Chefkeith, why the hostility? if you really want to hate someone, just admit it! I don't know you, I don't know Allegra.

As I explained previously, I was just sticking up for a soldier's relative. In addition, I do have contacts who have been on the ground longer than Allegra has, and I have contacts in military intelligence. I also have personal experience with Iraqis and the current situation in Iraq.

I mean no harm to you, so please understand that I am not hostile to you. We are on the same side.

Why are you so defensive???

[ChefKeith]

Because you were being rude to Allegra and in Texas we tend to defend the Wimmin' Folk because we are Gentlemen here (although most of them can take care of themselves) even if they are on the other side of the World.

If I was being "hostile" it would be very apparent and my posts would have been pulled.

I was not the only poster here to have the same outlook on this. Have a nice day.

[Alas Babylon!]

My take on you, RushCrush.... You were the one who started being hostile. You started off assuming Allegra was someone who didn't know anything, and rather than just admit it when you were proved wrong, you changed it to imply she was safe in the green zone, and therefore still didn't know anything. That to me is more than a little despicable, as first off the intel and command centers are right there with her, secondly being in the green zone is absolutely not safe.

Why can't some poster simply say "Oops! Sorry", and leave it at that, rather than twisting all over trying to prove they were never wrong?
