I, my friend, will not get used to it, and will continue to do what I can to make sure we get the hell out of there. Get used to it. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

That is a HUGE pile of dog shit. Chilean sea bass is not endangered, and is perfectly legal and available in the USA. And WTF anyway?

I notice you didn't answer my questions: How exactly did they do that? By discussing the progress of the war and possible new courses of action? And what do you suggest out congress do, ignore the war? And oh, by the way, if my talking point about unarmored vehicles was blown out of the water years ago, why did Gates ask for more armored vehicles 2 hours ago??? Hmmmmm? http://www.yahoo.com/s/629336 Pentagon asks money for armored vehicles By LOLITA C. BALDOR, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 37 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert Gates plans to ask Congress Tuesday for permission to shift as much as $1.3 billion from other military programs to speed up the purchase of bomb-resistant vehicles for troops in Iraq. According to military officials, the Army would like to reallocate about $800 million, and the Marines want roughly $500 million, to buy the Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles that have been saving lives in roadside bomb attacks. Gates is expected to go to Capitol Hill with senior Army and Marine leaders to formally request that the money be reprogrammed, the officials said on condition of anonymity because the meeting has not yet taken place. Military officials said the shift in funds would not affect any day-to-day war spending or the troops in battle. The Pentagon has come under fire in recent months, particularly from Congress, for perceived delays in getting the armored vehicles to the troops. Gates has said that getting more of the armored vehicles to the troops is a top priority. And he has demanded an accelerated effort to get them to Iraq in large numbers to replace the more vulnerable Humvee utility vehicle used by soldiers and Marines. The additional money would help contractors get more of the vehicles to the field faster, the officials said. They did not say exactly how many more or how much faster the work could be done. On July 11, the Pentagon's Joint Requirements Oversight Council, which includes high-ranking representatives from all of the military services, agreed that the military needs to buy as many of the reinforced vehicles as the contractors could churn out. The group previously endorsed the need for nearly 7,800 MRAPs, which included about 2,500 for the Army. The projected cost would be about $8.4 billion. Army officials have said they could use as many as 17,700 and the Marines want 3,700. In its memo, the council said the Pentagon wants to "reach a maximum production rate as soon as possible," but the final number to be bought will depend on the changing conditions in the war, feedback from commanders and any possible changes in the military's mission in Iraq. To date, no U.S. forces have been killed while riding in the MRAP carriers, which cost about $1 billion each and have a unique V-shaped hull that deflects blasts outward and away from passengers. They are considered lifesavers against the No. 1 killer in Iraq — roadside bombs. The military officials said it is hoped that Congress would eventually restore much of the funding, which is being shifted from other accounts for the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30. A significant amount of the money for the Army, for example, was initially earmarked for maintenance and refurbishment of equipment that was scheduled to come back to the United States with units that had planned to come home after one-year deployments. Gates, however, extended the Iraq tours to a maximum of 15 months, and as a result there have been savings in some of those repair accounts. ___ On the Net: Defense Department: http://www.defenselink.mil -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I didn't need one of these stupid rings. For me it was very, very simple - nobody wanted to have sex with me! It sucked at the time, but in retrospect it was nice to avoid pregnancies and STD's. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

How exactly did they do that? By discussing the progress of the war and possible new courses of action? And what do you suggest out congress do, ignore the war? In reality, things like unarmored Hummers and lack of body armor is what leads to casualties, not talk. But if you believe that it is talk that leads to troop deaths it allows you to further your agenda of eliminating dissent. Sorry, but that's not happening. If they brought them home tomorrow, would you credit them with saving a lot of their lives? -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

That one seems like cut and dry rape to me. Who made the video? His friends? And what kind of friends say "Hey, my bro is raping that passed out chick, let's get some video!"? Anyway, he's already in jail for something else. Moral of the story - Don't do 8 shots of vodka with a bunch of criminals, pass out, and expect not to be raped. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

And how many US troops would have to die, and how hopeless would the situation have to be before you thought they might be doing it for the good of the country and the safety of the troops? -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Agreed. If I was there I would shoot first and ask questions later. Fuck if I would die for nothing - sorry about your luck innocents. That's fucked up, but it's the truth. How many soldiers there now feel the same way, I wonder? -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Do you honestly believe - even just a little - that over 50% of Congress actually wants the US to lose the war (however you define that)? You really think that the Democratic party wants American servicemen and women to die? If you are buying into the punchlines and rhetoric of right wing radio so much that you actually believe the Democratic party has a platform that amounts to treason, how is it even possible to have a remotely rational conversation with you? Close, but not exactly. They want the deaths of our military servicemen to stop. They are willing to achieve that by losing the war at any cost. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED The military objective was to stop the imminent attack by WMDs and remove SH from power. Those objectives are accomplished. The war is over. All we are doing now is nation building and you can't do that with the Army. I don't think our troops should be used for what's called nation-building. -G.W. Bush It seems Mr. Bush is a liar! -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Well, it seems that more troops are possibly headed for Iraq. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2007/07/ready_for_surge_ii.html?nav=rss_blog http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/07/16/ap3918347.html I guess they think it's working. Did they miss all of the recent massacres? Oh well, whatever - I don't have to go, so fuck it, I guess..... -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

So, it's like global warming? Exactly. A bunch of people scream and shout and try to use the government to push their personal agendas for personal gain. And both have an ultimate goal of trying to bankrupt those with more money than them. That's not what I meant, but I think you knew that. I was asking if it is like global warming in that it runs in cycles and we can do very little to crontrol/impact it in a meaningful way. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

I have a feeling that gun laws will suffer a crackdown no matter who wins in 08. With that in mind, what's the best SHTF assault rifle to pick up, that doesn't cost over $1000, and has a ready supply of cheap ammo? I am thinking maybe an AK-47 is in the cards, but I think the ammo prices have been going up due to all the wars. I do like the old COMBLOC stuff. So far I have a Mosin Nagant and a Makarov...... I can out shoot pretty much any new small/med frame auto with the Mak. The fixed barrel makes a big difference. I get a chuckle watching the guys with the new auto standing 10 feet from the target and not hitting a damn thing. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

OK, apologies for the D-head remark. As for my whack-off comment, it was meant as a joke, but I guess you weren't in the joking mood. Lighten up, er, pal. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Riiiiight. And you never beat off either, do you? Just because you like to go home with scanks/heffers/homelies (and aren't ashamed enough to forego blabbing about it) that doesn't mean every guy has equally low standards. You took a humorous post about beer goggles and turned it into a personal insult about my 'low standards', so right back at you on the PA allegation. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

Amazing. No wonder it was so easy to win that war. Evidently, a group of junior Boy Scouts with their sling shots could have dominated the battle space. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

How much of this was stated in the article? Also, it seems that your saying that if a woman gets friendly with a guy (let's say kissing)... and she gets hammered, she really has no reason to complain if the guy takes her clothes off and screws her. Is that about right? That was always our interpretation at the frat house. Seriously though, haven't you ever had a few too many and gone hoggin and regretted it in the morning? That happened to me in college at least once. I was rocked beyond belief and the girl was stone cold sober. The next day all the ladies thought I was so sweet for hooking up with the poor girl. I ended up getty TONS more poon through that little adventure..... So, I didn't complain about her taking advantage of me in my altered state. And to their credit, my buddies did try to get me away from her...... -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

When it happens to a guy they just sneak off in the morning and then get laughed at by their friends for several months. Like the time my roommate hooked up with an older woman. Like waaaaaaay older. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.
