Maybe they’re hoping that Saddam supporters will give themselves away by slapping a cop. ---

Ya know **december** , I voted for Bush. I supported the war in order to rid Iraq of WMD. I know that I was taken though. I put my blind trust into what the gov’t said (I know, how naieve), and they lied to me. Bush lied to me. I don’t understand how you can support 100% anything they say and/or do. Just because they do it, doesn’t make it right, and in this case it could make things for our soldiers over there harder. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by december \* > I know you’re only joking, **minty** , but it’s jarring to see Bush referred to as “the enemy” at a time when we have real enemies who are trying to kill as many Americans as possible. My god, won’t somebody please think of the Americans! ---

Let us taunt them! They may become so cross that they will make a mistake. ---

And as long as Iraq is occupied by foreign forces the conditions are there for more of the same as we can see happeneing every day. This is exactly what many of us predicted would happen and those in favor of the invasion said would not happen. Now, it’s happening. december has been denying it was happening as evidence that president Bush did the right thing in invading and now when he cannot deny it any more then he uses it as evidence that president Bush did the right thing. In other words: If the Iraqis do not fight the Americans, it is a sign that president Bush did the right thing but if the Iraqis _do_ fight the Americans then it is a sign that president Bush did the right thing. ---

Why does this remind me of Rocky IV, when Rock let Drago beat the shit out of him until he was too tired to stand up. ---

Because, at times, I serious question the sanity of the Bush supporters. Seems like no matter how much dung the Gov pours down their throats, people like **december** eagerly await in line with mouths wide open. Jeeesus H Christ! You’ve just fucking **invaded their country, killed and maimed thousands upon thousands of them** under **false pretenses and outright lies** and you _expected_ them to greet you with “open arms” while you tell them what to do and how to act in their **own homes**? Talk about a disconnect with reality. In that sense, openly ridiculing the manhood of one of their own should come as a suprise to no one. Imbecils. The whole lot responsible for this mess. And murderous ones at that. ---

They would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling guerillas. ---
