Dodd: when u have a military hammer everything looks like a country u can bomb the shit out of

Newtie: look at me im condescending and wrong all the time

Russert: yeah yeah

Newt: are we prepared to accept and legislate defeat look at i know how troops in combat think i played with a lot of toy soliders during vietnam

Russert: well there you go

Newt: we need to bomb Iran, North Korea, Waziristan, Hamas, Russia, Estonia, London and New Jersey

Tim: ok

Newt: the forces of freedom are on retreat!

Tim: scary

Newt: Malestrom of evil!

Tim: Dodd what if we left and Iraq got chaotic

Dodd: um dood iraq is not exactly Nantucket right now -- criminy's there a fucking civil war going on as we speak

Tim: interesting

Dodd: there is no military solution - yeah there could there be problems if we leave but America has been weakened and Chickenhawk Newt isn't helping

Newt: dood i wrote three fucking fictional novels so i know what i'm talking about!!

Tim: that makes him an expert Chris

Newt: we have a higher standard for Iraqi parliament than for Nancy Pelosi who sux here's what we should do -- we should win!!!

Russert: brilliant but how

Newt: easy Iraqi biometric id cards, more young republicans in Iraq, encourage iraqis to try really hard, also blockade the nation of Iran

Russert: well that sounds very simple

Dodd: oh yeah thats just great but the iraqis don't even want to fight this war for god's sake

Newt: iraq is not the heart of the war of terror - we need to fight the shia and sunni both want to destroy freedom as we know it - we can win this war like we did in WWII if really really wanted to

Russert: USA! USA!

Newt: we could lose an American city

Russert: can you imagine if we lost a city to bombing or flooding

Newt: we should never talk to iran or syria

Dodd: Reagan talked to the soviets

Newt: all right fine lets to talk to them but Reagan had a grand strategery involving the pope to take down the USSR

Russert: so impressive

Newt: this is just like America in 1776 would the French have given up on us if the colonies were in total chaos and thousands were being killed in random attacks and if French troops came to help us and several of them were killed every single day in attacks by colonials and Americans would never fight would the French have pulled out??

Dood: dood um for sure

Russert: firm date?

Newt: that would send sublimal messages to our troops to try to avoid getting killed and we can't have that

Russert: good point

Newt: look at Fort Dix terrorists will come here just as soon as their Frequent Terror Miles kick in

Dodd: i feel like I'm debating a total nutcase

Tim: thank you for yur civility - so Newtie r u running?

Newt: i have silver hair

Dood: dood my eyebrowz rule over u
