<description>Its funny how all you people regurgitate the SHIT you hear on the news. The news works by reporting the bad. All news. They never say There were no bad accidents or fires today. They blow some other story out of proportion. I am Cpl Dilmores friend. It makes much more sense to listen to what someone says who is actually, personally, physically in the war rather than someone moron who is a higher up who sits at a desk and puts his &#039;spin&#039; on things. These high rannking offovials that you quote are the same morons who &#039;let&#039; these things happen. These people are dumb. The war sucks. It sucks for Nick. Not you. The sad truth is we&#039;ll never know how much this may have made us safer. Its hard to measure accurately how something makes you safer. Youll make decisions today that made you safeer, yet you will never know that doing that may have saved your life. You people are like the losers that sit there asses in college and walk out to protest the war. That is the funniedt thing Ive ever seen. You are pahetic. Nick, Keep your head up!! Love ya man!!!Get back safe and soon. </description>

<description>Eric-you state...everybody supports the troops....thats a bunch of horseshit.  Shark, Mark, &amp; Spidey most certainly don&#039;t.  It&#039;s just lip service.  It&#039;s not real.

Btw the most certainly are acting like a troll.  Please quit do it!</description>

<description>Sarge, you state:

&lt;i&gt;The president was duly elected (even if he had lost it still would not change our role in Iraq). He and the congress have decide to enter into a war with Iraq. The soldiers are there at their (your national leaders&#039;) behest. The soldiers are fighting for and dieing for you (as americans). This is not their war! They are just doing their duty.&lt;/i&gt;

No one disputes this. Everyone supports the troops. But it&#039;s the right of citizens to express an informed (or unformed) opinion. It&#039;s the right and perhaps obligation of citizens to cry out when they feel the government is taking action they disagree with. 

The fact that government actions are putting soldiers in harm&#039;s way only increases the importance of the above.

&lt;i&gt;Eric-you&#039;re starting to sound like a troll.&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;m not sure you have you have a good handle on the definition of troll.</description>

<description>See if you sissies can get your minds around this:

The president was duly elected (even if he had lost it still would not change our role in Iraq).  He and the congress have decide to enter into a war with Iraq.  The soldiers are there at their (your national leaders&#039;) behest.  The soldiers are fighting for and dieing for you (as americans).  This is not their war!  They are just doing their duty.  If you are unable to vocally support your troops, perhaps you would be kind enough to keep quiet and get out of their way as they go about their duty.</description>

<description>EB - it ain&#039;t me that&#039;s trying to pretend that only one side lies.   Ijust don&#039;t remember the screams of&quot;LIAR&quot; when slick willie was getting his willie waxed in the oval office or when he was disbarred after he left the white house...or when whitewater or travelgate or any of hte other BS went on, back in the day, as they say.

Some people are just very selective in who they scream about.  It&#039;s sorta like drawing pics of condi rice with big lips and a bandana on her head making her look like aunt jemima and the &quot;progressives&quot; saying, oh, that&#039;s ok, she&#039;s a republican!

I personally believe that the words politician, lawyer and liar are ALL synonyms.

Progressive, that still cracks me up, the new word for liberal!  HA!</description>

<description>Sgt, I believe they are doing their best and I agree with their general plan and approach, but some of the details have been not handled optimally. I offer my general support but reserve the right to criticize details, as have many from within the military itself.</description>

<description>Oh Eric, I quite agree.  You may offer your comments up as you see fit (regardless of serving in the military).  The real issue is do you want these goof balls dictating military policy.  I sure don&#039;t.  I have faith in Rumsfeldt and the chief of staffs.  I am positive they are honorable men.  I hold Shark and the others in a completely different regard.

It&#039;s easy to critise the work of others, especially when you hold no personal stake in the outcomes.  </description>

<description>I agree that perspective is critical and often missing. I also must say that if I can support the war and talk about it without having been in the military, others should be able to not support the war and talk about it under the same circumstances. I do not believe military service or lack thereof has any bearing on the logic one&#039;s argument, as I have stated ad nauseum in response to attacks on my own &quot;right&quot; to support the war.</description>

<description>What in the heck have you been smoking?

You write:

In terms of being &#039;unbiased&#039;, you have claimed that this is all about &#039;fighting the good fight&#039; without revealing that you directly make money off of it.

I have never made such a claim.  I support the war.  I support our troops (not just lip service like you and Natalie Maines pay).  I support our president and his cabinet.  I truely believe they are acting in (all) americans&#039; best interests.  

I am not the one who calls everybody who disagrees with him a motherfucker.  I personally believe that we as americans are better off not having you or that idiot shark or that crazy saleski in our military.  I personally belive that it would be a huge mistake if anybody ever paid any attenion to anything you knuckleheads have to say.

It&#039;s kind like what the soldier said.  You have not real stake in any of this so one should not take you seriously.

If you want a serious discussion, how about offering your solutions/recommendations instead of just critising the current program.  Try to remember that if Kerry had been elected everythig would still be the same as he endorsed the war.

Lastly, try to keep things in perspective.  Seat belts and the sars virus cause more death to americans that Iraq.

<description>Yes, Shark used a very unflattering term to describe Rice, but on the whole he does not offend so much as provoke. (and Shark, come on... you coulda just called her Sleazy Lies...) You choose to call everyone here names and me in particular.

In terms of being &#039;unbiased&#039;, you have claimed that this is all about &#039;fighting the good fight&#039; without revealing that you directly make money off of it.

I know quite a few folks here support the war, but they tend to make their points using rational arguments vs. just trying to shout everyone down with nonsense. Had you engaged us in discussion you would have found us to be receptive to it.</description>

<description>Well it is certainly better than the language your buddy Shark uses to describe women.  Let me see...how did he describe the next sec of state????

And where did you get the notion I was unbiased?  Somehow you got all goofed up (again).

But hey that&#039;s just being you.</description>

<description>starting to? I personally just love being told to bake cookies and clean bathrooms by someone who makes their living working for a defense contractor yet claims to be &#039;unbiased&#039; in his view of the war...

but that&#039;s just me...

<description>Yeah imagine the military being run by a bunch of goofballs...yeah imagine that!  For sure we would all be better off...yeah imagine that!  No there is most definatley a reason why we don&#039;t want you or your ilk to be any where around the decision making process.

<description>Andy: If you want to pretend one political party has a monopoly on lying, you&#039;re either highly deluded or out-of-your-mind partisan. 

And you seem like a pretty bright fellow.</description>
