Not so tongue in cheek is it? We found the enemy.

Can someone copy it over? Please? Work filters The Onion out, and my internet at home is toast until next Monday.

Overall, scarily prophetic. But, how quickly revisionist history takes hold. Clinton was not opposed to committing our troops to battle. Just ask SWD, who was put in dangerous situations by virtue of the previous administration.

Quote:
"You better believe we're going to mix it up with somebody at some point during my administration," said Bush, who plans a 250 percent boost in military spending. "Unlike my predecessor, I am fully committed to putting soldiers in battle situations. Otherwise, what is the point of even having a military?"
But, that's a nitpik in the scheme of things. It's sad how this was supposed to be a far-out never-happen situation, and most everything came to pass.

Of course there are those that are just happy "their side" won and be damned with the consequences.

Man, I couldn't even muster a chuckle on that. What a sad state we have been put in....

One of the points that really sticks out to me is the mention of 'jingoism'. You tell me that isn't prophetic....

No one noticed that it is in jest?

My god, look at the top of the page dated "January 13th 2008" and to the right discussing the LA train crash and hurricane Ike.

You've been duped.

Ok, nevermind.

I guess I was wrong. That was from January 17th.

I think.
