The first one is funny because resident big-nose Panetta is a one-task-only kind of guy that is so bad at his job he decided to stop going after terrorists and instead has told the CIA to go after Dick Cheney.
The second one is funny because it shows that Democrats are big jerkbags for being annoyed that Bin Laden was never captured, but then they're all like "I think it's wrong to have a secret assassination squad without the proper people being informed," and what's up with that, right? Ingrates!
Can't say I have! I think it has to do with my love for when Comic's Curmudgeon stops by wonkette and does his political comic roundups (http://wonkette.com/tag/comics-curmudgeon)
er... I mean what's the big whoop about being a sneaky son-of-a-bitch who creates a secret assassination squad as long as it results in a bad guy death or two, amirite?
It's not like we could possibly want things done in some sort of honorable, above-board manner.
Perhps if those squads got past the planning stage, then I would agree with you. Should the CIA tell congress everything they are planning at every moment in time?
i agree. if the CIA is planning to take over your journal and send you to borneo to be gangraped by orangutans, i don't want to know about it until the video comes out.
1) As mylaptopisevil says, yeah, the CIA can't possibly wanna go after terr'ists anymore 'cuz, 'cuz it's run by TERR'IST LOVIN' DEMMER CRATS yeah, that's why. And they wanna go after Dick Cheney OMG why would anyone want to go after the guy that broke more US *and* international laws than any memmber/non-member of the Executive Branch in the history of Earth? That's just STUPID, why would we do that?
Aside, sans irony: Do you really hate America so much that you don't want to see it be an honorable republic that follows laws and cooperates with international treaties? God Bless America, fuck everyone else? Is that REALLY the way you want America to be in this world? REALLY?
2) Back to irony. Bush *did* have a plan to kill people (not just bin Laden) and Bush *did* fail to kill anyone. Does that not make him the greatest fail ever in the history of the world? I mean, Mussolini looks like frickin' Lance Armstrong compared to this guy. Further, see above - *everyone* should be outraged. This is America; the United Goddamn States of America. We're not supposed to be about secret plots to kill the duly-elected leaders of other republics. We're not supposed to be about torture and secrecy and spying on our people and invading countries that had nothing to do with anything, and when we do these things,
Conservatives are too pig fucking stupid to be able to follow your line of reasoning. All they know are the old cowboy movies from the forties and fifties they've never even seen. Papaw told them about Roy Rogers and Shane and John Wayne and how they were always the good guys and everybody else were always the bad guys and the good guys ALWAYS win because we're Americans! Then, in the early 21st century we have that reactionary porn series 24 and what if your mother were being held hostage with a nuclear bomb and you had only TEN MINUTES to find its location and rescue her along with a whole buttload of cute children with large, soft eyes and even a smart little puppy? Huh? What then?
Okay Brainiac. What exactly *is* the point? And if you fail to explain it to me in terms that a complete simpleton like me can understand, O Great Powerful Mind Force of the Internets, then you FAIL. I frankly expect you to not be able to provide any kind of explanation of exactly how I have "missed the point," much less show me or anyone else exactly what the point is, but please. Please. PLEASE. Show us. Enlighten us. Give us your very superior point of view and your exclusive information. Now.
Three days, six hours. I'm calling this massive fail. Next time he pulls that "you don't get it" bullshit he's getting this right back in his arrogant smirking weasel face.
Five and a half hours you've had to tell us the POINT. You've posted your dumbass insult responses to all of us in this an other posts, so we know you're online. Tell us the
Six hours and forty minutes. Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? Point? THE FUCKING POINT??
Oblio got the point. Do you have a point? I suspect like all the others in the Pointed Village, you think you have one but in actuality have none at all. A point??? What is the point???
I'm glad that Republicans aren't even bothering to pretend anymore to care about rule of law. It's kind of refreshing.
This just in... in hindsight, Iran-Contra was totally awesome!!! And that whole Nixon/Cambodia thing? Fucking balls to the walls awesome! The President can do whatever he wants!!! Unless he's a Democrat and/or black, in which case he's a tyrant

Date: 2009-07-17 02:22 pm (UTC)The reason they didn't go "past the planning stage" was because they didn't find anyone to kill in secret.

Also, if in the end a Libertarian does end up being right about everything, I hope that Libertarian is you.
