[QUOTE=RTFirefly]  
Your OP. You’re the one who’s supposed to have had some point to make by starting a thread.

AFAICT, the closest thing to a point you’ve got is, “It’s one thing for the Sunni insurgents to kill other Iraqis in other situations, but for them to take advantage of the U.S.’ having closed the road where the helicopter came down to do more of the same, that’s just plain _wrong_.”

Which makes no sense whatsoever. Which is why people are scratching their heads and asking for clarification. And your response is to tell people to shove it up their ass.

Other posters’ MMV, but that posting style doesn’t exactly encourage me to keep reading your posts.

It is as a fucking civil war now.

What’s to answer? You bumped a year-plus old thread to contribute nothing that hasn’t already been addressed, now you’re taunting us to comment on nothing in particular other than a general lament on the nature of war?

Start a new thread. And this time, make a case for something.

Dude, ask a mod to close this and then go sleep it off. Posting while impaired is never a good idea.

We would love to answer you, but nobody seems to be able to figure out what you’re trying to say. Is English your first language?

I may not know whose brainz the zombie ate, but I recognize that undead threads are a PITA.

Closed.
