One of the best posts I have seen on TWeb. (AJ's pick for April 5th)

Thumbs way up for this one...

Socrates:

Jimmy Higgins:I still think America losing this battle is the best thing that can happen, because the deaths of 3000 Coalition soldiers in the beginning may end up being significantly less than what may happen if any united uprising occurs while our troops are there. The trouble with rabid lefties, as Jimmy illustrates, it that they just hate people. He's happy to see thousands of his own countryment killed (and hundreds of mine) in the name of his pet leftist cause -- anything but admit that his country was right to remove the Butcher of Baghdad.

Jimmy must be seething with rage after commandos rescued Pvt. Jessica Lynch from her would-be torturers, because her life would have been a small price to pay for his leftie ends.

It's even worse that an Iraqi risked much to alert the Americans of her whereabouts, because it's shocking to find Iraqis who welcome the Americans as liberators rather than standing by Saddam to the death.

How anyone would intentionally want thousands of people die is simply beyond me.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, and mommies and daddies out there putting their lives on the line for us, and you would actually want them to die? :hrm: And not only that, but after they die, you're giving this madman an open invitation to attack even more people.

That... that is just not human. :no:

Boom is a bad influence on our database.

The IP conclusively answers a post by TFBandie (http://www.theologyweb.com/forum/showpost.php?p=543816&postcount=32),

"Do you beleive that liberals hate America so much as to take over the media and then publish inflamatory stories in order to get American soldiers killed? It just doesn't make sense."
As shown, there are liberals like Higgy who really do want to see Americans get killed. It's a disgrace when leftist "journalists" like Pilger claim that American soldiers are legitimate targets. And even worse, when terrorists in Iraq bomb UN outposts and even mosque, the leftists squawk that the terrorists killed the "wrong" people.

By the way:
I still think America losing this battle is the best thing that can happen, because the deaths of 3000 Coalition soldiers in the beginning may end up being significantly less than what may happen if any united uprising occurs while our troops are there.(my emphasis)

Total soldiers killed: 873 (http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/)
Soldiers killed during the "war": 172 (http://lunaville.org/warcasualties/Summary.aspx)
Soldiers killed after the "war": 701

Even Socrates can do this math, over 4 times as many soldiers have died after the war. What I predicted happened, though as of right now, the scale is a bit smaller. My claim that losing would have been better was mistaken because it would have bolstered support for terrorism probably, however, the battle itself has shown itself to be a mistake as well. And I obviously didn't want 3000 dead troops because I never wanted to go into Iraq in the first place.

If the mods like, chop out a couple of these posts into a new Poli-Sci thread. I just had it with Socrates hiding around here and lying about what I wanted.


Lying indicates an intentional attempt to deceive, such a strong accusation requires proof of intent as well as deed, thus I ask that you provide evidence for such a strong accusation.

If you want to argue the issue guys, take it to Poli Sci.
