Cafferty.."Let me see if I've got this right."
"This administration is thinking about attacking another country with a Nuclear Weapon to control more Nuclear Weapons from being made. I think I've got that right."

He told Wolf, "I'm getting scared, Wolf.":scared:

Maybe they're finally catching on? Have they figured out this is VERY serious?

6. He said he thinks THE VIEWERS (not him :eyes:) seem to feel the same way.
He's right. We are scared! Why isn't he?

37. Gloria, remove your name from your AOL-IM
by clicking on the "options" category above. I would not use my real name on a public discussion board, personally.

This ? is about a specific communications tool called "instant messenger."

Welcome :hi:

10. And he is no liberal "wussie" either. He's one of those rock-rib GOP
types that feels that the party has deserted them. He's had enough.

4. It's absolutely insane
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 03:20 PM by DoYouEverWonder
that this incompetent misadministration would consider nuking a civilian population. That is what they have put of the table. They might not have brains, but they've sure got cajones.

8. I would suggest if they had
Cajones they would be onsite when the bombs were launched. Maybe looking with binoculars from a location in Iraq. Real men don't have to act like one.

5. Wolfe said, "I think a lot of viewers feel the same way you do...
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 03:21 PM by 8_year_nightmare
should be interesting to hear the comments you get."

Question of the hour: Can the U.S. afford to go to attack Iran?

22. Answer of the hour - Sure, if we nuke 'em.
One bomb is cheaper than a big deployment. Which is likely their thinking - "How can we show that we aren't weak, but avoid a bigger deficit?" At which point, somebody (probably W his own self) jumps up and says, "Hey - don't we have a bunch of them nucular bombs that're already built and paid for?"

And then they start calculating the cost of jet fuel for the bomber. And then they'll blame the outcome on math.

7. That is what happens when the Chimperor is given what he wants
And by standing back and letting him have his way all the time, he's gotten way too big for his britches... if something isn't done with this brat, we are all doomed. And I mean brat. He doesn't have enough sense to be anything other than an evil childlike brat!

13. Reminds of the Twilight Zone where a little boy holds the grownups hostage
There's a twilight zone episode where a monstrous little boy has supernatural powers which he uses to threaten the grownups into doing whatever he demands.

In this case, the "wanton boy" Bush's power is access to nuclear weaponry. Truly scary.

14. your being way to gracious in just calling him a spoiled brat
to the bushwhacker. You forget that he is inbred by evil from the bush clan. He is mad alright mad with the bush's family need for wealth and power. You can spank a brat. This monster cannot be touched.

16. I just spoke to a couple of ultra right christians and.........
even they are afraid of this bunch now. I drove up to their company and the first thing one of them said to me was "I guess we found the leaker". The other one said he needed to be impeached and when I said "and end up with cheney, we would have to go as far as hastert before we found one that could tie his shoes" they both cracked up. They literally said it's time to keep the guns close. Asked me what's this deal about wanting to go after Iran now?
These guys were hot, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

17. I got hammered for suggesting Cafferty get a show, but I stand by it.
Well, many fellow DUers didn't take kindly to my suggestion that Jack Cafferty should have his own show, but it's always a risk as to where a commentator will come down. I think Jack is a cynical curmudgeon. They are and always have been my favorite people. Intelligence, toughness and straight shooting are good things.

...and an entertaining one, too.

I also wish he could have his own show, or at least replace Wolf.

18. Cafferty is no liberal by any definition but
just knows right from wrong and calls the Bush admin on it constantly.

OMG! Did I just post something relating to moral equivalency? Yaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! In this case the right thing is very plain to any reasonable person and nuclear weapons are not reasonable any time or place.

But, hey,....this regime's been allowed to do whatever the fuck it wants since it "GOT IN".

Whatever happens, my empathy will ONLY be preserved for those who took a stand against these crazy fuckers and those suffering due to these evil human death-deliverers.
