122. Great job skirting and distorting.
I took the time to respond to you with out being insulting or rude. If you can not do the same I will not respond to you again.
Adhominem is a logical fallacy and makes a bad argument.


you stated:
But in any of the above scenarios -- as well as in any others you might come up with -- the only two things that stay consistent are the following:

1-An end to American occupation.

2-The will of the Iraqi people to do as they please with THEIR nation.

ME:
I agree. The sooner the better.

Money and oil have everything to do with the UN sanctions, under gb1 and Clinton. Oil for food and the movement of money is core here.

But in any of the above scenarios -- as well as in any others you might come up with -- the only two things that stay consistent are the following:

1-An end to American occupation.

2-The will of the Iraqi people to do as they please with THEIR nation.

I assume you are sitting behind a computer monitor in Iraq or Afghanistan rebutting my point? If not you assuming anything about me is poor form and irrelevant. adhominem my friend."


Your post attacked me stating "And yet, there you sit, guns ablazing from behind your computer monitor" My point unless your are in a combat zone your situation is the same as mine. Sitting behind a monitor blazing something..

I never suggested bombing falluja flat, only noted the capability was there, not used. Red herring.

There is this stuff called logic and it really makes arguing fact easier and fair.

After reading your point about flattening our ego with three planes I have nothing else to say to you. Three planes killed 3000 civilians, that was preceded by attacks in Africa that killed plenty of African civilians. Those people are dead. Bush didn't kill those people, or the people in khobar.

Ego does not have anything to do with power. Look at Spain's reactions to an attack and then look at ours. You may not like military power but in 1942 Spain was red with a big swastika in the center. It wasn't Spain's power that kept you from speaking German or cooking in an oven, depending on your background.

Ego is emotion, you want to argue emotionally pick a fight with your wife. I find emotion clouds truth.

You want to puff yourself up by putting words in my mouth and playing games feel free. I'm sure your elegant, dramatic attack feels great to write but it is devoid of truth and logic. You should pursue a career in writing catalog descriptions. Here is a shoe, use 200 words to describe it.

Believe it, you can vote how you want but Kerry has stated his position and he can't back away from it. If you don't like Kerry's position on the war, vote nader..

chew on this:


Launch And Lead A New Era Of Alliances
The threat of terrorism demands alliances on a global scale - to utilize every available resource to get the terrorists before they can strike at us. As president, John Kerry will lead a coalition of the able - because no force on earth is more able than the United States and its allies.


Modernize The World's Most Powerful Military To Meet New Threats
John Kerry and John Edwards have a plan to transform the world's most powerful military to better address the modern threats of terrorism and proliferation, while ensuring that we have enough properly trained and equipped troops to meet our enduring strategic and regional missions.


Deploy All That Is In America's Arsenal
The war on terror cannot be won by military might alone. As president, John Kerry will deploy all the forces in America's arsenal - our diplomacy, our intelligence system, our economic power, and the appeal of our values and ideas - to make America more secure and prevent a new generation of terrorists from emerging.


Free America From Its Dangerous Dependence On Mideast Oil
To secure our full independence and freedom, we must free America from its dangerous dependence on Mideast oil. By tapping American ingenuity, we can achieve that goal while growing our economy and protecting our environment

Hope you get a nice warm fuzzy from your attack on me..
