My point is you most definitely implied (when asked regarding Iraq: "who attacked first") that terrorists from Iraq attacked us first.

Nope. Digging your own hole, I see.

Upon being called on it

I wasn't. I didn't imply it-- what I stated VERY CLEARLY was that I thought we deserved more of an apology for support of terrorism than the Iraqi locals do for the shooting of one Koran. And I wasn't called on it-- Sierrita misread my post, and now has run away in embarrassment.

That's not weaseling, but the simple truth. Your argumentation skills are the suck.

Lost in space, this one.

smell ya later, punchy.

If this ends up costing even one soldier his life due to retaliation, this idiot should be dishonorably discharged.

My take on this:
As long as he was the proper owner of that Quran, then he did not do anything wrong other than use an unofficial target for target practice.
No apology necessary.
No real problem.
People should be free to express themselves (even soldiers.)

If some people retaliate, this soldier should not be held accountable for their actions. The people who "retaliate" need to be accountable for their actions.


Now, if that Quran belonged to somebody else, and he stole it from them, then he owe's them a new copy of the book, and he should be punished for stealing.

Al-Qaeda was non-existent before our invasion, and a small-time player right now. A majority of the violence is insurgent/sectarian, funded more by political parties than terrorist organizations.

I noticed this article on a printer at work, and thought even the conspiracy theorists here might find it funny just for the use of language.
