Ok folks I'm better today so I wanted to point out a couple things that have been posted on this board. I'm not trying to create a gang mentality but I have been on a bit of a crusade recently (as you know) with Redfish. I don't know if he needs the attention so bad that he's willing to post the way he does or if he really feels the way he posts but either way I can't accept some of the garbage that gets posted. I have removed all my ignores because they serve no purpose. If we don't respond to lunacy it wont just go away as has been proven over the past few weeks with him. Here are some posts that I think really cross the line and I'd like everyone to weigh in (in a calm manner) and tell him why its not acceptable to post these things. I can't do it alone because he's not listening to me. He doesn't even have the courage to apologize for his Christmas Eve salvo attacks into my camp LOL. So check these out and respond - be decent but respond because its the right thing to do. I don't want him banned from this thread but I do want enough people to weigh in on his BS so that he either changes his tune or stays on the Sioux thread where we've all been moderated out because nobody can have a view that differs from theirs.

In the 22 months of Iraq occupation: Total number of US troops killed in the first 11 months : 485 Total number of US troops killed in the next 11 months : 855 That's Dumbya's "valley of peace" for you. And btw, the "dead enders" of Rumsfeld, i.e. the insurgents are now said to number 200,000 fighters... It's only a question of time before they bring in the draft. Of course, it will have a cute name like, "mandatory homeland service" or some such, but it will look, walk and qualk like a draft.
