That is an odd conclusion to draw, especially since I occasionally condode ‘extrajudicial executions’, ‘energetic questioning’, etc

OK, back to tigers…
1. Tigers biting people is status quo, anything different is socialization and domestication, to the extent that is possible.
Hence, expect a tiger to kill you unless otherwise notified.
1. Tigers really aren’t as bad as they sound in #1. Well, yes they are.
2. It is possible to interact with tigers if you know what you are doing.
Drunk people, inherently, do not know what they are doing.
Ranger training is not tiger training, SIR!
Soldiers, fucktards. Tiger, status quo but dead.

My bad. I thought I had put a disclaimer, but I guess I erased it when I changed the content of my post.
Sorry **Coldfire** , **Brutus** , and everyone else.
P.S. FWIW, I probably would have shot the tiger too, had I been in drunken fucktard’s position. Then again, were I in DF’s position, I’d certainly expect to get smoten by the Higher Ups.

**Brutus** has become the new december in his stupidity and in his dishonesty in (mis)interpreting cites.
We already had a trainwreck with december over his contention that demonstrators were supporting Saddam Hussein and it is not worth redoing the stupid argument again with Brutus playing december.
Brutus, you are being dishonest and you know it.

So, now that it’s reached five pages, let me guess:
DtC and sailor have stepped in to point out that the soldier could only shoot the tiger because he was sent to Iraq by Dubya…
and
Shodan and Brutus have stepped in to point out the the soldier couldn’t have shot the tiger if he hadn’t been sent to Iraq if Saddam hadn’t been so evil.
How do I score?
-Joe, not psychic, and doesn’t need to be because certain people post the same crap over and over again

So, we have a **Bengal** Tiger killed by an **American** soldier in an **Iraqi** zoo?
Jeez! What are the odds?

**Merijeek** , I don’t feel like reading all five pages. Can you please refresh my memory by pointing at the post where I said “the soldier could only shoot the tiger because he was sent to Iraq by Dubya”.
