'We're Losing!'


J$P Audio! William Arkin thinks our troops in Iraq are getting "obscene amenities". John Gibson disagrees.



From The John Gibson Show, February 1 2007:

Gibby jousts with Arkin, who wrote that US troops in Iraq are like mercenaries, and takes a few calls [mp3 audio].

Title: Free speech ping-pong
Excerpt: UPDATE 4: Johnny Dollar has audio of Arkin on Gibson’s radio show. Hat tip: Malkin. PONG!
No, Gong, as in “The Gong Show!” Arkin needs a few days away from the pressure of opining to clear his head. He’s cracking.

Title: It's called "Cojones Envy." (Multiple updates)
Excerpt: I guess when you don't have what it takes to be a real man all that's left is to try to drag down those who do. It's beginning to smell way too much like the '60s again.

As a Desert Storm vet, I can tell you from personal experience, support for the troops is define by the effect, not the intent.
 
Semper Fi.

Thanks for posting that, Johnny.
You know, listening to Arkin squeal and fizz (when Gibson chinned him on his revolting "opinion piece") went a long way towards explaining why Veruca Arkin doesn't do a radio show.
The spiteful little article couldn't bring himself to apologize for referring to U.S. soldiers as mercenaries; even after admitting, in his follow-up piece, that he was "wrong".
Go ahead & screech with your fingers in your ears while stamping your feet in fury, Billy. Just stand over by the wall, there, where you won't get hurt.

William Arkin sounds a lot like Peter Haskett in "Shut Up Little Man." I bet he's related.

Does it really surprise anyone that this imp speaks in the lispy, squealy voice that he does? 
 
What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

In the words of Arnold: "What a girlie-man". Yet another moonbat showing his true colors. Pathetic.

"We're Losing! We're Losing!! WE'RE LOSING!!!"
 
Why, Mr. Douchebag, do you think that is? Could it be the constant cowardice trumpeted by you and your yellow-bellied ilk? What a shrill, disgusting idiot. 
 
I'm half tempted to get a subscription to the WaPo just so I can cancel it.

He does sound a bit testosterone challenged, doesn't he? Or maybe he's been sucking on the helium too much.
Otherwise, instead of terming him a veruca, may I suggest condylomata and in particulat lata?

Arkin is a traitor ... plain and simple ... He should be prosecuted as a traitor and have the sentence for treason during war carried out as soon as possible.
