After outrage, Team USA uniforms will be made in America

...six Democratic senators said they plan to introduce legislation requiring the ceremonial uniforms be produced in the United States.

The senators said they will introduce the "Team USA Made In America Act of 2012" next week.

"I call on the USOC (U.S. Olympic Committee) to do the right thing for this summer's team, and I call on my colleagues to help pass this bill to ensure we don't find ourselves in this appalling, embarrassing situation before the opening of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics," Menendez said.

THANK GOD!! HOLY FUCK! We are saved at last.

I know the Senate Democrats haven't passed a budget in over three years, but I see now that they were focused on truly important issues such as Olympic uniforms and what Roger Clemens knew and when he knew it.

Outfuckingstanding...

It's Bush's fault and those damned obstructionist Republicans. Harry Reid will save us.

this calls for a filibuster

If you had even a clue about human anatomy you'd know that it's impossible for a sphincter to go through anything.

On the other hand a large mass, similar in consistency and function to your brain, has been through my sphincter this morning. Which is a primary reason why I'm in a (relatively) good mood.

This entire uniform discussion is yet another blowjob to the unions from the democunts.

So look for
The Union label...

That would explain why Republicans have been equally indignant, you knee-jerk cretin.

Clemens is a 'roid ragin' a-hole of the first order and his inclusion in the hall Of Fame would be as disgraceful as giving this pathetic puppet "Viceroy of Iraq" the "medal Of Freedom" ...Oh... :doh:

Hi, keep your eye on the disappearing billions...suckers..

Are you stuck in some sort of timeloop? Paul Bremer? He's been gone for over eight years, idiot.

Why do you have to be such a spoil-sport? C'mon, let him have this.

Did you blow out other kids candles at their birthday parties too?

:x

I don't see "Republican" anywhere in those lines, you fossilized fartblossom.

And NO...."At least they're not AP" isn't the answer I'm looking for.

it's just the olympics, who really gives a flying fucking squirrel cock?

More idiocy from our cymbal clacking affirmative action monkey in chief:

'If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen.'

As if the most embarassingly stupid, fuckwitted halfbreed ever to disgrace the White House would know fuck all about starting a business.

Of all the foolheaded persuasions this fraudulant fuck has tried to pass off, this might be right up near the very top of the list.

Somebody else made that happen??

Oh sure.

The heavy business (and personal) taxes Mr. Businessman had to pay didn't go toward the roads, bridges, etc. that he used to help their business succeed?


Barry's act right there is nothing less than a total embarrassment.

That being the case, I expect Foolix and his trusty kneepads to show up in here any minute now.

Watch something other than Fox news, you slack-jawed fuckwit.

So...just forget about it? Well the missing billions are still missing, the medal of freedom is still hanging disgracefully on his chest, and the American military machine is still deployed in that ruined nation--which is now the best friend of Iran. Nice job Bremmy!

Lost on you of course is the central and principal role Bremer played as faux Viceroy, and that was lining up and nailing down unfettered corporate control of Iraq's resources and production. And all of this is still ongoing.

Sure, let's just forget everything of the Chimp era--that would be nice. But the nightmare isn't over yet. :twisted:

LTS TRN 2 wrote:So...just forget about it? Well the missing billions are still missing,

The money was spent. Yes his accounting controls were borderline criminally negligent, but you could say that about every agency in the Federal government. There was; however, no evidence of any personal corruption.

Not in the least. He got the ball rolling towards a constitutional form of government in a primitive wasteland with a population that had been whipped and abused for decades. That is no simple task which is a fact that seems to be lost on you.

What, Hannity already gave you your official Iraq report? A "primitive wasteland"? Really? You mean the nation with the highest education level, most rights for women, and richest by far? Sure, the ten years of punitive sanctions had hobbled Iraq, though it was still thriving. As for its destruction by the American invasion, this is undisputed and ongoing. What you're robustly oblivious about--and really proud of--is the fact I mentioned--that of American corporations getting their hooks in long-term on major Iraqi industries and agrarian production. you know, with exclusive contracts that they were forced to agree on. As for the missing billions being "spent," well no, they were not spent at all--that's what "missing" means. The defense department 's story has not changed--they cannot account for $6.6 Billion, period. Sure, it was eight long years ago, but the crime and mendacity continues to this day.

You can save the bullshit for someone who doesn't know any better. I've been there twice. How about you?

WTF??? Iraq is a governmental hiccup away from becoming another Somalia. Of course, you wouldn't know this if you've never been there...

Thriving? Only an idiot of the highest order would include that word and Iraq in the same sentence.

LTS TRN 2 wrote:Sure, the ten years of punitive sanctions had hobbled Iraq, though it was still thriving.

