She is **** on a stick.

"Whenever I feel surrounded by darkness and depression and feel like my life is total bitter ****, I go to A2K and look at a sample of JTT's posts and immediately I realize I'm actually happy go lucky" - Any A2K member.

Is "happy go lucky" another American euphemism for "we could give a rat's ass for all the innocents we slaughter"?

Whenever I feel surrounded by darkness and depression and feel like my life is total bitter ****, I go to A2K and look at a sample of the numerous vacuous A2K posts and immediately I realize I'm actually way worse off than I thought. How can we have any hope when there are so many empty-headed sheeple about?

-- Any of the hundreds of millions who have had their lives destroyed by America's rapacious greed.

Yes, as a matter of fact it is. Where you revealing a big secret? Because you forgot to say "AHA!"

That's pretty sad, even as a joke, Bear.

we can be sad together JTT.

Then we need something to be sad about, Bear, and the nutty policies of the USA always provides fertile ground for deeply saddening events.

The U.S. State Department’s “terrorism” reports [3] present a searing indictment of the “war on terror” on its own terms. From 1987 to 2001, the State Department’s “Patterns of Global Terrorism” reports had documented a steady decline in terrorism [4] around the world, from 665 incidents in 1987 to only 355 incidents in 2001. But since 2001, the U.S. “war on terror” has succeeded in fueling the most dramatic and dangerous rise in terrorism ever seen.

The State Department reports seem, at first glance, to show some short-term success, with total terrorist incidents continuing to decline, to 205 incidents in 2002 and 208 in 2003. But the number of more serious or “significant” incidents (involving death, serious injury, abduction, kidnapping, major property damage or the likelihood of such results) was already on the rise, from 123 incidents in 2001 to 172 in 2003.

But then the 2004 report [5], due to be published in March 2005, revealed that the number of incidents had spiked to an incredible 2,177, including 625 “significant” incidents, even though the report excluded attacks on U.S. occupation forces in Iraq. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice took decisive action, not to urgently review this dangerous failure of U.S. policy, but to suppress the report. We only know what it said thanks to whistleblowers who leaked it to the media, and to Larry Johnson [6], an ex-CIA and State Department terrorism expert and a member of Ray McGovern’s Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity [7].
