OT: How the real war is fought

It's far from trivial. Real people respect education. This country is throwing away soldiers' lives and money to build schools in other countries, and you consider this trivial?

I consider anything you present as trivial, you have no honor, you get no respect, you support Terrorism by your own admission, you don't even know how to use a Usenet client in the medium you post in, you have nothing except my contempt.

I forgot this earlier. Below are some conclusions which are supported by Condoleezza Rice's recent efforts to isolate Syria from other Arab countries. I'd like your opinion on the written material below.

The ideological threats we face today, of which al Qaeda and company are only one example, require us to do a few things we have not done in a long time: understand our world, engage the people of other nations, and win their hearts and minds by basing our action on the American values of justice and equality, not our brute force.

We must shed the morally bankrupt worldview of the neoconservatives that exploits the memory of 9/11 to further imperialistic ideals that have nothing to do with those attacks or national security. Instead, we must opt for a foreign policy that engages other nations and demonstrates an understanding that our best weapon against extremism and terrorism is that policy itself.

Maybe, but you'll keep coming back for more of this.

Considering that I have no intention of replacing Outlook Express, what adjustments do you think I should make to its settings?

Being that you support Terrorism, are anti-Military, support the killing of innocents, I don't really care what you want.

Nice to see that you don't understand Propaganda and it's damage to moral, that you still support Terrorism.

I support the killing innocents? Where did you get that from? You seem to be adding to your list.

My dad fought in the Pacific, and was aware of Tokyo Rose's broadcasts, intended to demoralize our soldiers & sailors. He says it just pissed him off more. He was a real warrior. He flew a TBF Avenger torpedo bomber, a totally friggin' crazy job if there ever was one. That's what we need more of: warriors who scoff at propaganda. Not weak minds, like yours.

You're the one suggesting that it impacts the troops in some way you didn't state.

I said it gives comfort to the enemy, I've also said that it makes them stronger, bolder, and that it's lengthened the war. While the troops don't fall for it, the sheep around the world fall for it - much like you have and now you support and spew forth.

You suggested shooting a teacher because you didn't like my spelling. What you fail to see is that I don't spell check and after being at a keyboard since around 5AM (it's almost midnight now) my fingers are tired, and I can get the message across to terrorist supporters like you without checking every word.

All the anti-war protests put together haven't encouraged the enemy nearly as much as the invasion of Iraq has. It's not the Cindy Sheehan types but GW Bush and his fellow neocon bumblers who've been the best propaganda for the enemy's cause.

I can understand opposing our involvement in Mogadishu and even Kosovo. The invasion of Afghanistan was justified and necessary. But why Iraq? Back in 2002-2003 it made less sense to invade Iraq than Syria because Syria had been supporting international terrorism while Iraq doing nothing in that arena and was well contained.

Because for 10 years we had asked Saddam nicely to play nice, to stop killing people, to stop shooting at our own people, to stop providing support for terrorism, to stop with the WMD. With the UN supporting him, the Germans, French, and Russians providing weapons against the Sanction, something had to be done to stop it and put an end to it. If all you have to work with is what you've seen/read in the MSM then you will not see why I agree with removing Saddam.

Saddam was contained, and at virtually no cost to us other than jet fuel. In addition, the DoD and companies like Raytheon said the no-fly zone represented perhaps the best testing grounds they could've imagined. We could've kept Saddam penned up for the next 50 years. Free.

Hang on there. Yesterday, you justified capitalizing the wrong words by saying you did it for emphasis. Now, you're saying it was fatigue?

Hand on, you said Spelling, now you're talking about CaPiTaLiZaTiOn - there is a difference between spelling correctly and proper capitalization.

Just another diversion from you, an admitted Terrorist supporter.

People were still being killed, terrorists were still being supported, Weapons were still being bought and shipped, "penned" for free is BS and only your terrorists supporting mantra would suggest such crap. Were you said you see your hero hanged?

Our military thought the border plan was a pretty good one. And, the weapons being shipped - we never found them in Iraq, now did we? The yellowcake (uranium) - that was another fiction.

You want to talk about weapons? Everyone pretty much knows OBL is hiding in the border region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Pakistan doesn't let us go after him, but Bush sells some of our best weapons to that country. What do you think about that?
