First causes, my friend. If we hadn’t invaded Iraq for what the Admin. knew and what we now know is no good reason, Americans wouldn’t be getting killed by those motherfuckers. Bush is the real villain here.
Yes, that is ridiculous; the two historical situations aren’t analogous at all. But it’s always been true that one man’s terrorist is another man’s “freedom fighter”. You may recall that Reagan insisted on using that term to refer to the Contras, who he said were “the moral equivalent of our Founding Fathers”.
Brutus, you still haven’t answered my question regarding the realm of thick-ribbed ice wherein you dwell.
Hmmm…yes I would argue that they’re not that type of people. Ok, obviously there are violent terrorist scum at work in Iraq. Many of whom are not in all probability, Iraqi. Rather, people who are there to take advantage of the excellent recruiting ground Bush has created. Beyond that, i think there are a lot of people who are reacting to seeing their family killed and/or their homes distroyed.
Now, you can sit several thousand miles away and say they should see the big picture and realize they are better off for the Americans being there. But they’re probably still focusing on their dead child. Funny how that works.
What bothers me is that this is obviously what was going to happen. But the administration went in acting like it wouldn’t.
You sir, are correct. I have not. But you have:
That’s me. A mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in something else and so forth. Alternatively, you are reading way too much into the location. You’re choice!
You’re? Damn. Once again the icy embrace of hell takes me into its cursed…oh, that’s just Michigan in January. Carry on.
You were that close, then ruined it. No the resistance in Iraq are the violent terror scum, there is no distinction. Case closed.
Yeah :rolleyes: Carry on, its obvious no amount of telling you people that the resistance in Iraq are a bunch of fucking arseholes who are mainly vestiges of the last regime, extremist Islam elements and ignorants who will constantly attack anything that is supporting the move of the country towards anything democratic and freedom loving.
Has it ever crossed your mind that the ‘grassroots’ support for the insurgents is coming from fear, rather than respect?
And who are you to enlighten “us people” about the composition of the resistance in Iraq? Been there recently, have you? Hung out with the resistors and terrorists, finding out what makes them all tick?
Iraq is a magnificent Petri dish for terrorism at the moment because thousands of Iraqis have died, and still are dying, at the hands of an invading force. Read betenoir’s post again and THINK about it before coming in here again to defend yourself with keyboard blazing.
I’ll tell you what, dick slime-how about we invade YOUR home, and kill YOUR family, and totally destroy everything you’ve ever had or worked for-and then we’ll see what you have to say?
Yes, I’d join up with the Americans and the Iraqi government and find those terrorist fuckers who comitted such an act.
I’m not sympathetic to them either. Don’t need to distinguish, because there isn’t any need too.
No. Iraqis die due to the blatant brutality of the insurgents, and the anti terrorist operations carried out by the Iraqi government and US/Coalition Allies, which is unfortunate, but doesn’t mean its not carried out in a just sense.
Wow, I think you just proved my point.
Sounds like Sherman in Georgia.
If you think my post or the one you first responded to was primarily about who had the better vietnam service record, then that’s where you’re going wrong.
Now answer my question.

Ann Coulter is ugly. All her dolling herself up does nothing to hide the fact that she’s ugly. It’s like Rowdy Roddy Piper said to the alien primping her hair in They Live : “Like putting perfume on a pig.” Only a pig has more sex appeal.
Behave, children!
Moose launcher ? ? ?
Eh ?
Yeah – when my dad asked me who Ann Coulter was I told him, “She’s a right-wing version of Michael Moore. Only worse.”
Now Dad pretty much loathes ol’ Mike, so he said, quite doubtfully, “Worse than Michael Moore?”
“Yep,” I said, “she makes Moore seem like an honest and moderate commentator.”
“No…” he replied. So I gave him a copy of Ann’s latest book to prove it. He read through the book, and gave it back to me with the comment, “You’re right. She is worse than Moore. What a nutty broad.”
Ann Coulter is crazier than a shithouse mouse, no doubt about it. And I say this as a person who lean towards Conservative.
