Did you notice that this milestone, passing 4,000 KIA in Iraq got little
media attention and that in general it was accepted as a ho hum?

  What are the death rates for US highways again?  How about the
murder rate for the larger cities?  And what about some of the wars in
the past?

Put it into perspective

OK.  Putting it into perspective, 9-11 caused fewer than 4,000 deaths.
Yet, here we are killing people far away in a strange land who had
absolutely nothing to do with 9-11 so that some of us can feel safer
knowing that they are dead.  In the meantime, we plan more invasions
so that we can make some of us feel a little bit safer still.

BTW, the highway death toll propaganda technique has been around at
least since Vietnam.  

You mean the Rosenbergs didn't invent it?

Do you think that they did?

Did you.

No.  Now answer the question.

It didn't make Vietnam any safer either.  

Jane Fonda did that.

Well, at least you lust after women.

Does that disappoint you in some way?

No, but it suprise's me a little.

BTW,
if you like we could compare the first five years in Iraq with the
first five years in Vietnam and try to project that out for another 10
years of so.

Nobody is going to do your homework for you.

No need to.  I can wait.  After all, some want us to be there for 100
years.

Wow!  That's not a very popular opinion.  You might want to keep it to
yourself.

He's your stated candidate.

Only if I hold my nose when I vote.  Do you think the polling booths
with come with a little vomit bag like on aircraft?  I sure hope so.

Yeah...well...you made your choice.  Live with it.

I already told you I voted for Paul in our Primary. Now what?

Didn't you just made some remarks about Paul supporters a few threads
ago? I'll take this as just another lie until you provide a cite
where you said it. You lie so much and the more that you do it, the
less people believe you without proof.

Cheese-Bob has, in the past, made snarky remarks about Paul
supporters. I don't recall him saying he voted for Paul, but I don't
check this group every day.

He does have a propensity for spinning the facts, tho. I'd like to
see where he made the claim, as well.

Come November a dollar to a donut says, he's voting for Insane McCain,
tho.

Nope. You will have to vote for your candidate without my help.

I was addressing Cheese-Bob, not you Mr. Brock.

Apologies if I mis-attributed any part of this thread.

No. It was my fault for reading too fast. I tried to cancel it, but
you know how that works out most of the time.

The apology is mine.
