This follows on a King revelation posted a couple days ago that Baghdad is like Manhattan and Mosul is like Disneyland.

C'mon lil' Peter - get off your man-ass and go.

3. Well since 95% of Iraq is mostly sand

technically he's probably not that far off.

5. drat!

beat me to it!

8. lol

:rofl:

17. Also, Don't Drilling Rights Go To The Mantle?

So, in cubic measurements, it's probably even higher! Of course, Petey King wouldn't have the foggiest notion of how to think in three dimensions.

4. if Iraq is 95% desert

and uninhabited, then I guess he could have a point.

[Kagemusha]

15. A lot of it's sand but not 95%. No, King's just an idiot.

Like that is news...

6. How 'bout you go outside and take a walk in Baghdad, Pete.

We will fucking raise the money for a plane ticket to Iraq if you'll walk for an hour in Baghdad's neighborhoods with a big-ass sign on you announcing you're an American politician.

[me b zola]

7. Isn't he the idiot who said that he would take his family on a vacation

Isn't he the idiot who said that he would take his family on a vacation in Iraq? :crazy:

Get him a bigger microphone. The more the Publicans speak the more their lunacy is apparent and people are catching on.

[Marr]

9. Repubicans like to look at things in terms of acreage.

Yes, almost all the open desert is peaceful. All those miles of empty land? Totally secure.

They do the same thing here in the states when they show you a red/blue map. "Look at all that red!".

[whistle]

10. From their own mouths they will condemn themselves

11. Peter King

(R-Delusional)

[Nite Owl]

12. He's always been a nut

but he's gone over the edge now.

Is he your congressperson? I've seen the race getting pretty close, I'll be second happiest with his lose (we got our own slime in NY20)

[Renew Deal]

19. Yes he is.

Sadly to say. Hopefully not for much longer.

[npincus]

13. What happened to Mordor? Santorum (R - Buh Bye)

[lapfog_1]

14. In the video... he says (essentially)

Iraq is stable except where it isn't.

and you never quite know where the instability is.

And he was in Iraq in a convoy traveling along a highway and was almost killed
by a roadside bomb, BUT the convoy went on into the city and that was perfectly
stable.

So... let me get this right... it's stable except where it isn't and that's 95 percent of
the country at any given time. Except the pockets of instability move around all the time.

That's a great piece of logic right there.

16. I used to think this guy was somewhat sane

I was wrong.

[AIJ Alom]

18. The public knows that the Republican Party is out of touch with issues

that concern Americans, Peter King just proves this point to the 100th power. One has to ask is this man even in touch with reality ?

[Renew Deal]

20. It's 95% secure.

Only 5% is exploding at any given time. Get it now. :banghead:
