I bow before your incredible ability to read my mind.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I think you're being obtuse here MiniD. (hehe, know how much you like that word ;) ) No one mentioned a time frame for bringing the troops home. It's been mentioned many times in many other threads and was never a suggestion that we forego our responsibilities, at least not by me nor do I feel by the others that have posted the same.

Once again, you're adressing what wasn't said iron.  You are interpreting things the way you would like them to be.

Look at what was said... not what wasn't said.

Indeed, look at what I said before Dowding began his rant. Here, I'll quote it for ya.

"Let's bring 'em ALL home, including Iraq and Afghanistan, soon as the job is done there."

By the "soon as the job is done there" I meant once a stable government is installed.

Dowding knows full well that is what most of us want. He was just taking a cheap shot.

He didn't quote you iron.. he quoted funkedup who posted before you did.  Let me shed some light on this for you:

Funked says:

"I'm all for US forces withdrawing from everywhere."

Shortly after, you say:

"Let's bring 'em ALL home, including Iraq and Afghanistan, soon as the job is done there."

Now.. why didn't you just quote funked and agree with him?  I mean... it was so crystal clear that you just had to... um... clarify it.

He quoted funkedup, not you.  FunkedUp got pissed cause he got lazy and decided to spew rhetoric instead of saying what he actually meant.

LOL.

You're grasping at straws.  This is what I mean by anti american trolling.

Al Jazeera wasn't bombed.  At least research your material before you through it out there.

Even if Al Jazeera was bombed, I'm sure it was unintentional collateral damage.  Yeah, That's it... probably had to do with Russian GPS jammers.... yeah, damn Russkies screwed everything up.  Real target was French Biolab next door...  yeah.

I was highlighting the imprecise rhetoric posted by people in this thread. If I'd meant you AKIron, I would have quoted you. And now you overlook the fact I didn't quote you to take a cheap shot, in parallel with accusing me of taking cheap shots!

Your technique needs work, my friend. If you want to snipe, I'd suggest you wait until you have a more solid target in the cross-hairs.

No tv network bombed.  Nice try though.
Perhaps you'd have better luck spewing your propaganda in your own country?  They probably don't actually require proof there.

You'd get away with it.

Ya gotta read between the lines, dude. The troops who weren't in Saudi Arabia will now not be in Iraq.
