Gag me with a pitch fork!! How about a pork sword instead?

yeah, but can you free solo Orbit off the couch with a watermelon tied to your ass??? Depends on the watermelon.

Until they do, here you go Johhny: 100M Free - 1:52.72- He even won his heat. Yeah for the record, I can beat that while swimming in BDU's and LCE and carrying an M-16.

Wow. The US just really fucked Georgia. We got em into this mess, now we are getting them deeper too.

When the track events start, I will keep you posted kiddo.

Any one who qualifies and competes at that level has my respect regardless of what they bring home. Name one event you could currently qualify for before you start spewing. Depends on what country I was from ace.

I used to live in the Baltics and have many friends from Georgia; some of whom are in the military right now.

When your balls drop.

Really. I dont hear about daily attacks on American soil. Which news is reporting it? If you are referring to Americans being attacked in Iraq.....do you blame that county? If Iraq occupied America....would you want them out? Did they attack us on our soil? Before we occupied Iraq. If it were Iraquis, then no; but it isn't.

It was a reference to the "jumpers in the door". Old Airborne paratrooper saying.

We must eliminate these people's abilities to vote in order to save them from themselves. We will start a new political structure that is based on collective work for collective gain. I just can't think of a catchy name for it. Anyone have a good idea?

1) No. We are battling an insurgency 2) Insurgents; mostly Middle Eastern foreigners 3) Yes, daily. 4) Syrians, Pakistanis, Iranians, ect. Any more questions?

I have no idea what the overall missions are for any given war. That is waaaaay above my paygrade. What I do know though is that there are fundamental differences in the ways that Russia went about their incursion and the way we went about ours. We notified the international community and listened (though we didn't heed their advice). We also had reconstruction on our minds; to make the country a better place (hopefully) than when we got there. Also, just because some people in our government to something wrong, doesn't absolve Putin for his wrongdoings; escpecially the violence and complete disregard for any wartime conventions.

I ran a marathon on saturday. It was hot and shitty. My balls look like a peeled blood orange.

Its the same word in another language

During the synchro-dive, after the slim chineese divers came on, the canadians were up next the anouncer said: "...and here is the less streamlined canadian team." Bahahahahhahahahahahahaha

Mire yourself in semantics my dear chap. See where it gets you...

Did someone fly planes into the twin towers and the pentagon previous to 8 years ago? The world has changed. That our way of life is relatively unchanged is quite remarkable as I see it. Tell me....what does planes flying into buildings have to do with our occupation of Iraq? Last time I checked the 19 highjackers were all from Saudi Arabia. WTF? What does Iraq have to do with what I was talking about kiddo?

They are controlling them. This is just another example of Russian politics. Say one thing and do another. Georgia is not the 'good-guy' but Russia is most certainly the bad guy. There are no innocent parties in this debacle, but there are some fairly extreme wrong doings going on right now on behalf of the Russians. Georgia is playing a propaganda game, blowing the Russian actions out of proportion, hurting their credibility and possibility of having the West come to aid; militarily or otherwise.

Re: What are the differences between Iraq and Vietnam?

I have not commented on Russia at all, and if you read my post you will see that I don't "stand behind" Clinton's decisions re: Kosovo. My only point was that you righties keep bringing up Kosovo as the worst ever application of the American military, yet if you look at what happened there, the results (questionable as they are), and the reaction of the rest of the world, it stacks up OK (not great) against virtually every US engagement for the last 30 years. And yes: you are right that it is not over yet. But in what way have I compared Iraq to Vietnam, and what was wrong with the comparison? How about the culture of the indigenous people Matt? Mending intra and inter-sect conflict is perhaps 90% of winning peace in Iraq. Now show me some correlations with Vietnam. The Mountaignards? Please.

I don't doubt that trigger happy jar heads can't wait to get some action in with a real enemy. Go git them commie bastards, boy! Since you dispatched those towel heads in Iraqistan with such ease, god-less pinkos should be a pushover. Quick , get Rummy back in the Pentagon to formulate the war plan. Semper fi. You seem like a violent person. I suggest a peace keeping mission and all you can think about is killing commies. Perhaps you should go back to playing counter strike and have your mummy bring you another hotpocket and mountain dew.

It s about time! Those people...Oh. You mean the oil.

Oh, and that is not anything like you calling Iraq like Vietnam.
