You are right.  I guess I expect more from you than from Drippy.

All Rip had to say was
"Some good news from Iraq," put in the quote and salute the troops.

I think that the opinions of the commander of a  Marine Air Station in Japan about the situation in Iraq and the political picture are important, I am glad that Rhumsfeld passed them on to the Comandant of the marines and that the Commandant passed them on to the base commander and that he passed them on to his troops. I'm even glad that Rip passed them on to us. I dont appreciate him using the LtCol as a means to attack others on the board though.


boy you canadians are sensative if you think that was an attack....I dont see anything in his post at all that sudjested anything about anybody except a little FYI on the the mesages author

Can you explain this further? I asked for comments from the Bush bashers. You replied, but it had nothing to do with the article. You imply I'm doing this behind the LtCol? Doing what? Calling a spade a spade? How did you come to the conclusion that I was "hiding" behind the LtCol? I'm very interested to hear this and awaiting your reply.

Assuming that all those items are factual our forces should be proud of their accomplishments.

Sorry to disappoint Rip.

MrBlack.


Please don't quote Lord dumd arss, it defeats the ignore thingie

He is a dryed up loon and not worth reading any longer. God knows I gave him many chances but "the hate is to strong with this one".

Someday he may grow up and then be worth reading.

Even dmnnexus can have a point every now and again.

Thanks

Gunslinger. I am too sensitive too it. No doubt about it.
If I posted a letter from a soldier serving in Iraq that recounted all his disappointments and apprehensions about the campaign and how they are not accomplishing what the White house says they are or what ever,
and followed it up with "Hey you war lovers, happy with what jr has done to this persons life?"
How would people feel? The soldier has earned the right to give his opinion on the issue, but for me to use it as an attack is to hide behind the respect that the soldier has earned.
 Attack the soldier thats their on the ground doing his job? Or attack Pongo for using the persons words as an attack when they arent here to defend the words them selves.

(of course I have not such letter, nor know of the existance of such a letter,  it is just an oposite example of why Rips second post pissed me off)

Rip serving officers in the miltitary say what they are told to say. They pass on what they are told to pass on. I have no problem with you posting that positive information from the rebuilding side of the war in Iraq.  I am interested in discussing why such positive information is not getting out as I am sure it is true to some greater or lesser extent.
But you chose to taint your thread so live with it.

I definately disagree with you on this.  Military officers are not told what to say in most cases but told WHAT NOT TO SAY!  They are humans.  This one her is just telling his Marines some basic facts mixed with some political opinion.  I'm not saying all these facts are exactly true BUT the purpose of this letter is to increase moral...NOT to spread political disent

"Military deaths from fanatic Nazi's, and Japanese numbered in the thousands and continued for over three years after WWII victory was declared. "

This is a very good point.

good post rip.....

have a tendency to forget the good side of things once in a while....

problem is rip.....its costing a whole lotta money.....and people are not blind to that fact.

Bush Jr. goes around asking for money from his ALLIES.....Canada's says OK....we'll lend Iraq 300 million in support for Mr.Bush(since we CANNOT help in Iraq AND Afhganistan).....1 month later.....Bush says NO to Canada for the bidding process on reconstruction.....

sorry, but his dealings in Foriegn Affairs makes him look like a fool.....

If only Bush Sr. didn't leave the shiites hanging in '93....

I'm just trying to make you understand an outsiders POV rip.....

But your post was a good read....and some excellent achievements by the US military.....

let the french comments begin....oh wait a min....let the UN bashing begin....grrrrr......let the slo bashing begin.

Oh and BTW...Americans are still North Americans.:aok
