Did you want to respond to the content of my post..or was that it?

Content?

It looks like slogans and your opinion to me.

Your determination to engage in war and "win" at any cost may win you friends on this forum, but it can also signal an obsession. Gamblers are especially prone to it, as I have discovered recently.

Successful poker players know when to bet, when to bluff and when to fold.

OK..let's try again.
The WOT is a world wide struggle involving a faceless enemy who is very determined and focused. He will use every means to kill us, indeed he would destroy us, if he could. It's no longer a game of sticks and arrows, he would love to get his hands on a nuke and bring it right here and detonate it right here in one of our cities.

I maintain (yes, it is my opinion) that such an enemy must be fought at all cost, all over the world, win, lose or draw. I maintain that we have no other option.

Your determination to engage in war and "win" at any cost may win you friends on this forum, but it can also signal an obsession. Gamblers are especially prone to it, as I have discovered recently.

I have no friends on this forum and I'm not looking for any. What few I had were expunged in the last purge. As far as the obsession, I don't know what part of that you personally have experienced but for me it's merely a desire to live in relative security in my own homeland without fear of some crazy muslim setting off a bomb as I go shopping. If that's an obsession, so be it.

Successful poker players know when to bet, when to bluff and when to fold.

Actually, I do enjoy poker but in a casino I only play the one game where the odds are in my favor. Are you saying it's time to fold in the WOT?