Uhm... you know that at least 3% of their population starved to death in that period, right?

I guess "thriving" IS a subjective term.

Well the Baath Party elites were certainly thriving and well educated...at Western universities. Everybody else? Maybe not so much.

Felchie has always been a sucker for a Potemkin village scenario.

Pretty sure the Kurds wouldn't quite agree with Nick's assessment either.

Also, I loved how he conveniently forgot to include "...at least compared to their backwards-ass Islamic neighbors" when he posted this...

Not only had Iraq developed the best economy in the region, but the best health care, education, women's rights, and general safety. Sure, Saddam was a brutal dictator, but the first object of his repression was the Shiite model of primitive Sharia law. This is why the women in Iraq were educated and not all wearing table cloths, for starters. Indeed the Kurds did not share in this (and still don't)--but this is entirely the fault of the British in ignoring the sound advice of T.E. Lawrence in 1919

Here's a snap shot of what Iraq was really like. If you believe the Hannity auto-gibberish of mall Cop, you shouldn't even get out of bed.

Did you copy that off of a Baath Party brochure...or what? When was the last time you were in Iraq or any other country in the mideast? Have you ever even been to another country?

Has Nick been to any of those countries? Hell, I often wonder whether he's ever even been to this one.

Your tedious squirming is duly noted. I haven't been to the moon, but a lot of experts have--and their experience is now ours. The invasion and destruction of iraq was an unspeakable war crime based on lies--and carried out on behalf of the rabid race-state experiment in the region. And you are really disgusting.

Have you ever even left your mom's basement?

Iraq was a shithole long before we showed up to bounce the rubble. On its best day it couldn't hold a candle to Dubai or the other Gulf Coast Emirates. Hell, even Kuwait blows Iraq away.

Our "Gulf Coast Emirates"...

The emir's palace...



A royal wedding...



Princes playing with the family pet...



The president and vice president...



The Royal Council...



The army...



The navy...



The air force...



Fine dining...



Beautiful people...



Pristine white-sand beaches...



World-class entertainment...



Magnificent shopping...



A tourist's dream...



Come, enjoy the endless splendor of the real Gulf Coast! Book your vacation of a lifetime now!

I think I can hear Jsc gently sobbing...

ROLL TIDE!!

The guy in the middle looks like spray, but about 200 lbs lighter.

Uh...guys...those are pictures of America! Yeah..all that hillbilly shit? That's YOUR country.

Here's Iraq



Of course we've destroyed this rich and beautiful land as best we could--on direct orders of the ruthless apartheid state nearby. Iraq is not just some tiny haven for billionaires like Dubai. And the million or so civilians we murdered will not be forgotten. And you are disgusting.

A picture of some "resort" (using the term loosely) hotel pool, a very simple concrete bridge and a skyline of antiquated low-rise buildings. Not quite getting the "rich and beautiful" aspect you are trying to insinuate with that picture there Sparky.

It looks a hell of a lot better than Detroit or Baltimore or Chicago. Of course the point is that we've destroyed Iraq and murdered a million civilians in the process. Iraq is now the best friend of Iran. Your widdled dome is packed with lame propaganda--most of it to distract your timid attention and forget the disastrous results of the last time you were fooled.

LTS TRN 2 wrote:It looks a hell of a lot better than Detroit or Baltimore or Chicago.

There are no upscale areas in Detroit, Baltimore or Chicago? Are you sure about that?

No, Iraq is not destroyed and, as usual, your "estimate" of Iraqi deaths is so wildly exaggerated as to be completely ridiculous. If you're just going to make up numbers, why not go for the gusto? Maybe it's ten million or even twenty million? Hell, we probably killed eleventy billion Iraqis.

The point is that you are a complete idiot/liar. You don't even have the slightest idea of what it would take to kill a million people.

The whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks today released a trove of classified reports that it said documented at least 109,000 deaths in the Iraq war, more than the United States previously has acknowledged, as well as what it described as cases of torture and other abuses by Iraqi and coalition forces.

"The reports detail 109,032 deaths in Iraq, comprised of 66,081 'civilians'; 23,984 'enemy' (those labeled as insurgents);

was that taken in a the 50's?

jesus christ. you take cock sucking douchebag moronic twithead cunt to a whole new level.

No, it's not the 1950's at all. Why do you have such a skewed version of the facts?.....Oh yeah, your head is regularly packed with total bullshit. Iraq was a great and rich nation despite having a paranoid and brutal dictator. Fuck the Zionazi assholes who insist on attacking nations in the Middle East . It's been an unspeakable disgrace ever since we installed the Shah in Iran after deposing the duly elected secular president. Fuck you.

As for the number of Iraqis murdered by our heinous invasion,
