Asshole. Does this over-the-top raving qualify as having invoked Godwin’s Law?
We find ourselves facing the paradox of the “good German” of the ’30s. We’re ruled by an evil, non-elected warlord who ignores both domestic opposition and international condemnation. We don’t want the soldiers fighting his unjustified wars of expansion to win–but we don’t want them to lose either.
Our dilemma is rendered slightly less painful by the all-volunteer nature of our armed forces: at least we aren’t being asked to cheer on reluctant draftees. Presumably everybody in uniform knew what they might be in for when they signed up.
Go read all about why we shouldn’t support our troops, from Bill Maher’s favorite guest.

A fellow poster on my favorite Yahoo group got into an email discussion with Rall. She tried to keep things reasonable and logical, so of course she was immediately frustrated by his condescension, stupidity, and refusal to believe facts. I told her it was a sign of her intelligence that she so quickly realized it was impossible to have any sort of debate with him.
He’s such a loser.

Does this idiot (and other liberal idiots) realize that we are not waging wars of “expansion.” We aren’t going to rule Iraq, we are going to liberate it. The Iraqi people will choose their leader, and I dare say it won’t be an American. It’s not about oil either. That’s the only resource over there, so no matter who runs Iraq, we will still have to pay for the oil.

A while back, one blogger (I wanna say Herbert at Cointelprotool) e-mailed Rall back and forth asking for his evidence for one assertion he made in one of his columns about Afghan civilian casualties. Rall kept insisting he got it from CNN but wouldn’t get into specifics. The blogger never found it and Rall was no help at all.

Um, village idiots are suppose to be funny. This guy is just a moron.

Interesting how Ted Rall can be arguing that the American government is expansionist in ideology, but also complains that America is ready to leave Afghanistan on its own without support of our troops. (Which is it Teddy boy?) If the US is expansionist how can it also be a negligent babysitter? He needs to get his thoughts together before he rants and raves at an administration that he would rather berate than understand. Village Idiot or not, Ted Rall is inconsistent and insulting.

You guys are so sick. I can’t quite believe you so happily agree with the nonsense Bush’s corporate buddies are feeding you all. Have you lost your brains? It’s not about moral values and virtues etc… It’s about dough! Have you ever seen a political leader with pure intentions? A single one? International politics nowadays are about special interests. Bush is no exception, just a weak and influencable moron.

Sadly, George “aWol” Bush is the idiot of the biggest village in the world. Why people voted for him is the greatest mystery of the 20th century.

Ted Rall has actually been to the countries he talks about, met the people, been on a friendly baiss with them. Bush, on the other hand, is a dumb Texas cowboy who never stepped out of America before he became president. The moron is proud he doesn’t read newspapers, for heaven’s sake, which should convince everyone except the most stupid how we need to haul him out of Washington. Add to that he’s a goddman religious maniac( though he tries to disguise it on the advise of his handlers Cheney and Rove). I mean this loon actually thinks he’s getting orders from the Heavenly Father. He thinks God told him to invade Iraq…. can we afford such a madman in power? NO, and anyone who disagrees with me is as crazy as Bush is.

Um…jackofnice? Where did you hear about God informing GW to invade Iraq? That’s news to me.

George Bush never stepped out of America before he became President?
I guess China is part of the US now? Or does spending only a month in a foreign country not count?
He’d been to Canada, Mexico, Israel, Egypt, Gambia, England, Scotland, Italy, France, and Bermuda. How many of those have YOU been to, jackofnice?

Well it seems Bush is setting up american stooges as leaders of the New Iraq. The Iraqi governing counsel is hand picked american lemmings.
This is why the Iraqi militiamen, ordinary iraqis, are fighting the Us occupation. Just like the colonists fought their british occupiers.
The Iraqi people should be allowed to freely choose their form of government and the people they want in government. The US is forcing unwanted representation on ordinary iraqis at the present time.
Why wouldn’t an election work ? Because ordinary Iraqis would not choose any of the american stooges.
Get a clue people. We are taking part in an illegal action in Iraq. Its illegal to form governments in foreign lands.
