Moonbeam,

You are an asinine, hypocritcal, nefarious, tool. Lives are spared in the looming war brought on by an evil dictator ruling a country by fear, aggression and weapons of mass destruction and all you can do is criticize an event of this nature by taking more shots at our nation and it's leaders and soldiers. I bet it smells bad and is very dark where you are, or at least where your head is all the time. Your entire statement was a testament to the shaky, piecemeal foundation of all your principals that are composed entirely of baseless claims, uneducated thoughts and ignorance of the real world. To quote a line from a movie that fits you completely, follows below:

"At no point in your rambling, did you even come close to an intelligent thought. I award you no points, may God have mercy on your soul."

BTW, while I don't like you much personally, you can appreciate that myself, my brother, my father, my grandfather and my great grandfather all fought, suffered and/or died on the battlefield for ass hats like you so you can spew your bull$hit freely like you do. A thank you to my family would be nice at least, if you can't support us in any other way. Better yet, save it. I don't want you to steal any more oxygen from the rest of the humans that walk this earth.

There plan is to attack equipment and communications and hope that most of the Iraqi army surrenders cause they don't want to fight for Saddam.

Drudge is the one who broke Monica-Gate when Clinton was President. He is usually pretty accurate but I haven't been a regular reader or anything.

Mmmmmm let me see if I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down:

1. I hate myself, so rather than come to terms with who I am - I identify myself with something which I perceive to have world wide respect.

2. But it's not enough that I identify with something respectable, I have to do it through third person perspective.

3. Then when someone scrutinizes my projected respectable identity, my inner child (we're back in first person now) gets pissed because he can't find his magic mirror!?

4. "The basking in the sun" part... I like that. It's been Snow and Ice for Freakin' EVAR and we could use some sunshine about now!

5. "Bon Mots" Infos!? are you dweebs sharing the same bong water!? :eek:

Well I never called Bush anything like that before. I know Bush stole the Presidency, but I didn't know he was a evil dictator. The rest is right though.

Nice variation on the magic mirror ploy Moonie.


Deliberate misunderstading of what a poster meant. You're reaching new 'highs'.

You're assuming your brethren have been a part of only just wars, ones that were demmed a necessity, crucial to the well being of your country.
They deserve thanks JUST because they went to war? Why thank someone if you do not support the cause, the need to go to war. The ends don't always justify the means. If it was for WW2, or a war of similar gravity, I thank them. But Vietnam and similar mistakes... sorry.

That's prolly the best explaintion of Moonbeam yet. I swear to GOD, if i could filter out a users post it would be his. Moonbeam is bi-polar and deranged individual that i have ever met.

Infos, here's a reply for you:

i·ro·ny

Pronunciation Key (r-n, r-)
n. pl. i·ro·nies

The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning


Here, let me employ some irony for you and Moonbeam.

"The intelligence and worldly knowledge of Infos and Moonbeam is astounding."

Now, go ahead like you always do and take that completely out of context and use it for your own good. Self serving like you do does no one any good. There's also a little something that exists in the world called "honor", maybe neither of you are familiar with it. That's okay, I understand. Carry on...

While Vietnam and other "simialar mistakes" were "bad wars" its not the soldiers, officers or fighter pilots decision to take part in war. They go where they are told and regardless of your opinion they are still risking their lives. What your saying is that you would thank a police officer, fire fighter or Medic if they saved someone you liked but if they saved somebody who you disliked they don't desire the same respect.

Phuz, you are the other kind of patriot, the kind that finds values and truth within then measures the external world to see if it accords. That is why thinking men have invented the notion of justice and applied it to war. They well understood what kind of animal the human one can degenerate into when it's ego is attacked. Luckily for me, my clown act has collected a number of serious spectators like etech so everybody can see the difference.

Thanks Trezza. I decided not to waste any more intelligence on people like them because it's painfully obvious they have a self-centered, one-sided, hypocritical view of anything and everything around them. It truly does border on mental illness I think.

That analogy isn't in context at all. It is the individuals choice to join the army.
It is not my right to deal judgement; who is good, who is bad. The world is not black and white.

Your argument is flawed based on the fact the bad wars you described were unnecessary to begin with, therefore, however unfortunate those deaths were (soldiers giving up their lives to fullfill their obligations), they were meaningless, therefore they die in vain. There is no reason to thank anyone for that!

Phuz, you do realize there can be a difference between supporting the troops and supporting the war, right!? Eh, guess I shouldn't have given you the benefit of the doubt... you just answered it before I posted.

anyway

drudge now has the story linked to a british paper/site

linky

"They were a motley bunch and you could barely describe them as soldiers - they were poorly equipped and didn't even have proper boots. Their physical condition was dreadful and they had obviously not had a square meal for ages. No one has ever known a group of so-called soldiers surrender before a shot has been fired in anger."

Last night the Ministry of Defence officially denied the incident had taken place, but the story was corroborated by an intelligence source.

You're all flawed, because when people enter into any type of public service or job, they never intend to die for what they do. By your statement, a police officer that dies trying to save a homeless drug addict from certain death did so in vain? I think not. I did not join the Army with the intent of dying. Neither does anyone else for that matter. We do our job because it is the job we chose. You have completely undermined the sacrifices of every soldier everywhere by your statement. You CANNOT place your own level of importance on a conflict and judge the soldier on your opinion. I would venture to say that a pretty good percentage of our armed forces do not completely agree with this looming conflict, however, you are completely out of line saying they are going do die in vain as a result. They died doing what their job requested of them. I guess the fishermen that die fishing the oceans and putting fish on your plate die in vain because YOU don't like fish, right? I suppose firemen die in vain because YOU have never been trapped in an inferno. I guess policemen die in vain because YOU don't need their help in a life saving situation. I can go on and on with examples proving your short sighted statement, but alas, I won't. I think I've driven the point home.

BTW Mansnake, don't extend your sympathy to me or my brother, we don't care for it. I extend my own sympathy to you because you can't see past one man to the larger issue at hand.

Grab a Moonbeam mirror and a Phuz hat, there's still time to join the kool-aid brigade.
