"Reporting" doesn't mean wringing your hands and celebrating every American casualty because you believe that brings America closer to defeat.
Where do you get that nonsense from? Is it just standard right wing "let's hate the Democrats" crap? Because it's disgusting.

And you're not "fighting a war". You're sitting on your @ss like 99% of America. If you're so gung-ho to fight go to an Army recruiting office and sign your butt up.
Originally posted by wibTwo things prevent me from serving: I'm not motivated because of advanced age; and, the military probably wouldn't take an old, out of shape guy like me anyway. The difference between you and me, however, is that I'm not clamoring for defeat.

I never sent anyone off to fight, however, while they're there, I won't undermine their morale.
I guess your troops' morale is more important than their lives.
Originally posted by mrstabbyI think your sides' argument is disingenuous: For you, it's not about saving soldiers lives, it's about playing politics to make the president look bad. Moreover, if we did withdraw, don't you think there'd be a repeat of the holocaust that occurred in Viet Nam and Cambodia following our withdrawal there (which, by the way, your side precipitated)? Lastly, radical war resisters don't care about America, they cleave to some crazed ideology that somehow, they're citizens of the world. Furthermore, they look down their nose at middle-class values, nationalism and patriotism. Just as the war resisters were wrong in Viet Nam, they're wrong about Iraq.

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterIt's about saving soldier and civilian lives. It's hard not to make someone who'se c*cked up so royally not look bad. Instead of an assassination you go for a full on war. It's like removing an ant's nest with a grenade, sticking your hand in the hole and wondering why the ones that are left are in a frenzy.

Whether or not you withdraw the country is going to be in turmoil. There's little chance of America getting widespread support after turning Saddam's palace into a mini America.

You're just going to take another dump tomorrow, why wipe today?
Pull your drawers up and walk away.
That smell must be Bush 'cause you sure don't stink ..
.. and all the while we thought that was a birthmark running down the back of your leg.
Originally posted by jammerThing is I'd rather not wipe my arse at all than do it with razor wire. Maybe America should have checked for toilet paper before doing a massive explosive diarrhea all over Iraq.

The moral here is don't piss off a guy with a bottle of laxatives.
