Okay. I'll stop feeding the Troll.

[quote]BAGHDAD, Iraq(AP) Five blasts in Iraq, including at least four suicide bombings, killed at least 12 people Saturday as Shiite Muslim worshippers around the country celebrated the holiest day of the year. The attacks came one day after a string of bombings killed at least 36 people.

Saturday's attacks, during the religious festival of Ashoura, came despite stepped-up security around the country. [u]Authorities had hoped to prevent a repeat of last year's attacks during Ashoura, in which insurgents killed at least 181 people in twin blasts in Karbala and Baghdad.[/u]
At least four blasts were suicide bombings, while the fifth occurred inside a public bus in Baghdad, killing at least one child and five adults. The bus was stopped in the northern Kadhimiya neighborhood, which is predominantly Shiite, but there were no further details on the explosion or casualties.[/quote]This is the enemy the US is fighting.

exactly. Open your eyes and ears and please understand that these terrorists are women children- all sorts of people- killers. They kill people at funerals, they kill them going to work, at play, riding a bus, walking on the street, in a store. They kill them anywhere and anyhow they can. They kidnap and kill contracters that are trying to rebuild the country's inferstructer. Open your eyes mister phatmasser777 to the REAL enemy. You're hate speach against the US military makes you look as if you side with the killers of women and children. Its one thing to disagree weather or not we should be in Iraq- its another to call our troops baby killers and savages like the scum that we flushed out of fulujah.

Thank you.

Curtins, just a suggestion but sometimes you might want to consider spell-checking.

Ok, we are SOOOOO not starting the spell-checking war again.

Or the gramatical war.


If you need clarity on a post please ask.

[quote name='Catholictothecore' date='Feb 18 2005, 10:57 AM'] This is tragic. But the army did what it needed to do. Do you think it would be any differant if the tides were turned? Do you think the Iraqis "insurgents" would hesitate murdering thousands of Americans? We know they wouldn't. (a little showed this; it was called 9/11, I believe. And yes, those weren't iraqis but they were not our friends, and perhaps would've sided with the iraqis.) [/quote]
What in the ****. If this story was true, which I don't even remotely believe, even if I am against the war, then what you just said is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. Killing unarmed civilians and tricking them into thinking they will be freed and then shooting them is not doing "what it needed to do" And who cares if the tides were turned? What is right does not depend on who is in power. Also, just because the Iraqi ""insurgents"" would do that, doesn't mean we should. And you call yourself a Catholic. You may be, but you sure aren't an intelligent one.

And as for this article, I highly doubt it. While it may be argued that the war, our nation, and our soldiers are imperialists and warmongers and whatever else, the army does not purposefully kill civilians for no reason, especially ours. Not only that, but this source,and all the others listed, are not credible. Why havn't we heard about this before? It happened months ago.

I just thought I would post this, after reading the rest of this thread. There has not been an intelligent post in here this whole time. At all. I am not even kidding. Is it too hard to ask you guys, on both sides of the argument, to use your brains?

Iiiinteresting... So, there literally hasn't been an intelligent post, at all? Even the post just before? Well, that was your post, so I guess you are contributing to the idiocy of the thread? Or maybe your post was an example of how people aren't using their brains, since it seems quite silly to say that no posts were intelligent, because that would include your own posts.
It's sorta like the town barber who cuts everyone's hair who doesn't cut his own hair. But then, does he cut his own hair or not?

You know what I meant, and if you don't, you are are just proving my point.

[argent_paladin]

Ah, so what you meant was "There are no intelligent posts... except mine of course, but that goes without saying." Yeah, that's not arrogant at all. Could it be, perchance, that YOU might be wrong rather than the dozens of people who posted on this thread? But of course not, you are the only intelligent one one on this thread, likely in all of Phatmassdom. O, may your huge intelligent brain save the rest of us from our ignorance and stupor!
And how, exactly, does saying "you are all dum-dumheads!!" add to the discussion? Swooping in and calling everyone else ignorant isn't usually a good way to encourage a high level of discussion. So maybe you were speaking the truth when you called your own posts unintelligent.

[crusader1234]

Knock it off please. You're both new and it would be nice if you both never had to learn about big bad red writing

[MichaelFilo]

This really is a just an awful story. No backed evidence. Anyways, although save Ferris 101 did say something awfully arrogant, his first post was almost right on the spot. Even if this story is false, it's never right to say it's righ tto murder people after tricking them... that makes me sick. You should consider what your saying and your audience. That comment doens't even begin to get close to Christian compassion. Some of us do have innoecent family members in that war. I'd appreciate the slaughter them all comments to cease.

May God aid all the innocent in the war, since God is the only reliable source of aid and comfort. May God watch over both sides of this war and punish the vil comming from either side.

God bless,
Mikey

hahaha. the problem is verifying that it's more than just a story.

Ever hear of Maria Monk? Alberto Rivera? Also first-hand accounts. Also completely false.
