That was the best I could do![]()
The first four paragraphs or so are the only ones that matter.

. . .
But soldiers are doing those things they said. What, you just want to sweep such things under the carpet?
Both quotes refer to certain American soldiers killing (and sometimes raping) Iraqi civilians. Democrats, Republicans, other soldiers, generals, you, me, your mom, and everyone else should be against this.
It's not a party issue.
But it certainly is pandering to a specific base. VERY rarely do you hear good things out of their mouths about the 98% of soldiers that do none of those negative things.Originally Posted by archibaldcrane
If I tried to count the number of times I've heard a politician say "I support our troops, our brave men and women in the field" my head would probably explode. It's like the first thing out of their mouths when the issue comes up, regardless of party.
The idea that you can't talk about the negative repercussions of illegal soldier activity without being "pandering to a specific base" is ludicrous.
Since when are we "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians?"
And obviously there are going to be cases where soldiers commit crimes, but I've seen nothing to the extent that John Kerry talked about there. That second paragraph of John Kerry's statement is pretty sketchy as well. If thats what soldiers are doing over there, and he knows about it, where are the charges? If our senators can centure Rush Limbaugh for practicing his right to free speech, (thats what they did right?) surely Senator Kerry can bring charges against American troops for the things he described.
And it took to long to find just those two statements, I am not going to bother trying to find the quotes where Hillary and Harry Reid made similar statements.
The first thing out of the mouths of Democratic Senators when General Patreus gave his report was that he was lieing.Originally Posted by archibaldcrane
So, basically you are saying "democratic leaders call troops terrorists, but I'm not going to provide ANY evidence to back this up". Neither passage you searched for said anything about troops being "terrorists".Originally Posted by SwampdonkeyPLD
There are hundreds of thousands of dead iraqi civilians in this conflict. This has serious ramifications. Failing to address this is failing to be a good leader.
If they didn't say "General Patreus is a terrorist" I don't want to hear it from you. Stop backpedaling.Originally Posted by SwampdonkeyPLD
Do you even understand what Obama said?
"BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."
Where in here is he saying that the troops are terrorists? He's saying that air raids and their inevitable collateral damage is harming the mission in Iraq.
Ladies and gentlemen, you must be this divorced from reality in order to be Republican.
I provided two quotes for two of the people I said that say our troops are terrorists. So no, I'm not saying "I'm not going to provide ANY evidence to back this up." I'm saying I will provide SOME evidence to back this up.Originally Posted by archibaldcrane
And your right they don't specifically call our troops terrorists. But Obama did say they are "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians." What do you refer to someone who does that lol? And what do you refer to someone who does what John Kerry said?
Jesus christ just shut the fuck up, you insult to human intelligence.
You owned me with the logic in your argument.Originally Posted by Kuya
