Nawww...let him sleep! Then declare him persona non grata and make him stay over there for a bit to reflect on his actions. We just KNOW how much the Iraqis will LOVE him now that they're able to speak freely for the first time in 20 years. Unfortunately we can't do that, but it doesn't hurt to dream......hehehehehehehe Beers to all, Vinny Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Your not the lone procrastinator...I'm mailing mine in today too. I owe US$257. Yuck. My buddy just got married last year and got SINGED .... no .... SCORCHED by the marriage penalty, so I feel a bit lucky I guess. I hear somebody is proposing moving tax day closer to election day. Anyone hear anything about it?

This is very true. I think the peacekeeping and nationbuilding tasks at hand will be quite difficult. However, I do think that we will see them through to the end - more so in Iraq than in Afghanistan, though I think we will do well there too. How do y'all think the Saudi's and Jordanians will react to the eventuality of an American-backed democracy right next door? I think they won't be all that comfy with the idea. cheezeburgers, Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Jim I'm with you on this. I have never heard ANYONE in any police force say anything bad about the work for welfare program - and quite a few of my buddies are in law enforcement and the military. Tommy Thompson's program was outstanding in Wisconsin - too bad it's not instituted nationally. IRT to the public housing/section 8 thing, I've got a really complex opinion that would take several websites to fill. I believe both programs are broken, and some good points have been made on this thread. However I'd be VERY interested in seeing some documentation/sources on the folks who have problems with the welfare/work programs that have been implemented. I've heard no complaints from anyone credible up until now. Yours in suds, THE ANVIL Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I think flag-burning just shows how stupid people are. They paid money for something to destroy. The fact that they are destroying the American flag doesn't draw attention to whatever leftist cause they are promoting - it draws the ire of Americans everywhere (especially Vets). In the future, if you see someone burning a flag, throw them some Advil. If they ask why, respond "Because it must HURT to be that stupid!" I think that the vast majority of Americans who burn the flag are either dumber than rocks(no offense to rocks) or have been misled by leftist professors on our college campuses. If one looks at all of the good the US has done throughout the past couple of centuries it's pretty damn humbling in many respects.

Not the sin of all sins, but one that pisses a lot of vets off. Then again, that's only my first reaction I think the fact that one is able to do so proves how free a nation we really are. It's the protestors' right to burn the flag, and my right to have contempt for them. Rhino - loved the letter. Kick ass. Wasn't there a state somewhere that made it a US$20 fine for kicking the shit out of a flag-burner?

Amazing Saddam's goons don't put those losers on the front lines instead of six year old Iraqi children. I liked Gen.

The Palestinians SHOULDN'T change their leadership because Sharon says so. They should do so because their current leader was directly involved in the assasination of the US Charge d'Affairs of Sudan, the killing of Israeli athletes at the Olympics in Munich, and countless other terrorist acts. There is no comparision between the most militant of the Likud and Arafat. From all reports (from British, German, and US sources) I've read the Palestinian people really lack any viable mechanism with which to change their 'leadership' because the PA is an autocracy. Civilian casualties in any war are unavoidable. I do not understand your comment about Israeli troops going out of their way to avoid killing civilians. I saw no video indicating anything of the sort, and refuse to believe those who claimed a 'massacre of hundreds and possibly thousands' occurred when in reality only 50-60 were killed. Since 33 Israeli troops were killed as well, it seems odd to me that you would make such a comment. I also disagree with you about control. Neither Blair nor Bush are ever out in the street directly involved with operations. Nor would you find the mayor of a major city doing so. They govern and operate through communications - not their direct physical presence or involvement. Arafat has communications - therefore he is still in control. With regards to political representation in the West I also disagree. At San Diego St. there were posters splattered across campus portraying Palestinian baby meat as kosher food. Palestinian groups lobbied HARD during the 2002 election cycle for Cynthia McKinney(a racist from GA) and several other candidates. McKinney was called 'the strategic choice for Palestine in the US congress' by several Middle Eastern supporters. Prof. Sami Al-arian and a multitude of other professors of Middle Eastern studies here in the US (though not all) frequently lecture and lend their support to Palestinians. Several other examples come to mind - far too many to post or retype. My point is that their message is out there and continues to be broadcast. It's their modus operandi and hateful rhetoric that turn most Westerners against them. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

