Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
Will North Korea launch nuclear missiles towards the U.S.A

Jesus Christ, IL, it was obviously a joke.

I am deliberately trying to keep these threads open, so if people start with “jokes” others start with so called jokes about ex presidents and other people may not like that joke and problems arise. It’s a slippery slope and nobody can be sure that one post of a current president will lead to various other opinions and we get in trouble. If you just stick with NK, it should be fine.

It turned out that USA is not that different from North Korea when it comes to free speach.

Butt you don’t spell “free speach” like that. :-D

And you don’t spell butt like an @$$ :-D

The spelling of “Butt” has a special meaning to me and a few other posters from other sites who also post here. It was a hidden joke of sorts.

I think we found that Sir Mix-a-lot plays board games.

This whole thread is political.
Yes, but it has not devolved into the bashing, blame-slinging, so-and-so politician is an a%#hat, sort of stuff that got the political discussion board shut down. It has remained civil and avoided any sort of ‘partisan bent’ and been mostly a strategy discussion.
Yes butt that korean retard jim jong sung II want to nuke us, man, he want to nuke us straigt to h*ll, and how bizare it must be, we are not allowed to call him names, because we must be political correct and not offend nor insult any criminal lame retard moron whatsoever, even if it is pretty obvious that it was just this kind of BS appeasement policy that got the world deep into st in 1939, and I figure that all this lame st is gonna happen again, a** it did last time, butt this time you cant blame it on europe.
I also like the way he says a** it did last time. I wonder if that was on purpose? :-D
