Oh Goldi's problem with me goes way back. Ask SKYDRIFTER.

I can vouch for that as well. Goldi got sick of their fights from way back. I think BAC's for real he's just got a difficult personality and does not always debate honestly. Red Jones can tell you the same as he was there too.

Instead of responding in kind, FD4UMers have used the bozo filter in large numbers to avoid reading any of those posts, have thrown out mountains of adhominems and directed rivers of vulgar language at that poster, have begged that poster to leave, have called for his banning, and are now suggesting without any proof whatsoever that he's part of some zionist conspiracy.

And it seems more than unusual that you'd be banned from LP for something so insignificent - what was it? criticizing GWB for his open borders policy or something minor like that? Is that all it took to push the LP mod over the edge? It seems so strange. Can you explain it better to me. And no I don't think anyone here believes you are part of a "Zionist conspiracy" - your words, not ours - but the timing of your departure and odd things coming up at LP - well it's all unsettling.

Ooser got banned because he was badgering Goldi on a amnesty bill thread to ban Uncle Bill, Scivener, TwentyTwelve, and any other "kooks" he could think of, including me.

BeAChooser, what is that suppose to mean?

Also I find it curious how the citizens of Iraq were armed to the teeth, I do remember through the years seeing photos of men, ordinary men, holding and shooting machine guns. There seemed to be no gun control laws like we have in America, and I remembered reading that in Iraq having lots of guns was part of the culture.

Reading BAC's post #134 on that thread got me to thinking about that, how there were so many guns and ammunition all over Iraq.

It's just unusual in a dictatorship situation for the citizenry to have so many weapons, so many guns of all kinds available to them.

THe reaction to you is not about whether you call somebody names.

It's about your obnoxious, thread-spamming, and frequently irrelevant remarks which you repeat over, and over, and over, and over - combined with a shameless acceptance of any claims the Bush Administation has to make explaining its actions.

a. Uh...why would our soldiers die whether we were in Iraq or not?

b. Uh...hello, BAC, anyone home?

We fought in World War II along with 2 other allies, who suffered incredible losses, against nations with standing armies in uniforms that had declared war on us.

Iraq did not declare war on us. Why should we be wanting to sustain a loss of 9 KIA a day for a nebulus war with no end in sight that we started for lies?

Not to mention the fact that we are the laughing stock of the universe for having caused this war and our so called "coalition of the willing" ( say what?) pals are dropping off like flies because their own public are so pissed off at being a part of this Iraq invasion for Israel/Halliburton/Exxon charade.

Thousands and thousands of islamo-fanatics have gone to Iraq ... and died there. If they weren't attacking us there, they'd likely be causing trouble elsewhere.

BEFORE we invaded Iraq, al-Zarqawi, operating out of Iraq, was plotting attacks against US allies and Americans. One such plot hoped to kill every American in the US embassy in Amman. What would you have done about him and his associates, given that Saddam was showing no willingness to stop him?

Why should we be wanting to sustain a loss of 9 KIA a day

The why is not the issue here. AGAviator (and you?) object to the notion that this country could sustain 9 KIA a day for years and years? Why in my opinion, that is just as silly as AGAviator claiming housing prices went down 16% in that graph I posted.

And how many Americans had died in the first 6 months? With any end for the war still years away? How much of Americas resources were being spent on the war with any end years away? And fighting over what? Some tropical islands with no resources whatsoever? And if the American media reported those deaths, those expenses, and the costly progress of the war the same as they've reported Iraq, do you honestly think American morale would have been as high as it was? Or would America have been talking about suing for peace to end the nightmare?

We sustained far more than those monetary costs in WW2.

WW2 cost 130 percent of GDP. Even at AGAviator's two trillion, the Iraq war would only be a 5 to 10 percent of current GDP.

Let me be clearer to you - why SHOULD we sustain 9 KIA American citizens for a war for lies? Your Zarqawi tale ( even if it were true) did not give us authority to invade Iraq, which was no threat to our nation.

We invaded Iraq for Israel mainly and the defense industry and oil industry were served as secondary interests.

Our American citizen soldiers should not be fighting and dying at 1 KIA per day never mind 9 KIA per day for the national security interests of a foreign nation, which does not even want to sign a mutual defense treaty with America.

BeAChooser, do you feel our American soldiers should die for Israel's national security interests?

"IRAQ:War Launched to Protect Israel - Bush Adviser"

...Zelikow's casting of the attack on Iraq as one launched to protect Israel appears at odds with the public position of President George W. Bush and his administration, which has never overtly drawn the link between its war on the regime of former president Hussein and its concern for Israel's security.

The administration has instead insisted it launched the war to liberate the Iraqi people, destroy Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and to protect the United States.

Zelikow made his statements about ”the unstated threat” during his tenure on a highly knowledgeable and well-connected body known as the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB), which reports directly to the president.

He served on the board between 2001 and 2003.

”Why would Iraq attack America or use nuclear weapons against us? I'll tell you what I think the real threat (is) and actually has been since 1990 -- it's the threat against Israel,” Zelikow told a crowd at the University of Virginia on Sep. 10, 2002, speaking on a panel of foreign policy experts assessing the impact of 9/11 and the future of the war on the al-Qaeda terrorist organisation.

”And this is the threat that dare not speak its name, because the Europeans don't care deeply about that threat, I will tell you frankly. And the American government doesn't want to lean too hard on it rhetorically, because it is not a popular sell,” said Zelikow...

Yes I read that long thread, but that's a cryptic answer.

So what did you mean, first he said it's not important who his friends are, then you gave him that somewhat ominous answer and I wondered what you meant by that.

And when Scrapper2 said something about being taken away in a boxcar, and you said you would care, did you mean you'd care as in you'd be against it, that you would want no harm to come to her or did you mean you'd care in that you'd be all for it? Sometimes you're not real clear on those issues.

And if the American media reported those deaths, those expenses, and the costly progress of the war the same as they've reported Iraq, do you honestly think American morale would have been as high as it was?

You're living in a dream world.

Go read some newspapers from the time.

The fact is, within 6 months the US was on its way to winning because they had some political and military leadership who knew how to lead.

Oh yeah, and the President at the time was a Democrat!

ROTFLAMO!

why SHOULD we sustain 9 KIA American citizens for a war

Not the issue. AGAviator claimed we could NOT sustain such losses. 300,000 plus dead and missing in WW2 proves that isn't true.

Your Zarqawi tale ( even if it were true)

It is true. Didn't you pay any attention to the news? The terrorists were even convicted of the plot. One of those convicted was al-Zarqawi.

did not give us authority to invade Iraq, which was no threat to our nation.

Not the question. What would you have done about al-Zarqawi if he'd killed a few hundred or thousand Americans in such a plot (not to mention tens of thousands of Jordanians) given that Saddam wasn't doing anything to curtail his activities?

We invaded Iraq for Israel

Well, that's your opinion.

the defense industry and oil industry were served as secondary interests

Again, your opinion. Opinions are a dime a dozen. So are "advisors".

"WW2 cost 130 percent of GDP. Even at AGAviator's two trillion, the Iraq war would only be 5 to 10 percent of current GDP."

False.

Well let's see, 2 trillion divided by 10 trillion per year for 3 years. Yep ... 5 to 10 percent of GDP.

First of all, it wasn't scrapper who said that and second, yes, I'd be against it.

But at what cost? To win the war they spent over 300,000 American lives and a fantastic percentage of the GDP. Over what? A few islands? And a case can be made that we forced the Japanese into attacking us when we cutoff their access to oil. What right did we have to do that?
