via Ace - yes it has a name - it's called victory:
Yes, this is a significant success, and it comes less than 24 hours after the deaths of two other Al Qaeda leaders, one in the Hilla region of The Triangle of Death, which I reported yesterday, and another one named Ali Latief al-Falahi, who was killed just north of Baghdad, which I didn’t even have a chance to report yet. They’re just killing these boys too fast.
Unfortunately, as we're seeing played out in today's headlines, while perhaps not yet assured and always hard fought when it's a victory that really matters, victory in Iraq has no home within the Democrat Party of today. And that single factor more than any other could prove to be their downfall when it comes to winning the presidency in 2008. Because victory does have a home among the American people. It always has.
We started in late September 2006 with 28 members in the "910 Group," our citizens' network. In six months, we now have over 1,000 active members in 40 U.S. states and 21 countries, organized through online communities. In March 2007, chapters began to meet locally and organize public education campaigns in several nations and U.S. states.
The Center for Vigilant Freedom Inc. is a non-profit organization. We have applied for 501c3 tax exempt status. We are developing a comprehensive website and content management system. In the meantime, these pages provide background information on this fast-growing international citizen's network.



Perhaps you should consider taking out the leaders of the other 59ish insurgent groups before declaring 'victory'. Then your leader can put on his flight suit again!

What is this Democrat Party of which you speak? Ironic considering you just laid into a democrat for their improper use of language.
Posted by: TheSpartan | Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at 05:53 PM
aaaaand so it begins. the same boneheads who ruined the perfectly nice word "gay" for us by deciding it'd serve as a replacement for "homosexuals"; and are desperately trying to bury the hated word 'liberal' with the doesn't-quite-carry-as-much-baggage 'progressive'; are now informing us that it's now to be called the "not *democrat*!' party.
to hell with THAT. if you let them control the language, you'll find that sooner or later, dissent will be considered 'hate speech'. (see the recent newsweek screed on the "global warming deniers".) (shakes head paternally) liberals! is there ANY freedom they won't try to stifle??

All I'm suggesting is that you consider calling it by it's proper name, otherwise you run the risk of sounding like a moron. Of course I guess that's par for the course for the Repugnicant Party.
Posted by: TheSpartan | Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at 10:44 PM
victory in such a war is an illusion of fools. The price of democracy is eternal vigilance, but it's a small price to pay for freedom. Too bad wingers don't see it that way. They dream of one day never having to shit the bed over the terrists.
With technology's expansion, terrorism of one form or another will never go away. Two al-Qaeda deaths is a "victory"? The title of AQ doesn't even have much meaning anymore. You should read what OBL has said about using the title Al-Qaeda, something to the effect of "All we have to do is raise the flag of AQ in one corner of the world and the US will rush their, wasting many resources and men."

"All I'm suggesting is that you consider calling it by it's proper name, otherwise you run the risk of sounding like a moron."
Really. So I guess when we start to write about the Democratics in the Congress the linguistically purist Spartan, won't object? "Today, several Congressional Demoratics offered a bill to allow the Government to purchase automobiles for illegal immigrants so they can get to work on time." That about right, Spart? "Ms. Pelosi said today that the Democratics oppose widening this war and any other war." Have I got it?

My what grim assessments. Guess you don't agree with this and will vote for Hill in the primary eh, LOL?:

No sense trying to defeat the Japanese. They are too powerful and would never accept democracy.

Lets thank the 'Decider' for finally admitting that Iraq is his Vietnam.
Posted by: chris | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 09:22 AM
No you don't Mr christamfordmum. He used that in a context. The context was if we run out with our tail between our legs, a humanitarian disaster could likely be the result. Remember now, Mr christamfordmum, the new word is no more PVC pipe in the trunk.
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 09:59 AM
George Bush couldn't spell context. Let us congratulate the Vacation President on admitting that he has his own Vietnam. Quagmire accomplished!!
Posted by: chris | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 10:16 AM
Mr christamfordmum, even many in your own party now say the surge (a military operation) is working. Their negativism now is centered on what they feel is the failure of the Iraq civil government (you know, sort of like the failure of the new Congress of which they form the majority).
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 10:24 AM
Surge?? 4 1/2 years and Baghdad isn't even secured. Face it, hero - the Iraq adventure is lost. Thank your 'leaders'.
Posted by: chris | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 10:30 AM
"4 1/2 years and Baghdad isn't even secured. Face it, hero - the Iraq adventure is lost."
Mr. christamfordmum, I have done my best to hide my heroic deeds from the internetting world and now you have outed me. How dare you. But I forgive you. In a way I admire you. Striving mightily against the envy, spite, and daily disappoitment that wells up within your dome, you fight on for your domed, er, doomed cause. Fight on and be an example to your fellow Democratics, even as they desert you in droves.
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 10:56 AM
I hope, Mr. christamfordmum, that I don't have to point out to you the alliterative device that so peps up my poignant prose, eg, done, deeds, dare, daily, disappointment, dome, doomed, Democratics, desert, droves. Eloquence at thew highest level. Now if only I could spell.
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 11:06 AM
F, my fellow alliterative,
It would be my honor to check your spelling.

