		<description>The lesson of Vietnam is to not lie the American people into a war we don&#039;t need to fight. The same is true of Iraq. Iraq is in a civil war just like Vietnam had an unbeatable guerrilla war. We didn&#039;t leave Vietnam soon enough and it cost us too many American lives. We are making the same mistake in Iraq. The mistake in Vietnam like in Iraq is not getting out sooner enough.</description>

&quot; But for the first time, exasperated front-line U.S. generals talk openly of non-democratic governmental alternatives, and while the two top U.S. officials in Iraq still talk about preserving the country&#039;s nascent democratic institutions, they say their ambitions aren&#039;t as &quot;lofty&quot; as they once had been. &quot;Democratic institutions are not necessarily the way ahead in the long-term future,&quot; said Brig.

		<description>&gt;Sheâ€™s right here reading this, why donâ€™t you ask her?
&gt;- O. Bigfoot 

I don&#039;t know what&#039;s more pathethic, the possibility that your like most trolls here, pretending to be people they arent (lawyers, soldiers, PhD holders), or the alternate possibility that you truly do have 5 children and are actually  sitting on your high and mighty moral pedestal/keyboard, thinking you and your dreams of nuclear genocide are the pinnacle of ethical thinking. 

Go outside, spend some time with your kids. Your obviously a very unhappy person if you have five little ones, and a wife and you actually need to spend time arguing on the internet just to pretend like your actually doing something for your cause. You think what your masters tell you to think. Saddam is bad. Except when he killed the muslims we wanted him to kill.
There is nothing america cannot accomplish. America is magic. America can make Iraq a different sort of democracy than the one the Palestinians elected. yah yah... the proof is in the pudding. Your such a smart guy, with such good judgements, why dont you make some predictions about world events for the next few years, and lets see how many of them come true. Because so far, the people you support are batting about &quot;zero&quot; when it comes to iraq.. hopefully you&#039;ve got better judgement than them.</description>

		<description>Does anyone feel a DRAFT???

A couple of weeks ago, a Republican floated a trial baloon over reinstating the military draft.

Now, Bush draws a comparison between his Iraq War and the Vietnam War, with the one major difference being that we had a military draft back then, while today&#039;s military is all-volunteer.

I think these two events, though weeks apart, are connected.

And corresponds with the recent Bush/Cheney-generated hysteria associated with their wanting to attack Iran and today&#039;s &quot;leak&quot; that this attack will occur within the next six months.

If this attack does occur, then I foresee not only a draft being called for due to the expansion of Bush&#039;s war beyond Iraq&#039;s borders, but I also foresee the collapse of the U.S. economy sometime early next year, brought on not only by Bush/Cheney insanely attacking Iran, but also by their calling for martial law nationwide, shortly after any retaliatory attack by the Iranians inside the United States.

This is the chain of events I see happening unless Bush and Cheney are stopped. Impeach them both NOW. Save our country.</description>

		<description>Based on psychiatric examination of his mannerisms and behavior over the past seven years, Bush has repeatedly time and time again proven himself  mentally unstable, completely out of touch with reality and unfit to serve as commander-in-chief of the united states armed forces.   He and Cheney are endangering our nation.

Either they immediately step down willingly, or we the people impeach them both for war crimes.

Your move &#039;loyal bushies&#039;.</description>

Leaflets said to warn of Iran move into north Iraq

SULAIMANIYA, Iraq (Reuters) - Kurdish authorities in northeastern Iraq said on Tuesday they were investigating the authenticity of leaflets warning villagers to evacuate ahead of an Iranian military offensive against Kurdish rebels.

Hundreds of villagers have fled their homes in Iraq&#039;s mountainous northeast while others hid in caves after what local authorities said was days of intermittent shelling by Iran across the border.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;So are we to assume that bombing the Vatican (just a hypothetical bombing), or Jerusalem, would force the worldâ€™s Christians to rethink their faith?
&lt;/i&gt;

Muslims try the latter all the time!

It is time the Mutual Assurance Doctrine was extended to Al Qaeda, wherever they may hide.</description>

		<description>Whatever you say, Gurrl...but I think you are really overanalyzing this thing...

