#1 Doncha love it when politics and the military come together?

I heard some cr@p about how that base was put there to make it hard on Taliban logistics. Heck, they didn't even know it was there until some of the locals told them about it.

How's that reality check coming?

#3 This Video is Taliban Propaganda. Of all the things that CNN COULD be showing the Public they CHOOSE to show Propaganda made specifically by the enemy. They Help the Enemy to spread the Democrat point of view to Uptail. Do you get the impression that CNN is an Uptail sort of place, or is it just me?

Do you get the impression that Obama himself is an Uptail? He seems really comfortable with bowing and kow-towing. And he seems just the man to kiss a Frenchman's butt.

The Military put nine men in a barrel in the mountains and said "Whack me!" It looked literally like fish in a barrel, what did it look like to you.?

Those men all died because their leaders were STUPID. Perhaps they were Democrats. They were Army, I assume. I cant believe that Marines would have actually gone down in that hole and put their butts up and waited to have them painted.

But then the US Army has pretty uniforms with danglies and foo-foo all over it. (You want to die, join the Army.)

Find the Officer who ordered those men in there. Send him to New Jersey to sell shoes. Maybe he can get a job stacking cans of vegetables at the Super Market.

Better yet, send him to Outer Whatzit himself and leave him for the next Taliban who comes along. STUPID people dont live long in Combat.
Dont you just love Officers who chew gum?

And lets see MORE Propaganda ( isnt that a good idea). Get CNN right on it.

And Obama? Well, ( you elected him) He's still taking his time with your sons ass.

How does it feel to watch CNN and help them make a buck off your dead baby? Is the head dead yet, get the widow on the set.

Journalists are not your friends. CNN will make some dinero playing in American intestines. Hey look the American guts draped around their Democratic Party neck have the appearance of a Moslem kaffiyeh.

Lets REMEMBER. Its not the Moslem's fault they kill people, its because we "insulted" them and their religion of Peace. Its OUR fault. They get "stressed" and CNN just wants to help them find a way to be happy. Are you easy to kill? Did you remember to wear your sweater?
