    Obviously the technology and weapons have changed, but how exactly did America free itself from the almighty British empire? Wasn't it through protracted insurgency? Did we not utilize guerilla tactics?

    Don't blame America GT, it is not her for the disaster she is heading to, you can only blame your leader and his corrupt cabal for that.

    No point trying to pull the "blame America first" crap on me, gworld, guerilla and TK because we just ain't going to buy your Bill O'Reilly Pocketbook inspired way of thinking. ;)

    Really? You have proof that a Colonel trained in chemical weapons is not a scientist? How did you come across this?

    I don't believe you can go much lower here. This is nothing short of absolute denial and selling out your fellow soldier to support your personal agenda.

    Yes.

    Offer you a cup of denial?

    I believe he could go lower. He could be a chickenhawk and support the war, and the death of his fellow soldiers from the sidelines, like you do.

    Yeah, after all, we're just dumb Americans over here. It's the illuminati!

    But, as long as you hate GWB, you can get a pass on that from other "Americans." ;)

    Nothing is too low for the anti-war crowd. They won't stand up to your anti-Americanism.

    Or, he could actually support his fellow soldiers. But when it comes to Colonels talking about WMD, well, he must be wrong, because he says so.

    Back in my day, we actually rooted for our country. Apparently times have changed.

    This isn't a game GTech. Real people are dying while you sit here and avoid giving your reason for not serving. Heck, we've even lowered the standard from you serving in the war your promote to wanting an excuse, but you can't even supply that.

    You talk big about winning, rooting, and freedom. But you don't back it up. Which at best makes you a cheerleading chickenhawk, not a patriot.

    Whoa! Where does it say he's trainied in chemical weapons? And to what extent? From what I've found, this is not the case... Please post your findings...


    You mean the "personal agenda" of saving American lives?


    Really? I think I display a logical argument, even when the debater on the other side continues to use fallacies, misleading statements, and turns to sarcasm when he is being challenged...


    No time; my fingers are busy coding for work on my laptop, and on my desktop they're debating with someone that wants to see more American troops killed...

    Country and government are two different things... Would you like to challenge me on that one?

    No doubt at all that there are a lot of dumb Americans, but there are dumb people from all countries so that particular line ain't holding much water is it. :rolleyes:

    As I have said a few times tonight, get the slippers off, swap them for some hard core boots and get out there and fight that there darn al-Qaeda!!!

    After all, instead of having troops in your own country it's better to have them out in Iraq trying to bring freedom to a country that Bush and his corrupt cabal would not give a f*ck about if it wasn't for the fact that it was the 2nd biggest oil rich country of the world.

    And don't try and say that anyone in the US really gives an A Hole about Iraqi's mate because I will not believe you.

    The only reason some believe in the BS war is because of the fear instilled upon them by the very scumbags you so resolutely support.

    Read the constitution. You're so outclassed tonight, it's embarrassing. And AGS hasn't even shone the light of the illuminati on you yet.

    He would not be before the Senate if he were not. I never said the article stated such. Not necessarily unlike when you openly stated he wasn't a scientist.

    No. The personal agenda of defeat at all cost.

    Yep!

    Incorrect again. I'm just not willing to sell my country out for defeat.

    While I support my country 100% (by trying to save American lives), I feel the politicians are damaging our country on many levels, including national security...

    Not a RP "troofer" hiding behind the Constitution again? Where in the Constitution does it suggest defeat and selling out America?

    Giving aid and comfort to a known terrorist supporter? Well, now we know. Nothing is too low for the anti-war crowd. Not even support of the enemy.

    I must admit, it's a challenge taking on three people who are determined for defeat. I've learned a lot though. All I have to do is declare I hate GWB and no longer support the troops, except for a defeat on their behalf, and I can virtually get away with saying anything! No more worrying about morals or values. Anything goes! Facts don't matter, only the message matters! kerry would be so proud!

    So is defeat the only option you are willing to entertain?

    Nope, saving American lives is always a victory... Unless you're a terrorist, but you're not, right?

    But you're saying a withdrawal is defeat, so a victory would mean leaving our troops there to continue this conflict, and die... So you're support the death of American's?

    Why is the death of more US Troops the only option that you'll entertain?

    Yup. :D

    He's getting pwned tonight, not another member of the crazy gang to be seen, not one! which is highly unusual as there are usually at least 5 of them at any one time.

    I think that if the crazy gang neglect GT again there will be a lot less "green rep lovin" going on and that is simply unacceptable if GT drops a green blob there will be hell to pay!!! :p


    Just like the terrorist Bush is losing some of his closest friends is the same happening to GT? Are the rats starting to leave the sinking ship? :(

    Saving lives is a given. Is defeat the only option you will entertain? In other words, defeat today, or victory four months from now?

    Incorrect. I've repeatedly stated I'm not against a withdrawl. I'm against anti-war nuts, liberal democrats and people who don't know if they are a liberal, republican, demcrat or member of the illuminati declaring such as a defeat. Like Harry Reid did.

    Am I to presume you support a defeat for your country? At all cost?

    It's not. I just won't sell our country out at any cost or align myself with terrorist supporters to achieve nothing short of defeat.

    Do you believe most soldiers want the same defeat you do?
