"First Lady" spending

[B_starinvestor]

Yes really. Not one of those women, children, or students asked the USA to invade and turn their shithole of a country into a hellhole, and you'd be hard pressed to find very many that are grateful today.

Please... spare us the the fucking lie that America selflessly invaded Iraq to help them better themselves. LOL!!! Do you really believe half of the BS you come up with?

Talk to a soldier or a vet of the Iraq war. The people thank and cheer them daily. The oppression and Hell they lived through is the exact thing that you liberals hate. Yet you dismiss it when it comes to the fate and well-being of the Iraqi people.

I'm not kidding. Talk to ONE soldier that spent time in Iraq.

The same person who made the following post could, and in his case he would be in the company of a few hookers::biggrin1:

Okay, you fucker. You got me there.

Let's see, we erected hospitals, schools, we provided educational systems for women, children, students...medical care, assisted in the installation of a government, trained Iraqis in a number of skills and professions, brought freedom and independence to a nation that was ruled by tyranny and lawlessness, genocide and evil. Displaced/removed a leader that robbed the country of its resources, forced its people to live in poverty with no hope or opportunity to escape, murdered people because they lost soccer games, etc etc...spat in the face of the U.N. and the international community, disregarded sanctions, invaded a helpless Kuwait, etc. etc.

Shitted away?

Not really.

So I take it you would be in favor of invading Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Iran, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Belarus, Venezuela............

If they violated two dozen UN sanctions, peace treaties, and denied weapons inspectors - yes, I would be in favor.

Ok Star, here is one of the veteran's organizations opposed to the war.

Iraq Veterans Against the War

I Googled it. There are more and I could probably find a bigger, better, prettier one. Not every vet agrees with you. Alot of them don't.

I have. Two in my family (one kid is driving a truck there now), and my old high school friend's brother who is a US army major. The kids went over there all gun-ho and brainwashed like you are and came back saying "Dude, it's bad over there." The youngest one had leave when I visited Florida last month and he didn't want to go back.

The major had been in Afghanistan in 2002-03 and was redeployed to Iraq. He thinks it was a huge blunder to go after Saddam and says most of his officer buddies agree. He is pissed that the perps behind 9/11 are still walking around and that the Taliban have gotten stronger.

These are things you conservatives (and I use the word very loosely because you are anything but "conservative"... you are radical and duped) hate to hear. Quit making shit up and believing what that hypocrite Hannity pours down your gullet. You've never been to a warzone and I doubt you've ever talked to a vet.

And the crocodile tears for the people of Iraq and Darfur... please stop. I laughed so hard when I read that one I think I may have cracked a rib.

This is a distortion and spin. Complete B.S. Give me a sec, I'll show you a post from a soldier that has been there since '03 from Facebook.

Dammit, I can't locate it.

In any case, his sentiments don't jive with your claims above, Vince.

His description of the Iraqi people is that they are grateful, respectful and constantly conciliatory and thankful for our involvement and presence there.

Of course, you never get that from the noise that spews out of the liberal media outlets.

And if it is so horrible to be there, why hasn't Obama and the gang pulled us out?

 

[vince]

I believe my own nephews over what you claim some guy on Facbook is saying.

And of course the the Iraq people are polite and conciliatory. For one thing they are a Muslim people and that is the way you treat a visitor no matter what. But that doesn't mean they are grateful that the British and American armed forces came in and blew up their country. 100,000 dead civilians. You think they are thankful for that?

You all are worried and crying about the size of Mrs. Obama's staff. Lol.

Pathetic.

I don't know if it's true that Michelle Obama has more staff than Laura Bush.

If she does, and it appears that it is excessive, then it's stupid. We're in tough economic times, lots of people not doing well, and spending more and more on White House staff doesn't make sense.

And if the above is the case - IF - then don't get into comparing it to other shit that has gone on in the past 400 fucking years.

It is either stupid or it's not.

I answered it rhetorically.

Through a strawman. Pretty weak rhetoric.

 

[SilverTrain]

Through a strawman. Pretty weak rhetoric.

As the original "argument" was a straw man, it seemed rather fitting.

So, does this mean you're going to go hunting 'round the entire forum in search of "weak" rhetorical responses to asinine statements, and posting your rulings thereon? Or was this just a special case?

Kerrrrrr-ist.

 

[D_Sir Fitzwilly Wankheimer III]

Does the word Iraq mean anything to you?

The verdict is still out on that one.

most of those 100,000 blew each other up not the the US.

Were they blowing each other up before the Coalition arrived?

Does genocide count? Tens of thousands buried alive...tortured, etc.?

Yes, you've described what the US forces are guilty of : the genocide & torture of the Iraqi peoples, plus making them homeless, hungry and poor.
