  6. Torre better start getting numbers for GMs so he can get a new job soon. Steinbrenner is going to fire him. Zimmer = gone, Cashman = gone, Torre = gone.
  7. Hopefully Tank and Kimo won't get into a 69 either
  8. Thank you Jesus for enabling me with the ability to beat the life out of my opponent!
  9. Pedro: "What kind of racist bullcrap is that Johnson?" *unleashes the fastball*
  10. So, will Batista feud with Evolution on his return?
  11. Absolutely. I'm no real fan of the current Iranian government either, with them building nuclear stuff and denying it. There could be enough dissent in the country to bring them down. ------- Meanwhile, in other news. Iran claims they think Iraq had WMDs I'm sure that will confuse most Americans on both sides. Leftists will wonder if Iran's lying to justify war, or a CIA tool, or if Newsmax is just lying about what the Ayatollah's gov't said. People on the right will still mention how Iran is bad, or "they're so bad, but they know when we're right" or whichever. Best bet: Iran still really really dislikes Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi government
  12. Really? How have you reached that conclusion? The Taliban themselves were welcomed to take over Afghanistan. The people wanted them to. As Tyler said, the majority of people would vote for them. So why wouldn't they just let the people elect them? I'll leave it up to Tyler to cite any polls that show a majority of Iraqis want a Taliban-esque or a Shiite Islamic Republic. I'm sincerely puzzled here, do you think we went to war to win popularity contests in the future? It'd be nice if we'd win a popularity contest in the country we just liberated. You think they'd be favorable and like us. Yeah.. good point. Although, if a lasting peace involved taking down the Iranian state, then you'd be for it, right? I wouldn't mind seeing their state fall by whatever means work.
  13. Yes, a Democracy, unless they vote for the Shiites, then we'll have to clarify Democracy to mean "Vote for anybody except the guys who want to expell the US from your country" Sure.. we want at least more than one or two elections before the thing goes up in flames. Or preferably a stable country. Spicy, do you think it says about US involvement in Iraq if Iraqis vote people into power who resolve to expell our troops from the country? Just a scenario. But, Iraqis will probably feel gratefulness to us, unless we somehow wear out our welcome with them.
  14. Can't blame the guy, he is a Dominican player like Sammy Sosa. Sorta like standing up for your brutha or whatever. Although he is much more bitter.
  15. oooooh... it's the holy Marney, out to save the day! You're not even sure if you can call it a Democratic appointment or an election. Let me spell it out for you, No, he was not. The Nazi Party never even won a majority (37% in July 32, 33% in November 32, 43% in March 33). But, if under the rules of the Weimar Republic, he was democratically elected, then of course it was a cruel turn since we know what he thought of Democracy. A few points to make with that. One, a Talibanesque dictator party will probably seek other ways to take power than Democratically. Second, a Shiite Iranian-sympathizing government could get a plurality, but something tells me they may not get a majority. But, that's dependant on what process is approved for the new government, either it be a congress/President, a Parliment/Prime Minister/President or what. What does that say about our popularity in Iraq if you think they'll vote for people who want to kick us out of Iraq? While I think the insane side of parties in Iraq is either exaggerated or can be contained, it'll probably be the best if the first few governments are ones that we can get along with. Can you name the Democratic governments in those countries? You can't because they never had any. It's not like all these countries have been taken over by the Psycho Talibanesque religious types. Hell, going thru that it's Islamic state, King, Emir, King, Emir, King, King, Dictator, Occupied by Syria. I'd take Iraq being a kingdom over the nightmare scenario of an Islamic Republic. Yes, a Democracy, unless they vote for the Shiites, then we'll have to clarify Democracy to mean "Vote for anybody except the guys who want to expell the US from your country" Yeah, that'd be an ideal way to set up Iraq. Balance of power and all. Considering they have three groups (Kurds, Sunnis, Shiites) who would probably kill each other if it gets really bad. So, are you going for Democracy in Iraq or a Republic in Iraq? I'll take 'Democratic Republic' as an answer, since you'd annul elections faster than the Turkish military if some psychos somehow got a majority of the vote. Meanwhile, Iraqi elections aren't exactly flowing smoothly (or happening at all yet) It appears that mass apathy and mass accusations of corruption are hurting them in Um Qasr.
  16. Bonds likely wouldn't do an interview with Reilly and he got mad. All these journalist care about is what benefits them. Bonds not doing an interview is very plausible. Imagine if Reilly was around for Ty Cobb. He'd wish for Sammy Sosa then.
  17. Here we go with the article http://www.canoe.ca/EdmontonNews/es.es-06-06-0059.html Arghhhhh... let me pick this apart. "U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said yesterday the transition to a democratic government in Iraq can't be rushed - and cited the rise of German dictator Adolf Hitler as an example of what could go wrong." Yes, a government could have a madman who will murder tens of millions come up if rushed. I can also die if my microwave explodes. I don't know the betting line on murderous genocidal madmen coming into power in Iraq, but I'd imagine lightning just won't strike twice. "Rumsfeld said he wasn't and the transition from dictatorship to representative government is difficult." Well.. of course. I just wanted to note that. It is quite difficult to get people out to vote in a Democracy in an area which has never had any form of Democratic government. ""If you think about it, Adolf Hitler was elected. So elections are not the certain judge."" Rummy.. you fool. HITLER WAS NOT ELECTED. The Nazi Party never recieved a majority of the vote, even after the Reichstag fire. Your own historical ignorance has inadvertantly put you with the dumbasses who say "Hitler was elected, Bush wasn't" and all that. Hitler lost the Presidental election in 1932. He was then appointed Chancellor, and on the death of the President, he consolidated power. He was NOT ELECTED. ""You don't want to have (an) election one time and then a dictator and go right back to some dictator model"" yes, the dictator model is not one that Iraq should go to. Hopefully they won't go to the 'repeating bullshit' model either, like you did with your Hitler comparison. Sorry Rumster
  18. Reilly sounds a bit pissy. Granted, maybe the fact that McGwire is white and Sosa is a black player from the Dominican Republic and Bonds is black has a small influence on Reilly. But, I don't think that's anything legitimate. As for Canseco whining about Racism. Look at the guy, he may have lived in Cuba for nine months, but the guy doesn't really obviously seem like a minority. Although with Jose, he is finding out that pissing off people and being a DH who only hits HRs will limit your job oppertunities. Jose gives disservice to all people legitimately hindered by racism thru his whining. Unless he can produce some evidence that white players break their corked bats and never recieve punishment, then he is an assclown
  19. Allteemo Dragon too!
