Sorry, lad. A referendum will always be most legitimate. Unilateral decisions by heads of states will always be the least legitimate in my book.
I need to pin you down on this. I sense that any single American advisor would be used by you to justify not apologizing for your imperialist comments.
Give me a number and a sense of what you consider leaving Iraq.
I’d consider you left Iraq when there’s no military personnel on their soil. Up to a hundred to ensure the protection of diplomats is OK.
What do you consider “leaving Iraq”?
Then I can ask you directly at a future date to rescind your earlier crap.
I’ll be happy to. But if I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath. You’re obviously not leaving anytime soon.
Yes, blame it on the terrorists. Second, plenty of people were dying in Iraq in shredders, being raped, and dying of hunger. Iraq was CERTAINLY not peaceful nor benign prior to the invasion.
Relatively, it certainly was peaceful prior to the invasion.
There are really no words to describe the current mess.
What would you say is a better cause to die for: uday’s lust or for a Democratic Iraq?
Uday? Sorry, not familiar with that. Please explain.
But something tells me that you’re trying to compare the US military to Al-Qaeda, and say “look, they’re a lot worse!”. If you don’t see what is wrong with that, I’m certainly not gonna point it out for you.
You and your sweaty little pals should shout in the streets against the next guy who is beheaded. Then we can talk.
Again, if the best you can do is compare yourselves to Al-Qaeda or some whackee group of criminals, don’t expect me to point out the ridicule of that. I should bite you in the face…eventually.
Otherwise, we know the slogans. It had little to nothing to do with Iraq and everything to do with penis envy.
Oh! So, the whole world is jealous?
Gotta wonder why Americans joined the protests…
Will you pledge to give equal air time to positive actions in Iraq?
Air time of what? I don’t run any station.
You obviously cannot fathom my analogy. I’ll flesh it out: Adults must leave the nest. At some point their mistakes become their own.
Oh, I do. It’s just a matter of how far back you’re willing to go. Comparing Iraq four years after the invasion to the US a couple of centuries after the independence is ludicrous. I just pointed that out.
Point four: lixy will never support any military action against any predominately Muslim nation no matter what the provocation.
The iranian government is directly involved in killing American troops.
And that’s happening on US soil?
No.
Patently false. Again, if it’s Muslim, you are conveniently blind to it’s faults.
That is nothing but blatant slander. How can you throw such accusation without proof?
You can accuse me of being anti-capitalist, anti-empirialist, anti-interventionist, and I’ll be Ok with it, because it’ll be true. But to say that I am somehow biased towards Muslims is nothing but a lie.
The only Muslim I’m biased towards is the prophet Muhammed.
How can you expect me to still grant you good faith, when you insist on pissing me off with such baseless accusations?
I’ll be expecting apologies.[/quote]
Are you fucking kidding me, If a muslim country does something you give them a pass. Hell you give Iran a pass for attacking our troops.(do you also give OBL a pass?)
