Nuke,

Are you capable of replying to any thread without resorting to calling people that disagree with you names? Or making other sarcastic or direct insults?

No just a hopeful one in that I'd get a reply without insult.

Whoever fed Colin Powell his "Evidence Of WMD" intel before his speech at the UN..


The Russians, Germans, FRench, Israelis, Brits, and the UN all had the same intel and not supplied by Powell.  How do you explain this?  A gigantic conspiracy?

You immediately attacked people.  The fact that you can't see how  is..... kinda funny.

I just figure he feels the need to stick with what he is good at. And as long as he is allowed to continue this brilliant debating tactic he will.

I find it ironic that  Red Tail wants to use his death for some small minded point of his.


Is being lied to by the US Army small minded? Is my point small minded that this guy died and we were intentionally lied to? What's small minded anout that, to want the US Army to be held accountable for misleading the American public?

Where's the irony in that? Please explain...if you can

And what happened to your Tillman Avatar? :confused:

Before the thread gets locked, can someone tell me what the deal was with the 'they burned his uniform' part is?  I'm not clear on whether the US soldiers burned it afterwards to try and hide something?  Or it happen during the attack?  What?

If it's blindingly obvious, I apologize, but still wanna know what that sentence means.

Scroll to the first post for the whole story....here's an excerpt.


"The latest investigation, written about by The Washington Post earlier this month, showed that soldiers in Afghanistan knew almost immediately that they had killed Tillman by mistake in what they believed was a firefight with enemies on a tight canyon road. The investigation also revealed that soldiers later burned Tillman's uniform and body armor."

Ok, I got that, but WHY?  Was it because they were trying to hide something?  Eg, make him look like an insurgent?  Or was the explanation more prosaic?

Nuke, Somalia was "invaded" after Clinton was elected but not yet in office.

It was GHW Bush (R) who decided to send in the American Military to distribute humanitarian aid to the Somalians who could not get food due to the Civil War raging in that country.  Under Clinton however, the mission evolved into something not originally intended.

They burned his uniform clearly for a cover up...  By doing such the family would not see the amount of bullet holes in this man to include the size of the bullet holes (50 .cal is what i think killed him..) which family then would clearly identify as fraticide..  (clothing has only blood stain and holes...  very easy to identify what happened...  a body is much harder to tell without medical training)

when poster boy took the fall from his own platoon thats a huge blow.. (rangers lead the way i guess) on top of this his brother (who was armed and in the same unit, different platoons though) was not notified what really happened till much later.. go figure, he most likely would have lock and loaded considering the circumstances..(cluster**** command)

Pat got screwed plain and simple, mistakes happen but what happend after was no mistake..

If you read the whole story on this guy what grinds me is that his LT made the right call by challenging his orders but he was overruled so that someone would look good on their OER for getting them to a non existant objective with no tactical value considering the lighting conditions... instead of reporting a delay to malfunctioning equipment.. (humvee)

pathetic..