I never said anything relating to disrupting things here.  I said I am here to provide a reality check.  You folks preaching to the choir give you a sense of power you really do not have.  The same people, saying the same outrageous kook nonsense, unchecked, makes you all think you really mean something.

Fact is, most folks don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s about what is said here.  It&#039;s all time wasting entertainment.  I don&#039;t care for video games, so here I am.  Apparently, for a good part of the day, some of you have nothing better to do as well.

At the same time, you all need to realize that your wild conspiracy theories and kook liberal nonsense doesn&#039;t really play in the mainstream.  Not everyone thinks like you.

I apoligize if this frustrates you all when Pelosi and Reid and the rest of the Democrats (and America as well) don&#039;t cowtow to your wishes, but they know where their bread is buttered.</description>

		<description>Ooo  AVGVSTVS, 

There you go with your chill pill again. Go to Hot Air where they don&#039;t have any sense and won&#039;t challenge you. They like to talk about killing people there - you&#039;ll be far more comfortable chillin&#039; with them, dude.</description>

		<description>O. Bigfoot,

You admit to being here to disrupt, and that is an aggressive maneuver on your part. It is also destructive - you do nothing to build your position up, you exist only to tear other positions down to your level. 
But that does not work here. You see, we all know what you&#039;re doing - it might be the kind of thing to do that is entertaining to you, and to Bill O&#039;Reilly, your hero, to mislabel and misjudge people, to call them traitors, or members or the KKK to &quot;stir things up&quot; but that is a sickness that he has and for some reason, trolls have as well.

I have never had the desire to go to a conservative website to disrupt their conversation, it would be disrespectful and unproductive. Why waste my time? Your rants, and the rants of other trolls are so transparent and do nothing but strengthen our positions. And are you that delusional to think that you are an evangelist for the conservative cause here on TP? That all we need to do is hear your words and we too will be saved? I think you are, and you are not doing this to amuse yourself.</description>

		<description>Once again BigO (sorry, it won&#039;t let me post your full moniker) I ask a simple, two part, question.

Explain again please how keeping our military bogged down in a pointless (to put it kindly) occupation of a foreign country makes us safer. Perhaps Iâ€™m missing something?

And how would nuking anyone make our troops jobs easier?

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.</description>

		<description>NO AVGVSTVS.

You are unbelievably naive and undeniably demented, not to mention you have no ability to realize how devastating the results would be in carrying out such a boneheaded action. 

I wouldn&#039;t put you in charge of cleaning out a cat&#039;s litter box.</description>

		<description>&quot;Sites like Thinking Progress, Crook and Liars, Media Matters, Daily Kos, to name just a few, have made a significant difference. 

These trolls jump on to vent their anger at the progressives here in the comment section who chose to discuss the stories with other progressives. But they disrupt our conversations and when we call them on it - they say â€œtake a chill pillâ€. Or attack us.

The bottom line is, theyâ€™re afraid. And they should be.

Comment by RagingGurrl â€” August 22, 2007 @ 10:16 pm&quot;

No, the reason we are here is because you people are so full of yourselves you need a reality check once in a while.

Fact is, the majority have never heard of the lib blogs you list.  The only reason Daily Kos is now more well known is because Bill O&#039;Reilly took them on his national show and got some of their sponsors to wise up.  The rest of them are &quot;also rans&quot;.

I don&#039;t come here out of any anger at all, as you do.  I come here for entertainment purposes mostly.  I have fun reading the claptrap and kook liberal nonsense, and then I stir the pot just to see what outrageous stuff you nutroots will say next.  If I can stir enough, maybe Bill O. will mention some of it on TV, that would be a hoot!

Either way, it&#039;s fun for me to stomp around once in a while.  I know I am right, and I am completely comfortable with my beliefs.  I grew out of my &quot;liberal&quot; phase in Junior High School, when I got a job and had to manage my own money and life.  I couldn&#039;t afford to be a liberal anymore when I didn&#039;t have someone else&#039;s money to spend.  And I certainly never had it in me to try to run someone else&#039;s life, so conservative I am.</description>
