Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
From Malaysiakini In Putrajaya, Dr M doesn't skimp on sexual innuendos Versey:
This satanic old fox is getting more and more unbecoming and disgusting
that his foul mouth brings great shame to all right and reasonable
thinking Malaysians. When he talked about "This ‘dirty' work
stinks, how could one do such thing? So people like this cannot be prime
minister", it is a precise description of no other person than this
wicked ex-premier himself. Shame on him and his family. It is nigh time that someone in his family should do their best to put a bridle on his mouth.
Hang Tuah:
I attended Dr Mahathir Mohamad's ceramah, too, though I am neutral. My
friends were there too. Many people are saying, "Ini dah terlampau." If
you believe in Allah, how come you are behaving this way. If this is
the way you conduct your campaign, BN and Umno will be finished. Mind
you, many Umno members also do not agree with the way you conducted the
ceramah. Jiminy Qrikert: The
court has cleared Pakatan Rakyat leader Anwar Ibrahim. The rakyat have
embraced Anwar as PM-in-waiting. Anwar has forgiven Mahathir for sending
him to jail for six years. Anwar has emerged from this
incarceration stronger than ever. There is nothing that Mahathir can now
say or do that will stop Anwar's march to Putrajaya. Anwar will be PM
come May 6. Tholu: Tun, you have lost the moral
high ground to talk about the morality of others when you have resorted
to cheap and shameful character assassination instead of debating and
countering the opposition's argument on pertinent policy matters that
would mould the social and economic future of this country. To
you, the future of Malaysia seems to revolve only around sexual
activities. Is the corruption, abuse of power, cronyism and nepotism (by
which one of your children became the 13th richest man in Malaysia)
which you passionately pursued, pristine acts of morality? And to think you were once the prime minister of this nation. Shame on you. CQ Muar: Mahathir
will go down in history as Malaysia's dirtiest former PM ever. This
dictator is getting more senile by the day, most definitely caused by
fear as the GE gets nearer. He knows his so-called power and all
the crimes will come to an abrupt end, followed by long arms of the law
in which he will be penalised accordingly. The majority of the rakyat
are looking forward to this day when Mahathir, his cronies and all at
Umno will be punished. The evils and crimes are way too complex
to elaborate - therefore, this nation reserves the right to put an end
to all those responsible so that this country will be free and
democratic which it rightfully deserves. May the wishes of the
rakyat be blessed and answered in order that we can proudly stand as
one, Malaysians with dignity and honour, free of racism. Therefore,
let's pool our resources and attention towards a better tomorrow -
terminate the corruptible leeches once and for all, vote for change on
May 5.
Cala: Indeed, author Barry Wain (2009,
2012) was correct in his assessment of Umno. After ruling Malaysia for
so many years, the ruling elites have been accustomed to act for
themselves that they have lost the vision they preached when they first
started. So Umno is now a party without any idea and direction of
what they should do next. For clue, see the everyday rhetoric and
rumblings of Mahathir. Talk about corruption, the easiest way to
appreciate the magnitude of abuse of power is in the award of
independent power plants (IPPs) licences during Mahathir's tenure. I
remember reading the annual operating profit of some two dozens of them,
each making anything from RM200 million to RM800 million a year. Check
it up yourself. One religious ex-TNB chairperson refused to
partake in the scheme when he said he did not want future Malaysians to
urinate on his grave. AnakPinang: At 87, this
man is still unrepentant. Engaging in gutter politics, using the lowest
common denominator and harping on the past grievances speak of a petty,
spiteful and vengeful character - one which till today has only venom to
spew. Mahathir may be an old man, but age has not watered the
evil in his character. He claims he will not be PM forever, but the
rakyat know better. Anwar was acquitted of charges, yet this
Muslim dredges up smut and innuendos to humiliate and shame. To those of
you who had voted for this monster, I hope you are ashamed. Ghkok: Mahathir,
no one believes you any more. You have lost all credibility. You have
lost all integrity. You have lost all respect. You have lost all
dignity. You continue to slander (fitnah) a much respected,
pious, dignified and competent leader called Anwar, who have tons of
integrity more than you. You slandered, tortured, humiliated and
persecuted him, and yet he chose not to seek vengeance. Such is
the character of the person. In 2004, Amnesty International declared
Anwar a prisoner of conscience. Mahathir, it's time for you to look for
your own conscience, for surely even you have some of that. Omega: Anwar
can never be clean as long as he is in Umno. When he was sacked and
arrested, I thought that he was a goner for good. But despite of all the
odds stacked against him, he bounced back strongly as the leader of
Pakatan. This is no fluke and money cannot buy this, Anwar has to
be a person made of strong substance in order to pull through all
these. So how can you say he is not fit to lead us? How many of us can
actually survived what Anwar had gone through? Billy The Kid: Anwar's
sexual orientation is not important to me, Mahathir. I am very much
concerned about how our national leaders run this country. Talking
about corruption and manipulation in politics, you are the very person
who has mastered it all. Don't try to hoodwink the rakyat anymore.
Billions of dollars of enriching yourself, family and cronies not
enough?
Mohican: What an unforgiving,
vindictive, irreligious, irrepressible and self-centered character who
is in a mighty hurry to save the ill-begotten loot stolen from the
people. He is afraid if somebody else is the PM, he and his children will be exposed and his followers will end up in jail. Abasir: I
am sure that he shares jokes of a sexual nature with his grandchildren.
He has no qualms doing so. He is the reason Islam in Malaysia is
perceived as a religion obsessed with sex and nothing else.
