Southwest Ties

[waka]

I'll admit I'm no fan of Clinton and becoming less of a Bush fan every day.

The proof that Bush lied is no stronger or weaker than that Clinton killed Vince Foster. A previous poster was correct when he mentioned that we lost 10x the number of guys in a matter of hours instead of three years. Bottom line every life is valuable and I'd rather fight the terrorists in Iraq than on my soil, not to mention depose a ruthless dictator in the process.

Clinton was a slacker in his responsibilities regarding terror, Clinton's admin propped up a smoke and mirrors economy. Bush is sidestepping immigration and not fighting to win, but rather fighting not to lose (ask anyone who runs a prevent defense in football how that works out.)

If i'm a kool-aid drinking rightwing nut, then you are a left wing nut and oh well. best of luck to ya.

quick question; what terrorists have we fought on Iraqi soil?

best of luck back at ya:beer:

I think what happened is that Waka go lost on his way to http://www.dailykos.com/ . This is a pilot board about pilot stuff, you want to talk politics, then the "non-aviation chat" would be a better forum. Although dseagrav did make the thread worth reading with his untie and tailor made comments.

Even better than dailykos, might I recommend http://www.nationalreview.com/ where you could go get yourself some knowledge. Are you hanging out on the 9/11 conspiracy threads also? GWB did it to increase Dick's Haliburton stock? Do you and Cynthia McKinney hang out and chat how the President kept reading those 2nd graders that story because 'he already knew what was happening'? Is the world such a scary place that you find fantasy more reassuring than reality?

I think most pragmatic people realize the reason for going to war in Iraq (WMDs on the ground) may have been incorrect (they're all in Syria now?) but we're there and a country and their people would be worse off if we abandoned them, ask the Vietnamese how the last 30 years have been. I mean, ask the ones that survived the re-education camps and the boat lifts.

If you were to just read a little, I started it as an aviation thread. It was hijacked by others.

With William F Buckley and his ilk, The National Review is way too biased for me. It's potato chips for the mind. No thanks.

I hope Big Slick doesn't see this thread !

Waka, you da man! Clinton is a god - thanks to him women in America have been put in their place.

My bad. I did read the beginning but I forgot by the time I got to the bottom. I see that your question was straight forward but pretty much everyone assumed you had an alternate agenda, which seems to be borne out by the subsequent info. But, to answer your initial question. No, we don't have to wear patriotic ties. There is a standard black tie. There are 3 patriotic ties. There is some other black/wavy pattern thing that looks like you spilled something on it (to me). And there is an 'Adopt-a-Pilot' tie that looks like some 3rd grader drew it, which some third grader did. Probably another one or two out there.

So, SWA pilots have a choice of ties within the 'approved' list. Sorry, no Che Guevera ties or Hammer & Sickle emblems, although I know those are considered hipster in certain circles.

Hammer and Sickle LOL!

Finally, I get a straight answer! Thanks.

Airline pilots have it so bad they are now taking donations from grade schoolers?

No one died when Clinton lied? I don't normally get into politcal arguments online, but this quote is just too harebrained for me to let it go unanswered. You realize that Clinton had the power to kill Bin Laden before 9/11, but sat on his ass and didnt? How many lives was that? And I'm sick of the left skewing the view on the Iraq war. This is one of the most successful wars we have fought. Not that each and every life isn't important, but we've lost ten times that number in single days in other wars! Get your !$@% facts right before you post some idiotic, half baked MORON tag line online.

how did he have the power when his military actions into bosnia were questioned by the GOP? Oh and that whole 70+ million dollars of tax payer money used to investigate his sexual escapades and impeachment trial probably didnt help him concentrate on "finding bin laden" right?

and can you actually point out any public calls for the capture of UBL, please?

 

[big_al]

Atleast he doesn't get his hair cut while sitting in AF1, while sitting on the ramp of a busy airport, while closing down all traffic at a major airport. And...perhaps if Clinton didnt get his hummer...he would not have needed to divert the American public's attention to Somalia, Bosnia and Yugoslovia. So, I guess a few good people did die when Clinton lied.

that haircut closing down a "busy" LAX is a myth, by the way

divert public attention to Somalia, Bosnia, and Yugoslavia? First of all, Somalia was Bush Srs nonsense, Clinton inherited it. Secondly, Bosnia and Yugoslavia was to stop the ethnic cleansing and civil wars going on. You have a problem with wars that are actually morally just?

Well according to the Clinton fans he can get a hummer and do his POTUS stuff at the same time. So why would the investigation have interferred with anything and/or his concentration? This guy was superman. Again, I'm grateful for Slick - he put women in their place (on their knees). The NOW gals have been neutered. The Man Show live at the White House.

BTW, SWA ties are cool.

WAKA no matter what any of us do there can be no intelligent discussion if you sir are in it. Have you tried discussion boards on moveon.org? I am sure they are much more likely to enjoy your misinformed dribble.

Just as a side note I don't regret one day of my 28 yr career even if it meant defending the likes of you.

No it isn't...not according to:

They are saying the haircut thing was a real deal.

 

[DA50pilot]

This just proves you are an idiot.

Damn; she beat me to it

somehow I doubt you're qualified to make that assessment. not to mention that you delude yourself with your illusion of consensus......some kind of insecurity thing? come on, this is a message board, do you really need that kind of validation here?

there was not one war in the last 28 years in which US troops were involved the defense of this nation

 

[waka]

dang; she beat me to it

sigh, yet another dittohead

 

[gator_hater]

You are correct in that we have not been in direct defense of our nation for the last 28 years. BUT...

The liberals would love for us to go to Bosnia, Somalia, and Darfur, to fight battles that have NO Effect on what becomes of this nation in the future. However if we go to depose some wack job dictator who may be developing and distributing WMD's and who has outwardly stated his desire for the distruction of Israel, then we are off base?? Those are things that do affect our nation.

As for your earlier question about not fighting any terrorists in Iraq... many of the insurgents that are causing the problems are Syrian, Afghan, and Iranians who find it the easiest way to fight the US. If they had not gone there they would be trying to get here. That my friend is not a good thing.

quick question; what terrorists have we fought on Iraqi soil?

best of luck back at ya:beer:

Judging what happened on Iraqi soil today...I thought Id drag this thread back up from page 8.

Uh, is Al-Zarquaui (sp?) a terrorist? Gee I dunno. Cutting off Berg's head with a dull kitchen knife, screaming Allahu-akbar, posting a video, and later declaring it was like butchering a sheep...

Oh yeah, he must be a freedom fighter.
