>>The only chemical weapons that 180,000 clowns in uniform ever found in Iraq were the recent ones that they themselves are using on civilians to burn them to death, women and children.<< First, your generalization the Iraqi deployment of U.S. marines and soldiers amount to "180,000 clowns" is a crass and untrue statement and your generalizations (well thought out I might add)are designed to add insult to deaths and injury. Even the most hardcore protestors to the Iraq conflict within the U.S. don't come anywhere close to crossing the line the way you do. "1,200 American personnel are in Pakistan to assist with relief efforts. One-hundred fifty eight U.S. military and civilian cargo airlift flights have delivered about 1,900 tons of medical supplies, food, shelter material, blankets, and rescue equipment to Pakistan.U.S. helicopters have flown 2,400 sorties delivering over 4,000 tons of relief supplies to the disaster area and transporting over 16,000 people needing medical attention. A U.S. Army Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) is operating in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, providing urgent medical care to more than 2,000 injured people. Nine U.S. military ships have delivered over 100 pieces of heavy equipment, 34 containers of supplies and 176 tons of humanitarian assistance through the port of Karachi. -- Mansoor Ijaz, chairman of Crescent Investment Management in New York, just returned from the earthquake-stricken areas of northern Pakistan and Kashmir." nationalreview.com NOTE - a reminder that this was achieved my American voters allowing for large U.S. military budgets. >>they themselves are using on civilians to burn them to death, women and children.<< The fact of the matter is, there are men all over this earth who will stop at nothing to remove your rights and freedoms, and enlist you into slavery. Many hundreds of thousands of men died and gave their lives to give you the right to your freedom of expression and to say what you are now saying. Since I doubt that you have ever been to Iraq, and am willing to wager that you would never venture to the place you are insinuating you support, I would say that you have not one single iota of proof to show the U.S. is intentionally "civilians to burn them to death, women and children." >>The war is lost my friend.<< When a person claims they have a monopoly on the truth, I know the enemy is lurking nearby. >>Americans don't trust the military complex<< That is why Americans vote, election after election, for governments that set military budgets at levels larger than any country on earth. That is also why multiple U.S. states, cities and communities all across the U.S. vigorously opposed the closing of U.S. bases and in some cases succeeded in stopping their closures. >>Saddam is out, the USA went in on false pretences to secure Iraqi oil and will end up with NOTHING except more hatred for the USA.<< In the UN oil for food program it was the "friends" of Iraq who were accused of rigging the process and corrupting it. More and more "hatred" and "bullets" are being fired at the U.S. from the very ones who were given that freedom to do so by the U.S. and her allies. >>Face the facts or bury your head but Bush is finished, his war is lost and Blair is going down fast as well.<< Your generalizations are designed to stir up hatred and designed to promulgate hatred and with exaggerations and half-truths. When the marginalized blacks and Muslims rioted in France and burned more cars than any riot on earth before they were not protesting against the U.S.. They were protesting against a country who's government DID NOT EVEN GO TO IRAQ. They felt a stronger force to react against their own government then they did to protest the Iraq war. >>the same ones that got them involved in Vietnam, where they got soundly defeated by people with more determination and higher moral values than Americans.<< How many soldiers are stationed on the demilitarized zone in South Korea? Who has nurtured and promoted the Korean economy? How many jobs were created and how many tourist dollars flow into Vietnam and Korea as result of the freedom they gained? What was the casualty ratio between the two "sides" in the Vietnam war?. "soundly defeated"? >>The pot smoking Americans lost in Vietnam and God knows what drugs these hillbillies in uniform are on in Iraq but after reading the book Selling Sickness, it is obvious that most Americans are addicted to mind damaging drugs.<< Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to illustrate that peace and freedom cannot be obtained through people who hate. >it is obvious that most Americans are addicted to mind damaging drugs<< I would tone down your rhetoric if I were you.I never claimed to have a hotline to the truth and I don't believe everything I read or for that matter what I post. Because at the end of the day the rooster was cock-sure just before the peasants made soup from it.
