>>How many of those soldiers & Marines do you feel don't believe in their mission?<<

I don't know. But they will do the work they signed on for regardless. Too bad the politicians fail them.

[I got the rope]

Which stupid neo-cons are you talking about? My guess is that you are talking about the Civilians that are running the war. Bremer, Rumsfeld, Wolfasomething, etc.

[Greg Weston]

That's some of them...

"This is probably going to be an e-mail not liked by some but here goes anyway. I think we need to find out what means something to these animals (and something has to) perhaps their families. There has to be a love for their children or wives, more than likely their children more than their wives. These scumbags don't care about themselves because they feel they are being martyrs for the "greater good" of their people. You know what, that's fine but if they think that once they do something like homicide bomb innocent people, that their children will be killed at our hands not on their terms such as raising them to also be homicide bombers they might think an extra second about it.

Like I said, this is horrible to think about but if doing this would have people second guess they're primative thought and mmost impotantly save American lives then guess what.... I don't think there are many other choices."


As irony would have it, I posted this on 2/11/04 to Joe Hadenuf, I still think this would make some think ???

[Joe Hadenuf]

Or do you prefer fighting them at your front door?

Fight who at our doors?

Are they going to send their armies here? Or just sneak in a few hundred or thousand with agendas of death?

Are you talking about stopping the million man conga line at the border? Or are you thinking their going to send their airforce or navy here?

They send in teams to inflict damage.

You think?

Why risk losing one or more members, and jeopardizing the operation by trying to sneak across the SW border, when they can simply get a Visa and some airplane tickets?

Oh they're going that route again eh Louie? Got it all figured out huh?

So we just ignore those trucks entering with tons of pot, trucks with 80 people crammed in, and we all know they miss the huge majority of this. Who knows what could already be in this country. Don't think it could happen louie? Do you not see what else could possibly enter?

Mexico is a corrupt country, they do anything for a bribe. A million enter every year from God knows where. Are you starting to see a slight security risk here? Think hard Louie, you need not be a security expert.

And no Louie, we wont kill them all on the dusty streets of Iraq, or any other country. Not even a tiny fraction.

[Hand em their arse]

hahaha, every time you think you're out, he keeps pulling you back in, huh?

[MEG33]

One note,always the one note.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Brilliant!

[Hand em their arse]

I don't know, I had always thought that soldiers kill people and break stuff... Sounds like they're doing what they signed up for to me...

[Luis Gonzalez]

Oh!

Only YOU have it all figured out Joey?

You're the holder of all knowledge Joey?

Here's a fact: they didn't come in through the SW border, did they Joey?

By the way...it would be far easier to enter across the Canadian border, or land anywhere on the coast than to enter through the SW border.

Or even come in legally just like the last time.

You hate everything Mexican Joey, and that's YOUR problem, blinded by your hatred.

[MEG33]

My pleasure.

Some folks say, As a useful point of reference, the range for annual murders in New York City over the past 13 years is from a Guiliani-led low of ~650 to a liberoid-led high of 2,262 in 1990.

This is not a useful point of reference. There are Millions of people in New York City. There are 120,000 troops stuck in the middle east.

[Barlowmaker]

The Marines (new forces, just replaced)are just settling down. The first round is over and they listen to their corners. I personally would not want to be on the other end. Round 2 starts tomorrow. Good luck finding enough virgins for all of the pajama wearing scumbags.

I'm confident you are right. Having read the book "The March Up", I was amazed by the ability of the USMC to process "lessons learned" and direct appropriate tactical responses in nearly real time. It may be because their Lt. and Major Generals and top field commanders are on the ground, at or near the front.

You got to read about this incident with JF Kerry:

John Kerry has the Hillary attitude

[Hand em their arse]

Good night guys, look forward to debating with you again soon...

[Joe Hadenuf]

Oh

Here's a fact: they didn't come in through the SW border, did they Joey?

Boy, what an intelligent snappy answer. But..er no louie they didn't.

If 19 terrorist entered, no problemo, could not hundreds have already entered or enter. How about those trucks that never get caught with 80 people crammed inside. Lets see, could those people be replaced really mean cargo??

For all you know louie, they could be serving you your slurpy at greedy mart in downtown Miami.

So........ Since they didn't enter their the first time through our borders means it will never happen? Are you serious?

Please louie, do us a slight favor, don't ever go into the security business.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Take care!

"Perhaps an even better reference point is this - - -
The Dieppe Raid that lasted only one day, cost 907 dead among the allied commandos"

Nope. Wrong. In World War Two we had 20 million men under arms, we don't have a fraction of that today. 12 men in one day is like 1200 back in WW2 and at least we were fighting with no hands tied behind our backs. Today the Marine First Division motto was recently changed to "Do NO Harm First".

That is PC taken to the suicide extreme.

[Missouri]

Bump.

A friend and co-worker has a cousin who is a Marine and is right in the middle of all this. All I can think about is how he is doing right now. I'm praying for him and his fellow Marines to get through this battle.

That's disturbing.
