Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

LC, honorary Denizen (and now IB) Jackboot makes his triumphant first entry into the Blogosphere with this little gem.

Driving home from my day’s assignment, I noticed a bumper sticker with “Old Glory” flying. Ahhh… I always enjoy seeing those and this one seemed nice n’ new like. But wait a sec….what does the rest of it say? *movin’ in for a peek*

“These colors DON’T rule the World”

It was right next to the “Ned Lamont for Senate” and topped with another displaying “Coexist” cleverly written with pagan symbols.

The sooper-sekret spy Moonbat Alarm display instantly alerted me to the situation. Sorry, I can’t reveal the manufacturer of this little gem or how it functions (I’d have to kill you afterwards) but suffice it say it works similar to TCAS for progressives, socialists and smelly hippies. I have the option of maneuver to avoid or engaging my weapons targeting package. Hey, I’m aggressive as the next guy, but it was hot, I’m tired from a full shift so I picked the maneuver to avoid option.

But I couldn’t get that concept out of my head. Utterly correct on one level, yet massively incorrect in it’s context.

I disagree with his premise only slightly, however.&#160 If we don’t rule the world, then why the Hell&#153 are the hoity-toity of the world coming to us&#160 and begging us to put a stop to the Israel-Hezbollah/Hamas/Iran/Syria war?

Moreover, why does the US seem to be accepting the role???

The US is giving Israel a window of a week to inflict maximum damage on Hizbullah before weighing in behind international calls for a ceasefire in Lebanon, according to British, European and Israeli sources.

The Bush administration, backed by Britain, has blocked efforts for an immediate halt to the fighting initiated at the UN security council, the G8 summit in St Petersburg and the European foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels.

“It’s clear the Americans have given the Israelis the green light. They [the Israeli attacks] will be allowed to go on longer, perhaps for another week,” a senior European official said yesterday. Diplomatic sources said there was a clear time limit, partly dictated by fears that a prolonged conflict could spin out of control.

Memo to Shrimpya:&#160 Seems to me that the Israelis are big boys and can “handle up” on their own business.&#160 (For the moment, I’ll not delve into how they seem to be doing a better job of handling a bunch of ragheaded Islamofascist terrorist fucks than we are.)

You might consider just backing off and admiring the Israelis’ fine work.

That’s&#160 how you fight a war – with brass knucks instead of kid gloves.
