You shut up, arrgoant ass! See how adult that sounds? If we're "intelligent adults" coming to discuss issues of concern to us, why can't you control yourself? What's YOUR major malfunction?

I refuse to sit back when we lose troops like this, and let this "everthing's fine, we will kick their ass" mentality pass without comment. We've got a serious problem in Iraq, and it is probably going to get worse. That's my opinion. Sorry if that disturbs your sensitive makeup.

Lose troops like what? Do you have a reliable report, when nobody else does?

and let this "everthing's fine, we will kick their ass" mentality pass without comment.

Do you think that these attacks will not result in our kicking the salamikaze's asses, as has always happened previously when it came to a straight-up fight between our guys and theirs? If so, will you please provide a basis for your belief?

We've got a serious problem in Iraq, and it is probably going to get worse. That's my opinion.

And we're sure it's a very fine opinion. To me, however, it sounds more like a worry than anything you can back up with actual information.

Sorry if that disturbs your sensitive makeup.

Hey -- I'm a sensitive guy. I hate to see you doing this to yourself.

Bushmeister, get a grip. The war went hot again. We will prevail. We have lots of problems... or challenges. Maybe we lose 20 marines in this but we stop losing the trickle to the IEDs. It'll all even out. Main thing is we can't go wobbly. It doesn't help the troops and it doesn't help the ones who've made the sacrifice.

As he died to make men holy let us die to make men free... His Truth Is Marching On!

I would guess more than a few freepers are laughing at anyone characterizing the Dog as 'sensitive'.

That is a good one. If you don't know me, you better ask somebody.

We do have a problem. Allow me to mention two of them.

Number 1, We have enemies of ours that are now hiding in mosques for protection and because of our "politically correct" sensitivities, we are impotent to do anything about it.

Number 2, Although we have superiour firepower and can have all of these Jihadis on their knees in a day we are afraid to use it for fear of hurting or killing innocents in the process thereby neutralizing the threat the superiour firepower is supposed to present.

Example: What good is a nuke if your enemy knows for sure that you won't use it.

"We've got a serious problem in Iraq, and it is probably going to get worse."

Wrong. We have a minor problem in Iraq, and it will be better soon.

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

Pukin Dog is an intelligent adult who knows that of which he speaks, while you, BushMeister, are a chicken little of the worst sort. Mind your manners around your betters.
