mnealtx 0 #26 September 11, 2007 QuoteQuoteWhy aren't you in Afghanistan then...you must be a chickenhawk. I am not a hawk to begin with, unlike your Kosovo colleague that you're sticking up for. So to say I'm a chickenhawk is just silly. Ah, ok... so you have no basis AT ALL for calling ANYONE a chickenhawk...got it. As for being silly, I don't think so. You're wanting someone ELSE to go do something YOU won't do - isn't that how you were defining a chickenhawk, up-thread?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

I'm not the one spouting out fantasies of bloodshed in every other post. If he's talking tough, he might want to walk the talk get off his keyboard and pick up the gun. QuoteAs for being silly, I don't think so. You're wanting someone ELSE to go do something YOU won't do - isn't that how you were defining a chickenhawk, up-thread? Is your friend unable to stick up for himself? Are you his spokesperson? Way to divert -- don't put it on me, I'm not the one talking bombs and guns and heads of muslims in every other post. I'm calling bullshit when I see it. As for me? I don't want these wars fought. They're not designed to be won -- they're designed to be indefinite. Mr. Harju wants people to fight, he wants muslims dead. Why the f.ck isn't HE over there? If you agree with him, why aren't YOU over there? I'm asking a question, not calling anyone names like you are. He should stop the tough talk and turn it into action rather than continually conjuring up fantasies of boming and killing people. If he thinks war is such a wonderful thing, it might do him well to get in the sh.t and fight. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adriandavies 0 #29 September 11, 2007 Last time I checked the going rate to convert was £50 and half an hour with a friendly Mullah. No messy operations required, no in depth tests on Islamic knowledge needed and absolutely no realistic expectation of the convert actually doing anything Islamic. I've done it and have got the certificate somewhere around to prove it. Does that make me a Muslim in anything other than name only? Not a chance. Do I feel like a hypercrite for doing it. Yes definitely. I did however do it for a very good reason as it allows me to travel to my wife's home country easily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow all this time I thought he was in Iraq I figured the day to day grind of Iraq has made him so hateful, I had no clue he is not even close. Well that explains a lot then I guess. It is so easy to want blood and act tough when you sipping coffee and typing on DZ.com. You know I always said I wish they would send all the war supporters to and fight, let them get a taste of what war is like. I might have not fought in war but at least I have lived threw one maybe that’s why I hate war so much, specially one that is so obviously unjustified. John: This is the first time I opened this thread thanks for the poll options they cracked me up. Ever consider a carrier for Fox news. They could use a man like you sir unless you are already working for them off course. I do feel left out I can’t convert to Islam I already am Muslim.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butters 0 #32 September 11, 2007 It is a volunteer military ... if you don't want to fight (for whatever reason) then don't volunteer. If you volunteer and believe you won't have to fight ... study more history. I'm not saying we always fight for the right reason ... I'm just saying that we always fight. PS: Do you believe we would remain in Iraq if we had to have the draft? I don't."That looks dangerous." Leopold Stotch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #33 September 11, 2007 It may be an all volunteer military but I DO expect our leaders to use them for what they are designed for.... and to use them sparingly. We had a perfectly good place to have a nice little war and to bring democracy to a country sadly in need of it. Afghanistan...remember that one... the place where Bin Laden trained his murderous thugs???? But Alas... all they have in the way of resources.... are opium poppies..... and although I am sure the same people who profited in the Golden Triangle....and Iran Contra.....to fund clandestine operations are doing quite nicely in Afghanistan now...its just not the business the Bush and Cheney Families and the Neo-Cons who supported them can understand. Iraq has Oil..... and greed and incompetence took over instead of doing what was right and getting the people who actually attacked us on 9/11. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afghanistan...remember that one... the place where Bin Laden trained his murderous thugs???? So you're saying that by dumping money, time and resources into Afghanastan, i.e. a McyD on every mountaintop, they would suddenly find no more reason to plant poppies? It's ok to destroy one countrys' infrastructure, as sorry as it is, and rebuild it in our vision, but not another? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So do I ... but that hasn't always, isn't, and won't always be the case. When the checks and balances of the government fail the people, the people must become the checks and balances. Stop volunteering and the war will stop. QuoteWe had a perfectly good place to have a nice little war and to bring democracy to a country sadly in need of it.

You think that is all that matters? There are plenty of other places with oil ... why don't we attack them? Why, because there is more to the story. Edit: We should never have had to invade Iraq.

warpedskydiver 0 #44 September 11, 2007 QuoteHad The Master of Moron not waltzed into Iraq, wasting precious time, troops and resources they may had caught the prick. But, Bush has a problem with staying the course and went for an easy target only to create a quagmire and a recruiting tool for Al Qaida. Bush fucked up big time and Binny Laden is laughing his ass off. Good going Bush! You go lead our country then. You bitch so much it is sick, but never venture a solution, try it for once.
