"I'd rather fight them over there than over here...."
Edited on Tue Jun-15-04 12:17 PM by kentuck
How can you argue with that? "NO, I 'd rather fight them over here. If they can invade this country - after all the money we are spending on Homeland Security and national defense - then we need to have our asses kicked. And as soon as we withdraw our forces, how many will have nothing to do and will invade our country and kick our big, fat asses? Ooooo-ooo....aren't you scared? We'd better send some more young people over there so those terrorists don't come over here. Boy, I'm glad someone as smart as George Bush is in charge. I sleep well at night just knowing he is protecting me.....uh-huh..."

2. My answer to that little Meme is "What's stopping you?"
The military is accepting enlistment papers right now. Go get em but don't try sending me or mine to fight your war of aggression.

17. I'll Go Ya One Further...I'll Buy Their Plane Ticket To Baghdad
One way, of course!

Also notice how these same "heroes" either have a relative in Iraq (yeah, ok) or just came back (yeah, ok again) or works for a company involved in "defense" (yeah, the 7-11 across of a National Guard base).

These John Wayne wannabes are the biggest hypocrites once you corner them in their own twisted illogic.

Cheers!

3. The greatest logical fallacy ever!
Edited on Tue Jun-15-04 12:16 PM by boobooday
Don't ya just love how they give you only two choices. Like it never occurs to them that maybe while we are fighting them over there, they COULD STILL BE ATTACKING US HERE TOO!

Not to mention how offensive it is to send our young people out to shake hornet's nests.

But they LOVE their logical fallacies. Like "allowing gay marriage will eventually, inevitably lead to people marrying German Shepherds."

I thought they wanted to prevent marriages between dog breeds. Now I can complete the marriage preparations for the marriage of my pug to my yorkie. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

7. So why isn't he over there fighting?
Or for that matter why isn't his nephew George P. Bush over there fighting?It seems he would rather wait for them to come to him.

11. You don't have to fight them over here, they aren't coming here
I'd rather fight them over there than over here...."" is stupid.

When did Saddam have an invasion force? The terrorist can't be stopped by an army. They will come here precisely because we invaded Iraq.

13. and yet it astonishes me how many people buy into it.
...... it helps having the VP STILL making unfounded statements that there was a link between OBL and Sadam.

Id' rather fight the Repugs over here than anyone else.
For some of the sheeple, nothing in the way of proof is needed.
Of course its stupid.

15. Exactly what was said during the Vietnam War
and after it ended amazingly no Vietnamese came "over here"..... How do they figure the Iraqi's will get here? By their airforce? Nope, don't have one. By their Army or Navy? Nope, don't have those either. More stupidity from the galatically stupid.

18. Nonsense ... I would fight them over there if there was a real threat
But there wasn't.

That is the key there was no imminent pressing threat to the security of the United States of America with Iraq.

Period. End of goddamn story.

Geez.
