Yes. It was Independence Day. I am trying to shift the topic of this thread from "Bin Laden is Dead" to "Inspiring Movie Speeches."

^ OMG!

He’s misquoting Dylan Thomas, though. The correct line is "Do not go gentle into that good night." But I’m sure you knew.

My knowledge of Welsh poetry is surpassed only by my love for being pedantic on the internet. Wink

As awesome as hating Communists was, my vote goes for the 1880's.


LOL

I think Pat said the same, although if memory serves he said the 1890s.  Can you guys debate the merits of the 1880s vs. 1890s for us?  Wink

To be honest this land really peaked around 1619.... Then it all went downhill... Tongue

the book never says where it is located, it could be any modern war or military camp ever. I first thought it was Australia, or South Africa, or even Egypt, or Afghanistan, it could be Kosovo or even.... anywhere Shocked, most important is hte human deads or missdeads. very confusing but also intence and sweatty

I'm pretty sure he's not attempting to quote it.

Finishing a Job: Obama Gets Osama
 by Robert Parry

  Link


Obama touched off American celebrations with his Sunday night announcement that
U.S. forces finally had killed Osama bin Laden, but that long frustrating hunt might not
have been necessary if George W. Bush had rejected neoconservative advice to pivot
prematurely from Afghanistan to Iraq in late 2001.

General Tommy Franks was overseeing the military operation aimed at capturing or killing
bin Laden when Rumsfeld relayed Bush’s order to freshen up the invasion plan for Iraq.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

To Bush's credit...near the end he did become a bit more assertive about things, in general.
He was also not nearly the neo con he's made out to be but hey...when you're a weak president you cave to whatever people want from you!

If by 'weak' you mean the worst judgment ever possessed by any U.S. President, then yeah

At least the navy seal team  finally got the f**ker. I laughed out loud at that cartoon though.

Hope Al Queda doesn't put out a contract on the artist. Remember that Danish cartoonist?
