sucker. it actually turns on most of the voting elctorate - that's why 6 years of Bush and GOP mismanagement were soundly rejected last November.

Utter, slimey bullshit. This kind of ludicrous fiction is for children who simply can't hold their own in a rational discussion. It's sickening to realize that anyone could be a big enough fucking fool to take it seriously. No one is celebrating the death of troops. Yes, for those of us who were against the war for moral, strategic or purely rational reasons from the very beginning, the rising death toll is an indicator and underlines the point, but it is certainly no celebration. At least we are aware of this toll and the implications, while apparently some of you are able to dismiss this toll utterly as merely a 'meaningless politically-loaded statistic,' and pretend that comparing it to bigger numbers and greater sacrifices renders it virtually insignificant.

When you motherfuckers can stop constructing a version of 'the left' that suits your intellectual laziness and deal with reality, there might be a reason to even discuss the war with you, but until then you're just making pointless noises that could just as easily issue from your assholes. |

What is the “left” or whatever’s solution to the war? From what I see Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi for example have not shown any interest in finding a way to win in Iraq, they are using hardball politics to try to set an absolute date for pulling out of Iraq. I do not believe surrender and retreat can be called a "solution". Now I do think many on the left and some on the right think it is a solution because they are losing patience and think mistakes are being made. Well I agree, mistakes have been made like mistakes were made in WWII for example. But You push on, you do not surrender. The press will only report death counts - Can you answer any of these questions? Does the Press care? I think these are important questions and should be reported. - How many battles are won day to day? - How many insurgents are captured day to day? - How many of the enemy are killed? - How many of the enemy end up deserter? - What have our troops done to save iraqi residents from being victims of war? - How many children have Americans saved in Iraq? - How much information and what kind of information are we receiving daily from the Iraq citizens? - What schools are opening? - Who got power today - are they happy? - What businesses opened today? - What medical services did our war doctors perform to save Iraqi citizens today?

Mazer, Albed and Sinner:
The frickin 3 stooges. I'll let you decide who is who, second thought, let albed decide, since he is the ass sucker authority. Here is a message to you 3 spineless, blindly following conservative hacks: WE CANNOT EVER 'WIN' , THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE WAY TO 'WIN'. So get your head's out of Bushes ass, wipe the shit off, and then open your eyes and rejoin the real world! |

Oh, you two go together like peanut butter and jelly.
I'm not after pisser in order to get under his skin. He has demonstrated a little free thinking lately, not much, but enough to engage me. I don't expect him to respond to my constructionist method any better than you have, albed, but if the worst name he calls me is 'stooge' then I must be doing something right. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted because now that Ramona has stooped to posting here I've lost interest in pisser. Quote:
Though pisser's questions about what we've accomplished are valid, the lack of reporting by the media makes it impossible to answer those questions adequately. When they report all of the costs and none of the benefits it simply becomes impossible to perform a proper cost/benefit analysis. I like Sinner's list of questions better; they're more pertinent to our situation and, unlike pisser's questions, each has a verifiable answer. Those answers are necessary to establish context, too. Without knowing what we've gained it is simply impossible to judge the value of what we've lost. I'll tell you right now, I myself am not cognizant of the specific benefits of our war in Iraq, but there are people in this world, most of them journalists, who do know what's going on. I can only speculate as to why their knowledge has not been shared with the rest of us. I do know, however, that a dictator has been stripped of his power, his former subjects are now voting citizens, a constitution has been established in a once despotic nation, a parliament has taken power, and the free people of Iraq are now making the security of their country their responsibility, reliving us of that burden in the process. If that's not progress then I don't know what is. |

Nice how we just pick and choose. If that is our 'mission', why haven't we gone after north korea for one? I'll tell you why, because it wouldn't be as easy as Iraq. Mr. 'War President' just wanted to get his nose into the middle east without studying the previous history of that country or of the middle east in general. If he had, he would have known that democracy could never be 'forced' upon those people. Also, we ( the american people) don't directly control policy as to war and such, be we control public opinion, and boneheaded politicians are sensitive to that. Basically, the republican party is destroying any chance it has in 2008. Fine by me, and I am just an independent. I do not like the direction that this country has gone in after 9/11. I just laugh at how outraged our administration is about the Iranians supplying and help the insurgents to kill Iraqis and Americans. What did george and co. think would happen, they would just roll over and kiss our asses? And that is why...IT IS HIS FAULT! |

why there is nothing in Iraq worth dying for, part 27:
Congress oks the Iraq withdrawal bill and sends it on to the Prez for his veto. meanwhile, the Iraqi government sees fit to criticize Congress for it's decision to carry out the will of the American people: Quote:

If we had any sense we'd make our lawmakers take a 6 month "vacation" every year. Democracies don't need full time politicians, nor should they have them.

occupied countries don't need them either - no worries for iraqi politicians, as long as there is unlimited American blood to spill and American money to burn.

a new low for the Prez
support for the Prez dwindles down to a few dead-enders and starry-eyed true believers:
