A sign for the ages

Where's Osama, Yawn?

Compared to the tens of thousands of troops in Iraq ... we've got four guys in a Jeep in Afghanistan ...

 

Uh-huh.

 

That's the first time I've seen that smiley face ... almost woke the wife up laughing ...

 

That's my new response anytime Yawn posts something. I'm trying to get everyone to play along.

Sorry, but the administration gets no "credit" for this obvious response to 9/11.

If you leave the car unlocked and a wallet in the seat and someone steals it, you probably won't leave the door unlocked with your wallet in plain view anymore. Not really a "smart" decision on your part, just an obvious one.

Likewise, if someone does hijack a plane, there is a 99 percent chance the passengers will simply overpower the guy, regardless of whether he is armed. Because whatever happens --- even if he manages to kill a couple of people before he is taken out --- is better than crashing. Once again, there is nothing "smart" about it, just obvious after what happened on 9/11.

Our awareness of terrorism and our foray into Afghanistan were obvious responses that would have occured under any Administration, even Jimmy Carter.

It's the other things --- Iraq, leaving Afghanistan undone, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, secret prisons, wiretapping without warrants, torture, unilateralism --- that have separated this administration from what a competent one would have done.

 

Here's another sign idea:

"If you're our stoolie, or our mistress, we'll get you $80K pay raises"*



* - All legal and public fallout later are on you

 

Who came away from Gitmo with anything other than hurt pride? Phyiscal injuries? No. Koran in the toilet? Hell, some of you would do the same with a Bible without blinking.

Again, you must not overdo it on those sensitivity training seminars.

If you think wire-tapping wasn't done in WWII, you're nuts.

Well, not even if.
