Sorry, that's a complete waste of time considering that you have, and will, ignore anything of a factual nature. Facts? Please, like facts matter one bit in these "faith-based" times where 100,000 dead Iraqis equals a "humanitarian gesture." Face it Chicken, when it comes down to it, it's my opinion against yours. All the source documents in the world won't come close to changing the mind of a person who refuses to live any place other than his own head. This means you Chicken, and the rest of the pro-war crowd who haunt this forum.
iow, you still got nothing but more rhetoric and knee-jerk accusations.

No surprise.

You are a self-deluded ignoramus, chicken. You've developed a pattern that is all too familiar here. When presented with facts that burst your fantasy you ignore them and spout nonsense.

1,900 U.S. soldiers dead and no end in sight because people like you continue to ignore the truth and support the criminals, the war profiteers, who lied us into this quagmire.
3000 dead and a trillion+ economic header because bleeding heart morons like you wouldn't take the proper actions in the first place. So put your putrid little waggly finger away, toad boy.

Care to englighten us on what were the pre-9/11(I'm assuming you are refering to 9/11 with the 3000 dead) actions to take?

"Attack Iraq, Iran, Syria (and North Korea for good measure)!!! When the dust clears, force-feed the survivors Christianity and foreign-controlled democracy!!! That'll teach those towel-heads (and slant-eyes) not to mess with us!!!" Right Chicken? 😉
We should have offered them therapy and understanding instead, right HeadCase? 😉

Come on you sh1t-for-brains, war-mongering swine, do better than that. Isn't it interesting that you forum goons can spout invective like sperm whales, but then accuse anyone who reciprocates of mental instability? Coward, crybaby, hypocrite, dullard, cretin are just a few of the descriptors that jump to mind, Chicken.

Chicken, sorry to burst your bubble again but all of the investigations, other than the right wing wackos you site, have determined that Saddam/Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11 or terrorism. And now we KNOW Saddam had no WMD either.

Now why are all of these American troops and Iraqi civilians dead?

No, we should have wiped them out in Afghanistan instead of wasting resources on the wrong war at the wrong time in Iraq.

I'll give you a hint though: Don't let emotions rule your mind. Hate betrays rational thought.

I don't recall asking your permission to do anything, or for any advice, you pompous wind-bag. Again, your self-righteuous prattle and worldview have about as much integrity as a collander, and we both know it. Now, rattle off another bromide\factoid for me to laugh at.
Thanks for making my point so vivdly. You really should learn to control your rage.

Uh huh. You mean like all those folks proclaiming Iraq would be a failure for the last 2+ years?

btw, I already presented the facts about Glaspie when the spinmeisters went ballistic because yet another canard of the left had been destroyed and they had no rebuttal. Do you care to debate it in any sensible fashion, since the others obviously can't without turning into 12 year old boys.

My statement had nothing to do with any Saddam/9/11 connection, BBond. But with your raging myopia and simplistic lefty talking points, I'm not surprised that's were you'd go.

That is a lie. Saddam did have ties to terrorism - it is a proven fact. But hey, if you want to be a liar - you go right ahead and continue to post lies.

No problem Shades of Hysteria. I'll take your word over the 9/11 Commission and the U.S. intel community any day.

I still demand to know what you would have done different pre-9/11 to prevent it, I mean you critcize people for doing nothing, surely you have the answer.

The chicken doesn't find it the least bit strange that while us bleeding heart morons were running things no one was flying airliners into buildings.

It took his big bad cowboy cheerleader to accomplish that.

Please everyone stay on topic and force an answer out of Chicken, he seems to know everything and how he woulda stopped 9/11.

My word is just an echo of the FACTS and do not contradict the 9/11 commision in the least. You seem to not understand what terrorism is as it seems you think that terrorism is only OBL. But even still, there ARE links no matter how many time you lie and distort things.

Oh, and I see you're now in 3rd grade - congrats on your name-calling graduation from 2nd grade. :roll:

9/11 happened on Bush's watch. No excuses cowboy.

