that you couldn't even fulfill your cushy assignment back in the early '70s because you were a blooming mess and couldn't pass a urine test? What, now you feel the need to talk tough so nobody will question what an actual coward you are? You are a coward, George. We saw that long before 9\/11.  <br>  <br> Your cowardice is the reason for what we now know as \"First Amendment Zones.\" You know those heavily policed, barricaded, way-out-of-the-way places for people who voice their accurate opinions of you. They're usually placed so far away from where you appear that you can be assured you'll never see or hear any dissent.  <br>  <br> And we all know why.  <br>  <br> Because you're afraid of confrontation in any form. You've been a scaredy-cat since you stole office! Hiding under canopies and limiting access by the press as well as those who abhor you and know you for the fake that you are. George W. Bush, you have given birth to a new phrase!  <br>  <br> \"He-Man in Hiding!\"  <br>  <br> We all learned - well, most of us did - what a pathetic excuse for a \"president\" you are when you did the old \"dead or alive\" nonsense when it came to Osama bin Laden. \"Smoke 'em out,\" you said. Mister big man.  <br>  <br> Well, President Bounty Hunter, where the hell is he?  <br>  <br> Hasn't it ever dawned on you that if you hadn't instructed people like John O'Neill to lay off investigating bin Laden prior to the attack, none of that 9\/11 stuff would have happened? Is that why you're hiding over 800 pages of the investigative report by the Senate?  <br>  <br> So, Mister Dead-or-Alive&hellip;where the hell is Osama?  <br>  <br> Oh, you thought we forgot?  <br>  <br> Y'know, George, it takes more than just talk to make you a man. It takes more than just talk to make you a leader. Sure, you have the ever-obedient sheep in the liberal media who are stretching things to the max to make you look good. Lucky for you, most of the people who rely on American media for their information are idiots who actually think that that aircraft carrier landing was something to be admired. You need to remember one thing, George.  <br>  <br> The world is not your Congress.  <br>  <br> Just because most of the representatives in both Houses believed every lie you told doesn't make everybody else just as compliant. Just because the lap dogs at Fox \"News\" wet themselves every time they mention your name doesn't mean the rest of the world community - including many of us here at home - buy your carefully manufactured machismo. Your testosterone complex is trying our patience and - worst of all - killing people who have ten times more cajones than you could ever hope to have.  <br>  <br> For Chrissakes, George, you didn't even have the balls (excuse me) to land in Iraq a few weeks ago. No, you did a fly-over. At least your puppy, Tony Blair, had it in him to walk among the people in Basra. But you? You pathetic chicken. You ran and hid like you did on 9\/11, Mr. Tough Guy. You are an embarrassment - and worst of all - you're a dangerous embarrassment. Your bravado is killing people.  <br>  <br> \"Bring them on!\"  <br>  <br> You pompous S.O.B. - you spoiled little chicken \"stuff\" brat. Please, please, please, shut your stupid mouth! Your cowardice is killing Americans. And Iraqis. Your big, stupid mouth is not helping the huge mess your lies have created! The world is not Old West Texas. You're not even Texas! Every time you open your big mouth either somebody gets killed or wounded or the stock market falls. Your big mouth just got ten people wounded! There's no telling what your oral nonsense will produce tomorrow.  <br>  <br> Shut up, George! You're killing people, you coward!  <br>  <br> *******  <br><br> Hey guys, I don't know about you but I feel a heck of a lot better now - at least I can breathe. And breathing always allows me to be a little creative.  <br>  <br> A few months ago, Americans were told to buy mass quantities of duct tape to protect themselves from those who would do them harm. I know there just have to be many, many rolls of duct tape out there that have gone un-used. And&hellip;  <br>  <br> I have a great idea.  <br>  <br> The next time George W. Bush decides it's time to get macho, somebody - please - oh please, grab a roll of that duct tape and wrap it around his whole head. You'll save a life and protect our national security.  <br>  <br> It's the patriotic thing to do, the only thing to do.  <br>  <br> Copyright 2001-2003 AmericaHeldHostile.com.

