I'd say goodbye to the lumber industry, but the sluggishness of Entmoot combined with Congress would allow me not to worry about that until the first man sets foot on Pluto.
I agree. I have only used neg Karma once, and that was because the poster was being an ass, not because I disagreed with him.Horseman 77 wrote:

I love how people just hand out negative karma anonymously as opposed to actually debating something. Yes, your point is well made. </sarcasm>
If you disagree with someone have the courtesy to debate them in the open, rather than giving a -1 and a smart ass comment.
An anonymous smart ass comment, at that. It's like people use karma to replace actual debate, as somehow that is a worthwhile contribution.
In the past 24 hours, I received 3 negative karma with some smart ass comment attached, and no sign of an actual retort in the thread. If you really think my post is poorly worded, needs to be backed up better or you just think my opinion is lame, how about you debate with me instead of wussing out and sending some negative karma my way with a worthless comment?

All I have to say is thank god horseman isn't president we'd be bombing ourselves haha jk

Horseman stop saying that attacks have on american's dropped to 0 our troops are american and it just makes you look silly.
Edit to make instruct. you can say attacks on american soil have dropped off to 0 to be accurate, And I have a ghost trap to sell you.
Keep your ghost trap and find someone who actually listens to you next time you want to Sound like you are giving orders. We have Professional, Volunteer, Soldiers Fighting now, Not 3000 people dying in 20 minutes time. That's a big improvement over our previous responses or lack there of.
Yeah but horseman it's a volunteer force but they are still american's and the point is we as a nation are still attacked. It's a sugar coating on a situation saying that america hasn't been attack isn't true.
Yeah sorry about the giving orders thing I was at a lost for words, and in the middle of something else. Hey mistakes happen. Didn't mean to come off as a dick.

Cool, I beleive its Trailing off in Iraq, the next year or two will bear me out or burry me. They will come up with some other plan no doubt.
Horsey,
I am a big believer in our reasons for bombing the bejesus out the smacktard iraqis.
As a war news buff, I have to point out that attacks are trailing off lately mostly because our guys are spending a whole lot of time inside the green zone. There are entire cities that are virtually deserted by U.S. troops because it's just too dangerous.
Here's what I'd do if I was DICKtator;
I would break Iraq into ten mile square grids on a map. I would announce that any attacks by IED's would result in the leveling of one square mile inside the ten square mile grid that the bombing took place in. The square mile to be leveled would be choosen at random.
IED attacks stop day after first randomly choosen square mile is flattened.
Don't worry, I'm not running for high office .

i live in australia
It is " their " country, their own police are patroling now. I am totally cool with the "Stay inside the green Zone plan" if it is indeed actually happening. I heard that Story only in a Propaganda piece, may or may not be factuall. I figured we'd be in Iraq 8 to 10 years ala Germany and Japan after WWII. If we get out sooner than that its a major acomplishment. Not that it would quell any patriotic dissenters.
the green zone is really not that big

I have to say because of Iraq's tecnology their not going to be able to be proberly policed or have an american type civilation for at least 20 years. Majority of the contry is based on a nomadic culture and that's why clergy have alot of power, because for years they where the form of Presidents. I could be wrong though, but it's kinda comparable to South America where there's the main population, but they still have nomadic tribes living in the forests and such.
you are right in that most the country is based on nomadic culture. I really dont think the average iraqi cares about who runs the government as long as they are able to live their dirt farming lives.cpt.fass1 wrote:

Although I have absolutely no idea how you arrived at that figure. Saying Iraq's culture is nomadic is like saying Americas is Cowboy. It matters little how people lived 100 years ago. The nomadic tribes left are of little account.cpt.fass1 wrote:

When have I ever advocated any mass Bombings? Also Fuk the Resolve of some piss ass terrorist. History is leaving them behind. they are becoming out casts and minorities in the last few places that they had refuge.Torin wrote:

The road side bomb is a piss poor excuse for any sort of Meaningfull Real action. It seems they kill more of their own while doing it.
"I could be wrong though" horseman I came to that 20 year mark Just cause that what I figured it would be after all the conflict ends to build up roads and the infasturture(spl).
"The nomadic tribes left are of little account"
If I remember correctly GunSlinger OIF II was in Iraq so I belive he will be able to tell if that's true?
I have to say that even though they might not be "nomadic" anymore the Roads leave alot of towns to fend for themself.

were not seeing a bunch of arabs roaming the desert in caravans and horses. but, the culture still exists. Neighborhoods in iraq are divided by which historical tribe settled there. In fact, you have soldiers in the iraqi army who refuse to serve alongside other soldiers if they belonged to the "clantons" or "mccoys" (something like that). Ive witnessed riots in the ranks of the ING (iraqi national guard) where shiite and shiite were going at with mechetes and swords because of long standing rivalries between tribes. They would throw their kalishnokovs on the ground and pick up something sharp or pointy. Now if that is not an example of how arab nomadic history has seeped into modern arab society, i dont know what is. In fact I am starting to recall something about the country is basically divided along tribal lines and boundaries. If i could only find that trusty Iraq Smart book they gave us before the deployment
That's why he got my vote. Personally I didn't like either canidate, but he was the lesser of two evils. Kerry was just a hypocrite that would have pushed another Brady bill into office. Taking hunting poses with shotguns while cosponsoring anti-firearm bills. Yes... please.. appeal to the people you're trying to take rights away from!yerded wrote:

So horseman the proof is in the pudding(or sand) so to speak. Their sociaty is based strongly on the clans and from my understanding of it is very nomadic.
Gunslinger yeah that'd be cool if you can get that info from the Iraq smart book(It seems like an oxymoron those two words together, baaaaziiiiiiinnnnnnggg)
