powell tells it like it is

Quote from hapaboy:


LOL! You are totally and utterly predictable!

I hate to knock you off your teetering little horse, but I added that question about southern France at the end fully aware of the absurd entries in your profile. Why? Two reasons: 1) If by some minute chance you did live there, it could explain, to some extent, the nonsense you spew regarding the French/German position. That you do not and have in fact never even traveled beyond American soil only makes you more pathetic. 2) If you did NOT live there, I wanted to confirm that you would reply in the moronic manner that you in fact did - lengthy, self-congratulating, and entirely without substance. Thank you for proving me right.

What is not surprising in the slightest is that you have yet to address my comments in response to your posts that defended Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, N. Korea's invasion of the South, and ridiculed every soldier that was promoted during the Vietnam War solely on the basis that you disagree with that war.

So, my fine young gentleman with a penchant for horrific spelling (really, it makes your posts that much more painful to try and comprehend), please try and make more substantive arguments that go beyond Inspector Clouseau-ish speculation.

I am sorry for the spelling mistakes. I am blind in one eye, and have but 20-70 vision in the other. But your vision must be worse, as I never defended Iraq's invasion of it's neighbor, nor North Korea's invasion of the south.

Nor do I recall sympathizing with the French or German stance - in fact I have avoided it entirely.

I am not sure what makes me pathetic for not having traveled abroad, but at least I have a lot of company.

And would you kindly point out where I ridiculed every soldier who ever served in Nam? You see, I lost nearly 60,00 of the kids I grew up with there, and I take it kind of serious like - you know what I mean?

And do you think that you could go over that part about how you knocked me off my horse? while your sbelling may be better than mine, you express yourself rather poorly - perhaps it is your zeal to insult and deal in name calling, rather than truth and facts.

And their eyes are, I hazard a guess, fully functional, but they refuse to open em... keep up the great comments, Tampa...

You must forgive the many of us who foolishly thought they had entered into a conversation with not only a rational individual, but an individual who could at the very least spell beyond a 5th-grade level. I mean, a few typos here and there are understandable, but when you mock the educational level of those debating against you, you should be somewhat educated yourself.




Tampa has this fetish equating "decent" with "dissent." This makes him the most decent person on ET.
Is it surprising he can't even spell it?
You can say that again!

It's true that I am a poor speller, but the real problem is that I have rather poor vision, and the font on the spell checker is very hard for me to see - so sometimes I select the wrong word. Does that explain it>

However you clearly got the message I was trying to communicate - and you apparently were unable to address any of my points, but rather spent time and effort trying to mock and ridicule me.

I of course am a human being with feelings. I am also a fellow American doing nothing more than expressing his feelings. Since you hold me. and apparently others in such low regard, and go out of your way to inflict hurt and humiliation, it's not surprising that you have so little concern for the people of Iraq, and I guess anyone else.

Frankly you should be ashamed of the above post, but I suspect that you are not. I further suspect that you will attempt to mock, ridicule, and insult me further in a subsequent post - it's much easier then addressing the issues I have raised.

I don't know what a PROTUSION is, but im sure somebody as quick witted as you will have an answer....on a side note, if you are going to brag about your brain, make sure you use the proper words and spelling first...nice attempt at humor though...I applaud the 4th grade level remark, but really, leave the humor up to professionals son.

Hey tampa , lighten up a little...I mean, heck even I defended you but now your kind of acting like your one of "Jerry's Kids"...So your blind in one eye....ok, sorry to hear it but c-mon, he was being petty that's all but don't take it overboard here with the hurt feelings .

Why don't you learn to be a little more sensitive... in particular to the plight of the tens of thousands of Iraqis that the USA is on the verge of murdering...

Any future retributory September 11s against the USA will be small fry compared to the crime that the USA is gonna commit...

Ok Candle 10s of thousands - not bloody likely.


I think some Iraqi's will win the DARWIN AWARD.

Most Iraqi's are smart enough to run from their Armored Vehicles into the desert when the front and back of their column blows up.

Kuwait - Re: Highway of Death

Death Toll about 200.

So when the A-10s roll in on Target, they typically blast the front and rear of a column and then let the others run and escape before taking care of the rest of the stranded vehicles.

Micro Wave Weapons will fry everything so it won't work.

They (the Iraqi Army) will be reduced to bayonet charges.

Okay, here they are:

Quote from tampa:

For all of you folks damning France for doing business with Iraq, I would remind you that US firms do a lot of business themselves - legally, through off-shore companies set up for that purpose. In fact one of our chief war hawks did that very thing when he ran an oil services firm - you can find him residing in the Vice President's house, and you will also find that the company he set up is still in operation. So maybe you had better find another excuse for why France is in opposition.....

And one more thing - you mentioned your service in a war where the government lied to Congress to get the authorization to fight it, and lied every single day we were there as to how well we were doing - even down to grossly exaggerating so-called body counts. The lies were told by Democratic and Republican administrations. In fact if I am not mistaken, the third member of your war dream team climbed the ranks in that very same war.

North Korea did not mess with the US - we went to a lot of trouble to mess with them, and keep them from reuniting the nation divided by foreigners. The exact same story in Viet Nam - no one was messing with us. No one was messing with us in Kuwait - a "nation" by the way that the British ripped off from Iraq as the exited the Middle East where there meddling caused many of the problems we face today.

Perhaps it is your zeal to insult and deal in name calling, rather than truth and facts. [/B]

Give me a break. Your posts are chock full of ridiculing others. Please don't play the innocent here. Your posts drip with as much sarcasm as anyone's. Heck, you mock those of us who support our President, telling us to enlist, even those of us who are veterans. Well my friend, last time I checked you don't need 20/20 vision in either eye to be a human shield down in Baghdad...As far as the truth and facts, you obviously dismiss them as casually as Chirac and Schroeder, preferring to believe them rather than your own government.

If you are indeed blind in one eye, I feel sorry for you. But I don't know whether or not to take you seriously given what you entered in your profile....However, since we're talking about being offensive here, what is truly offensive to me is that you, Candle, and other wishniks spew about the thousands of innocents in Iraq that are endangered by a US invasion, yet your sympathy does not extend to the thousands of your fellow citizens who face another attack but in the form of WMD.

So yeah, I get upset when I read views like yours that are more than willing to give lunatic dictators and terrorists the benefit of the doubt over the safety of fellow Americans. That you consider their welfare secondary to that of foreigners is utterly contemptible.

Sorry I hurt your feelings.
