Guest Tyler McClelland Report post Posted March 20, 2003 You were the one who started the personal attacks with your bullshit rhetoric. It's incredibly and undeniably insulting to assume that a person of a certain ideological belief would be SADDENED by the fact that thousands of troops may be saved by a precision strike. Go spew your bullshit elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JDMattitudeV1 Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Hopefully, although it'd doubtful, they got Saddam, so this mess can be over without any allied casualties, and we can get on with our lives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted March 20, 2003 A mod can just merge the two topics. Are you sure about that? (*apologizes for interrupting the flow of the topic*) Yeah. Do you want me to merge something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted March 20, 2003 It's not up to me since I'm only here to read the thread and not respond (I hardly get involved in CE). They were two compliments about another topic being created when there was already a pinned one, and I was just simply pointing out that both topics could be merged.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 As if I'm not right. As if someone like, for example, Daschle, wouldn't come off looking especially bad (worse than he already is) for blasting the President (oops - he's "saddened", need to get my terminology correct) for failing in diplomacy, and then the President turns around and wins the war with one single attack. Maybe, maybe not. But right now, I'm more concerned about the young men on the ground. Not the rich cats back in Washington playing political games and at ease that their kids are in some high-up school and far away from the conflict. As far as I am concerned, the talking heads, the politicians, and even Boy George are rather irrelevant right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was wondering whether something was commenting on something else, because I couldn't find what they were actually talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Do you want me to merge something? Merging the two threads would make things confusing. How about just making this the sticky thread? We've seem to have adopted it as the new "Start of War" thread. We kinda need to flush and start anew with our war threads every week or so anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Yeah, now they're trying to get some troops to salute over a webcam. I think it's time to switch. EDIT: Crap. The non-news networks are back to their usual stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heard on the radio about 1,000 U.S. troops are now launching raids in Afghanistan against Al-Queda terrorists. Maybe they'll get lucky, and we can get bin Laden as well.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted March 20, 2003 Well, Major US television news outlets are fairly worthless right now. These guys are so off-kilter their anchors are second-guessing and half-assing the whole thing. Foxnews just had a headline at the bottom reading "300,000 coalition troops surround Iraq" "17 Iraqi soldiers surrender" while Shep Smith comments on how that info must be wrong, causing me to guffaw quite loudly. CNN's anchor is blabbing the same stupid guestimations and blatherings over and over again and constantly switching to the wrong correspondents or ones with nothing really to say. Ugh. We need Vince McMahon to start his own war-covering news agency with live helmet-cams and action replays with bullet time. He'll show these fockers how to cover a war.
