… the murder of those innocent Iraqis who have believed in us.
The only time I ever saw my father sob was when the US pulled out of Southeast Asia. He saw all too clearly the horror to come….

And when I was in grade school, I couldn’t grasp who these Laotian refugees were that came to my town and how they would be so far away from where they had lived…
You don’t know the half of it Muchacho. I was a young recruit then, and leaving those folks behind removed the rose colored shades. I often wonder if my plan to plant bi-polar elephants in country had been approved, if things might have turned out differently.
Still, assignments in E. Europe and our stunning success there helped rectify things. This whole WMD thing though, has been a bit of a black eye.
But don’t you see? What matters is that we repudiate a lame duck president, no matter what the cost in American and Iraqi lives. Did I just hear the Blues Brothers repudiate the President? Never mind.
TW: I know that 14 is the age of consent in DC, and that if I interview DC families I can easily extrapolate a murder rate of 5,ooo,ooo/yr in the US.
Ah, yes. I don’t know what the fascination is with leaving people behind.
Maybe there really is no fascination at all, like much of evil, what strikes one most poignantly about it is its banality.
They ‘care’, but they really don’t think about those people over there.
Unfortunately, their blood is on all of our hands, God have mercy.
Keep on’ keepin’ on, my brothers in arms.
Thank goodness we let the Commies win in Vietnam so they could go and stop the killing in Cambodia.
Sure, they were a little slow, but not as slow as the U.S. has been in Dafur.
Lord, someone vent the thread… its beginning to smell like monky.
Btw, Tex, the training dummy has arrived.

Monkyboy: You little bitch. You’re still on timeout. Back to the basement.
If monkyboy is the training dummy, Olaf, then the Guild needs to tweak the AI. Remember, AI needs to demonstrate…ah…intellegence!
Tell the geeks to quit trolling Tara Reid websites and get crackin’!
C’mon, man, you’re not being serious. Blaming the US for Darfur is pure comic genius.
My humble apologies as it appears that I forgot to change the batteries on my Yuks Detector. it was drained by all of the parodic genius coughed up by the wonderful comedy troop “The Trollitites.”
Hey, isn’t Darfur a suburb of Cincinnati? That makes it a state problem. DAM YOU, OHIO!
I wasn’t blaming the U.S. for Dafur.
I just thought it was funny that the poster thought:
1. The U.S. withdrawl from Vietnam caused the slaughter in Cambodia.
2. If the U.S. had still been in Vietnam when it started…we would have done anything about it.
I assume this post has something to do with the idea that if we pull out of Iraq, some kind of civil war will start.
Actually, the civil war in Iraq will stop when we cut and run.
*****YUKS DETECTOR NOW OPERATIONAL*******
BWWWWAAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Olaf, tell the Guild that the new Clueless Irony chip is in perfect working order! Well done!
The man’s been through solid matter, for crying out loud. Who knows what’s happened to his brain? Maybe it’s scrambled his molecules. All I’m saying is, Mr. President, let’s not panic.
Holy shit! Clueless irony cloaked in sarcasm. A two-fer!
Watch out, Witheld, monkyboy is here.
You would be wrong. The post is about abandoning, once more, people who have placed their faith in us only to end up losing their lives for it. The deaths in Southeast Asia were not the result of civil war as you may have erroneously been taught. Civil war is different from slaughter. Back to the basement.
“Violence will break out in Iraq if America leaves!”
It’s not bad material.
Not quite as funny as
“We’ll be greeted as liberators!”
or
“The Insurgency is in its last throes!”
but still worth a chuckle.
