Take it to the other thread please!


notice my first RESPONSE to Morphs attempt at a flame war ended with me uggesting him to ask someone else, not me

my second reponse to Morph asked him to take the discussion to the other thread, why are you editing my request to take it where it belongs only to post the same thing? And why are you telling me and not him? Seems to me he came in here and brough up something off topic.

On O'Reilly tonight, he said that the CIA estimates that we have killed 25,000 Iraqi soldiers. And that's a CONSERVATVE estimate. We have lost 20 soldiers. So, 25,000 vs 20, a ratio of 1250 to 1. Is that what the news media is calling "Fierce resistance?"

LOL WTG USA!

Appears it may have been. From here:

[All times GMT and approximate]

Tuesday, 25 March

2100: Iraqi state television broadcasts halt for 15 minutes, before returning on air with weaker signal, indicating back-up systems are being used, BBC correspondent in Baghdad says.

wtf, republican guards dressing and mingling with civilians then attacking or soldiers from witihin the crowd.
My solution Tear gas the whole fvcking lot, tie up up and interview with interpreter and find out who is who.
Apologize to the real civilians give em some MRE and water and send them on their merry way. No hard feelings



So what you're saying is... the US should use chemical weapons?

I think you using the term chemical weapons as meaning the same thing as WMD. Is tear gas considered WMD? I don't think so unless the police is guilty of using WMD.... I think tear gas would be valid and even more humain as it is non-lethal.
Unfortunately, tear gas is considered a chemical weapon. They tried to use it in Bosnia (I thnk) and got shot down.

well, yea.. it's chemical but does that mean that people don't like it when it is used like WMD? Seems strange that that would be the case. Especially since it is non-lethal without permanent effects (as far as I know) and police use it to control crowds all the time.

When you have a problem of seeing and breathing in a WAR while enemies are near you, you are good as DEAD. Tear gas does have some Permanent affect on some people. Police using tear gas to control a crowd is alot different than a Soldier using Tear gas to kill it's enemies.

Reportedly estimates for Iraqi KIA is over 25,000. That would make our kill ratio 1:2275. 1 american per 2275 Iraqi military. Yes we have roughly 29 deaths, but only 11 were killed in action. Heh someone beat me to it, except he counted total deaths.

Theres only been eight confirmed civilian deaths at allied hands. 3 were verified by the Red Cross, the other was that bus that we accidently hit by an errant missle. Im sure there are more than that but Im suspecting most are done by the Iraqis.
