Don't you have some tinfoil to wrap around your head?

I'd believe Kucinich over any of the pack of liars in the White House, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

A few months ago I would've said the October surprise would've been Iran (the admin has a 5-7 air strike plan, and a phase II 30-45 air strike plan, and then....no plan) but I think that would have been overkill. I believe it about Syria - I haven't heard anything about what was so pressing and certainly it has been universally condemned.

The October surprise really needed to be a national security item. It's McCain's one great strength and even Dems see Republicans as the strong military leaders. Create a military crisis and the nation turns its lonely eyes to QVC McCain. Thank goodness- in this regard- the economic crisis overpowered everything else. Talk about your chickens coming home to roost.

/feel free to post a tinfoil hat pic now

woohoo, my greenlight count is now the answer to the universe!

On topic:

I thought Kucinich was a pretty level headed politician. Anybody think there's a chance he's right?

Nooo one of them went red. *rushes off to find new article to submit*

while I certainly wouldn't put it past some of our white house boys to pull something like this to help McCain....that raid looked more like a case of bad directions and mistaken identity than any organized and well prepped election propaganda media event material.

That said, we still have tomorrow for someone to pull off a major surprise. so hang tight and we'll see what happens.

I think six years of Donald Rumsfeld put a serious dent in that perception. Robert Gates is doing a pretty good job so far, but I think Rummy plastering himself on TV every night during the war has hurt the relatively media-shy Gates.

A lot of voters who don't follow defense isues that closely probably couldn't pick him out of a line-up.

The pin's a nice touch.

I have to say I love that little troll Kucinich. He has all teh crazy of McKinney with none of the coont. He makes life more interesting. Oh and his ginger wife is teh hawt.

Ha ha, when you type "Kucinich" into google, the first recomendation in the drop box that comes down is "Kucinich wife"

There is alot of win in that.

This thread is useless without pictures of the lepricaun's hot wife.

"insanely hot" wife, please. She is attractive and by Dennis and most farkers (myself included), she is definitely pretty. But she is thin, so that = Fark insanely hot.

A UK, vegan ginger? No thanks

If you were in a position to try and pull something like this, wouldn't that be the cover?

"No, no it wasn't politically motivated, it must just be hostility and tension in the area and some overzealous troops. We'll investigate this potentially inflammatory event happening in a world that requires a president with impeccable foreign policy experience immediately."

I'm not saying it was some kind of political ploy, just that the fact that it doesn't look like a one, isn't evidence enough to dismiss it.

/couldn't not think of an un-way to not say that as a double plus un-negative

I understand the paranoia the Bush administration has created in Americans who respect the constitution but, mistake or not, regional commanders have been given the go ahead to authorize cross border raids.
This is widely reported information and these are fast moving targets of opportunity.

I think if the US military had been politically compromised to the degree of things like the Gonzales justice department there would have been a big WMD "discovery" by now.

I'm curious, is the tin foil reference because those making the accusations of tin foil don't believe our government is capable of such things?

Elizabeth Kucinich for naked!!!

my head hurts trying to figure that one out

If it weren't for the filthy lawless tactics the Bush administration has been caught using for the last 8 years, these kinds of questions and doubts wouldn't come up about electronic voting fraud, outing of covert agents, firing of US attorneys, propaganda in the media, lies, damn lies, more lies, politicizing the gao, politicizing government contracts, politicizing of corruption trials, politicizing everything you could lay your greedy claws on.

This is Bush's legacy. You republicans bought it, and now you are paying for it.

The thought briefly crossed my mind when it happened. But I would have to agree with PirateFreedom on this.

/...but they said the same thing about us saying there were no WMDs in Iraq.

If the past is any indication, the Bush administration would never insert partisan politics into our foreign policy.

Finding something that doesn't exist is a whole different ballgame than authorizing a politically opportune attack on enemies that do.

I should have supported Kucinich in the primary. So far he has voted against FISA, against the bailout (both of them) and submitted multiple articles of impeachment. This puts him above Obama in the cred department. The guy just rocks.


/And his wife is hot.

BUAAHAHHAHAHAHA

Hot wife aside, i find it more than interesting that the politicians that actually do right are considered the craziest. It's an upside down world we live in.

I blame 24 hour news geared toward ratings.

This retarded little troll needs to understand that not everything on earth happens as the result of a battle between Democrats and Republicans. Of course, if he cedes that this is true, then he becomes less important. Which is the total opposite of what a big-mouthed attention whore wants.

generaltimmy: "insanely hot" wife, please. She is attractive and by Dennis and most farkers (myself included), she is definitely pretty. But she is thin, so that = Fark insanely hot.

Look at the people who still think Palin's hot.

She's pretty and looks good compared to Kucinich the troll-like midget. But NOT hot.

Edsel: She's pretty and looks good compared to Kucinich the troll-like midget. But NOT hot.

You must be blind!

It's good to see an elf get a hot chick.

They have to wear silly clothes and their boss is a pain in the ass.

politicizing 9/11,

politicizing the hanging of Saddam . . .


Republicans can suck it. Suck it long and hard. Suck it suck it suck it.

Palin is hot. Doesn't mean I agree with her politics.

Mrs Kucinich is hot but she is a redhead and well.

True enough.

I guess I just don't believe career military commanders are doing less than their best for their men and their mission and if the call was made at their level I'm expecting it was a honest one.
Also I don't think it was big deal for domestic politics, people have seen so many "number 2" guys get killed over the last seven years that they have tuned it out.

(not that the #2 nomenclature hasn't been ridiculed away but dead arabs not named Osama Bin Laden create little excitement now)

Sir Roderick Glossop: This retarded little troll needs to understand that not everything on earth happens as the result of a battle between Democrats and Republicans.

So how many other things has he blamed on the war between Democrats and Republicans? Based on your post i'm sure you should be able to name at least ten off the top of your head. Or were you just making that all up?

Mr. Irrelevant deficates from his piehole yet again, reality unamused.

Sir Roderick Glossop, you sir are in no way a big-mouthed attention whore. IN NO WAY. YOU ARE A BIG-MOUTHED ATTENTION WHORE.

Edsel: She's pretty and looks good compared to Kucinich the troll-like midget. But NOT hot.

I thought the White House was too busy releasing the private data of an illegal to start a war in Syria.

/Obama's illegal aunt three days before the election?
/Coincidence.

Agreed. It probably was a smart call, but the timing was suspect. But still, as you say, it had little impact I think so it kind of seems like a non-story.

I also wouldn't put it past Syria to be making up half of it anyways. It's not like there is some big bright line in the sand or big wall or sign saying "now entering another sovereign nation's territory, proceed only if it helps republican presidential candidates."

I came in here for the pics of Elizabeth Kucinich... everyone but FarKnight is full of FAIL

I can't look at her without remembering Julianne Moore in "Short Cuts."

Yeah, chief whatever you say. If only there were some proof that Kucinich is a demagogic partisan hack....

I smoked pot with Dennis when he was the Mayor of Cleveland. Went to the Rolling Stones concert together. Or was it Pink Floyd pigs tour? I don't remember. I don't remember much about the 70's.
