Talking With The Enemy Will Only Increase Violence!

by Jim Newell  

Here’s a curious pairing of headlines from the Washington Post website. John McCain, as he has been and will continue doing for the next eight years, called Obama a softie who ignorantly treats our enemies like actual human beings. Obama thinks *talking* to dangerous regimes, in some form, will achieve anything? Like a truce or something? Go back to Harvard, Columbia elitist! Talking with the enemy will only result in twenty more 9/11s and universal cancer. [Washington Post]

Umm, didn’t WALNUTS say the same things about communicating with our enemies? Hmmm….

4tehlulz June 17, 2008 at 1:59 pm

Israel has a September 10th mindset.

confusionanddelay< June 17, 2008 at 1:59 pm

I don’t think WALNUTS has eight years left in him.

MARCdMan June 17, 2008 at 2:01 pm

You forgot the mandatory gay marriage and cats and dogs living together.

AngryBlakGuy June 17, 2008 at 2:01 pm

…GEEEEEEZ! Will ONE of WALNUTS! talking points be proven right? Just one c’mon!

[re=17982]AngryBlakGuy[/re]:
WALNUTS also went from criticizing Gitmo to saying that reinstating Habeas Corpus was
“one of the worst decisions in the history of this country.”

Ohhhh WALNUTS!

Cicada June 17, 2008 at 2:03 pm

More “arguments” from the McCain camp:

War is Peace!
No is Yes! (for Clayton Williams)
Negotiation is Appeasement!
Healthcare is Socialism!
Iran is Al Queda!

bonghitsforjesus June 17, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Howabout we blast McCain as ‘naive’ and ‘delusional’ if he thinks getting the Republican nomination is anything more than a gold watch and ass-pat for letting Dubya cut his balls off for the last four years? I think it’s time for someone to ‘ride the silver bullet’ back to the assisted living center…

DirkLeisure June 17, 2008 at 2:06 pm

NOOOOOOOO, Israel! It’s a trick! Don’t do it! Listen to the folks who got Iraq 100% right! Only WALNUTS!(TM) can save you now!

No more using words like “slam” or “blast” when there is not actual slamming or blasting. “Obama slams basketball” and “McCain blasts audiences with fecal matter (because that’s what old people do)” would be acceptable here.

tsunami June 17, 2008 at 2:09 pm

when mccain hears about this, those damned egyptians are fucked.
no more mr nice guy.

AxmxZ June 17, 2008 at 2:11 pm

I want to email that image to McCain over and over again, but then I remember that McCain is computer illiterate.

FreshCliches June 17, 2008 at 2:14 pm

“McCain Advisers Slam *CANDIDATE ENDORSED BY HAMAS*”

“Israel, *ENDORSERS OF OBAMA* Agree To Truce”

There, fixed.

Personally, I prefer Julia Roberts’ approach to dealing with “the enemy”: Secretly taking swimming lessons at the YWCA, faking your death in a boating accident, getting a new, crappy haircut and relocating to Iowa. America needs to take secret swimming lessons, collectively fake our own deaths in the Persian Gulf and swim to Sioux City wearing new hooker wigs.

AngryBlakGuy June 17, 2008 at 2:16 pm

…in the immortal word of Dr. Peter Venkman:

…human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… MASS HYSTERIA!!!

See what you have started Israel!?

edgydrifter June 17, 2008 at 2:17 pm

[re=18002]grundle burrito[/re]: I don’t think you can use “blast” in that context. Folks of McThusela’s, um, vintage don’t blast fecal matter. They ooze it involuntarily.

Godless Liberal * June 17, 2008 at 2:19 pm

This only proves that Israel does not understand terrorism or the complexities of Middle Eastern politics.

norbizness June 17, 2008 at 2:23 pm

If McCain contends that an extrajudicial system of imprisonment and torture carried out by military leaders is superior to international, cooperative efforts, that can only mean that he admires his VC captors more than the Constitution.

grundle burrito June 17, 2008 at 2:25 pm

[re=18012]edgydrifter[/re]: Ah yes, the McCain slug trail. I’ve seen it around town.

