"Coalition of the willing" shrinking

If you're Rich and politically relevant people know your name....ready to concede there aint any yet?

Nope

Does George Washington count?

Wasnt old George a farmer prior to his service as General and President? He hardly came from the soft rich lifestyle our politicians today thrive in....and what country were his parents known for politically serving?

We are looking for a warrior whose parents politically served the United States and came from a soft-rich lifestyle in today's standards?

I'll have to get back to you on that one, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.

Could a rich man rise through the ranks on his talents alone? SURE, has one? probably...But find one who came from famous parents and was a warrior who rode that to leadership. One who came from a soft decadent lifestyle...you cant.

Every chance to get an edge has ALWAYS been taken by the soft elite, look into the history of the Olympics, you might be surprised where the "no professionals" rule came from....and WHAT the people who instituted those rules considered a professional.

One who came from a soft decadent lifestyle...you cant.

That's the kicker.

[BoarSpear]

Start by checking presidents who fit the bill of Birth to rich politically powerful parents and military service...Then check their Military records.

That's the kicker.

So in other words that shit only happens in stories with Princesses and elves.

Funny, I read that article................then the White House shoots back with Political Double Talk. "It shows signs of progress" LOL

Yeah thats totally a classic example of double talk, it also treats us like we're 5 years old for cryin' out loud...explain to me how it shows progress that we are sending 20,000 troops IN and the British are taking 1,600 OUT!....I guess Bush sees more boots on the ground as progress, YET losing 1,600 is progress also...

It really shows the lack of critical thinking ability on the part of the people who still support this nonsense spewing as acceptable behavior for the President of The United States Of America. People who WANT to believe he (and they) were right will simply refuse to step back and use common sense to see through the bullshit.

Sh!t happens. Period.

All the more reason to limit the amount of shit we all create, the bigger you are, the more shit you can create, be responsible about shitting ON people.

Concentrating troops on the front that they're needed most would be the intelligent thing to be doing. See why second guessing politicians is SO tough?

That's a pretty good cartoon. e could do a similar one about WW2, where the Americans get pushed in just before closing time.
