Well, if you're looking for me to admit that I was wrong as to waiting outside Bagdad and the victory being that simple....yes, I was wrong and openly admit it....if you're implying that I said it would be over in one week, then you're putting words in my mouth.

Killing hundreds of thousands of people won't happen...you would probably like to blame us for something like that, but I still feel that casualties will be minimal in the scope of what wars have produced in the past.

As to your personal insult directed at me, that too is wrong. If you had tried as hard to get to know me as you have trying to insult me, then we might be on better terms.

Gettin' a headache yet? :D

I certainly don't consider myself your personal itching affliction but I am truly amused at the irony of a guy that says he just can't stand to read this type of thread who then reads and posts in a bunch of them. Seems to me you give yourself your very own case of the red *ss. Self-inflicted 'roids. I mean, who doesn't laugh at that?


I don't like this war. In fact, if you do a search, you'll find I was opposed to this action before it started. Now that US troops are engaged, I want it over as fast as possible.

And, being the O-Club, I feel I can discuss it with those who also wish to discuss it.

And some that say they don't.

NOW THAT WAS INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pongo... no offense but Rude's quote so far looks right on.
We're right outside of Bagdad... casualites have been verrrry low for BOTH sides and Saddam's Government could crash at any moment..especialy after his RG's are routed...
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

lol Toad. :D

Squelch... with all due respect, bud, you haven't been here very long. Not your fault, but you should realise that this O-club discusses current affairs... alot. It always has done. The war is a very current affair right now, when it's over, the threads that discuss it will largely fizzle out and we will then start discussing the reconstruction of Iraq etc. That's the way it has worked. If that's not your thang, then, fair enough. But don't expect the O-club to change to questions about gardening, interior decor or Feng Shui. It just isn't going to happen. :)

I'm not new to the forum...just new to posting in it. I know how it works.

And I am not the only one who wants HT to stick up a 'War Forum'. People like you are just scared of change. It's not your fault.

Has the bright light of reason shone through yet?

Or are you still in the "knocked senseless" self-imposed darkness?

bzzzzzzzzzzt......... doink!

But then, I guess I know the answer to that. Sorry for asking.

This has been a successful hi-jack.

Thanks for your stupidity, Toad! :D

Thanks, but I am truly not worthy.

I therefore humble myself and perform obeisance before the true master, your worshipfulness.

So what subjects do you want to talk about? Start a thread, let's see what you're made of, old bean.

And for the rest of the posters in this thread, let me say that I am much reassured and comforted by the news that the headlong rush to Baghdad is apparently slowed while new units are brought into theater.

The pending arrival of the 4th ID, supposedly our most advanced technically is a good thing. Estimates put them "combat ready" some time in mid-April. I think those troops will help secure the current situation. Also, a small part of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment is otw as well with Helo's and GV's.

I don't think a Baghdad assault is going to happen for much longer than that.

Because: (from Knight Ridder)

Quote
And three armored units - the 1st Cavalry Division, the 1st Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment - are still in the United States or Europe and will not be in the Gulf region until mid- to late April.


So, I think there's been a reevaluation of the plan and we all might as well get comfortable because this could easily run into June the way it looks now. Obviously, they've alerted a lot more armor for deployment.

Of course, things are "fluid" as they say.  ;)

 Additionally,

But like I was saying: you hard-core war devotees need a little a 'nest egg' of your own.

Because littering the board should a punishable offense.