Gopherit v2.0 June 17, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Listen to McCain. He know from experience, there’s just no “reasoning” with the goo….err enemy.

Uncle Al June 17, 2008 at 2:28 pm

It says “McCain ADVISERS Slam Obama.”
McCain has slammed anything in years.

DirkLeisure June 17, 2008 at 2:31 pm

Israel is only 50, so it is young, naive and delusional.

shortsshortsshorts June 17, 2008 at 2:31 pm

[re=18031]Uncle Al[/re]: I don’t know, he’s probably slammed Cindy against a couple of walls recently, that trollop.

ManchuCandidate June 17, 2008 at 2:31 pm

We’ve all seen what talking does. Instead of the glorious nuclear Armageddon we all deserved to die in called World War Three, US America and the Bear actually the unthinkable and talked thus awfully prevented the cleansing beautiful fire from happening. Fucking peaceniks and their non missile shooting ways.

shortsshortsshorts June 17, 2008 at 2:31 pm

Happy Fun Ball June 17, 2008 at 2:34 pm

If McSame hates talking and also hates war (he told me himself in that recent ad), what are our other options? Are we going to shame our enemies into laying down their arms by deliberately picking them last for kickball during recess? Boycotting their advertisers?

superfecta June 17, 2008 at 2:42 pm

Don’t we usually make our client states do the actual negotiation anyway? I mean, we ignored Libya for years to let the British deal with them and now Bush is BFF with Qadaffi (or something like that).

shortsshortsshorts June 17, 2008 at 2:42 pm

I met a guy who was vehemently on the track of nuking the entire middle-east. Heh????

Walter Sobchak June 17, 2008 at 2:43 pm

[re=18047]Happy Fun Ball[/re]: He just figures those of us that don’t die from no healthcare will get our homes foreclosed on and move to some country where brown folks live, then he can secretly bomb us. It’s a win-win!

Ugh. Fucking Egypt has a higher international diplomatic profile these days than the U.S. How about a few less hours in the gym and maybe put in some actual work there, Condi?

edgydrifter June 17, 2008 at 3:08 pm

[re=18065]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Easy there. Those Ferragamos aren’t going to walk themselves into Condi’s closet. The lady has a grueling shopping schedule to maintain.

[re=17996]DirkLeisure[/re]: Really — haven’t they seen Battlestar Galactica?

nhunter June 17, 2008 at 3:08 pm

So did we all see that the NYT is reporting that Condie is in Lebanon meeting with “leaders from both the government majority and the Hezbollah-led opposition?”

Condie <3 Hezbollah!

Did Faux News cover this story at all? I can just imagine that “terrorist fist jab” bimbo trying to spin Condie shaking hands with representatives of a terrorist group.

The Israelis: naive, delusional, white wine-sipping, falafel-munching appeasers. Next, they will stab us in the back by joining the UN.

Ah..Trick or Treaty? For UNICEF?

You see McCain learned in the Hanoi Hilton if you talk you don’t get your salad tossed and whipped by the guards

[re=18065]Botswana Meat Commission FC[/re]: Fucking Egypt sounds nice. Does she look more like Cindy or John. Or is she a tanned Meghan on the job?

Canuckledragger June 17, 2008 at 6:16 pm

You know whose fault this is? Jimmy Fuckin’ Carter, ‘coz he was over there not long ago and brokered this lack of carnage.

And you know what WALNUTS! has been saying recently? “Barack Obama’s gonna be Jimmy Carter’s second term!”

Next thing ya know, peace will break out all over, the heavens will open up, celestial choirs will sing…..

Obama must be stopped I tells ya. If not, how can the military-industrial complex survive? Who will put 20 billion into the coffers of Haliburton and KBR? How will Dick Cheney pay for shit in his dotage? If this keeps up, nobody will get 72 virgins!

Fuckin’ hippies. Kill ‘em all and let Allah figger it out.
