That would degrade a perfectly good English word.

Hey, a word is just a word, right? Isn't that what granny said?

The war in Iraq is a war of choice. It is not a war of necessity. Besides, it is all messed because we went in with too few troops, with no long-term plans and despite counsel from experienced commanders like Shinseki. Any soldier who supports the bozos that took such disastrous decisions has nobody to blame but themselves when (not if) things go wrong.

Dumbya sayeth : "I want to thank the soldiers who are there, thank those who have sacrificed... I'm confident democracy will prevail in Iraq. I know a free Iraq will lead to a more peaceful world,"

A time will come when the majority of Americans would throw up when they hear inanities like the above.

Perhaps someone should point out Dipy's posts to grainne.

She got pretty incensed and banned Dithers when he commented that there are posters on SI who glory in American casualties in Iraq.

Seems like the Dipster is a prime example.

Oh. But I see you've made the ban list as well.

I'd post it, but I'm on self-imposed exile from that thread.
