If thats the case, then why are you here writing this?
Hell, instead you should be over there helping your BUDDY BUSH win the BIG ONE. (That he started)which has cost the lives of over 30 thousand plus American service personel that have been wounded, and killed for that pip squeak Bush,and his over zealous vice, and his Haliburton conglomerate) and least we forget the BILLION's it has cost us that we'll be paying for, for the next 2 generation's.

You are an ignorant, obnoxious ass who has no argument for somone who supports the President besides "why aren't you over there fighting". We still have a voulnteer military and it needs to stay thet way. Everyone is not cut out to serve and short of an all-out world war shouldn't be made to. Come up with another argument. You are simply a basher with no clue.
I've spent the last 18 years of my life in the military. I lost an uncle in Vietnam and our country lost a war there because of bleeding heart, p***y ass liberals. If you don't know what the **** you are talking about and have no better argument that "Go fight for your buddy Bush" go the hell away.quote:Originally posted by Delldude:quote:Originally posted by Southern Patriot:quote:Originally posted by Delldude:quote:Originally posted by Big Bubba:

How's this ****-head,for obnoxious?
I did mine in Viet-Nam as a Grunt. What were you doing besides blowing off? You know what a grunt does? they do the work cowards like your self are too scared to do. 50 thouand plus died for your sorry ass because "it just wasn't an all out war" HOW ******* STUPID can you get, no just a cope-out to get out of getting your sorry a** shot off by those little guys in black who we as Grunts looked up too because they also fought for what they believed, and believe this too they were as tough as nails. Where were you? Your lazy a** was probably hiding out in some dormatory playing with the girls telling everyone "ITS NOT A BG ENOUGH WAR FOR ME TO GET INVOLVED IN" I think I figured your sorry a** out quick HUH?
Now how do you like my obnoxious ways now ignorant a**

We have GOT to stand up and get the good soldiers home before more soldiers like the ones in that video can do more damage.

There are bad individuals in every conflict. You can go back through evey battle, from every conflict ever fought and find them. To say that a few spoil the purpose of the many is ridiculous.

I said it in another post and I'll say it again in this one: it's funny how the whole of Catholic clergy are indicted on the sins of a few, but as soon as soldiers are involved in the discussion everyone pulls out the "one bad apple" line of reasoning. It's inconsistent to say the least.

I don't know this for fact, but, it would not surprise me if the number of "bad apples" in the military and the number in clergy are comparable. Considering the number of clergymen in the world, the few that have been noted in media would make for a miniscule ratio. However, more of these videos are popping up all the time; not to mention the pictures that have come to light.
I believe that these examples are illustrated well with the iceberg concept: for every one that emerges there is a major mass that has not been dicovered. If this holds true, there are several clergymen who are represented by the one makning news. The same could be said of the soldiers, but the number should be much larger since in each instance there are multiple soldiers involved.
I know, I know. This is all illustrative theory. No matter, though. It still proves the inconsistency.

Yep, I forget you know so much more than anyone else.I think we all know that the war in Iraq was based on lies and we know where those lies came from and how the press has covered it up.

You know you can't make that generalization though. Besides, just like the old "squeeky wheel getting the grease" the bad ones will get ALL the publicity. They never show the thousands that get it right every day.

That's exactly my point. I would never make that generalization about soldiers. It just seems like a lot of people are willing to do it with clergy. I guess it's to justify sleeping late on Sunday morning! (ha!)

No one has the right to invade another country unless it is in self defense. If he had any right he wouldn't have lied about it. An unprovoked attack, invasion and occupation of a country is illegal under International Law.
If we thought Saddam was so bad we wouldn't have supported him in the 1980's and help him build up his military.

This lack of regard for non-American life is why we are there in the first place. The CIA started this war with their medling a long long time ago.

You are an ignorant, obnoxious ass who has no argument for somone who supports the President besides "why aren't you over there fighting". We still have a voulnteer military and it needs to stay thet way. Everyone is not cut out to serve and short of an all-out world war shouldn't be made to. Come up with another argument. You are simply a basher with no clue.

There have been numerous reports of US murdering civilians from day one. It has been reported by independent journalists like Aaron Glantz and foreign journalists like Robert Fisk and Iraqi journalists like Dahr Jamal and many others including US sources.
From day one with "shock and awe" killing civilians to those being shot at check points or just indiscriminately on the road or on Iraqi streets. These sources were also reporting abuses of prisoners before the Abu Ghraib scandal broke. The American people are being kept in the dark as to what is really happening. The US government has know admitted that at least one civilians has been killed a day and it's far more then that.
Part of the problem is Bush and has sent soldiers into a hostile environment where they are fighting a guerilla insurgency and they are open targets. They don't know who to trust and live in constant danger, never knowing when the next car bomb will go off or ambush will occur. That's because the Iraqi people don't really want us there.
Security and conditions have deteriorated it's almost where no one knows what to do.
The Iraqi resistance is ready to make a truce with the US if we agree to leave. They will work out the differences with the other militias. Many Iraqi's tried not to make this deteriorate into a civil war. The quicker we leave the better the situation will be. Support for al Qaeda will dry up.

Again with "lies" and "press cover up". Are you realy so blind to the truth that you think the US press would cover up ANYTHING for GWB. Even you know better than that.

You are kidding yourself about Insurgents in Iraq wanting to negotiate. They want us to leave so they can take over the country. Al Qaeda had plenty of support before Iraq and will continue to have support from the Muslim world after we leave Iraq. The sooner you accept that, the clearer you will be able to see things.
