Does anyone still support this daft war?
|
What do you propose?
|
Certainly not marriage!
|
You have something against marriage?
|
To you? Yes!
|
Now it is I who must ask you what on earth are you talking about!
| |
| |
| |
What on earth are you talking about John?
|
Well, you obviously don’t support the war, so what would you advocate
instead? That we all go home tomorrow?
|
I would not have rushed there to start with.
|
So, you’d advocate somehow going back in time and not rushing in.
|
I’d suggest a little humility is in order.
| |
| |
| |
Or do you prefer just to sit around
and complain about things? (which is your perogative, but not very
interesting)
|
Well, given the mess people like YOU got us in,
|
The “mess” meaning liberating the Iraqis from the yoke of dictatorship?
|
...and replacing it with violent anarchy. That’s what I call progress!
| |
The
“mess” in helping the Iraqis defeat foreign terrorists who would destroy
their young democracy?
|
Hmm. I recall reading that only ~5% of the insurgents were “foreign” and the
majority of Iraqis want Bush to pack his bags.
BTW: there is much more to democracy than bombing a country and giving the
survivors a vote.
| |
You know, BTW, life is messy...
|
Do you care to move to Baghdad for a few months to put your “messy” life in some
perspective?
| |
| |
I suppose I’d start by trying
to hand over power to Iraqis.
|
Fine. That happens to be the plan.
|
To be honest, I’m not convinced that there is any sort of plan whatsoever!
| |
| |
I would NOT rig their constitution
|
Who would?
|
Clue: The same person hoped to install a convicted fraudster as leader once
Baghdad fell.
| |
| |
or setup
permanent bases in their country.
|
What’s wrong with that? Worked in Germany. Worked in Japan. Worked in
South Korea.
|
Should Iraqis not be consulted? It is a democracy after all!
| |
| |
I would NOT limit the training of the Iraqi
armed forces to light weapons.
|
Thought you didn’t like “rushing in”. In time.
|
It is not in Bush’s interests for Iraq to have a competent law enforcement
service. Think about it.
| |
| |
I WOULD show that Iraqi lives ARE worth
something by risking lives to protect them(they are human beings after
all!).
|
Possibly the most daft thing you’ve ever said. The ignorance of it is simply
staggering.
|
Iraqi lives are so worthless, we do not even count the deaths we bring about.
Instead, we bulldoze their bodies into our very own mass graves.
| |
| |
I’d STOP human rights abuses.
|
No undies on heads of prisoners. Got it.
|
I was thinking more of murder and torture.
| |
| |
I would NOT rely on support from (or
give support to) barbaric regimes.
|
Not germane.
|
To you, perhaps. But when “freedom” is based on torture and murder, questions
must be asked.
| |
| |
Oh, and I’d also put B.Liar and the man-monkey on trial for breaking
international law.
|
Your characterizations say more about you than them.
|
…and your blind support for Bush tells us a great deal about you.
| |
| |
What would you do? Carry on regardless I expect?! Afterall, if it’s not
broke, why fix it!
|
Things are getting better every day in Iraq. The Iraqis will prevail.
|
Complete poppycock! What is your source? Read
this before you tell
us: “A United Nations survey released earlier this month found that Iraqi
living standards had been plummeting with only just over half of the
population having access to safe drinking water.”
Like I said, it is people like YOU that got us in this mess. You really are a
“useful idiot”.
