Terrorist Holds Congress Hostage and Demands Legislation

[delldude]

Yes, W will be causing the death of more troops long after he is out of office. Unfortunately there is probably very little that can be done to change that out come.

Last I saw,some other president had more killed under his administration and wasn't even engaged in war.Don't want to mention any names...

The total military dead in the Iraq war between 2003 and this month stands at about 3,133. This is tragic, as are all deaths due to war, and we are facing a cowardly enemy unlike any other in our past that hides behind innocent citizens. Each death is blazoned in the headlines of newspapers and Internet sites. What is never compared is the number of military deaths during the Clinton administration: 1,245 in 1993; 1,109 in 1994; 1,055 in 1995; 1,008 in 1996. That's 4,417 deaths in peacetime but, of course, who's counting?

BTW, given how he has screwed up everything he has touched

Those figures ignore the deaths of American military personnel in situations other than hostile action (accident, illness, etc.) during the Bush years, even though non-hostile deaths accounted for nearly all the deaths cited for the Clinton years. Military deaths have increased year-over-year since Bush first took office in 2001 and more dramatically so since the beginning of the Iraq war.

So during Pinocchio's term (nearly all military deaths were attributed to, accident, illness, etc.)?

He coerced Congress into giving up its power to declare war and passing it onto the Executive branch...allowing a wreckless invasion of an innocent country. Where have you been for the past 7 years?!

You must take us for a bunch of Ch.12. This country and any country under Islam advocates the subjugation or destruction of anyone who does not convert to Islam. We should have nuked this ****country just like we should nuke Iran and end all this **** bull. h34r:

Bravo! Lovely post...sure it took a big dictionary to find the eloquent language you used.

So we enter under the false pretense of "WMDs" are hidden in every corner of the country but you now come out with the breakthrough report that this was a war on Islam? Wow! The Crusades are back. I do have to hand it to you, though...you are much more overt in your explanation of the real reasons behind this "war" than our cowardly leader has been.

Enjoy the pastures. I have a feeling that you're about to be grazing.

Regarding your nuke 'em policy, which of these countries should we start and end with?

We're spread pretty thin now John Henry. Instead of spewing some diatribe, how about a real answer to a real question?

Drop a nuke? If your goal is to destroy this country (along with the rest of the world) financially there are easier ways of getting that done with far less loss of life.

Do you honestly think the US could drop a nuke in 2007 and not have repercussions?

First, I apologize to the moderator for my use of profanity. "Nuke" is just a metaphor; in reality we (non-Islam) peoples have got to put in perspective just what we are dealing with and put an end to an Islamic invasion. Europeans are facing this reality right now and we as Americans are in total denial. You would think the 9/11 tragedy would have awakened Americans; but as usual after time and politics, we have already forgotten. We have forgotten what kind of people flew those airplanes into the WTC; they were not insane, they were devout muslims who believed the way to paradise would be accomplished by KILLING an infidel. Right now the Middle East oil barons are enjoying a world of luxury and laughing at the stupid infidels trying to democratize an Islamic nation. The non-Islamic nations have to get their acts together and totally conquer the Middle East; guarantee the world will be at peace thereafter.

As I recall, 9 of the terrorist on the plane were Saudi and none were from Iraq. The US was all on board when W went after Afghanistan which is where the ring leader OBL (You remember him right, he is the guy that W is no longer worried about). Iraq never had any link to what happened on September 11, 2001. What you fail to realize is that not everyone can be lead around by the nose like you can. Some peopel are starting to realize that the people who were behind September 11, 2001 are still out there and they are not in Iraq. They are in Afghanistan and possibly Saudi Arabia. What the people are starting to realize is that the war in Iraq was and is a waste of US lives and has done nothing to make the US or the rest of the world safer. What people are starting to realize is that this is about money and power. Were it not about money and power, our troops would have been in Saudi Arabia where there were links to OBL. What people are starting to realize is that the instigated of this war were incompetent, bumbling fools who had no idea what they were doing. What people are starting to realize is that the reasons Cheney gave in 1994 for not invading Iraq still hold true today because he predicted to a 't' exactly what is happening in Iraq. What people are realizing is that people such as yourself who advocate the use of nuclear weapons are detached from reality. Come November 2008, the republican party will become aware of exactly what the American people realize.

Conquer the ME? Yea, that's a plan that has a future. Good grief.
