OMG! Listen to what Bill Hemmer just said with a straight face!

Regarding Iraq: "How much money can really be spent on Water, Electricity and Sewage when basic security needs are not met?"

1. Better question:

"How long will the invading hordes attempt to repress and occupy Iraqis before they give it up and leave without the oil they came to steal?"

(my prediction: 6 years, 8 months, three days with 35,000 Americans killed, 200,000 maimed)

2. I bid 35,001.

We're playing the War is Right, right?

[speedoo]

3. Actually one of his more intelligent comments.

"Pretty Boy" Hemmer is undoubtedly the dumbest person on any cable network.

[Raiden]

4. Agreed n/t

Almost as bad as that ditzy Paula Zahn.

6. that's saying a lot, remember Paula Zahn

and Darryn Kagen, and so many more lining up for that title.

7. so happy that I don't even know his name

but that guy on MSNBC has got to be dumber than a box of rocks. He makes Hemmer look "intelligent."

Know who I mean? He's got a pretty-boy-TV-face, but his eyes are a scared vacuous pool of idiocy. His basic demeanor, except when reading direct text, is d-u-u-h-h-h-h.

8. I still like "Potsie" Hemmer

In honor of the character Potsie in Happy Days TV show. :)

When Potsie Hemmer starts trying to make a story sound big, big, I usually fall asleep.

5. And how are they going to meet security needs?

Bring back Saddam and let him have his way with them?
Unless they kill every citizen of that country, the US will never "secure" that place. chimp's PNAC world policy is a discredited farce.

9. I think it goes like this: "Hey people, just chill the fuck out..."

"THEN we'll give you back the electricty, drinking water and let you stop wallowing in human waste."

10. The generals and bremer tried this with the tribal chiefs

for months and months. For some crazy reason it doesn't work that way. I guess it's different than the average US ghetto.
