CNN reporting that the other copter with the one that was shot down....

[kentuck]

was carrying a two-star general who was visiting that area of Iraq. They report that it would have been a huge symbolic victory for the Iraqis if they had shot down the other Blackhawk. Any Congressmen signing up to visit Iraq lately?

1. And in a few days that General will give interviews about all of the

wonderful progress being made over there. Of course, he won't return.

3. Where in the post did you infer such a thing?

Can I borrow your spin-goggles?

6. heh

theyre found to the right :p

4. Where do you get the idea he wants someone to get killed?

Explain how his question, first re-read it, says he wants someone to get killed.

[kentuck]

5. Well, Buddy....actually no.

I don't want to see our Congresspeople get killed. I was simply wandering if they still think everything is goin so hunky-dory and if they would still feel safe flying into Mosul, a mere 250 miles from Baghdad. Why would you think such a thing?

[Ripley]

8. I think it is a joke.

Or Kentuck is trying to make the point that if things are so wonderful over there, why is it that Spain pulled out, the Red Cross pulled out and Congressmen aren't going there anymore? If anyone does visit Iraq, the new Paradise, they spend the night in Kuwait.

9. Where did he say that he wanted

congressmen and soldiers to get killed? I re-read the post and he said nothing remotely like that.

19. Well, welcome Buddy Holly !

Once you get to know me and others, you will understand that we are not that type of person that would wish someone to die like that. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. We are your friends and are trying to prevent other loved ones for dying if it is not necessary for the defense of our nation. We believe these people have to be confronted.

20. Hmmm

I still don't see how you could get the wrong vibe. Kentuck's post seemed crystal clear to me. Perhaps you should be a bit more patient before you jump to conclusions. Sorry to hear about your brother, though. Despite what is said about this forum, and the Left in general, no one wants to see anybody die. In fact, that is exactly why so many of us oppose the war.

The lunatics on the Right are the only ones thirsting for blood, dishonoring our brave soldiers (by not giving them benefits, a valid strategy, or even honoring their deaths in the traditional manner).

As for the coincedence of your name, it is an odd coincedence, wouldn't you agree?

12. Has someone been visiting Andrew Sullivan's Website?

That's what I would infer after reading your post.

[arcane1]

13. you guys are just ACHING for one of us to say that

to then paint the entire left with it

it was the REPUBLICANS who wanted to send troops over there to die, remember?

How many MORE Americans do YOU want to see killed?

:shrug:

[a_random_joel]

15. Didn't BuddyHolly die in a plane crash?

Interesting name choice considering the subject matter your very first post here is regarding.

Now I'm curious... Do you actually want rock stars to to get killed?

[theHandpuppet]

18. Reading comprehension skills, anyone?

Try them sometime -- they come in handy on a discussion forum. Sheesh.

Those who turned down the invitation included Fred Barnes, Jackson Diehl, William Safire and George Will.

21. The little guys that are getting killed don't even register on the richter

scale for these "thugs in washington"....now..when one of their own goes down with the ship, or building, or vehicle...then...the seriousness will hit home.

Our sons and adughters are checkers on a board game they are not playing...the danger has to hit home to be taken seriououly.

When "they" lose arms, legs or lives...it will become relative.
Sad but true.
