Beaudry Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 And how long did WWII take? I'm sure that you have a point, but I'm sure that it is stupid and meaningless. If you want to know you can just google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 This is an honest question. At this point, what good is it doing americans to stay in this seemingly unwinnable situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Numbers are fun Iraqi civilians killed this year by ISLAMIC Terrorists 10,652 Iraqi civilians killed collaterally by Americans 71* More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined. (source) Islamic terrorists murder more people every day than the Ku Klux Klan has in the last 50 years. (source) More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland. (source) 19 Muslim hijackers killed more innocents in two hours on September 11th than the number of American criminals put to death in the last 65 years.

Beaudry Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 This is an honest question. At this point, what good is it doing americans to stay in this seemingly unwinnable situation. That depends on who you ask. If you ask alexey or chom they will say it's because Bush/Cheney are evil and did it all for haliburton/Iraqi oil. If you ask those further right they will say that it's not unwinnable, but the military is fighting with one arm tied behind it's back. If you ask me, I think administration has made it's bed and now they have to sleep in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexey Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 This is an honest question. At this point, what good is it doing americans to stay in this seemingly unwinnable situation. That depends on who you ask. If you ask alexey or chom they will say it's because Bush/Cheney are evil and did it all for haliburton/Iraqi oil. I would ask you to try and avoid presenting your understanding of my position in the manner quoted. I ask you this because you do not appear to have a very good grasp of what my position is. In other words, if you ask Beaudry he will say that sex with animals is a worthwile activity. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudry Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 The Lancet study had the death count at over 600,000 I don't know what you are referencing here. 600,000 death of who in where doing what?

The thread was about the number of US military personel that died in combat or due to combat injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
