Fail. That's a congressional authorization of force NOT a declaration of war.

Pulleeze, you are parsing semantics.
"AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ RESOLUTION OF 2002"

Maybe we should have sent the girl scouts since it wasn't a "war" :rofl

Girl scouts probably could have found those wmds that were ready to turn an American city onto a smoking crater.

If they're hanging with the enemy, trying to get "their side", then yes, fuck 'em. And any correspondent that gets killed in a WAR ZONE took their life in their own hands. Ernie Pyle was not some kind of hero for getting killed. He was doing a dangerous and likely stupid job. But the guys in the video where hanging out with armed insurgents in an active WAR ZONE. I'm not going to cry for them because they got killed when the group they were with got attacked. That's the risk they took trying to get their "story".

And for the record, the gun sight cameras are not real clear, as you can see. With the aid of hindsight, it's easy to point out "look, that was just a camera over his shoulder and not a rifle". The camera is not high-def, the lenses aren't made for durability not clarity, they are usually zoomed in on a object that is at least 1/2 a mile away, and they are looking at a screen that is probably about 6 inches square that is 2 feet from their face on the control panel of a vibrating helicopter. You think you can identify children in the cab of a vehicle under those conditions? You think you can differentiate between a bag slung over a shoulder and a weapon amongst a group of insurgents? If so, sign up, because you're clearly superior to the servicemen we have flying those Apaches now.

Hi Dave!

Thank you for contributing nothing new to the dialogue. I hope that your reading skills improve soon!:thumbup
 
Isn't this the original leak from Wikileaks????
 
You guys don't get it. There is a plethora of talk here which centers around the acceptability of killing Arabs or Muslims that would not be acceptable involving another race or religion. I hope that ya'll are proud.

Coming from the guy who is OK with wiping country of Israel off the face of the Earth. That's rich.:rolleyes
 
Wars have rules too. Have u heard of the Genea Convevtion Einstein?

I've heard of both the Geneva convention and Einstein in fact.

Wars don't have rules. The rules only apply to the loser, and enforced by the winner.


Tell me you aren't naive enough to think wars REALLY have rules? The battle of falluja alone is littered with items that can be considered war crime, you think anyone's getting prosecuted?

Perhaps I can interest you in some moon property?

Hi whoever you are!

Thank you for not realizing that we're not having a dialogue. I'm expressing an opinion, and you having the opposite opinion doesn't make you superior, so don't talk down to me. My reading skills are just fine! :thumbup
 
Enki, I'm willing to bet you have a copy of chomsky's "failed states" on your bookshelf, don't you?

If my gamble is correct, perhaps turning to page 79, and reading the next 20 or so pages will show you what I mean.

Except people who you care so much about, don't follow them.
And its a Geneva Convention, Einstein. :rolleyes
 
Recall remarking on video while back.

Crappy quality video, hard to see anything.

Like this picture of innocent workers(Gardeners). Men, Women and Children transport plants and trees.

That is what we see, but the pilot's view could be much clearer.

Well, at the risk of giving you more ammunition, may I humbly suggest failed states by Chomsky. In is, in all seriousness, something I bet you would highly enjoy.

It has the distinction of actually being held up by Hugo Chavez in the united nations hall, and him telling everyone they need to read this book

Idiots cannot form their own opinions so they piggy back on someone else's opinion thrust on them.

You know what this means? The few Americans who actually read are less likely to read it after being recommended by Hugo.

P.S. Feanor you really need to get on with the program, dude. This was already posted and heavily debated on BARF. Looks like people are going to re-argue about it again :D
