[ QUOTE ]

If you confront a known murderer, who tells you he is armed, and after 17 times asking him to drop his weapon -- he refuses -- do you:

1) Ask him again;
2) Speak louder; or
3) Shoot.

Only a fool equates all of these options, and only a bigger fool believes that anyone who selects number 3 is guilty of a crime upon finding that the gun wasn't loaded.

[/ QUOTE ]

So now you agree with me that not all options are created equal? Lovely. So your entire point is pretty much, as they say, no longer operative.

Thanks for posting! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The funny thing about this Randy fellow is that while he criticizes the Democrats, he openly admits to not having paid attention to the relevant times he's criticizing.

Quit being an ignorant prick, read a book and become literate before you say liberals want American soldiers dead. I was protesting the war before it began on the very grounds that people are criticizing it now. Every soldier or civilian that dies, everytime a US company overcharges the military, every new Al Qaeda recruit, and every single extra day, week, month, year we spend there is a gigantic fxcking "I told you so" to people like you that "weren't paying attention." That doesn't mean I'm happy about it.

YOU are unamerican, [censored].

Of course not all options are created equal -- that's why it's so disingenuous when some politicians decide to opportunistically and selectively choose all three.

Containing Saddam did cost billions and would have continued to cost billions. In that process American lives would have continued to be put in Jeopardy just as they have for the 12 years prior to Iraqi freedom.

How were we in imminent danger? This point I don't understand.

All your other points are easier to dismiss. First, you have no argument that we invaded Iraq to stop genocide because that happened more than 15 years ago, and we have not seen genocide from Saddam since. Secondly, you have no argument that we invaded Iraq to take out Al Queda in Iraq because they were not there when we invaded and they had no working relationship with Iraq. Many other countries are much more known to support terrorism and many others have much more recently suffered from genocide.

You didn't mention if you ARE or ARE NOT happy about it.

Why isn't the number of bad guys dead important news?

Does it help or hurt the war effort ot report the number of Americans dead?

Does it help or hurt the war effort to not report the number of bad guys dead?

Do you have any ideas on how to make this country better?

I didn't realize how slowly this board moves, I might check back here some time.

You have just crashed through the comedic level of MMMMMM and are now heading for the level of Jaxmike.

You understand, I hope, that this is a downward course.