Posted by: Phoenix | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 01:44 PM
That is a generous offer, your ladyship. Since Dan provides spellcheck it really isn't my spelling that is at fault most of the time (except when the misspelled word is another word spelled correctly, as in too, to, two, for example.) I regret to say it is carelessness on my part and being over-anxious to see my humble efforts in the white, hot spotlight, as it were.
I do not forget this and your many other kindnesses, my fellow American.
If we were not a thousand miles apart, give or take a few hundred kilomters, I could swing by this evening with a couple of bottles of cool Piper-Heidsieck and you, your favs and I could watch a sunset and discuss new times.

"If we were not a thousand miles apart, give or take a few hundred kilomters, I could swing by this evening with a couple of bottles of cool Piper-Heidsieck and you, your favs and I could watch a sunset and discuss new times."
Good Lord, it sounds like a redneck soap opera.
Response:
"I will leave the porch light to my trailer and my heart open for you, most darling Fred. Just be careful of the rusting Chevy on the front lawn. The nearest clinic that has tetanus shots is miles away. Til then, my love to you, my darling."
Posted by: chris | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 02:36 PM
Hahaha. That's right Mr. christamformum, flirtation in a romantic locale, such as Stamford's quaint downtown, which is as empty after 7:00 PM as your head.
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 02:49 PM
Wait, there's more:
"Your ladyship, it would be my distinct honor to rendezvous at your palace-on-wheels. I shall bring my Dale Earnhardt LIMITED EDITION commemorative mugs from Arby's and we shall toast our future together. If you are amenable, we may then spend the morning strolling the aisles of Walmart, looking into each other's eyes as fine Chinese-made goods are discounted all around us."
Posted by: chris | Thursday, August 23, 2007 at 02:57 PM
hahaha.............. Damn you, Chris. I was going to ask him about his horse.
F,
My fine Knight on a Seque with a mane and tail,
Let us invite Sir Lardass to fan us in our passion. Wal-Mart has lovely ones on sale this week.
I await the sound of your galloping steed with moistness.
(MY moistness...not your steed's. dangling participles - damn them to hell, I say.)

I gaze up, my dear, to see the moon rising above the Blue Ridge...wait a minute, that's not the moon. That's the enormous and sweaty head of the BoobinBridgeport. He's trying to spy on us.
Posted by: Fred Beloit | Friday, August 24, 2007 at 08:43 AM
Finally:
"Oh Fred, I am so glad to have found you. I want to go back to the trailer and have you meet the kids. They never had a daddy of their own. I'm afeared that one is pregnant (again) and the other is looking at prison."
Posted by: chris | Friday, August 24, 2007 at 12:58 PM
mighty bold satire making fun of whitey, there, chrissie. *mighty* bold. way to stick it to the man, comrade!
but now comes the acid test. there ARE those who - having read your asinine, childish drivel before - those who will say you're just a typical gutless liberal attacking easy targets. (trust me on this.) to show those people that you're *NOT* just another profoundly cowardly halfwit slogan-chanting liberal with low IQ, you're gonna need to show some consistency & intellectual honesty.
your post above shows that you have no use for poor no-count folks living in trailers and havin' babies they cain't afford none too good. fine. now complete the equation, girly-man: let's see you make fun of poor no-count **black folks** living in the *projects* of newark, say, with 3 babies by 3 men. looking at the prospect of becoming a grandmother at 28. at visiting her sons in prison.
c'mon, tough guy. show us what you got.

and the bans wearily strikes up the "theme from 'final jeopardy'" for the 5600th time, waiting waiting waiting for chrissie to muster up the balls to answer ....
Posted by: bloodrage bob | Saturday, August 25, 2007 at 06:48 PM
I might volunteer the idea that chrissie (of the 5,340,935 various sock puppets he/she/it uses) is simply one very misanthropic person?
But a gutless liberal nonetheless, because in Liberal camp, it is ALWAYS right to dump on whitey or the Patriarchy, or the Evil Norteños/European Aggressors™ who stole Aztlan from the Red Man and the Brown Man....
... but if they so much even look askance at any non-white males... it's "off with his head!!".
The truly ironic bit here, is that chances are VERY good that chrissie is a white male.
Twisted, inin'it?

liberal self-hatred is a topic with limitless study applications, seek. we can figure out *WHY* they hate themselves so - teacher taught them to, and they're too gutless to ever defy the will of the fearsome godlike figure known as "teacher" (teacher might flunk them!!) - but divining a cure is a lot tougher.
in the meantime, only one thing to do for liberals determined to destroy themselves, (and much more importantly, their country), by hating their own cowardly guts: **we** should hate them too! also, encourage them to become homosexual as to discourage breeding. ("you're much too smart to be straight, chris/bob/LOL/etc"). 'neutering males' is a well-known strategy in the control of other troublesome insects. i see no reason why it wouldn't work on liberals.
