Good stuff. I'd seen some of those before. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

OK. Boortz was talking about this in his daily diatribe, but I can't find it on either CNN or Fox. Think what you like about Boortz' political views - the man doesn't make stuff like that up. Anybody got a source or hear anything about this? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Will we be able to camp out overnight there or are there still curfew concerns? That's a long drive from Jacksonville but I'd planned on making it. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Do you really want me to compare and contrast Ann Coulter's vitriolic prose vs. Ted Rall's? Pick your Coulter article. Coulter went to the Dem Convention and frequently appears to face her opponents live on TV. Actually, she's a far better writer than speaker, speaking of her on TV. Think Rall will pass out his cartoons to the 75th Ranger Regiment? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Think that if you like - I know better. It sounds like you might have served on his staff in some manner as a low field grade and gotten a couple of good OERs from the man. What the hell does a man's political leaning have to do with his performance as an officer? One of only two officers I know who is a democrat happens to be one of the best tacticians, leaders, & managers that I know. And what evidence have you given, exactly, other than touting zero casualties and extolling Clark's pre-Kosovo influence on future planning? Zilchoooooo...Zeeeeeroooooo...nada...EmptySet. But you're right - I have made up my mind based upon what friends have told me and what I've read. From what I can discern most operational aspects of the Kosovo campaign were executed exceptionally well. I'm really chuckling at this. 'Failure' is your terminology, not mine. I criticize Clark and mention that his performance in Kosovo didn't impress me with his acumen of strategic troop alignment and you - who I assume to be a senior Captain or Junior Major who served on his staff - have for some odd reason taken this up as some sort of crusade to convince me otherwise with regards to Clark. I'm glad you're glad. Happiness makes the world go round. I'm glad I'm not either, because I'm a happy engineering manager - and sometimes still engineer when required. We're both happy and the world is a better place for it. What the hell makes you think I would have an OPORD on file? Three of my best Army buds were in the Balkans. A few Navy folk as well and a Devil Dog or two. Granted, the majority of the military officer corps is conservative and most officers I know have an intense dislike for democrats and their policies. Your whole tirade in defense of Mr. Clark is quite odd to me. Disagree with me on that if you like. How about telling me why we SHOULD maintain the current force alignment in Europe/Korea? Tell me why Clark is right. LOL.

Good for you! Oh really? I think not. Yes, actually. If you do as well then you, of course, should realize how many perturbations post-9/11 has caused in the long term sked and therefore know that any scheduling done while Clark was still in uniform bears little if any resemblance to any current schedule. Or planning based on said schedule. He would never have worn his third, much less his fourth and have command in Kosovo had he not had a great effect on it. I've done so and maintain my position. I don't recall, but know it was low, if any. Could have been zero - and I truly hope it was. I don't really know why it's sequitur, but feel free to explain that to us. My Army friends disagree with you wholeheartedly to a man - at least those with whom I've discussed the topic. Rangers, Intel guys, infantry bubbas, and even a signal corps fellow I know. I'd love to meet Mr. Clark and debate him. Always a pleasure to destroy a Rhodes scholar in a heated debate, though it's not often one has the opportunity. I'd love to meet El Jefe Clintonista as well - without his wife.

Good post dude! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You should read his book, A National Party No More. It's more of an explanation of his beliefs and a political autobiography than a slam-fest on the democrats (anyone looking for the latter should read an Ann Coulter book, as Mr. Miller will disappoint them). Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Perhaps you could - Ann Coulter comes to mind immediately, though she's of an intellectual caliber far above those I mentioned previously. 'Tis not I that am stating that the Democrats are vitriolic and insinuating Republicans are not. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Out of passions grow opinions...and out of those opinions convictions...and 'tis convictions that are far worse enemies of truth than lies. PhillyKev - you are the epitome of Nietzche's aforementioned hypothesis. Democrats not as vitriolic indeed. Have you not read idiot-boy Rall's latest column, listened to any of Gore's, TeddyK's, or sKerry's speeches, or Julian Bond's latest diatribe? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Look at the author. Referring to our soldiers as hapless saps. Lying Liberal Coward Rall shows what an ass he is yet again. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

