"hey Booby-Lee, whats that over there?"
"Sure looks like a deer to me Bubba-Joe"

Now, I always did wonder why you in US need to be dressed in 75% red during Gunseason.
Think I got my answer.

US is there for the oil? Ya right, how much of the world-wide annual oil production comes out of Iraq, 3%? Ya if we wanted the Oil, we would have just took it a long time ago.

Yeah, Right. 3% is not much. But its a lot compared to 100% of nothing.

And btw I DON'T blame the poor soldiers, nobody told them in advance what they are running into, the criminals responsible for this sittin with their big prettythanges on warm chairs.  




America was threatened in no way by Iraq, it was just plain ridiculous- it's an "Angriffskrieg"

They just said the check point runners may have been ordered to do so.  

Before I get jumped on, I'm not saying this is true or false, just relaying what I heard from several embedded journalists.

Doesn't matter what you call it, really.  You're powerless to do anything about it.

The fact that Saddam is an evil POS that kills people does not alleviate your troops responsibility to minimize civilian casualties ... no matter what means or tactics Saddam's forces employ.

You don't think our forces are trying to minimize civilian casualties?

We sure are wasting a lot of precision weapons that cost a lot of money, could just revert back to the old 1000lbers and carpet bomb the place.

Be a lot easier and wouldn't cost any coalition lives.

Lets face it, they are doing their best to minimize civilian casualties and at the same time minimize our own. It's a difficult balancing act.

Telling the difference between civilians and soldiers has gotten to the point that its near impossible.

The Iraqis are the ones putting the burden on the coalition forces to minimize civilian casualties, while at the same time they are picking their own off and intentionally sending them off their deaths.

This is by no means a conventional war, uniformed soldiers the coalition is not fighting.

Easy to blame and point fingers, but you'll rarely find those same people to take the lead.

I'm not powerless, i just can't stop that mess as much as i would love to.

But i can show my disagreement with this war and that IS important because it's only the first of many to come if we don't do anything about it.

You can't stop it, because the majority disagree with you.

I wonder why the van didn't just stop, eh?

Roadblock, military, military vehicles.

Probably seen vehicles stopped at checkpoints before too.

If the van had stopped... would this thread exist?

Put in the parlance of any professional accident investigation, what was the primary causal factor?

Thank you.