Last Wednesday, in an impromptu White House press conference, a reporter asked the president about the guerrilla attacks against American servicemen in Iraq. Here's what the president said, according to the White House transcript:\r\n\r\nThere are some who feel like that if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they're talking about, if that's the case. . . . There are some who feel like--that the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring them on. We've got the force necessary to deal with the security situation.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/news\/releases\/2003\/07\/20030702-3.html\r\n\r\nThe Washington Post reports that Bush's &quot;bring 'em on&quot; remark prompted much whimpering from Democrats. &quot;I am shaking my head in disbelief,&quot; said New Jersey's former former senator Frank Lautenberg, who by the way served in the Army in Europe during World War II. &quot;When I served in the Army in Europe during World War II, I never heard any military commander--let alone the commander in chief--invite enemies to attack U.S. troops.&quot; Lautenberg added that Bush's comment was &quot;tantamount to inciting and inviting more attacks against U.S. forces.&quot;\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/articles\/A1617-2003Jul2.html\r\n\r\nDemocratic presidential candidates got into the action too. The Post quotes Dick Gephardt as saying he's had &quot;enough of the phony, macho rhetoric.&quot; Howard Dean complains that Bush &quot;showed tremendous insensitivity to the dangers&quot; the troops face. And the Washington Times quotes John Kerry, the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat, who by the way served in Vietnam, as calling Bush's remark &quot;unwise&quot; and &quot;unworthy of the office.&quot;\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.washtimes.com\/upi-breaking\/20030704-092507-7742r.htm\r\n\r\nFor crying out loud, these guys want to be president, and they're puling about &quot;macho rhetoric&quot; as if they were candidates for the chairmanship of some university women's studies department. What would President Kerry say if he were in Bush's position? OH MY, YOU'RE HURTING OUR SOLDIERS. PLEASE STOP! PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP?\r\n\r\nYou don't defeat an enemy by putting your sensitive, vulnerable, nurturing side on display. And a little swagger is essential to the warrior culture. Consider this anecdote, from a Time magazine account of besieged Marines in World War II:\r\n\r\nFrom the little band of professionals on Wake Island came an impudently defiant message phrased for history. Wake's Marines were asked by radio what they needed. The answer made old Marines' chests grow under their campaign bars: &quot;Send us more Japs.&quot;\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/sampler\/article\/0,8599,128081-2,00.html\r\n\r\nThis quote turns out to be apocryphal; James Devereux, the Marine officer who sent the message, would later explain that it was garbled. But as David H. Lippman notes, &quot;The propaganda story boost[ed] American morale back home and Marine recruiting.&quot; If today's Democrats were around in 1941, no doubt they'd be tut-tutting about Devereux's insensitivity to Asians as well as his machismo.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.usswashington.com\/dl13de41.htm\r\n\r\nBesides, David Warren notes that there's a very good reason to want to &quot;bring them on&quot; in Iraq:\r\n\r\nWhile engaged in the very difficult business of building a democracy in Iraq--the first democracy, should it succeed, in the entire history of the Arabs--President Bush has also, quite consciously to my information, created a new playground for the enemy, away from Israel, and even farther away from the United States itself. By the very act of proving this lower ground, he drains terrorist resources from other swamps.\r\n\r\nThis is the meaning of Mr. Bush's &quot;bring 'em on&quot; taunt. . . . It should have been obvious that no U.S. President actually relishes having his soldiers take casualties. What the media and U.S. Democrats affect not to grasp, is that the soldiers are now replacing targets that otherwise would be provided by defenceless civilians, both in Iraq and at large. The sore thumb of the U.S. occupation--and it is a sore thumb equally to Baathists and Islamists, compelling their response--is not a mistake. It is carefully hung flypaper.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.davidwarrenonline.com\/Comment\/Jul03\/index150.shtml\r\n\r\nFlypaper, i would add, that seems to have entrapped the president's domestic opponents as well as the country's foreign enemies.\r\n","author":"Ffutal","parent_id":69949,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-07-09 11:51:03","modified":"2003-07-09 11:51:03","fileurl":""},{"id":70883,"heading":"BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!","article":"&quot;There are some who feel like that if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely.

