First of all, what's plagurism?

Thanks for the spelling lesson. Now give us some more of the history lessons you heard some others feed you.

Yeah lady, I am a liberal, even though 50% of the posters agree with me and I think we should hit Iraq, Syria, and the Palastinians next. Yeah, I am way liberal. Way way left.

Patton never appointed SS men to anything.

No, but as Dane pointed out, former members of the Nazi Party were appointed because membership in the Party was a pre-requisite for any position of consequence in Nazi Germany. Therefore, just about any German administrator worth his salt had been a Nazi Party member.

Membership in the SS was something separate and in an entirely different league than job-related membership in the Nazi Party.

You, dinok, are the one who first brought up the "SS" analogy for this particular general.

From what little has come out, it seems that he was a military man would stayed out of politics. What other information do you have about this particular general that would justify your "SS" analogy.

As long as you are going to compare him to the SS without any particular justification for your comparison, dinok, why not go all the way and compare him to Satan himself and then point out that "Patton never appointed Satan to anything"?

Am I reading the New York Times? "Well since Bush was only in the Guard, that is like not serving at all, therefore he didn't serve at all, therefore he burned his draft card and went to Canada, therefore he is a communist. See, Bush is a communist." Excellent deductive reasoning.

Really, there are 50,000 posters on FR(out of a total registration of over 100,000) that agree with you.

Again JMO, you are a legend in your own mind.

But no one is stopping you from pontificating from 6,000 miles away. Seems that you get mightily pissed when someone points that out.

Also, BTW, I am a male and your petty tries at insults are some of the most pathetic I have seen on FR.

The military option was already there and it was not used.

Everyday is a victory for the enemy. Time is the friend of our enemy in this conflict. Everyday they get better and more modern more lethal weapons and tactics.

The Arabs are thanking Allah for providing them with a military miracle in Fallujah. - the Islamists had - No armor, No aircraft, surrounded by the dreaded Marines and .... Bush retreated.

Oh my God you are dense! The posters on these threads!

I am done with you. Go dream about daisys and other pretty flowers.

Also, BTW, I am a male and your petty tries at insults are some of the most pathetic I have seen on FR.

So, you are a feminist. Big deal.

What happened to the Heroic Islamic Resistance?



The question Aljazeera is asking now is
What happened to the Heroic Marines?

The World is Laughing at US.

Again JMO, but you shouldn't post on FR while intoxicated.

Your reply #49 reeks of someone overindulging on the sauce.

Not according to some of the geniuses on this and a couple other threads. We are doing the sensible thing.

95% of these geniuses have never served a day in the military. I am sure of it. Even if they say they did, they did not. They don't have a clue.

Thank god our early Presidents didn't feel that way about paying tribute to the Islamic barbary pirates -- for "safe passage"...

Your analogy is not even relevant. Last time I looked at a map, Iraq was not on the open seas.

This is my last post to you. No you won't.

But keep on posting, IMO, you are the one making the point of the last word in the above italicized passage

No, that was a creation of the media. The "Elite Republican Guard" was never elite. The Iraqi version of the SS is the Fedayeen...belonging to Saddam's boyz...

But we iced most of them in their Toyota pickups in the initial campaign...

The lib media smells blood and is itching for anything. Give them Marines coming home in flag-draped coffins or civilians dead after the Marines go in and they will be swarming


The media has been against us for decades, So What Else is New? This mentality of being afraid of the media leads to defeat. Condi had the same mentality when she said we didn't respond to the Cole attack because we were afraid of Emboldening the enemy.

We need to act in a way that the ENEMY is afraid of EMBOLDENING THE U S A.

Smart money says these Iraqi forces join up with the insurgents and starts attacking US forces.

Let's see. Their choices are:

A. Wipe out, with the support of U.S. air power, the remaining Baathist thugs that are surrounded and trapped like rats in the Golan slum district of Fallujah by U.S. Marines and have a future as the Golden Boys of the new Iraqi Army.

Or

B. Join the remaining Baathist thugs that are surrounded and trapped like rats in the Golan slum district of Fallujah by U.S. Marines so that they can die a violent death by an AC-130 strike, a Marine sniper round through their skull or a 2,000 pound JDAM collapsing the building they are hiding in sometime during the next six weeks.

Hmmmmmm........Tough choice. They are both so equally attractive.

Tell you what, Guillermo, after a lot of thinking, I'd like some of that action.

Put me down for "A."
