...we're fighting the wrong fight? What's not answered? We have gone
into what is essentially a para-military situation with full bore
troops and equipment. Our enemy is small and very light on their feet,
we are larger and more ponderous in our maneuverings. They are
****table, we are static. I am not a military expert, but this
administration has not been paying complete attention to the advisors
they have.

...it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Bubba was flying ***** in and
out of Arkansas.

...are you sup****ting Bubba or not? Personally I didn't care for the
way he thought he could get away with anything just because he had the
office. Bush is the same way, only no where near as smart.

...it isn't just me that is "going down that path". There were
irregularities in the voting process both in 2K and 2K4. That is fact
and to deny it is to stick your head even further into the sand. We
probably can't do anything about Bush now, but the problems can be
pointed out and steps can be taken to ensure they don't reoccur.
