See there you go ignoring the rules of the English language again.

If you are gonna insult me, at least do it right.

The correct way would have been:

Seek a life quick! Your trolling HAS gone critical with it's lameness!

or if you wanted to make it sound immenent:

Seek a life quickly! Your trolling IS GOING critical with it's lameness!

Tense, it's your friend.

Ah, another master of literacy.

I'm guessing you were trying to call me a noob and a gramar troll in the same sentence. Unfortunately, you failed.

What you ened up saying is that, Steeplerot, a noob, has found me, a grammar troll.

Congratulations.

Although , being the liberal that you are , I understand your position , you need to look closely at the ramifications of not following through with this action and successfully empowering Iraq before you go pulling out the troops. You obviously live life based on your opinions and desires , not the facts as they are. I am not saying we should or shouldn't be in Iraq , but leaving is NOT AN OPTION. That would be the worst tragedy imaginable for all of the Middle East, especially the Iraqi people you so want to protect.

Yeah if we pulled out there might be terrorism, head-cuttings, unrest, discontent, and islamicists attempting to come to power.... oh wait!

OMG, you are so right, how could I not see this. Yes, all those things would turn off like a light switch. We pull out today, a stable and free Iraq tomorrow. How silly I was to think there'd be an actual strugle for power between the old regime and the currently elected government. Obviously there wouldn't be terrorism, unrest, discontent or islamicists trying to gain power.

hmm which sounds best for iraqis to YOU?
1. a struggle setting up their own actual iraqi government for once for the first time in 80 years with no western meddling?
2. a struggle against another illegitimate us puppet state obviously using them for oil?
3. a struggle against the imperialist invaders themselves who think they know what is best for another country even though their own is going down the crapper?
which shall it be...
well, we know what bush's plan is now if he can get one of his plans to actually work for once...

A. Oh the elections in Iraq where women were allowed to vote and people weren't afraid to vote for who they wanted?

B. So exactly how much oil has the US taken from Iraq so far? I remember something about NONE a while back, but I haven't found anything more recent. Perhaps you could provide some info.

C. So as long as we have problems, we should just stick to the US and not bother with anybody else. Welcome to pre-WW1 US foreign relations.

So like I asked before, what would you do in Iraq and how would you deal with the consequences that would come about if your decision was followed?

Probably because the shrub miscalculated and instead of nice flowing oil insurgents are stopping oil production. Huge accomplishment.

Umm... we didn't have any real problems with Iraq. Nice try though.

A. The elections were a sham and failure just likes bush's little puppet government..big surprise there :roll:
B. Of course we haven't bush is a failure once again, the Iraqis know damn well what we are there for and have made sure the oil is NOT flowing. BOOM!
C. No but there are ways to carry out actions but lying to the public for a obvious resource grab is not the way to do things for a country supposedly "the shining beacon of democracy" in plain sight of the world you may believe the US media but the rest of the world is not that obidiently blind.

You didn't answer my question.

So I'll ask again, what would you do in Iraq and how would you deal with the consequences that your decision would cause?

I think this is very on topic. If you are protesting, you should know what you are protesting about. Simply saying "Against the war" isn't good enough. If you can't explain why you are protesting, then why are you?

To what purpose do these protests serve? Seems public already voted last year and kept the man who started war there to finish it. It certainly was'nt his other policys, well maybe taxes a little...but Americans like winners and staying course is main thing. I don't think we should have gone but I'm also not naive enough to believe we will withdraw unless a MAJOR public backlash happens or we done. That backlash had it's chance in november and failed. Iraq, while not pretty, is getting a bit better so what makes these groups think they will have even more momentum now when as I said people like a winner?>

How about choice 4) instead.

4) Work with the US and create a stable and prosperous democracy.

Choice 4 works. What a coincidence that it just happens to be the choice the Iraqis are going with.

nov proved nothing but how much fear works to control uninformed voters.
JK sold his party out anyhow. he supported the war just like bush.
a good part of the public was not even represented by the so-called democratic party.
This is why millions still protest.

I am not interested in going on about everything I would do if I was president/god/won the lottery.

I didn't ask about being God, or winning the lottery. I asked what you would do about Iraq.

I'm going to venture a guess but I don't think you've thought about that at all. In the real world, where the rest of us live, we need to deal with consequences. Your main goal is "Protest Bush" and "Protest what Bush does." Without any thought as to what your suggestions would do. Leaving Iraq is NOT an option, if you can't see that us picking up and leaving would do WAY more harm than good, then I don't know what to tell you.

Being a "regular" poster does not mean anything if the vast majority of them are insults. Just because you have a bigger voice doesn't increase the quality of what you say. I will not waste my time searching for your posts if they are all of this caliber.
