What do you know about the war? I mean other than the death count?

And of course from your position of having all the available knowledge you
can make proclaimations like that all day long.

That's what I like about you experts. I can always rely on your knowledge.

Why don't you repeat what you wrote to me? That somehow the fact that the
oil companies making 7% profit (before paying for new development) is bad.

Warmonger Dumbassbag,

This is for sheeple like you:

http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.asp
Göring Interview, Gustave M. Gilbert, Nuremberg Diary, pp. 278–79
'We got around to the subject of war again and I [Gilbert] said that,
contrary to his [Göring's] attitude, I did not think that the common
people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and
destruction.'--GG

HG> "Why, of course, the people don't want war. [Göring shrugged.] Why
would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the
best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one
piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia
nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is
understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who
determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the
people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a
Parliament or a Communist dictatorship."

GG> "There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say
in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United
States only Congress can declare war."

HG> "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people
can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All
you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger.
It works the same way in any country.

> You're the king of non sequiturs. Go back to ranting and raving about
> pigs, but just for fun why don't you look up deflation first.


Oh, I did. I decided fears about sticky wages and menu costs are
bullshit.

In your service experience in the USAF, were you ever in any actual ground
combat or did you just learn to salute?

That sounds kind of familiar. Perhaps he got reincarnated as Cheney.

He learned how to shine his boots and fold his underwear- and do what
he was told. Been there, done that. People in the military may know
how to do what they were trained to do- shine shoes, clean and operate
weapon systems, etc but the vast majority of them know little of
history or world events, especially now that there is no draft.

Not just Cheney- Rice, Rumsfeld and Bush all used the same technique.
Göring was right, and we've all seen plenty of examples of the
gullibility of the average American. Now here's a recent example from
what's-his-name- Kuntitch- about the Iraq war:

"Tell me, what exactly do you know about it? Do you suppose that our
leaders simply flipped a coin and went to war? Or maybe they had a
great deal more intelligence than you or I have and knew something
that we don't know and probably will never know?"

Ah yes, the wisdom of our glorious leaders. Like Göring said "It
works the same way in any country."

Thank everyone who supported Bush in the 2004 elections. Thank them
for it all. It was obvious by then. So they're culpable. If anyone
sees Danny Callen or Mark Hickey, thank him for this mess.

France, that's the place where American cyclists go
to get framed for banned substances after they win the TdF.

Oh sorry, didn't mean to interject something about bike racing
here on 'Politics Today'.

There you go - John Tomlinson - the person who believes that John Kerry
would have been a better President. The man who had been given a
dishonorable discharge and lied to the American people about where he was
and what he saw.

Don't forget to thank the DNC folks for giving us totally shitty
options too. Once again we've got a race with noone worth a shit in it
from both parties. How the hell they could've found someone to
actually lose to Bush at that point was pure genius.

Sheeple! I like it. And I've used that Goering quote myself, along
with "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". -Samuel Johnson
April 7, 1775

But again- dumberassbag- when did you ever say anything that made any
sense?

What a wishy-washy, chickenshit flip flopper.

First, military service is what entitles you to an opinion, then it's not.

Whatever's convenient, right Tom? Not like you've got any ethics or
morality. Typical neo-con.

Oh bullshit. Grow up. Every democrat running was orders of magnitude
better than what we have.
