What military guys?

From the yahoo article...

The top Marine Corps officer in Iraq, Lt. Gen. James Conway, said on Friday U.S. intelligence was "simply wrong" in leading military commanders to fear troops were likely to be attacked with chemical weapons in the March invasion of Iraq that ousted Saddam.

Damn peace pussy liberals in out Marines...damn them! :p

WTF are you talking about. No sh!t the intel was wrong, there was no attack. I didn't need Lt. Gen. Obvious to tell me that. That is all he's doing you know. Just stating the obvious. Intel is constantly wrong. If you had the right clearance . . .

Look, no need to get your panties all in a bunch, I was just pointing out where my military guys comment was coming from. I was just answering your question. Relax..

He said wrong, but others are saying cooked. Cooked would be wrong no?, but of another dimension than error.

Big difference in being wrong and lying. Big difference. One is forgivable after pennance. The other is not. Despite the infoulable duck test I am still waiting on proof Bush lied or the books were cooked. If they were there will be hell to pay. One Master Chief friend buried a son and another friend buried a brother. Blair and Powell are sticking to their guns. I'm trying to keep the faith.

Now you are the one sounding like a...err..nevermind..I won't stoop to your level. Let me get this straight though. You think that by reading my posts here, you can discern how I act in...you know..real life? You have no idea about who I am, so do us both a favor and don't assume to know me. There is an old joke about assuming, oh wait, you don't understand humor in any form. I almost want to say I feel bad for your kids, but since I don't know you other than your posts here, I won't do anything silly and judge who you are by your posts on an internet forum.

I make any decisions about you based solely on how you post on this board. I of course have no way of knowing if you have some Jekyll and Hyde complex. If you wish to troll forums and in ?real life? be a gentleman that of course is your choice.


Ahhh...the need to resort to personal attacks...the tool of the truly ignorant. As I said before, but you seem to need everything explained several times, is that you made a comment about my posting, so I made a comment about you using your sentence structure. Simple...err..to everyone but you that is.

I simply wondered what you thought interesting about an article that is based on a misquote. Read the article again. You don?t have to explain things several times, you never explained it for the first time.

Well, maybe you should have just said.. "What in that article was relevant?". The article refers to to the topic at hand. If you can't understand that, than that is your problem, and not my duty to explain it to you.

'Why is it interesting', 'why was the article relevant.' Both seem quite similar in meaning. Of course you were the one that said it was interesting with no futher explanation as to why you thought that it was. If you don?t want to explain than I can understand that reasoning. I wouldn?t want to explain posting that article either.

Tell you what etech, you don't like my posts, that's your problem and you need to deal with it. This is a public forum that is moderated. I will post in any manner or style I choose, and if the mods have a problem with it, they can take the appropiate action. I'm done arguing with you, and I think we should let the thread get back on topic. Have a nice evening..

As you can deal with mine if you don?t like them. You can stop complaining about someone lacking a sense of humor anytime though. PKB
