Default Iraq Civil War

I haven't seen much news coming out lately, other than the silent memoriums to our brave soldiers.
I don't know what "victory" will look like. If you do, say so, and how to get there.
Paris Hilton, T Owens and Bill Clinton seem to be more important for the media to report on.
Anyway, this might be of interest...

I grew better looking pole beans in my garden this summer.
And they didn't blow a .8...and seemed quite a bit smarter.

I guess I'm in the minority but I like Paris...when you are born filthy rich and beautiful, it's not your fault! I think considering her environment that she is a decent person...I'm not qualified to judge her intellect but while some of her decisions have been lacking judgement, she stands up and takes the blows! (no pun intended). I saw parts of her infamous sex video...she was a kid with her boy friend, if someone should be held up for public scorn, it should be the slimeball who gave it to the media. Here again, we had no business in her private life...and no right to judge her based on that invasion!

Hey, DTS, I want you to listen to this. Now, it is a Republican website. They talk derogatory toward everyone who differs in opinion with them like they are stupid for thinking like that. I see a problem with this. I also see a problem with them putting the biggest lunatic that they interview on this talk show first. Of course they would do that...

We have every right to be suspicious of the circumstances. I mean, it's not like they haven't and don't continue to lie to us. Of course they would never do that...

I was going to listen but then I realized I can't get that 37 minutes of my life back. Both parties spin it how they want it...that's politics, unfortunately.

Not sure what this obsession with gas being lower, I mean when was the last time gas prices didn't rise at Memorial Day and drop around Labor Day?

It's not just that. They are also saying how our economy is sooo great. LIE.

Well, the gas prices would have gone down anyway. Bush said that he was going to pull out the oil reserves right now if the price of oil didn't go down anyway....That was no doubt due to a political agenda. Gas prices will go back up after the elections because of the holiday season, and it is very possible that the government/oil companies are controlling the prices. I wouldn't put it past them.

Minimize it and listen to it while you are doing other things on the computer. I'm still listening to it right now.

Krose,
I'd have to register to hear it...and don't want them to have my e-mail.
If you could digest it, thanks.
I've heard more than plenty of insults for not "buying the war".
Heck, I'm one of the few that didn't put an American flag on my truck's antennae, and yellow or red, white and blue magnetic emblems on it.
Then I heard that I was "unpatriotic".
It goes with the talk-speak..."You're either with us or you're against us."
Echoed by Rummy, (I paraphrase), if you are opposed to the war in Iraq, you are similar to Chamberlain, a nazi sympathizer.

And all the while, I was under the delusion that the Bill of Rights allowed for free speech.
I've learned my lesson. Next time I go to a used car lot, I'm going to buy the first clunker that the "salesman" offers.
Sell those clunkers! Resistant buyers are stupid...or "unpatriotic".

I don't like that black and white kind of thinking. It doesn't have to be like that. A lot of times, you can have things both ways.

That dude that made the argument in that video couldn't argue worth a crap. He made me more of a believer in my views, which are obviously not the same as his, because he presented the arguments very weakly. However, some of the things he did say were true.

Oh yeah, I'm against the war so I'm a Nazi sympathizer. Yeah, that's exactly what I am I'm worse than Ann Coulter!!! RITFLMAO...

As you can tell, I don't like that woman. I feel that it is my duty to somehow get her fired or take her down (from her job) or outsmart/outdebate her (which I think that I can). I hope I get the chance one day, because I will surely take it. People like her should not be allowed to publish their material. It makes the whole country look bad.

I don't know if you read the link at the top. This stuff is from the 2nd commanding general on the ground in Iraq.
And why aren't the major news outlets putting it out?
Your guess is as good as mine.
If you watch Fox, CNN, MSNBC or any others, keep a score card and make note of ANY coverage coming out of Iraq.
The lack of coverage speaks volumes with its silence.
Hey, elections are coming.
We have other things to pay attention to, like Paris Hilton, school lockdowns, and an allergic reaction to meds by a football guy.
That's important "stuff".

Actually, I've read in a few articles that Iraq IS in a full civil war. You are right though, not very much info is coming out. You have to look carefully to find the info...

It's ALL about the elections...

Unfortunately, it IS all about the elections.
Speculation is out as to what Rove's "October Surprise" is going to be.
Will it be anthrax, a foiled "terror attack", or something to do with Iran?
There might be something coming soon, do you want to guess what the "distracton" is going to be this time around?
I don't know what it will be. Your guess is as good as mine.
Just as long as Iraq escapes the memory of the voters, at least, until AFTER the elections.

KyRose,
I'll leave this thread for others to debate.
But I'll leave with the words of a poem written by a young woman, at the end of WWI. Her name is Wilfred Owens.
These are the concluding words from her poem, "Dulce et Decourum Est"


"If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori."

Peace to you, sister.
Truth to you brothers that see.
Wisdom to all that see the insanity.
Let those that have ears, hear.
