.....You wear it.

I hope you read the article I linked in the previous post.

Why should I read it? I don't need to read what someone else's opinion is in order to form mine.

I already know what I think, anybody of fighting age who is as strongly in favor of this war as your are ought to put up or shut up. Leadership through example is something I highly respect, but the "do as I say, not as I do" method of leasdership is something that commands no respect..... at least from me.

I hope you are able to see the hypocrisy in those words, especially coming from you. "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" is the hallmark of the party and agenda you represent.

Your lame chickenhawk arguments are expected, given your political persuasion. And summarily dismissed as the bullshit they are. :thumbsdown: :| :thumbsdown:

PS I love how anyone who dares to suggest something other than throwing up the white flag and running is considered "in favor" of war. Perhaps in your partisan blinders you are unable to realize that one can be against such a path and not be a "war monger" or whatever the term of the week happens to be. And how dare someone ask a few questions before asking Blackwater to be strung up for murder! :roll:

It's true, and maybe you can realize that not everyone who's opposed to the current path supports "throwing up the white flag and running".

When did I say they were?

LOL, as much as you want to think otherwise, I can't be a chickenhawk. 1.) I don't support the war and 2.) I'm so old the service would't take me even if I paid them.

Didn't your parents teach you not to interrupt adult conversations yet. :laugh:

You accused me, not the other way around. Such arguments are the lowest form of scum, as they question the patriotism of the other person. I don't do that, and I'd ask you to refrain from doing it as well. There's no reason why two opposing viewpoints can't co-exist without resorting to such trash.

Sorry but I would never expect someone else to do something I'm not willing to do myself if I perfectly capable of doing it.

and you're assuming there would be such an effort...

Why not? Start the discussion in UN and figure out what condition and who want to get involved. I am sure ME nations will be more than happy to take over the reconstruction efforts with US money, and US is not the only one capable of teaching army recruits. But I guess the Administration won't hand money over unless it's someone with good connections like BW.
