The movie "Swordfish" was on the other night, and this speech by John Travolta's super-patriot character struck a nerve:
Stanley: War? Who are we at war with?So, is American policy: you destroy two towers and we'll invade two countries?
Gabriel: Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourist, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that is becomes unthinkable to attack Americans.
Just sayin'.
Update - Oops, forgot about the Pentagon. Better make that three countries.

No American policy is you bomb us and we will make your life so painful that you will never again think that you can get away with. We have taken the fight to the Middle East and out of the Middle of NY which is exactly where it should be.

That brilliant piece of satire is even funnier than it was when it was bouncing around in 2004. Congratulations to whoever successfully switched "Nomination of John Kerry" to "Nomination of Hillary Clinton"; the current crop of conservatives aren't usually that competent.
Geeze, Anonymous, what's wrong with conservatives recycling political material? After all, the Democrats do it all the time. Look at their platform over the last two and upcoming Presidential elections:
2000 -- We have to beat George W. Bush.
2004 -- We have to beat George W. Bush.
2008 -- We have to beat George W. Bush.
They are running against "W" in 2008 -- too dim (or maybe Dem) to notice he ain't gonna be on the ballot.
I understand why you don't want it to be so, but face reality. W will be the whole ballot in 2008.
