Phillipines pulls out

This country has announced its withdrawal from Iraq. The Poles, whose official commitment expires in a few weeks and have not given any indication of renewal, are probably next. We castigated the Turks for not joining us, we belittled the French, cut them and the Germans and the Russians out of rebuilding contracts for refusing to join us, and here we created an entire thread to bash the Spanish. I honor that tradition here by asking anyone if they know of any Filipino food we can ridicule.



I also wish to announce America's newest greatest ally in the world next to the British, the feared and powerful state of Bulgaria! In this amazing photograph, the entire Bulgarian contigent in Iraq was captured in one great panaoramic sweep! The majesty!

If you feel so strong about this war, stop by your nearest military recruiter and go to Iraq. Let's not start bashing other ethnic groups because of the decision of their leaders.

Although I don't agree with the decision of the Philippines to pull out thier troops, I respect it. Just like Bush's decision to go to War. I don't agree with it, but now that we are at war I respect it and fully support our troops.

This post is stupid. There is already enough "hate" in the world....why add to it?! Go ahead and flame my post...doing so will just further support my point.

I feel strongly enough about it to protest it loudly, to clearly express my opinion on what a miserable waste of human life that it is, in the hopes of being some small help in stopping this war crime. If it looks like hate to you, you really should explain whats hateful about it. If it bothers you, I am glad, because it was meant to.

As far as me going to Iraq, that doesn't make much sense seeing that my position is we should get out of there now. I have five children, and no matter what you say, that gives me a pretty good stake in this war. In your support of our troops in this mistaken adventure, you say you don't agree with it, but its ok with you that more of them die even if the war was a mistake. Some support. No matter what you might say about me, you seem to be the one who is morally confused. How many more need to die because of a mistake? How can anyone possibly support that as a reason for more of our people to die? Because we f**ked up? Go tell that to the mother who loses her kid tomorrow.

I looked over my posts I am certainly not bashing any ethnic group. The whole point of the parody of the Bulgarian armed forces is to illustrate what a sorry-assed job Bush did in building his "coalition", a sham if there ever was one.

Yeah - like all our "allies" in our "coalition" the only thing they really bring is a country name the admisatration can use as propaganda when they claim "international support". But they did, however, send us this important field artillery unit, which will be sorely missed:

I just hope they leave their U.S. financed equipment there when they leave. Thirty traffic whistles and sixty white gloves can add up to some big money!! I, as a taxpayer won't stand for it!!!

Kirk your post is full of contradictions:

Your first post – You talk “smack” about the Poles, Turks, French, Germans, Russians, Spanish, Filipinos and their positions against the war

Your second post – You make a “Freedom Fish Paste” comment and post an “anti-American” cartoon

Your third post – Most laughable and contradictory…

Quote: “I feel strongly enough about it to protest it loudly, to clearly express my opinion on what a miserable waste of human life that it is, in the hopes of being some small help in stopping this war crime. If it looks like hate to you, you really should explain whats hateful about it. If it bothers you, I am glad, because it was meant to.”

YOUR OPINION IS THAT THE WAR IS A “MISERABLE WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE”, YET IN YOUR INITIAL POST YOU TALK **** ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES FOR NOT WANTING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WAR.

“As far as me going to Iraq, that doesn't make much sense seeing that my position is we should get out of there now. I have five children, and no matter what you say, that gives me a pretty good stake in this war. “

COUNTRY LEADERS HAVE HUNDREDS OF LIVES AT STAKE IN IRAQ AS OPPOSED TO YOUR 5 CHILDREN SAFELY IN THE USA. YOU FEEL WE SHOULD “GET OUT OF THERE NOW” SO WHY ARE YOU ANGRY AT OTHER COUNTRIES WHO WANT TO GET OUT?

In your support of our troops in this mistaken adventure, you say you don't agree with it, but its ok with you that more of them die even if the war was a mistake. Some support. No matter what you might say about me, you seem to be the one who is morally confused. How many more need to die because of a mistake? How can anyone possibly support that as a reason for more of our people to die? Because we f**ked up?”

AS I SAID IN MY ORGINAL POST I DON’T AGREE WITH US BEING AT WAR. I DIDN’T SAY IT’S OK IF ONE OF THE SOLDIERS DIE…LIKE IT OR NOT OUR TROOPS ARE IN IRAQ. UNTIL THE PRESIDENT DECIDES TO PULL OUT, I WILL SUPPORT OUR TROOPS BY SENDING FOOD, CLOTHES, EQUIPMENT, OR WHATEVER OUR TROOPS NEED TO STAY ALIVE AND KEEP THEIR SANITY. WHAT’S THE OTHER OPTION?...COMPLAIN AND NOT SEND ANY SUPPORT TO OUR TROOPS. NOW HOW DOES THAT MAKE ME “MORALLY CONFUSED”?

“Go tell that to the mother who loses her kid tomorrow”

I AM CURRENTLY A MAJOR IN THE AIR FORCE AND ANY SOLDIER WHO APPLES FOR A JOB IN MILITARY KNOWS THE RISK. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE THOSE RISK, DON’T ENLIST. IT’S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. UNLESS THE SOLDIER WAS DRAFTED AGAINST HIS/HER WILL YOUR ARGUMENT HERE IS WEAK. POLICE OFFICERS USE THE SAME WEAK ARGUMENT…..IF YOU DON’T LIKE RISK, THEN FIND AN OCCUPATION THAT’S “SAFE”.

“I looked over my posts I am certainly not bashing any ethnic group.”

TAKEN FROM YOUR VERY FIRST POST: “I honor that tradition here by asking anyone if they know of any Filipino food we can ridicule.”


As I’ve said before….This post/thread is stupid.