LoL. Could be. I think we'll see a large shift of forces from Germany to Hungary. Kennedy I believe hit the nail on the head with his observation on the Korean Peninsula. Boortz had a good sKerry flip-flop on that this morning: http://boortz.com/nuze (also interesting slam on a SwiftBoatVet towards the end of Boortz' commentary). The current European force alignment is based upon a Cold War paradigm that no longer exists. Beers, Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Did you even read my initial post? If you were there then by all means post some of sKerry's reasoning, as I asked in my intitial post. I made the post because of sKerry's inane arguments against the troop realignment. Once I've seen specifics on the realignment itself - I'll make my own final judgement. Quite a bit of what I've seen makes sense in many respects. I'm really unsure as to whom you were talking with regards to Mr. Clark's performance in Kosovo, but being quite familiar with the military - especially the Navy - and having friends in the officer corps of all branches I assure you Mr. Clark's performance in Kosovo is not well regarded. Then again, I haven't discussed it with any flags - perhaps you have, but I doubt it seriously. Quade actually challenged me to read the Weas' book and though it's on my 'to read' list I haven't done so yet. Perhaps when I finish Steve Coll's Ghost Wars, which I'm reading now. With regards to Mr. Clark's in-depth knowledge of force structure today, take a look at his retirement date and then think really, really hard about how the force structure and posture have changed since then. Then rethink your opinion.

Shut the hell up Anvil! You are stupid and nobody reads your posts! You fart on the plane! You drink all the tequila at parties and leave none for margaritas! And you grouched the liquor store owner today for being out of Herradura Reposado! I mean what a lousy sonofabitch you are! How the hell can you stand to look at yourself in the mirror? I know! You are too short to LOOK at yourself in the mirror without a set of phone books to stand on! Bwaaahahahahahahaaaa! You stupid JACKAAAAAAAASSSS!!!! Oh. Wait. Never mind. Forget I said that. Republicans can be cool when they're not being idiots about drugs. Or overly religious zealots. Yours in agave, Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Why the hell would I want to do that? FUCK THE DEMOCRATS! You said it Kennedy! Er...OK. I can say some nice things. There are some nice things about the democrats - I used to be one long ago. Most of them do mean well even if they are completely misguided in many respects. There are a lot of democrats who are hot chicks - then again there is megabiatch Barbara Streisand. skydivexxl is a Democrat and he's pretty cool. Even when he's hurling me into a concrete wall or chunking me up on a roof or spraying me with a fire extinguisher - but not when he's being an evilsonofabitch and hiding tequila from me. billvon is a Democrat and he's pretty cool. He even knows what calumniate means. I am not a democrat and I am a JACKASS. Oh...I digress. Speaking of tequila, I need some. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

You didn't really read about Wes Clark's performance all that much did you? You should. I doubt there are any with the strategic experience of Wes Clark here in the forums. I also doubt that any of Mr. Clark's peers would rate him highly in his Balkan performance, as several have spoken out strongly and critically of it. Nobody's posted me a link to sKerry's actual words. Sad but true. Nobody other than Kennedy and Kallend seem to be discussing the troop realignment either. Disappointing. I'll see if I can find the text myself. Beers to all, Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

After his performance in the Balkans, my assessment is that he's not an expert. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Here's what Fox has: Clicky Anybody got the text of sKerry's speech? I've long been a proponent of a massive realignment in our European forces for a myriad of reasons. If this is sKerry's expert opinion - and he's given nothing deeper elsewhere not quoted in the article - then he's truly no expert. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Learn something about the draft system back then and get back to me. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

OK Bill. I'll buy the damned ketchup but only if you come to Florida and grill with me so we can eat some of it. I wonder how W Ketchup would taste in some of my BBQ sauce....hmmm...food for thought. Truth be told I bought Heinz for this last batch without thinking of it. Baaaaaaad Vinny.

Not at all. If the woman chose to murder her child, then she should have paid for it. As the case was ruled, Turtle had to pay for the murder of his own child. Sickening. My own preference is that the child not be murdered in the first place, obviously. Any decent lawyer could, I believe make a strong first ammendment argument about forcing someone to fund murder against their will, I do believe. Truth be told, the state of the pregnancy would also play into the ruling. If it was past the first trimester - or even past 4 weeks - there is enough scientific evidence for me to consider any abortion at that stage murder. Without question. Prior to that - arguable. Even if it were prior to that state in the pregnancy, forcing Turtle to pay for something he believes is murder is trampling all over his religious rights as a US citizen. Almost as sickening as the murder he was forced to fund...perhaps almost is a poor choice of words there. Still - it gets the point across, I do believe. Definite Constitutional questions at hand - ACLU not to be found. Not a democratic agenda item, so it's not surprising. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

Murderers? Agreed. By forcing you to pay for something you believe is immoral and against your religion, they violate the true intent of the first ammendment, which is not to impose religion via the state upon anyone. If the ACLU was truly about defending the bill of rights instead of defending the democratic party's moronic agenda, they might have been able to do something with that. Disgusting. Sorry to hear that my friend. Truly sad that the courts forced you to pay for the murder of your child. Sickening on many, many levels. Where was the ACLU? Defending the KKK no doubt. Disgusting.

I'll have several bottles of pepto and many bags available to retch in should the forces of socialism, communism, racial discrimination, and murder of the unborn score a Presidential victory in November. And tissues to weep for my county. Hopefully they won't be needed.
