Coalition Forces Have Upper Hand in Iraq

Post Reply New Topic

Awww, poor christians always getting picked on. Last time I checked Christianity is the ONLY religion that is able to market itself in society, the ONLY religion that can sells merchandise for it's holidays, and the ONLY religion that can decorate the town for it's holidays. When is the last time someone decorated the streets or even a local store for Chanuka, quanza, yule, or any holiday for a religion other than Christianity?
It doesn't happen, because religious right wing christians would whine and B**ch and protest to have it took down, yet if another religion did this to christians they'd be "evil". Sounds like a bunch of hypocracy to me. I mean, hindu's don't believe in eating beef, but do we see them picketing and protesting outside our grocery stores attacking everyone else's right to eat beef?

Where in this thread did we discuss about religion? This thread was discussing us getting the upper hand on the insurgents. If there was one single post on here where we were discussing religion, please point that out, otherwise STHU.

There are so many thing wrong with that post, I don't even want to start... So I won't.

No this thread didn't say anything about religion, but I know it's the main drive behind modern conservatism, though I don't consider their version of christianity to be christian at all. The Bible was supposed to be a message of love and compassion, not bigamy.
And I'm not surprised you didn't point out what was supposedly wrong with the post, probably either because you don't know or because you know your argument is gonna be so full of holes I can shoot it right down without an effort made.

No this thread initially had nothing directly to do with religion, but **radical** christianity is the basis of modern conservatism. The dominionist are practically the Christian American taliban.
Also, it doesn't surprise me you spoke of "how much was wrong" with my post, and blatantly refused to make any counterpoints. Probably either because you can't think of one or because you know your come back is gonna be so full of holes I'd shoot it right back down without an effort.

Must you repeat yourself? The triple post is annoying, but the fact that it said the same thing as your last post makes it worse.

I didn't try to argue you post because I don't really have time at the moment.

i'm interested to know what my ilk is.


'dem dirty libs, eh?


i'm pro gun, pro hunting, anti-peta, pro business's rights(including the right to say if they want smokers at their restaurants or not), and pro small government.

considering your two topics you've made basically phallate bush, i'm assuming you like big government.....fake conservative sheep.

I see this thread is spinning out of control. And yet it's still on topic. That topic being a lot of irrational bashing of opposing political idealogies between a lot of people that don't know what they're talking about.

On a related note, I need to go drink the blood of some babies.

HAIL SATAN!! !! !! !! !!

We should never have been over there in the first place. We made things worse for everyone.

No. We made things better. We're making things better every day.

I guess it hasn't occured to you that Saddam wasn't going to publish honest statistics about how many of his own people he killed. And I guess that the graves and execution sites they've found where Saddam killed shiites and other political prisoners don't count since they counteract your argument. I guess all the first hand testimony from soldiers who say that 80% of the Iraqis are glad to have us there and appreciate what we're doing for their country.

For that matter, I guess the fact that we've had 3 elections over there, in spite of the Terrorists attempts to disrupt them, and they've all gone succesfully, doesn't matter. I guess the fact that the Iraqi police force becomes more competant daily, carries out its own raids, and is no longer a small pack of demoralized, underequipped men hiding out in their own stations doesn't matter.

Admit it, liberals. Iraq is a success. Quit pretending that because something is "mainstream" automatically doesn't mean it's true.

I seriously think all liberals are mentally ret*d. I've never known a smart one.

I think that its never as good as the conservatives make it out to be and never as bad as the liberals claim it to be. The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

I find this is the case in most everything they debate but nobody ever wants to budge on their views

The hannibal inspired general aye. I sincerly doubt he has the same knowledge as Dayan did, the man was a genius who stands out in history. Schwarzkopf outside of the US and those with an interest in the military doesn't have nearly the same kind of flare and ingenuity.

Do I want the United states to loose? Loose what precisely? What war is being fought? This is an occupation, not a war. Conventional warfare is not taking place here and despite the mass media exajeratting everything the attrition facing US forces is due to problems caused by the poor initial moves of the ground forces in Iraq once the Repulbican Guard disintegrated and faded into the general population. The kind of day to day combat operations seen in vietnam is not happening, its an occupation not a war there is no north vs south. There is sectarian violence akin to places such as Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia etc

I can see from the way you post that you have very little knowledge of military matters and while I am mearly a glorified armchair general in terms of my interest in military history I would advice you take a more objective view of the situation and not be so trigger happy with your pseudo-political labels dismissing the opinion of individuals. There are individuals who operate on this forum each with their own unique take on the world around us and your crude generalisation while quite amusing and stereotypical is completly childish and unneccesary. Last time I checked this board was mostly populated by adults. Try acting like one it helps
