Re: Iraq war is the biggest BS ever
So, no WMD
None found. Be specific. --What do you mean? I mean WMD in Iraq was the justification for the war. Where have you been for the past 3 years? Have you been reading newspapers? Quote: Over a $100 or maybe $200 billion blown already, It doesn't seem like you know what you're talking about. --I stopped following at $200 billion. Actually, I just checked and it's 400 billion. http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0221/p01s03-usfp.html about 2200 soldiers killed Marines aren't soldiers, but you've already indicated you really don't have much of a clue. --Does that really make a difference? How bout I just say members of the military. many more maimed and missing limbs If you really care, then prove it or else stop disgracing fallen troops by politicizing their suffering ---over 16,500 wounded--http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/12/national/12WOUNDED.html?ex=1297400400&en=476fb31d9ac9e0 1e&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss who knows how many thousands of Iraqis killed Again, you have no clue. --estimates up to 100,000 but for obvious reasons, it's hard to get an accurate count http://journals.aol.com/bmiller224/O...g/entries/2111 Bin Laden still free Explain in detail why he is still free, proving you have a clue regarding military search and recon operations (I'll expect you to demonstrate your military expertise and experience, specifically special forces operations that are being employed to hunt down OBL) otherwise STFU --I don't know why a 6 '4'-6 '5" man in Afghanistan who needs kidney dialysis can hide for 3 years. Maybe there's not enough troops hunting him down. Besides, there shouldn't be any excuses about recon operations. crappy infrastructure Huh? What do you even mean by this? --the average Iraqi doesn't get much electricity. Do I have cite this too? insurgents having the luxury of taking potshots Quite the opposite. Our Marine/Recon snipers in Fallujah have the luxury of taking the pot shots. It is more of a final moment for the insurgents. --Insurgents set off IEDs and sit back and blend back into the population. Time is on their side. The marines patrol and move in the open and unfortunately, are sitting ducks. every soldier in Iraq is one soldier not in Afghanistan hunting OBL We would not have 150,000 troops in Afghanistan. There's that "no clue what you're talking about" thing again. --But couldn't some more of those 150,000 be useful there? It's probably too late now. Biggest BS ever. People running their mouths without a clue is the biggest BS ever. --Seriously, Riddick, do you follow the news? btw, I'm not trying to convince you. I'm actually in awe of what a salesman Bush is. Besides people with a financial interest (defense contractors) supporting Bush, are the other Bush supporters just retarded? All of that red space below is "retarded". I suggest you move to Canada. --you missed my point. Even if every single person had voted for Bush, does that still make the Iraq war worthwhile?

[ QUOTE ]
So tell me, doesn't that put your right about the right age to join the Marines (not soldiers) and demonstrate your commitment to your ideals? [/ QUOTE ] There is no "right" age to join the Mah-rines. Any age is the right age. But thanks to Murray Rothbard I don't believe in war. Coming from a family of Marines I will probably end up doing my time. Worry about yourself.

I don't have to worry about me....I did my time, and it was combat time, sonny boy. So nice that you don't believe in war, but are willing to shout support of it to anyone who's within earshot. They have a number of names for people who take that position. Need I elaborate?

Re: Iraq war is the biggest BS ever
Why does that cartograph of yours blow up states entirely blue that were in fact very closely divided and in many cases only tipped to the blue side because of one or several large cities? Seems like a mischaracterization of at least several of the states as a whole.

Re: Iraq war is the biggest BS ever
Also rather than start a new thread, here's an interesting and very well-researched article by Tom Engelhardt titled "A Permanent Basis for Withdrawal?" on the permanent military bases we're building in Iraq.

You'd do well to actually find out about what you're criticizing before you do it. The map is just based on population of states and 2004 election results. There are similar maps that are broken down by county and by just how close the elections were.

Are you trying to speak some sort of code that the black vote shouldn't count? Dammit, there you go again! Hijack the post so we don't talk about the BS war!
