No it does not leave your name, that is part of the problem, others can leave your name on a RED or negative comment and make it look like it came from you just to stir up trouble between two folks involved in the debate. Someone gave Minstrel a RED and put my name on it and I do not even have voting power.
Indeed, as a 'what if' it leaves too many questions unanswered. However, if they are 'enemy combatants', and there is enough evidence to bring them in for interrogation (and yes, it would be that rather than questioning) then if out of the interrogation you get more information (which admittendly may not be using in a court of law due to the nature of how you got said information), then I think we both know exactly how the security services would handle it (not within the law that's for sure).
It doesn't say, unless they leave their name. If you say you didn't, I take your word for it. I was enjoying the debate. You have some good points, much better points and rationale behind your positions, than most I've debated here. I enjoy a good debate, even if it's heated. The opportunity to debate something besides "Bush broke into my garage and stole my can of 10w40" is rare. Appreciate the good spirt and nature.
Yeah OK GTech, if not for that you would not be known around these parts so count yourself lucky man. I never said anything about Moonbats or WD 40 that is your crap, don't put it on me man, I might sic Minstrel on you if you keep it up PS: Just because you have no ground to stand on in the Oil War debate does not mean you have to be bitter GTech
well I never, I've never really looked in the user control panel. So hadn't noticed the rep stuff. /me will have to remember to add my name to any reps and leave rep for posts I enjoy. One things' for sure, I'll never leave a bad rep for some one who simply has a different opinion than my own - they're as entitled to their opinion as I am to mine.
Perhaps that's where we differ. I could care less about the rights of a terrorist. After all, they are here to kill me, my family, my way of life and my fellow countrymen. I'm sure you'll understand that I have absolutely no concern for their perceived rights. I have faith that better men than I, will do the right thing and protect our country from those that wish to do us harm. And they are doing just that. Until I see evidence otherwise, my opinion is not going to change based on 'what ifs'.
Would those better men happen to be those in the Air Force that are raping women there or the one's guarding Abu Grave Prison GTech Face it man, this is just as bad and more dangerous than Vietnam and we are being laughed at by the Russians, the EU and China GTech and we will not hold that ground in the end as China and Russia will continue to send in weapons as payback for past wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam. This nation is already in deep debt and Bush will drive it into bankruptcy unless he makes a deal with NATO to get us out quick. The EU knows this and they are not going to let Bush off easy.....
I'm not bitter at all I know the United Nations and over 270 corrupt world leaders, businessmen and countries were bought out with saddam's oil money. I know the United Nation's vote was bought off. I know what countries stood to loose the most from the oil for food program by voting to go to war. These are a matter of public record. I know who the real oil thieves are, I don't have to make up stories to try and pass the blame off where it doesn't belong.
Why are you defending policy that is ruining the economy and this nation then Mothers do not want to send their kids to fight Halliburton's war GTech, can't you get that We are in debt up to our ass already and need to get out of Iraq, understand this, these are facts GTech
No. I would never group all of the "better men" into such a small category of people that did something wrong, the way you are. Abu was isolated. The few responsible are paying for their crimes, where the men of saddam were encouraged to do far worse and paid to do so. But it's rare you see outrage over the enormous attrocities commited there or by saddam. A few select prefer paint everyone with that very small brush. I'm flatter that you pretend to be concerned about laughter from China and Russia, but I suspect they have their own agendas to tend to. You are probably missing good media coverage lately about how well things are going and how the terrorists are attacking far less today (because of our efforts to eradicate them). It's not all doom and gloom. I know you prefer that, but it's not.
I'd like you to Google me up some cool facts showing me just where Nixon was impeached. Do that, and I am going to give you a green rep every single time the board allows me too! Keep em' coming.. Funny stuff!
Get it through your head GTech that the guys over there want OUT, there were 3 car bombs today and an American is on TV held hostage with guns pointed at his head because he is a servant of Halliburton. I guess you will never see the truth
Who says I am? I'm not the one defending the rights of terrorists here. I'm not the one that pretends the real oil thieves are not the UN. If this is Halliburton's war (was Bosnia Halliburton's war under Clinton? I know....you won't address that and ignore it), the that whole conspiracy theory was a huge flop. Haliburton stocks are down and their profit margin is about 2.x percent. I'd call that a huge failure, if in fact what you suggested were true. But it's not, and we've covered in detail many times. I can help you with the information, but I can't help your will to accept the truth. I think it's rather sad you would just leave them there to fight these terrorists from Jordon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and other surrounding countries. But then by doing that, it would be a failure. Perhaps the thought of failure at all cost is what you prefer? That's fairly common for Democrats.
With the obcession with impeachment, I'm surprised Anthony has to go so far back in history. Wasn't there a more recent impeachment? If impeachment is a valid concern, why does Anthony ignore that one?
As the main contractor to support the military with an open ended contract with no money limits on it they are all Halliburtons wars GTech.
Well this turned into a lively discussion. With a 5-to-1 read to post ratio at that. I suppose this means terrorism is still a hot button issue for people.
GTech, we don't differ as much as you may think. Suspected terrorists do have rights - all suspects have rights regardless of what they're suspected of. If you've got proof that they are terrorists then you take them through the courts, if you got that proof through interrogation then you deal with them in a military manner. If you interogate them and don't get the proof you want/need, then you have to let them go - that's the game - and then you wait for the shit storm. You want proof: you interrogate, humiliate, whatever, but must never get caught. If you get caught, you make sure it's never the people who gave the orders that takes the rap - no one will ever witness those orders being given, thus no one could ever prove that they were given. I'm not defending what happened to prisoners in Iraq (far from it), but if it is really is a war then that shit happens - it's just no idiot is supposed to take pictures and the person wouldn't normally be able to talk about it afterwards.
