Let’s hope our President finds the wars soon, and that the wars are safe. [NYT]

I utterly fail to see the relevency of this post to boning Argentine poon.

WickedWitch June 24, 2009 at 9:53 pm

Does this mean we’ll have pix of Iraq and Afghanistan on our milk cartons?

Mahousu June 24, 2009 at 9:55 pm

I don’t think Obama should spend any time looking for those wars; they weren’t very good to start with. Just go out and buy a couple of new ones.

hockeymom June 24, 2009 at 9:59 pm

I think they’re somewhere along the Appalachian trail.

gjdodger June 24, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Why didn’t Bush think of that? All he was trying to find were Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Johnny Zhivago June 24, 2009 at 10:02 pm

A lot better to misplace a war than lose it!

x111e7thst June 24, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Are our wars in Argentina? Just cold driving down the coast?

facehead June 24, 2009 at 10:10 pm

The U.N. really needs to start a lost and found. Remember when Liechtenstein went missing for a whole week back in 86? Turned out it too was sleeping with some big boobed hoochey from Argentina, but still, we were worried sick!

Words June 24, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Hide ‘n go seek? I once was lost, but now I’m found? The dog ate my war?

Come here a minute June 24, 2009 at 10:14 pm

I don’t know where the wars went, and neither do their spouses or security details, but their government vehicles were spotted at the local airport.

They could also be with my car keys.

DC Spring June 24, 2009 at 10:37 pm

To lose one would be unfortunate, two is merely careless.

magic titty June 24, 2009 at 10:39 pm

I’ve found these wars to have sucked terribly.

[re=347709]Mahousu[/re]: Shit, it took us ten years to build Saddam Hussein up into a credible adversary and how often do third world Islamic extremist governments simply step up and volunteer to get smoked?
These are two gold plated, USDA/Trilateral Commission grade ‘A’ perma-wars which represent two decades of effort for the Neo-Con fringe.
The guiding principle today however isn’t ideological, it’s pragmatic. These wars are stimulative for the economy while simultaneously reminding everyone that all Republicans are violent retards who fuck up everything they touch.

“Signing a war-finding bill”

Is that by any chance be a metaphor for something else? Like “Hiking in the Appalachians” is?

Tra June 24, 2009 at 10:49 pm

It’s OK. Republicans will find us some more.

John Thune June 24, 2009 at 10:53 pm

Finders keepers, I say. Maybe we’ll get lucky and North Korea will find Afganistan or something.

azw88 June 24, 2009 at 10:53 pm

Is that a war in your pocket, or you just happy to invade me.

John Thune June 24, 2009 at 10:54 pm

[re=347742]Jenny Sanford[/re]: damn it.

octupletsmom June 24, 2009 at 10:58 pm

Don’t we have a family plan for these contingencies? Like when my younger son was, um, misplaced at the Renaissance Faire?

Smoke Filled Roommate June 24, 2009 at 11:03 pm

Why don’t they just wage war on Pottery Barn and then the whole thing could come full circle..

DC Spring June 24, 2009 at 11:07 pm

[re=347744]Joshua Norton[/re]: Ah, an OOW. I would apologize, but not in a four-letter month.

artbot2000 June 24, 2009 at 11:36 pm

Loosely quoting Dan Quayle:

“What a TERRIBLE thing it is to lose one’s war, or never to have had a war to begin with, how true those words are, even today…”

19kevin8 June 24, 2009 at 11:57 pm

I don’t have a clue where they were, but they’ll undoubtedly be in the last place they look. Now if they could just remember where they had them last…

[re=347713]hockeymom[/re]: “along the Appalachian trail”

I would have posted that first, if only I could have spelled Appalachia.

DustBowlBlues June 25, 2009 at 12:03 am

[re=347744]Joshua Norton[/re]: Kudos for getting the Oscar Wilde tribute. Not that I would have.

S.Luggo June 25, 2009 at 12:15 am

[re=347717]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Those were Reagan’s last words before Alzheimer’s set in. For that reason Oakland was bombed rather than Vladivostok. T’ant pis.

[re=347702]WadISay[/re]: War on the Mooslins! You know, they bein’ war-mongerin’ polygamists and all, who hate our dumbocracy and libertines.

Surely this was something slipped into the bill by John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Does the bill also say “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran”?

MrsNateSilver June 25, 2009 at 1:44 am

Oh the devil with the print screen function. Can’t but edit nothin’ nowadays. Obv what this is is a case of budget cuts leading to copywriting responsibilities going to the interns, and chilruns these daze rely solely on there Spell Checker for correct usage. (Yes, I did that on purpose if u caught it.) I saw this epidemic hit the local papers last year and now, sadly, it has spread to the Grey Lady. It’s the end of Proper Usuage 4-eva. RIP.

TGY June 25, 2009 at 5:39 am

Shouldn’t cost much. Wars are noisy and hence pretty easy to find.

KilgoreTrout_XL June 25, 2009 at 8:21 am

Just cut Michael Goldfarb open like they did in Jaws.

After you sift through the license plates, dead hookers, and undigested spam, i bet you find at least one or two little skirmishes in there.

Humpback June 25, 2009 at 9:04 am

It’s a typo. Should be “Obama Sings about Bill O’Reilly going to War.”

Min June 25, 2009 at 10:36 am

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Dreckster June 25, 2009 at 12:28 pm

What’s all the hoopla about? We’ll learn in the next few days that the wars just wanted to go off alone, clear their heads, and such. Maybe even get laid. Leave’em be, I say.

[re=347744]Joshua Norton[/re]: Concur! Pass the cucumber sandwiches!

wolfshirts June 25, 2009 at 2:58 pm

I remember when I was a kid. Me and the neighborhood war would steal a couple of apples from the kitchen counter and be gone for hours.
