I understand perfectly clear. No matter what you call it they have killed one civilian for every 1000 we have killed. Name it what you will buddy....
Go tell the families of those thousands that they are merely "collateral damage", oh and whilst youre at it then be so kind as to explain to them why they are "collateral damage" when we cut them down but yet they would be "genocide" if Saddam had killed them. Typical hypocritical warmongering sheep.
Let me lay it out for you. We fought a sterile campaign so as to preserve lives of civillians. It cost us 1000+ soldiers. The civillians had ample chances to leave the strike zones. They did not take them. I grieve for their lost lives, but such is war. Do not equate collateral damage with hostage-taking.
Do remember then to abandon your own property and dont dare fight like the patriot you undoubtedly would claim you are when its your city, town, or very neighborhood being occupied by foreign troops calling any who take up arms to defend their land "terrorists". Oh of course, its only patriotism when its OUR soil under threat!
If you take up arms in defense against an invading army, you are automatically an enemy combatant. Guerilla warfare is a legitimate tactic. It's the acceptable methods of the said warfare that distinguish a guerilla warrior from a terrorist.
I think Licks favorite word is Warmonger/Warmongering. Lick you need to mix it up a bit, throw hatemonger/murderer in their every now and then. Your repetative lingo is boring.
How is what we did not terrorism? We invaded their country, preemptively. I think there will be a draft, but I'm not going. Drafts are unconsitutional, and if I can't dodge it, I'd rather go to jail then kill people who aren't invading us and aren't threatening our country.
Oh yeah, Bush is going to reinstate the draft, you can bet your ass....but don't try to pull off that "Kerry wouldn't have" bullshit, the elites that control both parties will reinstate it either way. Peace and Love, Dan PS: Good for you Lucifer Sam, realizing state sponsored terror...
I am glad your methods of war are so freakin 'humane.' Beheading has been long held as a noble and honorable way to have your life taken from you. Yes, yes go on I know these are civilians... like the 16,000 'collaterals' you so easily throw aside. They are not torturing. They are executing. They are not stripping them naked and pilling them on top of each other and making them touch each other and sending pictures home to mom. They are using an effective (it is working) means of scaring people into alientating themselves from Bush's personal conflict. Would kidnapping a soldier work? No. Our governemnt is trained and ready to let a thousand soldiers be executed. Is this tactic working? Yes. Will it continue? Yes. Is it right? No. Is being in Iraq for oil right? No. Tough world. Go cry on someone elses shoulder.
If we are fighting for our so called freedom, then how are we free if we are told when to fight or not. The system fucking sucks. Stand up against all rules, do whatever you want whenever you want without harming others. Peace&Love
Tough shit andrew, if you don't like the lingo and continue to demonstrate your own preference for smug dismissal of the wrongs our nation continues to commit (whilst selling it all to the gullible sheep like yourself using - brace yourself - repetitive lingo (Terrorism Terrorism Terrorism, Al Qaeda Al Qaeda Al Qaeda, 9/11 9/11 9/11, Democracy and Freedom Democracy and Freedom..., ad naseum)), then don't bother reading it nor responding to it. Simple as. Perhaps when you've been duly shipped to Iraq and gone without any protest (believing, as youve claimed, that youre actually protecting anyone's freedom other than that of the MNCs seeking freedom to carve up Iraq for their control and profit) you might actually finally awaken to the truth behind the lie you've swallowed like so many other gullible youth, that youre nothing more than another expendable poorly paid pawn sent to kill or be killed to advance the ongoing globalist agenda. Of course, the Pentagon dresses it up using the repetitive PR terminology mentioned above because the truth would put an end to any further public support and the billions of tax dollars at stake for our major arms manufacturers. I only hope you make it back intact rather than as just another statistic upon which our corporate bought politicos can continue to sell the same lie of "those who gave their lives in defense of democracy (read: capitalist expansion)" to future gullible generations.
husband says he plans to sew his draftcard to his forearm if he is called...i do not want to see it or him to use my needles and thread
That one statement sums up all your posts and your character. You are a child full of hate here just to agitate everyone with your bullshit.
This rationalisation of terrorism is not working. When we liberated France in WW2, were French civilians killed? Yes. So does that mean we didn't really liberate France? Does that mean Moroccans should have gone to France and kidnapped and beheaded Swiss civilians aid workers, and claim they were doing it for France? Sound ridiculous? Well that's exactly the same rationalisation as what is happening in this thread. When we stopped Milosovic, were the Bosnians and Kosovars we were trying to liberate sometimes killed? Was the same not true for Afghanistan? The current bloodshed is nothing compared to what happened under Saddam. And it is nothing compared to what happened if we abandoned the country and let it sink into civil war. So stop standing up for utopia and try standing up for a real world best option.
*Yawn.......* You know nothing of the Airforce do you? Im not a pilot.. Those are the only people who do any of the "carving up." Its amazing that after all those big words, and conspiracy theorys, you still sound uninformed, and ignorant.
Im sure theres a reason, whether its for religion/financial gain/"help people" hell I will go as extreme to say its part of "the globalists agenda, to put terrorism at an all time high." A reason still is a reason...
To the demonstrable groupthink drones such as yourself andrew, im hardly surprised that my posts sound uninformed. They fail to coincide with the repeatedly reinforced paradigm of fear you and the obvious majority of the nation have bought into. You are of course free to continue deluding yourself that your present menial tasks for the airforce will guarantee you any exemption from more dangerous and dehumanising roles in Iraq (or any of the much to be expected additional arenas of combat which this unopposed cabal will now be free to open up in the furtherance of their PNAC blueprint for peak resource control), but if present rotational deficiencies continue, you might well be in for a rude awakening. So go right ahead and yawn smugly and convince yourself of the legitimacy of the military's PR about defending our "liberty", "democracy" and "way of life" from the threat of the shadowy "terrorists" (whose names are just as plausibly drawn from rosters of known political opponents to our client regimes throughout the Arab world). I chuckle content that it is I who will be saying I told you so in the years to come.
