waltappel 1 #1 September 1, 2005 4 (maybe 5) Muslims given their tickets to paradise courtesy of SAW. 1 American soldier hit in chest by rpg round. 1 American reporter (same one that was kidnapped last week) beheaded. A little lamer than usual this week. Hospitalized soldiers went home. Alcoholic, cheating, lying bitch-ass wife up to her usual BS. Got drunk, totaled the car and fled the scene (leaving her son), lied to husband about the wreck claiming it happened when she was returning from a support group meeting and the wreck was not her fault, blamed her miscarriage on the wreck instead of her drinking. Apparently Smoke, who did a great job of sending Muslim Mom and her dumbass bottle-throwing son to Allah last week has a price on his head. Also, his mother, who had a stroke stateside, is in the hospital. Army offered him a 5 day furlough to visit her, but he turned it down. The guys went to rescue the kidnapped reporter and got to him just as his head was being chopped off. Muslim kidnappers got their just reward. Another slow week for Allah on the series. In real life, of course, the bridge tragedy is keeping him busier than usual. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In real life, of course, the bridge tragedy is keeping him busier than usual. I am glad, though, that there are folks making sure that I keep my facts straight!!! It just blows me away that so many people died because of a rumor of a bomber. There has got to be more to it than that. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are literally scared to death. Terrified. That's something Saddam never managed - and it does sound odd that this is, after all - a war against terror. tIt's the year of the Pig.

Ragnarok 0 #15 September 3, 2005 I talked to alot of Iraqi's while I was 'over there'. Many do not like US presence - I cannot blame them. I did not make the decision to go to war, the government did. I am in the Army, so I am a government employee. It is sad, these people just need their country back, together and with a functioning government. I do not know why we are over there, I asked - but all I got was smoke blown up my ass. A Warrior prays for peace, but trains for war. When he returns from war, he still prays for peace. It hurts me very deeply that people go spouting off at the mount when they really have no idea what the hell they are talking about. Thing is, it takes a hell of alot less 'intestinal fortitude' to run the mouth than it does to have to walk in someone elses shoes. Next time anyone wants to spout off at the mouth, I invite them inside my head and a mile in MY shoes. We will see how much your mouth runs after that. Freedom is taken for granted by those who have never had to stand up for it. Freedom is that much sweeter for those who have defended it._________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot90 0 #16 September 3, 2005 Quote talked to alot of Iraqi's while I was 'over there'. Many do not like US presence Yes i can see why the Iraqis' that were part of SH little group would want us out. Quote I do not know why we are over there, Well a big reason was because we had no ground intel do to the clintons. WE were only permitted to talk to "nice" people. SH tried to bluff about wms to keep iran and others off his case. Even SH's power team thought they did along with the UN. Other wise why would they pass what 29 resolutions. He had shown no fear in using WMD just ask the northern iraqis QuoteA Warrior prays for peace, but trains for war. When he returns from war, he still prays for peace. It hurts me very deeply that people go spouting off at the mount when they really have no idea what the hell they are talking about and sometimes even some warriors don't know what they are talking about... I am sorry you are hurt but that's how you choose to hear it. I was a "warrior" as you say before you were born son. and happen to know a just a little about the area. If I had the time i would tell you but i have a feeling you wouldn't be listening anyway. It would be far worse if we just pulled the hell out because a few political hacks wanted a few lines in the paper. Quote Freedom is taken for granted by those who have never had to stand up for it. Freedom is that much sweeter for those who have defended it. and for that very reason I look forward to a free Iraq, for the life of me I can no understand why you just don't get it.

Well, unless you have been in Iraq and seen things first hand, you really don't know what YOU are talking about. No one need to kiss someone's ass and sing songs of praise - but a little less bitching about what OUR troops are trying to do over there and maybe see that in spite of it all are trying to make a difference. I would listen to you, pal - I think you need to re-read my post. When I hear someone moan about all the problems our troops are creating and making Iraq a worse place in stead of a better place - it bothers me. Alot of the hostility that comes from people who have no idea what it is like is unfounded and biased by what they hear on TV. What is on TV does not even come close to what is going on in Iraq. Yea, I would like to see Iraq get it together so our troops could come home - the sooner the better._________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
