"I'd like to know when the freakin' Iraqis elected to govern are gonna show up for work. That alone is enough to make me rethink my support for this war." Agreement of Whip and I. Write it into the history books! "We need to quit raising pit bulls (wink to dan) and then acting all surpised when they turn around to bite us in the ass." Very cute, did you bake that yourself?

I am unaware of the vandalism event you describe nor can I find any record of it happening. Please show me a site if you will. I further believe that your description of the hunting incident is lacking a few key factors. First that the man in question was trespassing, second that he shot and killed several members of the hunting party, fled the scene, and changed his story a few times. "Don't condemn southerners for what you view as racism, when it is just as pervasive, just a

"Iraq is a failure because you wanna believe it is. " Iraq's post war is a failure because hundreds of thousands are dead because of our actions, millions are refugees, the surrounding nations are sending in foreign fighters, we don't have the forces to fight this war, and because we have no option but stay in or cut our losses and "hope" Iraq can make it on it's own. That is a complete and total failure of the goals of the post war. The violence is only escalating, not levelin

"Now the US is being blamed for having the nerve to enforce the terms of the ceasefire. " That's not accurate at all. The US was blamed because nobody wanted to rush to war except the US. Bush thought because of the intel they "sexed up" to make it look like Saddam was rebuilding a WMD program, to hand over to the terrorists lol, we needed immediate action and we needed it now. The UN said no, so we went and unilaterally re-invaded. Sure there were a few nations helping, the B

Again still waiting for a specific example of your experiences. Why don't you provide some examples of open persecution of Hmongs? Gid you seem to think I stated that Wisconsin isn't a racist state. I didn't say that, but it is no more or less racist than anyplace else. I tend to believe that people are given a pretty fair shake here because we don't have a lot of race issues, being pre-dominantly white. What do you want me to do about it? Your perspective is different than mi

"You want facts? Here's one. Leaving Iraq will do more harm than good." Why? Prove that or at least explain it. "they simply need to make Iraq look like a failure and that is exactly what they are doing." What the hell are you talking about Iraq is a failure. There are tens of thousands of civilians dead since the occupation began, spiraling violence, overextended troop commitments, lack of exit strategy, Iraqi politicians actively criticizing American politicians, I m

Yea, I'm glad you don't feel the need because I really don't either anymore. Still there is little question that you do stereotype, prejudge people, and use race to amplify your argument.

Well I got some great news for you Daniel, nobody in politics in America is gonna embrace your idea, because in order for the Democrats to compete with Republicans, they need to spend more, and when the next election comes, in order for the Republicans to compete with Democrats, they have to spend more, and re-read the first part of the sentence to get what happens after that latest election.

I was trying to edit the page but it must be locked. I think maybe cause you posted Jythier.

"It's very easy to consider yourself 100% NON-racist when you live in an upscale, lily-white suburb of a predominantly WHITE state, Dan." I consider myself non-racist because I am non-racist. I don't live in an upscale area. I live in a nice area now but I used to live in a not so nice area, instead of living next to a railroad line, I live on a busy street, instead of hearing an ambulance at the odd time of day, I hear firetrucks even more frequently.

"Then how come there was so much support for us in Desert Storm... even when many of us WERE in Iraq... preparing to carry out orders to go through Baghdad?" The UN mandate was to remove Iraq from Kuwait, in doing so, the military plans were tailored to the goals set forth by the civilian leadership. The version of the master plan that was chosen was to remove the Iraqi army from Kuwait and reduce Saddam's military force to a level unable to launch another invasion. Had Saddam

This was the content of your entire statement to that point in this thread Charles. "You're wasting your time daniel. Col is the king of contradictions and he now has a side-kick. Dan probably thinks that 2 heads are better than 1 but that's only true if both heads have a brain." If that's all you got to add fine, but you don't need to criticize what I have to say, irregardless of what the Col thinks.

"And before you try to pretend Appleton ain't racist by nature: I LIVED in Oshkosh for 12 years, Danny Boy. Plenty of racism in Wisconsin to go around." I think I was a little too forgiving of your commentary here Gid. In your 12 years of living in Wisconsin, you can take the time here on JU, to smear the Great state of Wisconsin, motto "Forward" and not provide a SINGLE EXAMPLE of the racism you experienced living in Oshkosh.

Can we agree, moving forward, to stop mixing personal attacks with the points we wanna make on here. I know it would take away some of the drama, but there is TNT for that. Seriously Whip, it doesn't make you anymore convincing when you call someone or their point "weak and whiny". Also the racial slurs on here, by Moderateman, isn't that against the Terms of Use or did I miss a section that skipped racial slurs? I'm not against people debating or discussing, just t

Obviously they haven't gotten Bin Ladin, and even if they had it didn't prevent 9/11. I'm not sure I can even reason or debate with you as your position doesn't make any sense at all.

The job back then was UN sponsored and mandated, remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Not regime change and occupation. You can clearly see why regime change wasn't favored at that time, because it would have involved a messy occupation. There would have been no coalition if the goal was regime change and removal of Saddam. Just like there was hardly a commitment by the majority of the world for this incursion into Iraq, certainly there may have been some support, but as Colin Powell put i

"The English on the other hand, aside from aerial bombardment were largely like the United States in that there was not a battlefield like there was in France." My simple point, not to start world war 3 here Whip, is that on France, in both world wars, the battlefield was fought "inside" that country, on the land. The "Battle of Britain" was largely aerial. Even though the Axis did a hell of a job with the terror tactics of firebombing cities. There was no land invasion of the UK during
