Blame Bush now?

[maineman]

here is a little english lesson:

the above statement does not qualify as a "fact".

it is, instead, your "opinion"

and as I have said on numerous occasions, I am more than willing and ready to go after the folks that attacked us. I think that radical islamic extremists are our most dangerous enemy in the whole world.

So when 300 of them can have an outdoor graduation ceremony in broad daylight with TV cameras recording the event in a country that we have KNOWN since 9/11 has harbored those very enemies that attacked us...and we are supposedly "occupying" that country.... while we have 150K troops in another country that was run, not by radical islamic extremists, but by secular sunni baathists, IMHO, we are not fighting our true enemies as effectively as we ought to be.

I noticed that you sort of ignored the point of this post...

but then, you always do.

that is nothing but a slanderous lie that you toss out to avoid defending your assinine positions. I have told you time and again, I understand - certainly better than you do - who our real enemies are. They most dangerous enemies we faced were NEVER secular sunni socialist pan arab baathists.

edit: I just realized, you probably don't even know what that bolded phrase means!

Soldiers’ Voices
Listen to what the armed forces have to say about Iraq.

By Buzz Patterson

Operation Arrowhead Ripper, as the latest American offensive is called, has successfully swept into al Qaeda-infested Baquba, the capital of Diyala Province northeast of Baghdad, killing and capturing hundreds of terrorists. The battles in Iraq and Afghanistan time and time again have resulted in significant, but often untold military successes. Realities on the ground often go unnoticed or under-appreciated.

“Every day, the enemy changes…only now, the enemy is becoming something new. The enemy is transitioning from the Muslim extremists to Americans. The enemy is becoming the very people whom we defend with our lives. And they do not realize it. But in denouncing our actions, denouncing our leaders, denouncing the war we live and fight, they are isolating the military from society…and they are becoming our enemy. Terrorists cut the heads off of American citizens on the Internet…and there is no outrage but an American soldier kills an Iraqi in the midst of battle, and there are investigations, and sometimes soldiers are even jailed…for doing their job…It is absolutely sickening to me to think our country has come to this.” —Sergeant Eddie Jeffers, U.S. Army

“Some of the American public have no idea how much freedom costs and who the people are that pay that awful price. I think sometimes people just see us as nameless and faceless and not really as humans…A good portion of us are actually scared that when we come home, for those of us who make it back, that there will be protesters waiting for us and that is scary.”—-Specialist Jason Gilson, U.S. Army

“What angers and hurts me as a soldier is that they parade their anti-war views in the face of my brothers and sisters who are recovering from the same battlefield that I fought on and am still fighting on as I type this e-mail. Is there no honor or dignity left in the antiwar movement? Do they have no shame? Do they have no integrity? Do they have no heart? Do they have no soul? I can answer that with a simple no! How can they say they support the troops but protest where they try to recover from war? You interviewed one gentleman, and I use that term loosely, who stated ‘If I was injured I would want someone to speak for me like this.’ Well let me tell him something, we do not want you to speak for us and we do not need you to speak for us!” —Sergeant Mark Leach, U.S. Army

spam spam spam spam.... never an intelligent response....just post an article that has little to no relevance to the actual discussion and that is about all you're "good" for.

I wish you knew how disappointing that was.

I say again: care to comment on this? Or will you just admit that spamming other people's words is really all you're good for?

Hey if you upset about the troops positive comments - ignore them as you have done in the past

 

[maineman]

positive comments from our troops do not upset me. negative ones do. do negative ones where troops complain about the folly of their mission upset you? Or do you ignore them like you ignore the things that I say?

You really are incapable of carrying on an intelligent DISCUSSION whereby you say something in your own words...I respond to it in mine.... you ask me a question in your own words...I respond in mine and offer another question back at you and you respond in your own words...and we actually converse...with one another... about issues.... not just post the words of others or attacks on "libs" or "dems".

Wouldn't you be willing to try that at least once?

 

[The Man @ Lunch]

So I presume fromn your statement that the stereotypical Marine is not intelligent and does not think ....

Don't imply that I came up with that stereotype: it existed long before either of us was born.

But in case you don't fit that stereotype, think about this: How do you think a stereotype BECOMES a stereotype?

 

[actsnoblemartin]

I dont think marines are dumb, I think they are smart, and some brilliant.

A Marine would probably have to be at least a little bit smart to get to be an officer, I'm sure.

FWIW, I can tell you that I've seen some unbelievably dense gunnery sergeants on various other forums.

 

[actsnoblemartin]

in any profession, do you not have stupid people?, and smart people. Perhaps, more in some then in others.

Mistake and retraction.

I should have read farther up.

But RSR could have saved me the trouble if he had Quoted Man@Lunch correctly.
