Which of you can answer from firsthand experience:
– What's the President doing today?
– What's the President doing tomorrow?
– What's going on at the Pentagon now? Who's doing it?
– What's your governor doing today?
– What's your state legislature doing?

Can't answer can you. That's how little you know. And extrapolate that out to all similar questions including what each of your family members is doing right now and you won't know that either.

Same questions for each of the last 30 days… you can't answer those either.

The only way you can have these political conversations is by regurgitating a pitifully small number of partial "facts" and then editorializing wildly on them.

How about these questions:

– What are you doing right now?
– What are you going to do tomorrow?
– Why are you doing what you are doing?

The first you probably know. The second you can only guess. The third, if you really ask it, will keep you busy thinking for the rest of your life.

Which set of questions is more important the first or the second?

If you think the second, I would like to talk more to you…

So if you knew that all of us didnt truly know what was going on, and consider us foolish for debating things on here....

Why in the world did you bother to create an account and get on here in the first place??

I mean come on Will Hunting, I was half expecting a "how about them apples" type of B.S. speech from you.

Try to guess which one the security council is.

So your logic is that if we are not there, the number will go down... That makes perfect sense... not.

Lol. Have you met the average voter? I'd say less than a tenth of a percent of them even care, and a tenth of that actually go out and find out, and three fourths of those people probably work for him personally or plan to meet him that day. A person like you is in such a small minority that even if everyone in the world did figure this stuff out they would still not pick your side of the argument simply because you're soooo weird. What's more, you're not even convincing anyone of your ideologies, so you're pretty much wasting your time, our time, and talking about things that nobody cares about and saying things that will never get done. In the end, your fury will signify nothing, like the rest of you.

Here's 5 of them again, if you really think these facts are liberal crap you are either unbelievably ignorant or like many neocons, to wimpy to be able to handle the truth...which is it?

1) As of today 4076 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq (increasing death rate in recent weeks).

2) More than 29,000 have been wounded, with thousands suffering horrific injuries (did you see the news clip of the surviving soldier with nearly half his skull gone?)

3) The monthly cost of the Iraq war is around $12.5 billion a month according to a new book published by Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and co-writer Linda Bilmes with total cost estimated at $3 trillion if troops don't leave completely before 2017. ('$30-40 billion tops' and '60 - 90 day cakewalk' --- 'Donald Duck' Rumsfeld in 2003)

4) Somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 Iraqis have been killed since the invasion.
(so much for pro-life beliefs)

5) More than 4 million Iraqis have been displaced, 2 million of them to other countries, many of them in untenable economic and social situations.
-------

All five items listed above are FACTS, only my comment on pro-life beliefs is my opinion, the other 6 unlisted items are also facts, read the op.

Show us you are not ignorant by listing 5 facts that support the 'Iraq is a tremendous success' declaration by Mr. 'No Doubt'....facts not opinions. Oh yeah, overall deaths are down and Saddam Hussein is gone, 'tremendous success'? ... I don't think so. Give me 5 facts or are you too ignorant?

Default Mr. 'No Doubt' lied

[quote=BuckNaked;524006]If he was you can't prove he actually knew it was a lie so according to neo-con dictionary that means he didn't lie!

'No Doubt' Cheney said: 'There is no doubt Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.' He had no PROOF of this yet he said it, that's a lie. He said 'NO DOUBT' not 'he may have'. Note also that the CIA had no proof of it either, no one did because Saddam Hussein had no WMD, although some neocons still think they're buried out in the Iraqi desert somewhere, but you'll always have some dummies in the crowd.
