You want peace? You want corporate war profiteer CEO’s and members of their families to stop lying us into wars? Here is the answer: You make it a law that any politician who votes or orders troops into combat outside our borders must pick up a weapon and lead the battle from the deepest penetration point on the battlefield.
Come on Cheney…maybe you can shoot something other than helpless captive farm birds…and the faces of your so called friends! Maybe we’ll see how IED proof your SUV is!
I introduce this law. Do I hear a second? Think about it!
Well first of all, you know this law stands about as much chance of being introduced–much less being passed–as Bush does of being considered a modern-day Einstein.
But even if it were law, all they would do is stage phony media events in the Las Vegas desert, pretending to be in Iraq (or wherever), fulfilling their obligation to the law…
S E C O N D ! ! ! ! !
(That would be one way to put an end to the war or maybe (fingers crossed) to Cheney et al. Too bad it’ll never happen, but we can always dream.)
“But even if it were law, all they would do is stage phony media events in the Las Vegas desert, pretending to be in Iraq (or wherever), fulfilling their obligation to the law…”
If they can fake the moon landing, they can fake their mission-accomplished landing in ‘Iraq’ other than on some air craft carrier.
henryford555 - Great point!
Good Idea, king george should go in riding his horse, twins following and all his men too. There should be a law about chicken shits who went AWOL from the guards, sending guards in to fight a war.
The Decider is a real life chicken hawk. The closest real life combat experience that he ever had was blowing up frogs in his hometown.
Professor Mark Crispin Miller knows.

By the way, is there a law against operating a lethal weapon under the influence of alcohol?
On an odd note, O’Really had to mention that Matt Damon is on record as stating that W’s girls should be in uniform over in Iraq. Kinda makes me think that I need to see the new Bourne Supremecy…
“Rove’s gotta go…….., and see a good lawyer.”
jesse,

so often you say what i am thinking!
And i second the law!
And those politicians will be given dummy weapons.
They can just shoot off their mouths…
