I just got a crazy EMail about soldier in Iraq wearing the flags of Germany,
France and Russia under the flag od the USA. A little patch said this is who we are fighting for....

It was one of those mass EMail's that says send this along and someone will tell you they love you. Meantime, work to get this on te cover of Time and Newsweek.

Usually I ignore this crap but today I hit reply all with this reply...

This was a war of choice to protect Exxon and the interests of the Bush family...

God are people deluded. Even Cheney is calling it a war of choice.

And where the hell did they get this Germany, France and Russia crap from?

2. How bizarre is that?
You gave them the right answer. Now, let's hope they can really absorb it.

4. My jaded guess would be...
Edited on Sun Jun-14-09 01:26 PM by Iggo
...that "Germany, France, and Russia" is code for "white folks."

But that's just how I'm feeling this morning. Maybe after I get some coffee in me...

EDIT: Oh, now I get it. They mean cowards, not white folks. See? told you I was jaded...lol.
