You know, if you're looking for work and believe in a cause, why not
volunteer to work for that cause?

Indeed. The Dems who left to become Republicans were the ones who wanted to
continue the policies of racism. Guys like Strom Thurmond. It's retarded (yeah, I
know - it's Kunich, but it still needs to be said) to try to claim that the Democrats
have moved to the left - the Republicans in the high levels of Washington power have
moved to the right very hard (and claimed they haven't moved - Ha!)

**** Cheney still gets a salary from Haliburton. It may be deferred, but he gets
it nonetheless.

Look on the bright side. If McCain gets elected you'll be able to
post a Mission accomplished +100 post from Chile.

Just a URL, nothing else. Not even a "Is this
acceptable".

The monkey trolls by picking at his threads like
they are bleeding zits. This is an infinitely more
elegant approach.

RBR is heavily populated with retards. A measure
of this is the number of responses to posts by
Kunich, a form of intellectual masturbation that,
even for me, can be difficult to watch. And, like
masturbation, it's not very fulfilling. Yet people
still do it. A lot. Go figure.

Tell me Asher, did you spend any time in the service?

Not billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars. If you think
real hard you might be able to figure it out. Not many rat holes where
that much money is being dumped.

What a moron. Just for my personal amusement I'm going to *briefly*
explain the economics of oil. Here's a graph of oil prices from 1947
to 2007. Note that every time there was a war in the mideast the price
of oil soared:
http://www.wtrg.com/oil_graphs/oilprice1947.gif

Note that oil was at ~$25/barrel when Bush took office. Now it's over
$100/barrel.

Now, according to you, in 2001 oil companies were making a profit of
7% pumping oil out of the ground valued at $25/barrel. Then the
friends-of-the-oil-companies in Washington used the 9/11 attacks as a
pretext to start a war in Iraq, right in the heart of the mideast oil
producing region. As always, this caused the price of oil to soar. Not
just oil from the mideast, but oil produced everywhere, like the Gulf
of Mexico.

Today, the oil companies can pump oil from the same well and sell it
for over $100/barrel. The result- record profits. There, I done
learned you sum "arithmatic".
If you want to delve deeper into it, take a couple of semesters of
economics as I did.

Dumbassbag,

It is any guvmint.

When did I ever say democrats weren't as big or worse warmongers than
republicans? War is the health of The State, and democrats know that
as well as republicans. Democrats only dislike the wars they are not
in power for.

Picking at zits isn't very satisfying either.
In fact, it usually hurts. However, people
just can't stop doing it. It's like Everest -
"because it's there." The same applies
to replying to Kunich.

Dumberassbag- when did you ever say anything that made any sense?
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.

No, but then I'm not advocating that other people spend years fighting an
unwinnable war. I guess I want young men and women to serve their country,
not be used by its military.

That makes more sense. I couldn't figure out why the French would care
about how many U.S. servicemen had been killed in a war they thought was a
colossally stupid idea to begin with. Seeing the flat line for French
troops killed in Iraq will make them feel better that they elected such a
dickweed for president. I know I would feel better about electing a
dickweed for president if the graph of servicemen killed in a war I thought
was a colossally stupid idea was a flat line.

So, this is a great idea. Maybe Robert could make up a chart and send it
to the French. Do we have their address anymore?

Your job is to train a retarded neural network in basic atmospheric
science.

Sisyphus would like to know if you are keen to swop jobs ?

I spent 4 years in the service and I don't advocate that other people
spend years fighting an unwinnable war either.

But it's not that this war is "unwinnable", it's that it was
unnecessary and counter productive. So I would say "I don't advocate
that other people spend years fighting an unnecessary war." The
Republicans used 9/11 as an excuse to hijack our armed forces for
their own political purposes, and they have totally bungled the job.
This makes us look weak in the eyes of our enemies, which is a
calamity which will have long term consequences.
