So if I want to know whats really going on in Iraq, I should go find Filipino cafeteria worker at Camp Victory to get the real story? Whatever!!

What the hell is the point of this question?

I think my points are the most salient. I think everybody, give or take a couple, are practicing groupthink.

I guarantee you that the actual warfighters don't think the Pentagon should cave to the ACLU and Alvin Hellerstein. Maybe you do, because you didn't go house to house. You don't understand how those pictures will be talked about in the Cafes of Iraq with their tobacco pipes and how it will make their pacification operations more difficult. And how much contact did you have witht he unpredictable, hot-blooded Iraqis?

You know, this entire comment is just too stupid for words. Honestly, just quit now before you get banned.

Why should I answer you anymore since you won't my experiences as fact nor Allegra's and she is THERE? You have never been there, so all you can do is ASS-ume things from what you have heard? Hate to tell you, but you are DEAD WRONG!! our soldiers will do their jobs with or without the photos and some Iraqis are going to fight with or without the photos. fact of life. oh wait, you didnt come up with that "fact" so it cant be true can it?

hehehe yeah it is...

I won't call her a she. I can't imagine a woman would come up with something to stupid. Sure my experience with women may be a bit limited, but my wife have a family virtually filled with women and not one of them is THIS STUPID.

This has to be a guy playing dumb.

The point is his vantage point from behind the gates at the base is roughly equivalent to a Filipino Cafeteria Worker at said base. He wasn't going house to house in Ramadi, he wasn't wearing desert camo amongst the Iraqi civilian population and he doesn't have a monopoly on what's actually going on in Iraq. Furthermore, the perception of what's going on held by a majority of americans is that its going down the tubes-- to say it isn't trending that way is to engage in rank denial.

You're a puffer. You were there, I'm glad that you were. Just like I am glad that the Filipino and Bangladeshi cafeteria workers are there giving our heroes over there warm meals. But that doesn't mean that the Filipino meatball chefs have a bead on the strategic, political and tactical challenges and opportunities we have in Iraq.

Friday Night Fights.....

In this corner, MikeinIraq - a strapping man with heart and soul and backbone..

In that corner, faithincowboys - a whining she/male with no faith, no backbone and no hope.

Make your bets people......

So you're position is that since you were there you have a superior understanding of the facts on the ground. Likewise, since I am here in America, while you're making Sloppy Joes in the Phillipines, I have a superior sense of the facts on the ground and the national mood. And, sadly, they aren't trending our way, Sport.
