In reply to the discussion: I'm a little scared. I need some hugs tonight. [View all]Dragonfli
(10,622 posts)99. It gets worse Manny, I was like you a few days ago when I first heard of the threat to our security
Threats to my security make me feel very insecure, add to that that the revelations that there are weapons in existence that can kill me and I tend to lock my windows and doors and hide in a small hole I have dug under the floorboards in my bedroom.
I have not left my hide hole in days and the reserve batteries to my flashlight are nearly out, I fear the growing fear that will ensue when the only light I have left to keep my fear in check is the light from this dim old computer monitor.
I know I can move the floorboards out of the way and ascend to the house proper for some more batteries and supplies such as clean water and food, but dare I risk it?
......
I think not,
now that I know that I am next on the list to be gassed unless a brave proactive warrior like Obama can save me, I think I will continue subsisting own my own urine and feces a few days more (tho it is doubtful I can take such terror that long).
The tremors are getting worse (makes it so hard to type, thank Obama for spell check) and the nightmares are of the waking variety, I don't see how any sane man could be expected to hold out as long as I have, let alone much longer.
I have heard that the UK will not act with Obama to save my life and that France may allow me to die by gassing as well...
Obama is my only hope, but the fear that he may not be allowed to save me unilaterally has me believing that perhaps I am already dead...
There is some rat poison a few feet away under the kitchen floor, I am not brave enough to take this imminent threat to my life much longer, if Obama can not blow up the country that wants me gassed to death within the next few hours I feel I must succumb to the inevitable and choose the rat poison to the few remaining days of torturous fear I would have left before the gas is dropped on my house.
It was an honor to know you my brave friend, if only I were as brave as you I might be able to hold out for our hero.
I am sad we shall never meet...
...I hear the poison tastes like almonds, perhaps it will be a gentle, kind sleep that awaits me.
Thank the President for me if he saves the rest of you, we are not all of us strong enough to survive such fear and impending danger, I know he is doing his best to expedite the bombs that could save my life so I blame my own weakness and not his heroic resolve.
Your friend,

They're going to deliver the payload via tiny model ships. They should be here in roughly 8 months.

You know, it's possible to critique the President without being glib about the deaths of children.

Do you support escalation? Do you think Congress should be involved in the decision?

So 'glib' is your complaint? But it is ok to exploit the dead to build up interest in making more

Yes--I find that being glib about a Sarin gas attack is a facile, and ultimately not helpful
