Yeah, and he'll never be able to get a job with the US Post Office if he get's a dishonorable, which kind of amounts to the same thing.
I know enough not to join the army since I don't want to die in an illegitimate war, which is more than I can say about your 3000 soldiers. But keep believing that your soldiers are innocent if it makes you feel better.
So are you adding Canadians to the list of countries that are subversive? Are you going to make fun of them like we do the French. Destroy statesman like dialogue with them like we have with Russia and Germany, or expand the axis of evil list? Perhaps just continue to use them like we do countries like China, Mexico and Japan, etc.?
I don't like spooner's comments either, but I damn sure don't blame it on his being Canadian. My point is that whatever your feelings about the war, 3,000 officially dead is a grim statistic. Before we invaded Iraq I was against it as we lacked the support of the UN. Once we had gone in though, I felt it necessary to finish the job, keeping the troops deployed until things were stabilized. Now it has become clear that our presence stabilizes nothing. Leave the Iraqis to sort out this mess, whatever it takes.
I agree our presence only does one thing... it protects American contractors. Is that a reason to continue sacrificing American lifes for a lost cause?
3,000 a little more than the number of americans killed on 9/11...but bush wouldn't kill 3,000 of his own citizens would he? Investigate 9/11...it's the only way to get out of this mess.
for the next two years the only thing the american public have to look forward to is more landfill in arlington cemetry.
I'm not saying they are innocent, but I don't think we should CELEBRATE or be HAPPY that they are dead.
He wasn't a friend, just a guy I knew from my hometown...but it doesn't change the fact that another person is DEAD for NOTHING.
I don't support this war either but the unappreciation shown by several of our more spoiled, bratty members is sickening. You sit on your computers and whine and bitch about Bush and his war and call these soldiers baby-killers. Does this mean that if some country like China decides to attack us that you will either fight to protect atleast your own home or will you react to character and run like pussies to the nearest bomb shelter with your laptap and continue bitching? Either way, someone else is gonna have to put their ass on the line to help protect yours and that deserves a bit more respect.
The people fighting in Iraq do not represent America's best interests, or the American people's. They represent the people making money off this bullshit war. They represent Halliburton. They represent the globalists and their world government agenda. They represent the destruction of American sovereignty. If you buy into the lie you've been given, that the soldiers are "fighting for our freedom," you're an idiot. Period. Our freedom is being DESTROYED by the very scumbags our soldiers are serving, who are getting rich off of all the death and destruction. I am sorry, but how can I support people who don't think, who murder on orders given, who are only serving a system that seeks their own demise and everyone else's? I know you were speaking theoretically when you mentioned China. However, I must say that China poses no threat to the US, and if it did, it's because traitors in the US government, like Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, gave them everything they have, including advanced missile technology. So why don't you chew on that for a bit. Try becoming informed, then talk shit. Have a nice day!
So that it would be the latter option. I hope you have your shelter reserved and your wireless chip installed because no one else would want to let you in theirs and subject themselves to endless circle-jerking about TEH EVOL ILLUMINATIS. Why don't you chew on that a bit. Your Piety is laugheable at best.
well it be much more preferable if more americans went onto the internet and whined and complained instead of bombing other peoples countries. as for china the americans seem to be importing so much garbage from china making their own people unemployed and destroying their own manufacturing process (something crucial to win wars as evidenced by their own american civil war") that the war is pretty well much won. anyhow - instead of whining to us why don't you go and join up for iraq i'm sure they'd love to have you, meanwhile we'll just be pussies and complain about about the war and its savagery, ok then, off you go.
ooookkay...and the award for silliest, most missed-the-point reply goes to ^. First off, the average American is not bombing anyone. Therefore going on their internetz and whining rather than bombing someone is not an option. We aren't bombing anyone to begin with. Good try though. It's sad when someone can't differentiate a civilian with government and military personel. Are you American? I cant imagine that you are as you seem to think all Americans are gun-toting, shrieking, patriots with their own personal nuke button. As for China, the average American has enough sense to know that an invasion by China or ground war with China would be suicide. We know we'd lose. Thank you for pointing out the obvious though there, Captain. This is why you never hear the average American talking about declaring war with China or even trying to instigate a war with China. Given your response though and telling me,quite predictably, to go to Iraq, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if you were put in position where you could either fight to defend yourself or run.....you'd run. Nice. My kids and I feel so much safer.
And now Bush will send 21,500 more troops to Iraq. Escalating didn't work in Vietnam and it won't work in Iraq. It just means that it will take less time to reach 4,000 dead.
He stated that failure would lead to instability and increased hostilities and in the next breath he said that is exactly what his new offensive would also accomplish. Who is benefiting here....Carlyle, Bechtel, Haliburton and all the friends of the Bush administration.
Plus, he continues to warn us of the dread enemies Iran and Syria...funny these countries have absorbed the majority of Iraq refugees since this conflict began. They more than anyone have an interest in the stability of the region. If we as a nation don't stand up and say no to this, we are no better than what we accused Saddam of. And he rubs our nose in the fact that he is readying his navy to take on Iran. If he does he will go down in history as worse that any other totalitarian threat the world has ever experienced. But he and his family are so rich I guess they and their friends can play fast and lose with responsibility. I loved his comment on our friends in the middle east wishing for us to secure their lives: So we are to be pawns to Israeli radicals rather than consider the middle east as an area of diverse nations, religions and governments. We seem to only be willing to accept Israeli sanctioned results. Sorry I am not buying it.
