Have you seen any of the WWJB buttons? (What Would Jesus Bomb?) My daughter heard about them from an associate Dean at a CAtholic university!

People who are against the war in Iraq are people that support someone who gasses his own people, someone who tortures people before killing them by putting them feet first through a plastic shredder. Jessica Lynch has more testicular fortutide than every anti-war protester combined. Anti war means Anti-American. If you don't like it, you can move to the middle east and become a human shield.

Did you make that whole rant up yourself, or did your mommy help you?

You better hurry, kittykat or the Rush Limbaugh tour bus will leave without you. I think the "human sheild" people are deluded morons and I'm not a big fan of a lot of the protesters but to say "Anti war means anti-american" shows me that you have the same menatlity as Saddam.

Jessica does have a lotta testicular fortitude. certainly more than you who I assume is doing your part for the war effort by sitting on your couch and eating cheetos while watching war footage on CNN. I just want the troops home safe.

If you don't like it..

If you don't like it you can stay the hell off my freinds site and go hang out at Free Republic or the NRA.

I know you can defend yourself, roe, but this asshole just pissed me off

OK, kittykat, let's take your sublimely reasoned argument point by point, m'kay?

1. So you're saying that since I'm against the war, I'm thus pro-Hussein. How insanely extremist of you. You're conveniently ignoring, oh, diplomacy. And real diplomacy, not that sham "leave your country or we bomb" bullshit. Of *course* I'm not pro-Hussein, but I'd rather see a different way of taking him out than destroying the rest of the country. Assasination would've been nice. These people have almost nothing, and now we're bombing *that*, with no money assigned to help them rebuild. Not smart.

2. Yes, Jessica Lynch is extremely brave, and I'd be shitting if I were in her shoes. However. She was also doing what she signed up to do when she joined the millitary. You don't join the military expecting bubblebaths every day; you join knowing that you might be called onto the front lines. I've no idea what point you were trying to make other than using her name as some sort of rallying cry -- which, sadly, doesn't work.

2. Anti-war means anti-American? Where are you drawing that conclusion from? What, exactly, do you mean by that? Do you even know? Stating that I'd rather use less violent (or even non-violent) means doesn't mean I'm anti-American. If anything, I'm being PRO-American, as I'd rather not have our people over there getting wounded and killed because George Bush insisted upon a war.

Having said that, so, kittykat, since you're pro-war, does that also mean you're pro- dead Americans? 'Cause, like, that's about as logical a statement as yours, right?

Oh, and Sue -- the "WWJB" button idea *rocks!* :D

Saddam is great actor. I loved his work in that South Park movie!

Great photos. I know this topic is history now, but it's still interesting how we need heroes like Jessica Lynch... and it seems that the facts needn't get in the way of a heartwarming war story amongst all the friendly fire and dead US/UK and Iraqi troops/civilians.

Here's an interesting article about the background to the much hyped Lynch 'rescue':

(there was also a BBC documentary on the subject)

All I have to do is watch one war movie like saving private rayn and I can never stand to think of supporting war ever.
