Reply #52: Saw a Reuters (maybe AP) photo in the paper yesterday [View All]

2 soldiers had a teen cornered in what looked like an Iraqi 7-11. They wewre "questioning" him about some "gunfire" they heard. I'll bet their command of the Iraqi tok-tok was maybe as good as the kid's English. Of course, what I noticed was that both soldiers had their fingers inside the trigger guards on their M-16's and THAT is "the universal language"..

As for your statement of being there "in about a year"...Count on it, Blackjack, count on it.And if your kids want to follow in Dad's footprints, count on THEM being there, too.

And as far as "good news" goes, WHAT "good news"? that Saddam is no longer in the school books? They have new school books? how many of our inner-city schools HERE could use new books? Saddam's face is off the "new" money? (I gotta question, is Schrub's picture on the new notes?) Yeah, we're supposed to "talk up the SUCCESS", but I can't see how having 2 or more US soldiers killed every day in a place we had no damn business going in the first place can be catagorized as "success"...


Now, before you get "tombstoned" as the dispuptor you are, answer me this:
How would YOU react if oh, say French troops were occupying YOUR town and hassling YOUR wife and YOUR kids....Hmmmm?

Go on, Blackjack, TELL us.

What? they didn't put THAT in that little "Talking Points" booklet the issue you guys?