I will not extend that assumption to a deserter and a Coward who sends them off to die so that he can look macho and acquire more money and power.\r\nOf course your response is much more palatable than \u201cYour son died so I could feel Macho and George Bush and the Carlyle Group could make a Killing\u201d.\r\n\r\n\u201cAnd YOUR view is that Hussein was innocuous? That he\u2019s never done us ANY harm? \r\n\r\nWho exactly is the US to which you are referring? \u201c\r\n\r\nPlease Cite any attack against American Interests or Citizens that can be attributed to Hussein. Cite the evidence proving such.\r\nYour question is nice and inflammatory but \u201cwhere\u2019s the beef\u201d?\r\n\r\n\u201cThe man has started three wars, gassed thousands of Kurds, committed genocide, filled mass graves with women and children, AND YOU claim he is harmless. \u201c\r\n\r\nA. I did not say he was harmless. I implied that there was no American National Interest involved. Certainly the Fed did not want him to finish converting to Euros as his Oil Currency and American Oil Interests want CONTROL of the Iraqi Reserves. (Note that the Iraqi Oil Ministry Building and Records were put under Guard while the U.S. Command allowed the Iraqi National Museum to be Looted.)\r\n\r\nB. He did not Gas the Kurds. That has been disproven so many times that I cannot believe you still believe that piece of disinformation. If you do there is only one word that applies: Sucker.\r\n\r\nC. The Mass Graves were those of Shiite Rebels who rose up in Rebellion, at the behest George Bush I - who then provided NO SUPPORT allowing them to be slaughtered. They were mostly ADULT MEN. Other bodies falsely Cited as evidence of Mass Murder were those of IRANIAN Soldiers KILLED IN COMBAT with Iraqi Forces in the Iraq-Iran War. You are just furthering provably false PsyOps and Disinformation when you use that inflammatory line. It might work on someone who has not studied the actual reports and available data in the Public Domain but I will name it for what it is: BullShit.\r\n\r\n\u201cYOU don\u2019t think it\u2019s a worthy enough cause to give YOUR life to remove that sick autocratic tyrant from EVER having the ability to carry out another atrocity! \u201c\r\n\r\nDepends. Give me a realistic scenario and I will respond. I despise tyrants and I am not arguing Saddam did not need to be deposed. That however, is not the rationale upon which the Deserter-in-Chief sold this War.\r\n\r\n\u201cWhat is wrong with YOU? Do you not have a soul? \r\n\r\nYou are selfish, self-centered, misguided SOB.\u201d\r\n\r\nWhy do you say that? Because I am opposed to Phony Wars sold with Phony Rationales so that a bunch of already Wealthy Psychopaths can acquire even more money and power? What a strange world that you live in that you think that killing innocent people somehow makes the World a safer place. Your rationale is not even close to Sanity. \r\n\r\n\u201cAnd your 911 conspiracy theories are the reason there is a predominant lack of substantive debate on this issue around here. \u201c\r\n\r\nSo, who did it based on What?\r\n\r\n\u201cWhen you premise your arguments on prevarication and degeneration there is really very little of substance left to debate. \u201c\r\n\r\nCite your references ASSHOLE. You are the one engaging in a LIE when you make this claim. You are so afraid of facing the truth that you have been had, continue to be had and don\u2019t want to have to, like a MAN, face up to the harsh realities involved. I DON\u2019T GIVE A GODDAMN how good you are at Combat Skills, you aren\u2019t the only one, but that does not you have to go out and start committing mayhem at random to make yourself feel like a man. A real Man finds the correct target and does what is necessary. That may or may not require force. And you don\u2019t shrink away from where the FACTS take you no matter how much you would prefer it to be otherwise.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn fact, that\u2019s the whole problem with attempting to engage liberals in cogent dialogue of any kind. We end up conceding a vast majority of lies just so we can address the ones of Holocaust-denial proportions. \r\n\r\nIt\u2019s really a mess. \u201c\r\n\r\nBabbling to the end you cite nothing of any substance and just call names like an angry little boy who is tired of being reminded that it is time to grow up and face the real world beyond the playground.","author":"Diogenes","parent_id":69949,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-07-10 15:06:36","modified":"2013-11-11 00:23:48","fileurl":""},{"id":71164,"heading":"Don't do it","article":"stop pouting.
