#1 weâve got to invade every dictatorship, topple every autocracy and occupy every patch of soil where evil tyrants oppress their people, especially in the Muslim world.

Why do I find myself agreeing with Rall?

#2 I sense Rall meant this in the "we can't do it all, so don't do any of it" way.

#3 Is it OK with Ted if we help the Iraqis in their effort to stop killing each other before we move on an invade about 67 other countries simultaneously? I guess Ted doesn't understand th concept of working towards a goal with patience. Once you leave childhood without basic skills, its very hard to become a rationale adult down the road. Mony others swear that they learned everthing they ever needed to know in Kindergarten. Obviously, Ted played hookie quite a bit as a youngster.

#4 Hey, Ted! Can you say, "priority"? I knew you could!

#5 Anything less than complete success is total failure, eh Ted?

#6 Try this Ted, go to Al Anbar Province and tell the first soldier you see to "stop picking rose petals from his/her jacket." When that young man or woman, who has been living day in and day out under attack or threat of attack, gets through kicking your sorry ass around the block, then we can all have a good laugh.

#7 Ted sounds an awful lot like Kerry and Dean. We either have to topple every tin-horn dictator at once or we are doing it wrong. I would like to present another stategery (yes Bush said it) that may be in the works here. If you eliminate some of the bad guys, the rest will fall in line. Donât believe it? Ask Mr. Khadafi or Mr. Bashir. Both have been VERY cooperative since we plucked Sammy from that spider hole. North Korea has all of a sudden had second thoughts about turning South East Asia into a Nuclear standoff. When we (god help us) elect a Ted Rall to the office of President then he can demonstrate his enlightened strategy, but until then I am comfortable following George W. Bush.

#8 Is anyone else irritated by Rall's use of the collective 'we' and 'our', like he's a member of the 4th ID? Complete asshole barely begins to describe this 'man'.

#9 A true idiotarian. In WWII, he would have ranted against taking Okinawa because we hadn't captured Truk.
