Admit military efforts have been unsuccessful

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel ^ | 11/29/06 | Letter to the Editor - Francis Pauc

I suspect that Francis Pauc lives in his mommy's basement.

And the Germans might still be in France and more people would likely have been exterminated if the US didn't enter the War.

I don't have a problem... honestly. You did not like the way I answered the question that the article asked. I can understand that and it does not bother me. I am sorry if it offended you. In 6586 posts (counting this one); this is the first time I have been insulted as to my age and maturity level. Congratulations! :-)

Wait, didn't I insult you once? (Kidding, I thought your post was funny and appropriate. Takes all kinds.)

[CyberAnt]

And .. the Vietnamization of Iraq continues:

Admit we can't win
Admit it was a blunder
Admit there is civil war
Admit Syria and Iran really want to help
Admit Bush is a dummy

DID I FORGET ANYTHING ..??

You really need to chill, your post 15 is really not what FR is about. You've been here long enough, stop acting like a newbie.

[LibLieSlayer]

I'll take a chill pill and you stop preaching. Deal?

LLS

[LibLieSlayer]

Thanks. I'll survive! ;-)

Deal, you don't act like a noob and post stupid stuff, and I won't get on your case. And I promise to respect you and your opinions. I actually think you're getting the better bargain, because I know you're a rational person. (your post was really bad, but, live and learn)

[LibLieSlayer]

We will have to agree to disagree because it was pointed to the author of the article and not to the Freeper that posted. It may have been tacky, but was not "really bad". Difference of opinion is all.

This article is non-sense.

[Indy Pendance]

You can make your point and not be tacky, regardless if it's the poster or the thread. It's a noob tactic to be crass, and it's FR's style to not be like the democrat sites. Of course, you know that, so why not uphold the higher standard?

[LibLieSlayer]

You just don't know when to leave it. You are also NOT the Standards Zar on FR.

"Sorry, I don't like adding "BARF ALERT" to titles. Don't you think the article speaks for itself?"

I agree. They're a stupid, childish tradition around here.

[syriacus]

This article is non-sense.

Partly because it is written by a pacifist who is only pretending he has weighed all sides of the Iraq War and, after much thought, has decided it is immoral.

As a pacifist, he is opposed to all war.

With every day the constant drive to admit "failure" seems like the end of Orwell's 1984 when 2+2=5.

The very concepts of success or failure no longer have any meaning aside from being progress indicators of how well the plan to break the resolve of the people is going.

Sure it does but it also lets us know where you stand on the articles content.

Thanks for the reply. I think the essay has been posted in this thread. I'll try to make time to read it.
