I don’t see how you can be both for the war and support the troops. Imaginary WMD is worth the killing of so many Iraqis and Americans? A corrupt culture like that of Iraq is going to turn into a democracy? The Iraqis are going to love us after so many of them have been killed and maimed, their infrastructure and cultural assets demolished?

Must really get your pink panties in a wad to see the Al Qadea and Taliban getting the crap beat out of them.

Their ‘infrastructure and cultural assets’ consisted of a 40-year dictatorship by a megalomaniac who produced mass graves, killed 5000 Kurds with ‘imaginary’ nerve gas, placed dissidents in torture chambers and prison, and supported terrorist organizations.

And since you’ve brought up the standard lie about “imaginary” WMDs:

1,500 gallons of chemicals believed destined for attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces and civilians.

1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium and roughly 1000 highly radioactive sources.

Those weapons were previously unknown to the U.N. inspectors.

Okay alphonse, you can go back to playing with yourself.

Great line! As retired Navy, I got the ‘dirty swabbie’ treatment during the VietNam era, but it wasn’t like some of the other things I read/heard about. What is this country coming to?

Imaginary WMD

When is this lie going to stop? How doltish does one need to be, to continue believing that because we didn’t find giant silos bristling with missiles below a sign with 5-foot lettering reading ‘WMD HERE’, there weren’t any? You do know that a Sucrets box with plutonium in it is just as destructive, right?

The unhinged moonbat idiots that do this only do it because they know that our military personnel are extremely disciplined and won’t kick their butts from one end of the block to the next.I do think that our military men and women should carry cell phones with cameras so that they can identify the perps and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. If that doesn’t work then maybe we need to ask the Patriot Guard to start patrolling the metro so that a huge biker whose also a Vietnam Veteran can stand in between the anti-war coward and the hero.

It’s been a long day, so I’ll keep the rest of my comments short:

Terrifying and sad, yes. Alternatives? I don’t see any.

Staying tuned here in my nice, safe house. Maybe I’ll take up knitting.

Personally – I would like to see some of these morons in a life threatening situation – then see who they call for.

Some anti-British Navy loons tried to swim across a bay (I think) to do some vandalism to a naval base when one of them got seperated. After searching for a while guess who they called for help rescuing their idiot friend?

The nearby British Navy.

I used to run into a crazy person on the Metro about once every six months, but haven’t seen one for two years. Something got ‘em, I guess.

Now, DC has it’s share of lefty loons. Back when the anti-war movement was cooking, I went to about ten “peace” marches and found plenty of uncivil behavior. The marchers were particularly enraged at counter-protestors who they cursed and yelled at, kept away by a line of police. I’ve been physically assaulted twice by “peace” demonstrators at “peace” marches. By contrast, nobody laid a hand on me in anger in eight years in the USAF. So there are plenty of “peace” thugs in DC.

Even so, I believe that these incidents of abuse toward service members, however infuriating and outrageous, are anomalies rather than features of the DC Metro. My guess is that a guy in uniform is in more danger of sleeping through his stop than being harassed by anybody.

However, even though military members in uniform can’t fight back, the rest of us can should such a situation present itself. There are a lot of vets riding the rails in DC. It seems unwise for the lefty scum to choose it as their battleground. Things could go horribly wrong for them. And really, we’ve had enough of that.

On a brighter note, it was nice to see all the folks giving the troops nods and salutes at the Omaha airport when I picked him up for Christmas.

SERIOUSLY, IF YOU SEE THIS HAPPENING HELP THE SERVICE PERSON OUT.

FEEL FREE TO INTRODUCE THE OFFENDER’S HEAD TO THE DING KING.
