Oh, those French! Somehow they are managing to get their citizens
Edited on Mon Jul-17-06 10:32 AM by Democrat 4 Ever
out of the middle of a war zone while Chucklenuts piddles away at a hog roast. And does anyone look less "Secretary of Statey" than Condi? She is scared sh*tless to leave her husb...I mean, the President's side to do her dang job. Think what is needed right now is Ambassador Joe Wilson to protect our people and get them out.

Watching MSNBC this morning evidently it is going to take an act of God, mobilizing the 101st Airborne (oh, wait, are those guys still in Iraq? Damn.), good weather and a permission slip from somebody to get the Americans out safe and sound. France has been moving their people out for the last two days and the US is still trying to come up with a plan. Ya think some of those people stuck there hunkering down trying to avoid the missiles are getting a taste of what New Orleans people went through less than a year ago? There is no situation (including "Mr. President, our country is under attack.") that this administration can't find a way to screw up. This administration couldn't organize a child's birthday party without f*cking something up or getting someone killed.

Apparently every embassy has emergency evacuations plans but somehow we just can't get a move on to get US citizens out of a war zone. (Aside - wonder which one of Chucklenut's Pioneers got that Ambassadorship as a thank you?) I hope everyone gets out safely but I am constantly amazed how inept this bunch of clowns are at everything they do.

Watching the breathless MSM airheads rattling on and on about getting Americans out while every other country in the world are just doing it. Maybe during the hurricane season we could put France on speed dial.

2. Heard an interview this morning of a mother whose teenage daughter
is over there. She was crying saying that it was the daughter's birthday and she called her to say she had bought some clothes from Limited Too. Her daughter just cried and said she didn't want clothes, she just wanted out of there. Very sad.

And * continues to eat pig.

3. Just saw a video on CNN of a delegation with that distinguished looking
French envoy to the UN arriving in Beirut. (Sorry I cannot find a photo, story or his correct name.)

The French are moving - where are the fake Amerikans?

4. Exactly - why does it take a week for the "greatest nation in the

planetary system" a week to start thinking about getting a cruise ship to get people out? And, a cruise ship? Who in the cruise ship industry has the goods on Chucklenuts? They used cruise ships last year to house hurricane people at the cost of something like $3,000 per person, per week. Sounds like just another no bid, private contracting opportunity for Chucklenuts and Dead Eye's friends.

I just wish one airhead would pose the question of why it is taking the US so long while they are running the video of other nations' citizens reaching safety.

6. Halliburton must have a cruise line under their "umbrella."
Of course acting like a fool at the G8 occupied the Chimp.

Condoho had to be near her "my husband."

Those Amerikans shouldn't have been in Lebanon in the first place.

Let them eat cake! :sarcasm:

5. Arbusto's policy: do nothing. Eat pig/cake/whatever, and wait till
the waters recede. A more sinister possibility is that he is using the Americans there as bait. When they get hit/killed/kidnapped, it'll be time for the next new war. Totally justified this time - as every time! :grr:
