Analysis: Iraq is no Vietnam

[DeadPoolX 9]

I do see where Charles is going with this though. The usage of the word "crackers" was ambigious at best in that sentence. It didn't really suggest British or American slang -- it seemed to be open to intrepretation.

Well, at least we don't have to wonder anymore why you say what you say. All 16 US Intelligence services agree that the war in Iraq has nothing but increased the terrorist threat against the US and has left this nation worse off from a security point of view, But your idiotic, extremist right wing blogger knows better. Sure. We should just abolish the intelligence services altogether and put Rush Limbaugh and this fool of a blogger in charge of the safety and security of this nation. These idiots are so fcuking full of themselves. And some fools actually value this sort of brain-dead ####### more than the expertise of those that actually know what they're talking about.

I don't see you disputing anything that was posted there, only more of the same moronic insults. The dems wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the a$$. Please dispute the things I posted there-without lying about it.

You really do have trouble reading, don't you? The bolded part directly refutes the bloggers #5. And it ain't me lying about it, it's the unanimous assessment of all 16 US intelligence services.

Hence I clarified it by saying that "Crackers" has a different meaning in the UK. Noone else seems to have a problem with that - only Charles, because he's too stubborn to admit he has no argument.

You beat me to it

How much mileage can Charles squeeze out of this...?

His argument seems to be up $hit creek without a paddle

I'm glad you quoted the "offending" post - of course if you read that far back you might have read my response where I clarified what I mean't. But don't let that stop you turn it into something it isn't.

your ears burning cause you got caught using a racial term? keep paddling erekose, eventually you'll reach land. you who is so politically correct with terms

it's racialist in the usa, erekose, live with it. if you doubt such, go down south and use that term and see how quick you need dental care

and you're smart enough to know what both terms mean. you had a ready explanation in case someone called you on it, which i did. it's obvious you were getting a dig in at marc and was hoping no one would notice

Oh, don't feed the fire. Let it die.

Grow up Charles - its amazing how desperate you seem to be to get something on me

Bush would love to have someone like you working for his administration - how to make "nothing" into "something"

A first for me. I am quite proud

Let's hope Kaydee comes back so he can accuse me of single-handedly disrupting HIS thread. Because Charles totally hasn't hijacked it to have a cheap dig at me....

These two are like Borat and Azamat

The main similarity is that Iraq, like Vietnam, was a fundamentally bad idea.

While you may be correct in that statement, and I might even agree with it, its validity lies in the wisdom of hind-sight. At the start of Vietnam, the whole domino-theory and spread of communism seemed like a logical reason to go into that country. Just like to stop the spread of terrorism and rid a fanatic of WMD seemed like a good idea at the time at the start of Iraq.

On Iraq - it wasn't hind-sight for me. I was never convinced.
