Jeez Smitty,
Can't you make one rediculous thread at a time and deal with it before you make a new one?
The Doc
And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

DS I think this is very arguable. Saddam was bad, but what has come in his place right now, doesn't look very much better. Back then, there was a government (a bad one of course, but there was one), there was infrastructure. Now, it appears to be one hell of a chaos there. And certainly with terrorist attacks, which weren't happening on such a large scale with Saddam still in power. It's chosing between the lesser of two evils, IMO.

I think "appears to be" is the key phrase. I believe about half of what I see and none of what I hear (to quote Marvin Gaye). If people wanna believe every morsel the media pitches to 'em (right wing OR left), so be it. I also heard today that the homicide bombers, car bombers, etc. are dwindling over there...floundering, in fact. A commentary on the presence of determined troops? Perhaps. But like I said, folks will buy what they want to buy. Yeah, I'll be the first to shout Halleleujah when our troops come home, but I'm a realist. For the number of troops deployed versus the casualty rate, well, I would refer you to the casualties of just about any other war. I say dig in and finish the job first, THEN come home. And yes, I'd gladly serve if they'd have me.

Mig - Oh, no, he still made her do all the work.
Tony Love - I didn't mean to take that out of context. I really agreed with what you said alot. But, Cardi took it out of context, all in good fun, I suppose.

Look, Smitty. I've been reading your ridiculus posts for months and sometimes I wonder if you can comprehend what the fuck it is that you are trying to say.
Democrats are entitled their opinion and on this point they make a very good point. Are we really safer with an angry insurgency in Iraq killing our boys everyday? Do we even have inteligence saying that Iraq was bent on attacking us? We threw away the handbook of American Foreign Policy under the Bush Admnistration and we're going around like a bunch of fucking cowboys.

I'm glad we can be civil and I know that for the most part you are on the other side of the fence but what has really angered me is Smitty's dismissal of my opininon along with many others.

Mike, I don't have a problem with people voicing their concerns or opinions about the war, politics, or anything for that matter. What I find childish and ridiculous is when we start reading things in posts like "trigger Happy GI Joes, Jesus Freaks, Bush sucks, Clinton blows, etc." Or when someone is lost for an answer and they turn to name calling and making attacks. Those kinds of remarks and attacks add absolutely nothing to a discussion or a debate. Of course we all lose our tempers from time to time, getting caught up in the moment. But overall I think that most of the members here do show a certain respect for opposite views. Don Cardi
