#4 “Jack the Ripper’, right, that really tells it all!

As to so-called “security firms”, they used to be called “private military companies” which was bad enough.

Why are fascist mercenary thugs used to protect American troops, including a general? Presumably that is a military duty.

How many of the mercenaries in this firm are South African, Chilean, Serbian, etc. former torturers and murderers in their countries?

More seriously though I hope the general and all the troops who get injured recover with no side effects. In modern war this is a rare occurance for a general to be wounded. Does anyone know if there have been any other US generals wounded since WWII? I can only think of General Rose in WWII, beyond that I am drawing a blank.

hahahaha. man, i seriously doubt that. TamponDon has shown zero reasoning skills, merely rehashing old right wing talking points over and over, and citing sources like that “opinion journal” thing which admit his allegations about Berger taking originals are merely speculation at best.
if he’d passed the bar in just about any state he’d know trying to present a case where your evidence consists solely of speculation will get you absolutely nowhere..

So you’re saying that almost 90% of the projects have been completed?

Hmmm. Is that why Baghdad has only two to three hours of electricity a day and it was reported that 60 to 80 percent of Iraqis don’t have safe drinking water which caused a recent outbreak of CHOLERA? Maybe the Iraqis haven’t heard the news. Don’t you do any trolling in Iraq?

Like I said in a previous post: TCDon couldn’t fool a grade school child!

I have only had one glass of wine in the last ten years. If my glass and your two bottles were to meet an untimely end we would both be in trouble. What any one thinks about an injury or death of one of our military is of little or no consequence. What is important is why they were injured or killed in the first place. I will guarantee that if General Dorko and all the other casualties of American troops, killed and wounded, were in the living room of their houses in the CONUS at the time watching Chef Ramsey kill the cockroaches they would not have been a statistic of the Iraq oil war. The cockroaches, you included if you support this “war,” commonly but not affectionately known as “bushco” are the entities guilty of assault and/or murder in the death or injury of our troops. That is not sarcasm, that is a non-refutable fact.

Why is it that pro-war people always ascribe bad motives to people who advocate peace?

This is sort of stupid don’t you think. Are you suggesting their are individuals who do not value the lives of others?
You fish with poor bait!

Truth serum?

Who is more to blame for his injury: those who were in favor of the invasion and occupation or the progressives (like me and RHF) who were opposed to them?

My apologies to you. My sources have informed me that you have passed the bar exam. I misunderstood and I thought they said you had passed a bar. Judging (pun intended) from your staggering comments I would submit that you haven’t passed very many bars. And that, my friend, is sarcasm!

By all measurements, the Iraqis were far far better off before our illegal invasion and occupation—water, sewage, healthcare, electricity, transport, infrastructure, etc., etc.

It is officially the #2 failed state in the world. One in eight children die before the age of five. One million have died violently. I would think the figure of 4.5 million refugees would tell you something.

When asked, the Iraqis say they were far better off before we came in and want us out ASAP. The majority agree with attacks on our troops. You probably would too if you put yourself in their shoes.

What’s going to happen in December 2008 if the Iraqis very likely order the US out and make oil deals with Iran, Russia, and China?
