chuckakers 425 #3 March 4, 2009 That's what I was thinking when I heard the Messiah make that speech. Leave it to Stewart to nail it. When B.O. said the remaining troops wouldn't be cambat troops I thought "so, we're going to have cooks and clerks train and support Iraqi combat troops and hit select targets????" The video clearly shows yet one more subject that gets the Messiah double-speak.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuckakers 425 #7 March 4, 2009 Quote Why is there not more outrage over this from bnoth sides? There is outrage from the conservatives. Unfortunately, besides Fox News, there isn't a television outlet for conservatives, which is the medium that most influences people in the U.S. (a sorry statement in itself). This is a classic case of "if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention". Most Americans are too busy watching fat-asses lose weight for prizes or a gaggle of skanks competing for the attention of single man to realize what's really going on. And that's just the way they want it.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues, Dave Don't have a connection at home? It is just John Stewart taking the piss out of (love that expression) Obama's Iraq pull out and comparing his speech to one W made in 2007 and pointing out similarities. It is really worth watching. I'm surprised this thread isn't getting more attention. The silence is deafening.www.FourWheelerHB.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanG 1 #11 March 5, 2009 I'm pretty disappointed in Obama's plan. I would prefer we pull out much more aggressively. I'm hoping that he's setting some limits and then intending to have the actual withdrawal come in well under those limits, but I'm not holding my breath. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably because people presume from the title the thread is about (a) an ancient civilization in the region of the Tigris and the Euphrates, or (b) some Irish potato famine. Or, maybe it's just you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirana 0 #15 March 5, 2009 That guy is the best shit going. Funny, intelligent, good looking; he's got it all. Might I suggest a link? In another thread I've ranted that the whole western world is essentially very liberal, regardless of the insidious devisive self-identifying labels people like Rush, Franken, and company put out. This video is clear evidence that even the relative opposite ends of our supposed political spectrum are nearly identical, at least in the results they generate and words they spew. So why do we continue to bicker and argue about the conservatives this and the liberals that? Why do we insist that we are so different when we are in fact so similar? And now, the rare double-link: Because we like to argue. Putting people down is America's favorite entertainment. Witness the most popular forms of television. Combat cooking, combat landscaping, combat comedy, combat modeling, combat makeover, combat design, combat singing, combat family swapping. A whole plethora of shows for which the strongest common thread is people ripping each other to shreads verbally. It's not enough that they simply compete. The real entertainment is that they strut around cussing and dissing each other non-stop. And the American public just laps it up. I'd try a triple link but I'd probably hurt myself (don't bounce like I used to). I think that counts folks - my first triple-link.

wmw999 2,447 #16 March 5, 2009 Quotewhole western world is essentially very liberal If the whole world is "left" that probably means that you're not in the middle. Often people can perceive far smaller differences among things they are familiar with than things they are unfamiliar with. Therefore, they tend to magnify the importance of those small differences (because they understand them), and lessen the importance of the larger ones (because they don't).
