Well you claimed to accept my apology when I gave none. I was just returning the anti-favor. |

In order to do that (truly) you should have opted not to post anything. |

Perhaps if I wanted to kowtow. Which I do not. |

You missed my point--again. If you want to do something 'anti,' then you need either to move backward in time or use some means that nearly replicates the axiom--e.g., posting nothing (as opposed to posting something). |

Nor did I. Though the reenforcements may be (replacements for casalties taken so far). |

Gee, I didn't realize that there were 3000-5000 American casualties. |

That figure can be misleading. Soldiers who receive only minor wounds are treated and then sent back to their units. How much of that number is a result of one soldier being wounded multiple times? |

OK - how many troops (foreign and American) have been permanently incapacitated as a consequence of their involvent in the Iraq War to date ? I have heard claims of several thousand - who have been discharged as a consequence and who are in hospital or undergoing recovery, though I can't put my fingers on the source. (at present) If the casalties are low - why is there no mention of the figures in the press ? |

No. My use of "red shirts" was the same as in Star Trek. I was being cynical about the continued casualities being suffered at the hands of an incompetent administration. I don't see what good additional troops are if they end up dead... |

Bring some evidence and I'll consider this to be more then a waste of bandwidth.
You're full of crap you know that? Go ahead and make fun of the soldiers so you can make a jab at Bush. While you're at it, why don't you make fun of the families who have lost loved ones or the people who have HAD THEIR HEADS CUT OFF! You disgust me. |
