"All that I am saying is that we could be doing better job at some of our occupation duties."
I am sure that we could be doing a better job at some of our occupation duties. The British could also be doing a better job, since they are not now doing a perfect job.
You could also do a much better job of posting intelligent and interesting responses to this thread.
I can look posters in the eye, but you cannot look them in the eye, since you are an idiot and you know that you are an idiot.
Pukka Puck, other than the fact that I disagree with you, why am I an idiot? I'm sure than name calling served you well in the playground when you were ten years old, but it is a little on the lame side now.
Britain's long experience in Northern Ireland, and numerous other places, serves as evidence for my contention that they have more knowledge of urban peacekeeping operations than the US. The fact that American soldiers have opened fire on crowds and killed 15 Iraqi civilians, versus no such incidents for the British, is evidence of my belief that the Brits are doing a better job than us.