I'm wondering how you come to those conclusions. The restrictions of which you speak were placed for reasons - primarily AFTER the start of the latest Intifada. Time and time again Arafat has shown that he DOES have influence with those who carry out suicide bombings. The Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade is nothing but an instrument of Arafat. Hezbollah respects his opinion (I know that they do lots of charitable work as well; hence their continued popularity among the common Palestinians) and often agrees to his wishes, though not always. Even with the restrictions you mentioned, Palestinian radio stations broadcast their messages of hate to the masses. Arafat and his junta have communications to the outside world, and therefore DO have control. With regards to the Jenin 'massacre' I think you might want to do a bit of research on that. Jenin is NOT a refugee camp or village as anyone whose seen photos knows and was built primarily with US $. The Palestinian claims of hundreds of deaths was proven to be preposterous. I believe the end toll was somewhere between 50 and 60 confirmed dead. I believe the Israelis lost 33 soldiers. With regards to the education of the average Palestinian, you are again incorrect. I've travelled extensively over there and Palestinians DO wear suits, DO speak English, and DO get their message across to many. It is their intransigence on the continued existence of Israel with Jerusalem as its capital, their continued association with terrorism, their hate filled propaganda, and their refusal to negotiate seriously that dilutes the effectivess of their message. That, and the fact that their message is revolting to most people. Palestinians themselves are not intrinsically evil and Sharon has no right to say that they are. Israelis are ALSO not intrinsically evil and Palestinian radio stations have no right to broadcast that. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Dude, to get her views on Muslims and profiling and the like you'd have to go into her archives. I just sent the site where she posts her columns.

I agree with you in the abstract, but don't think it entirely correct to characterize the UN as a whole as being anti-Semitic and/or anti-American. I think that the opinions of a great number of member states - and some darned vocal ones at that - might be characterized as such. The UN's current direction is a reflection of the opinions of these member states. In contrast, I think one can correctly portray France as both anti-American and anti-Semitic. Anyone who has travelled over there or who reads the news with regularity can attest to that. They have the largest population of Muslim immigrants in Europe and by far the most leftist government (including Russia in my own opinion; that's up for a healthy debate in another thread, I'm sure). In addition to this, anyone with a passing familiarity with the French can attest to the increased animosity towards anything American these folks have been putting out since the Reagan years and even before. The Muslim comment above might be construed as prejudiced, but I tend to take Ann Coulter's view in that regard (http://www.anncoulter.org if you're not familiar with her; good reading). Cheers!

You posts are interesting dude, but let me add a libertarian perspective. We've thought the UN to be a drain on the American tax-payers for years - and a large one at that. The UN was losing credibility long before 9-11 and has continued to do so - not just for our 'friends' the French either. Anyone who gives credibility to an organization that puts Sudan, Syria, or Libya on a Human Rights Commission needs a psychiatric evaluation in a major way. Iraq and Iran are on their DISARMAMENT committee for goodness' sake. This organization is a joke. Its leadership is a joke. Its credibility is non-existent. And we give them taxpayer $$. While I think it important to have a forum for international discussion, which the UN has provided for quite some time, I do believe that the UN has gone the way of the League of Nations. Its inability and lack of resolve to enforce its own resolutions are precursors of its demise. Also, IRT a previous quote from you about the Palestinian situation, you've got it all wrong dude. The Palestinians WERE offered a separate state. They refused. Barak offered them 99% of what they were asking for - he was again refused. The Palestinian leadership[sic] do not desire any peace in which Israel continues to exist, ie. they do not desire peace at all. Is Israel non-culpable in all respects - absolutely not. However, they are FAR more amenable to a peaceful resolution than the Palestinians are. Israelis are not taught from birth to hate all Jews, that Jews eat Muslim-baby meat, and that martyrdom leads to a heavenly orgy. The facts are in, and the Palestinian leadership has been found lacking in the morals department.

I think you nailed it dude. I have a lot of friends who are cops and the media always seems to give them the short end of the stick in situations like this. Granted, some policemen do some pretty awful things as well, but I think them few and far between. You are dead on about the photos - the weapons DO seem to have been employed correctly.
