Suits me fine Toad...
Let me tell ya, I’m not the least bit happy winning this wager/debate.. It means I have no confidence in my own government. I am happy to finally get you to concede a debate for the 1st time in 3 years, but the topic makes me depressed. If the President of the United States could mislead Congress, the American people, all our allies about something so important as this... What else is he capable of lying about?.
I might as well write out a $45 check to HTC for Mass anyway.. patriotic duty I suppose. He deserves it. He can come back from the war and sit down at his computer and play a war game.. Just like nothing happened..
Well...
Except for waking up in the middle of the night shaking with a cold sweat.. He sees brown sandstorms.. white Toyota trucks with 50cc machine gun on the bed.. blasting toward his Humvee. At the hospital people slipping on the blood on the floor, 60% of hospital staff not showing up for work.. stacks of arms and legs in the corner.. 5 year old little girls crying for their momma.. Momma’s gone.. A-10’s flying overhead at a 100 feet in slow motion.. A surreal scene.. the smell of blood and sweat and fear... also the smell of sh*t .. the water pumping station has been blown up so nobody can flush the toilet.
Yeah.. these will be the images that will invade Mass’s dreams for the next few years.. possibly the rest of his life.
Was there any other way to avoid this?.. If Mass were to find out the premise was based on deception, ... oh never mind..
I want
you to win this bet I really do.. The creditability of the United States is at stake.
(some other emotional stuff sniped.. not needed)
Don't know if Blix & Co. are going to get in real soon though. I assume you'll take discovery by US and verification by major news agencies as proof?
You know the answer to that.. has to be 3rd party officials.
