And I'm curious...why do you so often fall back on sarcasm and insults when you disagree with someone?
I think it hit the tragedy level when I saw the bodies of Kuwaiti citizens hung from the booms of construction equipment in 91...

Geez,
What an optimist you are....4,000?????

LOLOLOLOL

I really don't disagree with most people. As a matter of fact we are probably closer in philosophy than you think.....it's that mean political animal in me that makes me lash out and
wanna argue.

I fall back on insults and sarcasm when I see someone posts something like WE USED CHEMWEPS IN IRAQ - I am sure someone like an embedded journalist would have seen and reported that fact.

I'd like to see someone, anyone, post two articles verifying that story, first it was napalm, then chemweps.

Next it will be a story about our mistreatment of prisoners of war at a prison I can't spell...

Again,
If MM is such a documentarian, purveyor of truth and a real American, why did he sit on the Abu Ghraib story IF he had it in his paws???

Did he choose filthy lucre over conscience?
Self promotion over selflessness?
Or was he confused about what he was looking at?.

Yep, some news outlets had the same story and sat on it.....But MM, the honest guy that he is, did not want to be accused of self promotion for his shockumentary-but he did choose to put the clip of the guy getting his package grabbed thru the blanket in the movie.

Were you properly shocked and aghast at some of the pictures of those bodies???

Where were the pictures of American men and women who were wounded and mained?

Instead we get interviews with soldiers saying the
play rock music while they kill people....

What's wrong with Celine Dion??


One of the most powerful pictures I saw in the last month was the Marine at Reagan's funeral...
You may have seen him, James E. Wright.

He lost both his hands in Iraq, won a Bronze Star in the process, put on his uniform and went to view the casket....

Most of us would have said p!ss on it.....I'm done, it's over...and sat done to have a proper pity party, what do you think drove this kid to
put on the uniform of his country, the country that sent him to lose his hands in a foreign country, and go out in public to honor a dead president.

It wasn't a Micheal Moore 'movie'.

Sarcasm??

Sometimes that's the only way I can get an answer.

Sometimes I am wrong.

I do have my globe upside down in the holder, it gives me an different outlook on the world and sometimes it makes more sense.

Now if you can get me a story about the United States using chemical weapons against Iraqi citizens I'll apologize to you.

Really!
