It seems minor conflict in Iraq is more deadly than major conflict.

So more of our brave men and women have died since Bush declared major conflict over.

And things will get much worse. How many more must die?

A pox on the cretins behind this war for money.

More reasons we need to get back to “Shock and Awe”.

The war lasted for less than a month, beginning with the initial air strikes on March 20th and ending with the official declaration of the end of major combat on April 15th. (Cite. A total of 26 days.

The US led occupation has been in Iraq since that time, more than four months. What this tells us is that the rate of soldiers being killed in Iraq has in fact decreased, by more than 75%.

At least people who like money know how to count.

I can count. 140 is more than 138.

Do you agree?

Reeder, seriously now, what’s the point of all this blather?

I can’t wait for Bush to get out of office of only so you and December will shut the fuck up.

Just venting. I read all of the shit Bush and his money grubbing buddies do to wreck our country and dishonor our troops.

I get so fricking mad I have to post.

I just keep in mind…that when the tyrant falls…his men fall too. And those facilitate his ways fall with him.

Hate to disappoint you World Eater, but I have the strong feeling that it doesn’t matter who gets into office, both of these colon gophers will find something to bitch about.

What was that link someone posted in a thread which said the Allies fought Nazi-loyalists in Germany for two fucking years after WW II ended? The fact that nutjobs feel the urge to take pot shots at our men and women in uniform after a war should come as no surprise.

If you truly believe it is only “nutjobs” taking “potshots” at our troops…you are sorely mistaken.

Oh, I see, it’s Bush’s oil buddies, who’ve raised an entire army of ex-Soviet soldiers to kill out troops in order to fullfill some Nineteen Eighty Four-style conspiracy. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. :rolleyes:

And here I thought it was a bunch of bastards who hated Americans for one reason or another and were under the misguided belief that the instant US forces leave everything in Iraq will be perfect.

Show me where I have ever said we should leave Iraq.

You are denser than a black hole.

Welcome to the Straight Dope Second Grade Debate and Hair-pulling Club…

Whew, deja vu all over again, in a couple of ways.

Reeder:

Since you seem to have run away from your last exercise in ineptitude, I’ll ask you here:

Do you have anything to contribute other than bitching and moaning? Do you have anything positive to offer, or are you as empty and shallow as your posts would lead me to believe?

So you think they are “bastards” because they are fighting back the American invaders? How wonderfully simplistic of you.

One more time friedo and he might get that there’s something amiss in his life.
