quote: ORIGINAL: FatDomDaddy There ya go... A classic example of "Blame America First!" BTW... as far as Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch goes... From Viet Nam past to the Civil War, in wars that were covered as media evends and people read daily, then read and listened and finally watched accounts of each action, where heroes recieved medals and citations for their glorious death at the hands of the enemy or for their heroic deeds in action on the field there have been Pat Tillmans and Jessica Lynchs, scores and scores except for one thing... Nobody ever found out, or if they did, it was never reveled and covered up. So I am a little tired of the left's "appalled" reaction to them now. I am sure julia you would support of every medal and citation for the last 150 years to weed out the ones that don't belong. I don't think it's so much a case of "Blame America First" as it is "Quick, change the subject" on julia's part. Though blaming America first seems to be the preferred subject for julia, I don't think that's the main reason she throws such clownishly ridiculous ideas out there. I think that the main reason she does that is to redirect topics away from facts that hurt her side as badly as the OP does. It's pure desperation on her part, and nothing more. Our discussing the possibility that Americans are fighting a worthy battle in Iraq just horrifies her, in my opinion. Her, and everyone like her.

Actually I brought up the other examples to back up my opinion that the military is not exactly credible and what they report to the media should be viewed with a jaundiced eye since we have no other source of information on the topic.

I did not know that I was supposed to comment on this story in some preapproved way to be politically correct. I have my view, you have yours. I am very accustomed to being flamed for my views. I am not going to flame in return, although I will note something, you have not addressed why this story should be believed based upon the source of it.

All the story actually proves is that somebody placed a bomb in a girls school...If it was done by Sunnis or Shias this hardly supports our reason for fighting this war or staying in their war torn country.

In a courtroom when a person is on trial and the defense attorney presents evidence that shows that a cop has perjured himself in criminal cases before, planted evidence, and such, this can be shown as evidence to support a contention that this source of information is indeed compromised and should not be believed. I'd be interested to know your source for that information. A cop who plants evidence and perjures himself in a courtroom is not going to remain a cop very long. Btw, just because something happens in, or is admissible in, a courtroom doesn't make it logical (O.J. trial anybody?). Regardless of whether it would be admissible in a courtroom, your argument is still based on faulty reasoning. It's based on subjectivity and emotion.

Wonder how long 'til that "gender equality clause" in the Iraqi constitution disappears. This is awful....It is sooooo fucking wrong...I can't believe that anyone would follow any book or person that would suggest that women are in way less than a man....Women should be respected and their voice and opinions should be given the same weight of that of any man.....Oh Fuck!!!

If journalists have any doubts, or if they think it serves the public to further investigate, they might be well served to ask additional questions, such as who was intended to go to this school. Isn't that what journalism is supposed to be about? So let them ask the questions. I do not feel that this is a deliberate ploy by American military, but Julia obviously feels that this is likely to be a set-up. Interestingly, I was looking for such a reply, not necessarily from Julia, but because I know that this is the preferred attitude of several posters. And no, Julia, I am not following you around.

BlindUnknown -> RE: Girls school found rigged in Iraq (5/6/2007 1:56:20 PM)
surprised that his comment didn't cause as much a stir as the one "i dont trust the media" one On the subject of "it may have been Al-Qaeda", i believe the reasoning there is that this was something that required a lot of money, and bribery to pull off. the list of terrorist groups with resources to spare on something that will only piss most people off is probably Al-Qaeda, or the multitude of Shi'ite groups funded by Iran. Considering this is one of the Iraqi projects that THEY were going to be responsible for....Halliburton doesn't seem so bad right about now, honestly. And that is saying something.

quote: ORIGINAL: domiguy I am just as appalled by people who consider themselves to be on the right that will gladly be willing to sacrifice their own ethics or even "the truth" if it benefits "their" party or any notion that they feel is to be correct. Well, If I recall correctly WWI and II, the Korea and most of Veit Nam war were run by "left" administrations. I do not recall their party being all that open do you? Afterall the greatest serial killer in the history of the United States was Robert MacNamara, who for some ubkown reason is seen as and American icon of the left.

Rumtiger -> RE: Girls school found rigged in Iraq (5/6/2007 3:33:48 PM)
Personally, as the OP I just posted this because no matter my personal views on the war, I simply think some people need to die, case in point, bastards who want to blow up a bunch of kids. I think no matter what side we're on in the debate, we can at least agree that wanting to blow up little girls = fuck em, kill da fucks...right?

Vendaval -> RE: Girls school found rigged in Iraq (5/6/2007 3:38:56 PM)
You are going way off the topic of this thread and making sweeping generalization again, without sources to back you up. A serial killer and a former Secretary of Defense are two very different types of individuals. quote: ORIGINAL: FatDomDaddy Afterall the greatest serial killer in the history of the United States was Robert MacNamara, who for some ubkown reason is seen as and American icon of the left.

No, I am sorry but I am not. Robert MacNamara not only allowed but designed a war plan that led to the wholesale slaughter of American servicemen on a scale so henious that he should be spoke of in terms of treason. The left always trots out Bush, Chaney and Rumsfeld for so called "War" crimes and ":Lies".... Sound a little hollow given what went befor them.

Vendaval -> RE: Girls school found rigged in Iraq (5/6/2007 5:11:24 PM)
You are missing the point here. The issue I am raising is not about Left and Right. It is about comparing a former Secretary of Defense with a criminal psychopath, namely, a serial killer. Politicians rarely have to get close to the battlefield and the mutilated bodies and corpses. A serial killer frequently prefers to be in the middle of the killing and dismemberment and defilement. Edited to add - And lest you jump to conclusion again, no, I am not defending neither McNamara nor his polices nor his war strategy.

I do not agree with your opinion, and I still stand behind the point if you find someone to be a liar some of the time, you cannot trust them.. Now I do not know if you trust liars, because you did not state that you do, but you seem to think it illogical that I do not. I just happen to see the world a little differently About courts, lets say just a regular person lies on the stand, a judge will admonish the jury to disregard their testimony, since you did not like the cop analogy, I think you might understand a more simplistic version of it Namaste edited to add, the quote thingy is not working right