Be a man and accept responsiblilty for your failure, Georgie. The Duke wouldn't have danced around pointing fingers and "playing the blame game". He would have admitted his mistake and fixed it. Bush blames someone else and over four years later, as we ALL witnessed after Hurricane Katrina, not one damn thing has been fixed.

As a matter of fact, things have gotten worse.

Whose fault is that? Clinton? Roosevelt? George Washington?

George W.

A brief synospsis from someone who knows.

No Plausible Roadmap to Stability in Iraq: But the Pentagon leadership is unlikely to support a strategy that concedes broad swaths of territory to the enemy. In fact, none of the intelligence officers who spoke with TIME or their ranking superiors could provide a plausible road map toward stability in Iraq. It is quite possible that the occupation of Iraq was an unwise proposition from the start, as many U.S. allies in the region warned before the invasion. Yet, despite their gloom, every one of the officers favors continuing-indeed, augmenting-the war effort. If the U.S. leaves, they say, the chaos in central Iraq could threaten the stability of the entire Middle East. And al-Qaeda sympathizers like al-Zarqawi could have a relatively safe base of operations in the Sunni triangle. ?We have never taken this operation seriously enough,? says a retired senior military official with experience in Iraq. ?We have never provided enough troops. We have never provided enough equipment, or the right kind of equipment. We have never worked the intelligence part of the war in a serious, sustained fashion. We have failed the Iraqi people, and we have failed our troops.?

I would have killed OBL long ago, for his involvement in many other terrorist acts.

Of course, Clinton would have had to have done that and the right fringe would have been screaming their heads off because of it. But right fringe, or left-fringe - like BBond and HeadCase - it really doesn't matter. They are all merely different sides of the same hysterical partisan pie.
 
What's your Fing Idea? Or are you fresh outta ideas? Soldiers get Killed it is a possiblity in their job description. Find one soldier that backs away from Iraq and you'll get yourself a lil pussy for once.

grrrr:disgust:

The current level of violence in Iraq is unmatched. It's the Killing Fields, all over again, courtesy of the USA. What have we done...

You think everything was hunky dory in Iraq before? Should we remind you that Sadaam killed thousands and thousands with weapons of mass destruction already? Hell he even killed off many in his family and many more in the government the first day he had absolute power. Ever seen that footage?

Where I come from, people have eight fingers and two thumbs...ten digits total.

But seeing as they have ten fingers on your planet, I guess it's no surprise you use the decimal system as well.

I won't ask what you do with your thumbs. :laugh:

:thumbsup:

Having read the first post and only a few after there is one thing that annoys me.

Bushes judgement and the act of sending them into Iraq does not kill them. Bush does not kill these soldiers. Yet you people act like he does. Im sure he wishes with all of his heart that none of these terrible tragedies would have happened in his presidency, yet they did; and he is dealing with it in what way he see fit. Seeing as this was going on through out the election, common sense would say that Bush obviously was doing something right or otherwise we would be talking about John Kerry right now.

TO finish up, Bush is not the person that kills these soldiers. The terrorist, and the people who would like nothing more than utter destruction on the free nations of the world, are the people who do this. Not bush...

To prove this think about what Tony Blair said:

"If they could have killed not 5000 but 50,000 does anyone doubt that they would and would have rejoiced in it"

I know many of you dont agree with Bush but please have the decency to acknowledge that he does not wish for these soldiers to die, and im sure that he didn't want any of the innocent civilians (9-11) to die either.

And what precisely does any of this have to do with the US or our national security? Answer: Absolutely nothing. If Iraq wasn't floating on a sea of oil the fed would have happily left the Iraqi people to their fate.

The point is that he put these soldiers there GF, to die and be killed for no good reason, against people who have done nothing to us, and who didn't seek war with us. Whether Bush wants them to die really isn't the issue, that he's willing to sacrifice them for nothing, however, is.
