For a good reason, they are positive..

Interesting to say the least. Wonder why you don’t hear that we captured these Foreign Nationals, or killed these bomb makers, or found these hundreds of weapons caches. Or best one of them all, over 4500 tips to Coalition forces. Hmmm MSM failing to research or just don’t want anything positive to get out? You be the judge.

To me the MSM doesn't just ignore statistics, they ignore facts, truth, competence and anything resembling professional standards or ethics.

If paramedics got it wrong as often as the MSM then I bet the "reporters" would be all over the story of the total failure EMS in the U.S. would be.

The fact is, the MSM is so incompetent that if they report an actual "fact" it is purely by accident... and I'm sure heads would roll!

Sorry dude,
He said something extremely provocative and you responded.
He did it twice more and even told you what he was doing and you smacked the lure both times.



Just ignore the trolls. They'll just get bored and go away.

Then maybe you can explain why the US bodycount is rising every month?

In the Vietnam War, the military was well know for including civilian casualties with the NVA or VietCong. Capured foreign nationals etc has no meaning unless you can prove they are insurgent fighters or terrorist. Further, a couple of guys a month is meaningless if you dont know the exact number of fighters or terrorist operating in the country. And how many of these tip offs are actually useful?

Actually the bodycount is not rising. Its not a steady thing, some months are worse then others. As a whole they are going down. Secondly do you realize we have had fewer casulties during three years of this conflict than in each of the following peacetime years! 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983,1984,1985,1986. I was in from 84-87.

They estimate the Terrorist total at about 20,000, and foreign nationals making up about 2000 of those, of the Suicide Attacks though they estimate that 90% of all suicide attacks are carried out by foriegn terrorist. Interesting don't you think? Guess Iraqi Terrorist are not as willing to die for a cause as the foriegners are. And maybe thats why 7 of the terrorist groups are now wanting to talk to the government and get involved in it.

The cause for the drop in the number of foriegn terrorist being caught is being attributed to two things, 1, they are blowing themselves up and not being replaced as fast as they were (no wonder) and 2, the borders are being secured bette than our own here at home. .

Oh and the number of actionable tips, (those that they can act on and do and get something from it) was at 80% last time I checked. I have written a few articles on this check back on some of my other post.

1) Iraq kicks out weapons inspectors, fires missiles at US military jets and violates other signed agreements after Gulf War I.

Action: President Clinton fails to execute Sadam Hussein using missiles fired from US warships. (Which was against international law enacted by President Carter.)

Action: President Bush gave Sadam the option to leave Iraq peacefully or else. Sadam choose or else. President Bush gave the government of Iraq a peaceful option, which they did not choose.

2) Bin Laden is a known high-level terrorist. Funding and training terrorists.

Action: President Clinton fails to assassinate Bin Laden.(Which was an act of war committed on Afghanistan by firing a salvo of missiles from US warships.)

Action: President Bush demands the Taliban hand over Bin Laden after 9/11 to avoid war. A peaceful solution.
Taliban refuse to turn over terrorist Bin Laden. President Bush calls for invading the terrorist-accommodating nation of Afghanistan, removes the oppressive Taliban and hunts for Bin Laden in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

3) Terrorists attack The WTC, two American embassies and one US Navy warship.

Action: President Clinton does nothing.

Action: President Bush announces to the world, any nation that aids or abets terrorists will have deadly consequences.

4) Rwanda genocide and holocaust 1993-1994. Lt Gen Romeo Dallaire of UN mission in Rwanda asks President Clinton for help. About 5,000 US soldiers needed would avert a disaster (Jan. 1993)

Action: President Clinton does nothing. President Clinton’s advisors ask how many people have been killed? Is it really genocide? Resulting in the 3rd worst human genocide in the history of the world. 800,000 Rwandan men, woman and children butchered alive with machetes.

Action: President Bush can’t do anything, the death and destruction is over in less than a year in Rwanda. “Never again” was a popular statement after WWII holocaust.

Note: The 2nd worst genocide took place during 1977 – 1980. President Carter did nothing while 2,000,000 Cambodians were tortured, murdered, suffocated and starved to death. Suffocated by plastic bags placed over their heads while the victim’s hands were tied. Bullets cost too much.

In 1979 President Carter was busy planning the great ” bus ride” military mission into Iran to free the US hostages in Tehran.

Ronald Regan when asked “What will he do if the hostages are not released if he becomes President. President Regan’s response “The Iranians will suffer grave consequences if I am elected President.”

The hostages are released the day Ronald Regan is sworn in as President.

5) Panama. President Noreiaga is labeled by President Clinton as a drug dealer.

Action: President Clinton orders the US armed forces to invade and occupy the sovereign country of Panama. He uses the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines to arrest a high-level drug dealer. President Clinton has committed an act of war and occupied the sovereign country of Panama. Mission success.

Action: President Bush no action needed. President Clinton has successfully arrested a drug peddler.

6) The country of Haiti is on the brink of a revolution. President of Haiti gets ousted, looting and civil disobedience follows.

Action: President Clinton orders US armed forces to invade and occupy Haiti. Order is some what restored. US armed forces are still caught in the quagmire of Haiti today. Two presidents have been elected in Haiti, but the occupation continues. Over 10 years of occupation. Longest occupation of a foreign country by US armed forces since Vietnam.

Action: President Bush wants to follow the with drawl plan drafted by President Clinton. But he can’t find it. Maybe it is under the desk of the Oval office.

7) Yugoslavia conflict, Kosavo War, Bosnia

Action: President Clinton orders US armed forces to act as peacekeepers under UN command. UN peacekeepers do nothing while war crimes are committed in front of their eyes. Eventually someone inside the UN steps up and allows the UN to use force. Too little to late. About 200,000 civilians are killed in the conflict/civil war because the UN did nothing. This action brings an end to the war and genocide. The US armed forces under the guise of the UN have invaded and occupied four republics of Yugoslavia under President Clinton.

Action: President Bush can’t do anything because he not Commander and Chief of armed forces during conflict.


8) Yugoslavia and Slobodan Miloševiæ.

Action: President Clinton accuses Slobodan Miloševiæ of war crimes and demands he be turned over to face charges. Slobodan Miloševiæ ignores demands. President Clinton conducts bombing campaign targeting civilians and civilian targets. IE. Yugo factory, steel mills and hospitals. Also bombs Chinese embassy killing Chinese personal and which by international laws is an act of war against China. The country of Yugoslavia is bombed to kingdom come. Eventually the Yugoslavia military hands over Slobodan Miloševiæ. Mission accomplished. Apology issued to the Chinese.

Action: President Bush can’t do anything because he not Commander and Chief of armed forces during Yugoslavia war. In all fairness, during Gulf War II Chinese embassy is not bombed and civilian targets are avoided. President Bush uses ground forces instead of bombing the coutry to kingdom come. Sadam is eventually apprehended. Along with the other thugs that brutally ruled the country for 30 years.

9) Somolia, people are starving and thugs are intercepting food shipments at various ports of entry. Humanitarian missions ask for UN military help.

Action: President Clinton approves the use of US miltary forces under the guise of the UN. Instead of protecting food shipments to the starving people in the country, the military gets bogged down in Mogadishu. The thugs/terrorists use urban warfare to their advantage and chase the UN military out of Somolia. President Clinton becomes famous for his “cut and run” military strategy. Mission failed. Millions of people starve to death.

Action: President Bush is not comandeer and chief of the US armed forces.

I've also managed to consistently miss the national news reports of the new government that is forming. You know, the one the left said would never come together?
