KRIS...
On troops lacking resources:
Ok, you wanted me to go into detail about how "our troops don't seem to have the resources to get the job done efficiently and effectively". Fine.
I assume that you're refering to the troops in Tallil who refused to push a convoy North because they didn't think their Humvees were uparmored enough. Well, I live 5 miles from Tallil and run the exact same route they were going to take EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY. We know that particular unit. The only reason they refused to take the convoys was that they aren't used to pushing convoys and they were flat out scared. Hell, they aren't even used to leaving post. Pussies. Here's a newsflash. That stupid shit means dick here. Quick, alert the media that Iraq sucks.
On the topic of missing explosives:
So what the Hell position are you advocating here Ian? It sure can't be that we shouldn't have gone into Iraq because there wasn't a WMD threat. You have just said that the missing explosives would likely have been used for WMDs. Case closed. You can thank me later.
On the issue of voting:
Vote for whomever you want to. Don't vote if you don't want to. I don't care. (Besides, don't you live in Illinois? If you're claiming First District, WI residency, I would change it to IL where your vote may actually mean something instead of voting against a Republican who's practically unopposed. Frankly, Paul Ryan doesn't need your vote this go around.)
On the secret ingredient of Heinz Ketchup:
Puppy meat
What I'd really like to see on this site is a better discussion of the F A C T S. Lately, both sides have been spouting uninformed partisan nonsense with small doses of almost-balanced interJungtions. I honestly laugh to myself as I read these posts. I find it so hard to believe that these are the issues the people back home are wringing their hands over. This forum deserves better, and I'm too damn busy making the news that you all fret about to worry about it.
