Well, appropriate if we were questioning whether to liberate Turkey from Iraqi occupation.

its a decent analogy, except it does overlook the differences in the scope and magnitude of the two conflicts.

You call this funny? History is happening all over again because we haven't learned anything and you think it's FUNNY?

Not to mention that this president isn't at all like that president.

Is It OK to Hate Bush?

too bad most of the stuff mentioned at that bartcop.com article didn't even happen. hell, half of it has an entry at snopes.com. i can't talk about anything at the SFGate article, because i make it a point not to read anything that comes from San Fransisco.

My attempts to calm Tora down don't seem to have been effective. I predict 3 months before she steals a tank and proceeds to attack the White House.

I volunteer to drive.

A self propelled gun would be better, then you can start shooting from 20 miles away....

And I'd like to extend a hearty welcome to the Treasury Department/Secret Service search engine experts!

Piss... On.... Them....

Besides, I am easy enough to find through that damn FBI database anyway....

That'll be me in the AH-64 with the Hellfire antitank missiles, then.

Pop up, fire, drop down. Repeat until target is roughly the consistency of spaghetti sauce.

Sure ya' would, Rob. It'd be okay, tho, the Secret Serice would shoot you down. "Damn, it's that nutty librarian with dreams of world conquest! Shoot him!"

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on October 21, 2002 06:12 AM:

No, no, no, snay. You don't get it. I'd be working FOR them. AGAINST the folks in the tank.

I did pretty good on the simulator... but my brother way outclassed me. Of course, he had a lot more time to practice.

Of course, I've already sent a copy of this entire thread to rewardsforjustice.net. [Big Grin]

I could use the money. [Razz]

You want Tora killed?

For shame Rob...

No, Rob, I get it, I just don't think the Secret Service would like you running around in a helicopter armed with missiles, given your world domination plans. So they'd shoot you down, and call it a day.
