It sounds like there's quite the fight going on. Let's crush the bastards/

This is major combat. The people we "defeated" in Saddam's army just had a tactical retreat. They are still armed, they still hate us, they still want to kill us. They just aren't wearing uniforms.

And it seems that you are giving them your support.

[glock rocks]

God bless, and thank you, Long Cut.

Prayers for our Marines.

I intend to vote for Bush in November.

But you seem intent to bloody him up real good over the next six months.

You're like an abusive husband.

I;m fully aware that a large part of Saddam's troops just disappeared. It still doesn't change the fact that you are going wobbly and sound like you have no backbone. Get ticked at the enema not our country. If families talked like you during WWII we would be speaking German right now.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I don't think that he meant there would be no more fighting

I never said he said we were done fighting.

just that for the most part we were in control. It sounds like he was right.

We don't have control. They are just waiting for us to hand over political control and begin leaving. You bide your time. It's tactical.

God bless you, Long Cut. Our prayers are with the military and their families.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh bogdan, thank you, and God bless you too.

Just have a discussion about what I say if you want to. Just saying they are DNC talking points and ignoring them doesn't accomplish anything.

Half-Staff

Today our Marines and Soldiers
Are fighting and dying on our behalf
Lower the flag of your heart
Out of respect to half-staff

They were all volunteers
They didn't have to be there
But they paid the ultimate price
Because for you and me they cared

Give them all honor, all glory
It can never be half of what they're due
These men of honor and courage
Who died loving the red, white and blue

We don't have control. They are just waiting for us to hand over political control and begin leaving. You bide your time. It's tactical

And that is why a vast minority started to cause trouble 3 months before the handover on June 30th.

Seems to me they are afraid of June 30th, and wish to make sure it doesn't happen, but unfortunately for them it will.

[Brad’s Gramma]

No. You are SO wrong.

[GraniteStateConservative]

An agent of the DNC?

Bond. James Bond. Geez.

[sinkspur]

What you say is wrong. You've been slamming Bush for over a month.

It makes no sense, unless you're just doing it for the attention.

[Dane]

An agent of the DNC?

Bond. James Bond. Geez

Nah, IMO, you are more like,

Williams, Juan Williams.

~610 American deaths in over a YEAR of fighting. That's ~12 deaths per State in the US, or about 1 death per State per month for a year.

Let's see... September 11 killed about 3000 people in ONE DAY.

Yep, I can see why you think the American deaths in Iraq are outrageously high. Guess it's that New Math, huh?

[GraniteStateConservative]

Did the LBJ/Nixon admins have a vendor make your Mission Accomplished banner for display directly behind the president?

I didn't say he said the war was over. We have over 130K troops over there. Of course it's not over. He said major combat was over. Major combat isn't over. Our combat with Iraqis who wanted to kill us was just in a pause.

What you say is wrong

It's wrong? How so?
