Putting someone on ignore means participating at a disadvantage, especially when the person who's being ignored likes to dominate the conversation, and whether or not I or anyone has a disruptive individual on ignore, when that individual is being disruptive, it can take over the whole chatroom...

[/b] That's pretty hilarious: You offer a blanket characterization of the Republican Party - and then you complain about blanket characterizations of the Left. As usual, you show little understanding of the topics - such as the provenance of the UN or the nature of international law -...

We agree about one thing: Arguing with someone like yourself is a complete waste of time.

Your accusations of "impropriety" are as flimsy as your previous accusations of dishonesty. As usual, you ascribe criminality or unethical behavior to ideological or policy differences. [b] Are you really so far gone that you believe "Democrats and liberals" have a monopoly on conscience...

Dude, what's so confusing to you? I thought maybe you heard something or were told something either from some ET poobah or from O777 himself. Anyway, you made a statement that looked like you were saying you knew O777 was gone ("looks like you may have gotten your wish," or whatever you said...

You're supposed to be ignoring me - at least, that's what you said (in between the usual insults) when you found my last exposure of your misstatements and distortions too hard to read.

No, I don't think he has a nuclear bomb - but you're right about shutting people up if he did. Anyway, it would at least move the uranium from Niger story off the front page. Now that Qusay and Clyde are jiggling in the freezer, and so many in the pre-war leadership are gone, you have to...

He's the last Ace, and his dreams of a dynasty are over. I confess I'm a little worried about the go-out-with-a-blaze-of-glory, made-it-Ma-top-of-the-world! option.

"Depend upon it, sir, when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully." from Boswell's Life of Johnson

More distortions, exaggerations, irrelevancies, and false witness from tatertrader and bungrider. If they subjected themselves and their favorite sources to the same skepticism they apply to their own government, they'd have nothing to say at all. The policies they preferred would have...

No - did I miss some official announcement or some statement from O777 himself?

OP-ED COLUMNIST Saddam's Guerrillas By WILLIAM SAFIRE WASHINGTON Saddam Hussein is waging "a classical guerrilla-type campaign," says Gen. John Abizaid, the new head of the U.S. Central Command, which is "getting more organized" every day. What can the deposed dictator hope to...

Sure he's gone, and not just taking a break?

Many of your statements are presumptuous, especially the last one. I'm not going to try to re-fight the whole Vietnam War for you here, but I can give you a quick summary of military differences: In Vietnam, the N. Vietnamese Army (NVA) and the S. Vietnamese Viet Cong guerillas (VC)...

As of the year 2000, approximately 12% of the US population was classified as Hispanic by the Census. According to your article, total Hispanic representation in the military is 9%. You can do the math yourself. Last I heard, African Americans were represented in the military at around double...

If they think the war was fought "over big oil money," then they do desperately need to educate themselves, though I'm not completely confident this country's colleges are the right place. On the other hand, if they didn't kind of get the idea that those guns and tanks and things weren't just...

You appear to know very little about Vietnam, but a lot about giving in. I won't bother with your rendition of the war justifications, as I've written about them at length elsewhere. Your suggestions are a recipe for disaster, the kind of disaster that this country and people all around the...

I disagree: The main objective at all times has to be the overall mission - the political objective in the broadest sense, which hinges on making Iraq a long-term success, certainly not Bush's poll numbers on any given day, and not even minimization of casualties. Obviously, if short-term...

Well, that's reasonable - but what's not reasonable is presuming that it should or can be easy or safe or fun. That's not what soldiers sign up for. If personal safety is their primary concern, there are other vocations.

Vietnam was much worse. Much worse. Inexpressibly worse. At the height of the Vietnam war, we were losing 500 soldiers - mostly draftees - every week, and killing many more Vietnamese.
