US troops question presence in Iraq

Coinciding with the report, the army yesterday admitted that at least 13 US troops had committed suicide in Iraq, representing more than 10% of American non-combat deaths there......

Maybe the author would desire 1,300 non-combat deaths so that self-inflicted harm would only account for 1% of non-combat deaths.

This will be the pattern of reporting for the Quagmire Brigade for future U.S. wars ..........

It is the year 2013 and, in a 7 day blitzkrieg, the U.S. has routed every terrorist nation on the Planet Earth at the cost of one death. The follwing week, two U.S. soldiers are killed by a terrorist hold-out. The headline by the Liberal media:

"U.S. Deaths During Bungled Peace Are 200% Higher Than During Wartime"

Looks like Patriotic Cowboy is the one who was obsessed...and now he's ridden off into the sunset, to that great Round Up in the sky.

Why are you so obsessed with me? You got a gay crush on me?.......PatrioticCowboy

It seems that PatrioticCowboy could not differentiate between a gay crush and documentation to justify action by the Viking Kitties.

Well, well. Look what happens when I leave for a few days. PC goes and gets himself banned. You know, you'd figure he'd be smart enough to lay off the quagmire threads for a few days to let the storm blow over.

Obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He won't be missed.
