Gates: 'A few years' of combat in Afghanistan

[bhajishah 4]

Aghanistan is a wash and always has been, just like Iraq. It was a war of revenge. however Bush and etc.. did not know who or where or what the enemy was. goes to show. revenge is best served on a cold plate. leaved the goat ranchers and etc.. peoples alone . Duh

They like the word progressive cuz it sounds so cool!

Makes them sound smart too.... PROGRESSIVE!!

PROGRESSIVE = EXTREMELY LIBERAL but they like the term.... ooops, "stupid" label.

The problem comes from spending mass quantities of money on college and then thinking they have all the answers. Whats funny is, is they get out thinkin they are all smart and shite and the realization hits that they really dont know shite.

...as opposed to those who never went to college and thinkin they are all smart and shite and the realization never hits that they dont know shite?

Your an excellent example

Did you mean to say "you're" an excellent example? You know...the contraction for "you are."

[Tahoma 2,292]

Where are the anti-war liberals? That's easy.

They are busy out there with everyone else who follows the "poop and scoop" laws.

good to see that liberal arts degree is doing them a lot of good in the employment sector.

There is a lot of Bush poop to scoop!

I'm busy with a job and a life, so I missed a few pages here, and I can't respond to all of my fans this time, so once again i'll have to do a driveby shooting.

Moderates are people who are too weak to take a stand on anything, or are too afraid to tell people what they really think.

Also once again, the RIGHT WINGERS in this thread have allowed the LEFTISTS to dictate the direction of the argument to Bush, and polls. This is completely ignorant. It also proves that they are completely wrong on the actual issue at hand, because they divert the argument to Bush and polls no matter what you're talking about. You could be debating healthcare, wars, or even the mating habits of Alaskan Moose, and they'd still bring up Bush and polls.

I won't be admitting I was wrong, because I wasn't wrong. The issue was not that the 70% was wrong, it was that no one demands references for "stats" that they agree with. Only those they don't agree with. I also never once said your numbers were wrong, I said your source is faulty. But LEFTISTS twist everything anyone says so that they can waste everyone's time in endless and pointless debate about BS. Unfortunately I only have time for drive-by shootings.

You're amazing. You call anyone who disagrees with you a liberal or leftist & when they say they have moderate views you call them weak. As for being afraid to tell people what they think ask anyone on VJ & although at least half disagree with me I doubt any of them would say I am afraid to share my opinions. As for my stats you called them "BS"... that's actually worse than calling them wrong. When I produced the stats you claimed they were leftist propaganda (which is pretty ridiculous, as the New York Times is a reputable source and Rasmussen actually leans to the right).

I have asked you repeatedly to back up your claims with facts and you have done nothing but repeat the same nonsense over & over. Either put up or shut up, I am tired of your nonsensical ramblings and ignorant statements.

The NYT is only reputable to leftists. That is about the extent of their readership anymore. So you saying they are reputable tells me that you are much more left than you are right.

And sorry, I won't be shutting up. You posting polls in every one of your posts is hardly "facts" and "sources".

Logic and common sense, which I have, don't need polls and sources to substantiate them. I know that polls dictate what leftists do on a daily basis. They have to look at the polls when they wake up in the morning to determine if they'll have milk or orange juice, and what opinions they'll debate about with their friends. Sorry, I don't live my life by what the NYT asked 600 people on any given day.

You are obsessed with Bush and polls, and Pike is obsessed with Rush Limbaugh. You can't talk about anything else. I'd say the scope of your intelligence and knowledge comes into question there.

Its not difficult for me at all. I am happy as a lark. My happiness is not dictated by who wins elections and who is in the majority in congress. I can't say the same for liberals. Their happiness is always dictated by who wins elections. But then, they soon revert back to their anger, and just don't know what to do with themselves. Hence, BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). I wonder if they'll still be blaming him for all their problems when 8 years of Obama have come and gone (if he's re-elected).

Dude, you don't do substance, so there isn't much to talk about. Everything from you is stereotypes or partisan talking points from talk show commentators - no wonder you get people's backs up.

What's really interesting here - is that when people address you as "you", you address them as "they".

Why is that?

What do you do Pike just cut and paste what you've already said 1000 times? You really do have a one track mind. It isn't going to work 1000 more times either. You've never refuted what I've said. Just keep saying, no substance no substance, no references no references, stereotypes stereotypes, partisan partisan.. blah blah blah..

If what I'm saying is so wrong, it should be easy for you to prove me wrong. But you can't.

So basically you have no facts of your own & after brow-beating me to back up my claims you dismiss the sources as leftist & call me obsessed. I don't say this to be funny or even sarcastic, but I think you are an extremely ignorant person... not because of your far right views but because your thought process borders on delusional. As for logic and common sense you wouldn't know either if they bit you in the butt.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Its really very simple - if you can't address people as individuals with their own opinions rather than members of some arbitrary group who ascribe to some arbitrary checklist of stereotyped beliefs, then there isn't much to talk about.

You've never refuted what I've said

Please remind me of what I'm supposed to refute.

Once again attacking the text instead of any of the issues at hand. Bravo.

What are the "issues at hand" that aren't being addressed?

Have you actually posted anything that relates directly to the topic of the OP?
