Me too, but I will still move back when I am done in December.

I know Vietnam split candidates.

You think this will get a Democratic candidate elected? I feel that if John Kerry would have stuck with his guns instead of asking his base what to do (via polls) he would hav slaughtered Bush. Instead he polarized his views and lost the middle.

way more than this.

Figures. Nader man, no doubt? Yep

to be completely honest. I didn't even vote for Bush.

You know I think that the way that the term Liberal has changed throughout the years in interesting. It would provide much perspective to see where the polotics have migrated from.

I am hoping that I will be able to go to language school and learn Arabic. I am currently learning Mandarin and have a background in a few other languages. Could be an interesting way to go.

all they did was say that they were the anti-bush. That is all find and dandy but what are you going to actually do? What is your plan for sucess.

in what? Inquiring minds want to know... OCS By which I assume you mean Officer Candidate School with the Marine Corps, rather than Overseas Courier Service or Oregon Climate Service, both of which pop up higher on Google. Do effete college educated officers still get fragged by the grunts? Be careful out there. I'd have expected you to try for Special Forces, Green Beret, or SEALS. I guess you're not confident of making the cut. Actually Off OCS is available for all branches.

in what? Inquiring minds want to know... branch? OCS Army. Looking at Counter Intel beause of my language skills, but you never know what you will get. Wouldn't mind doing infantry either.

No, he didn't. If he did think that wouldn't our forces have been on alert I'm sure he thought one of the outcomes might have been war, but that result was not inevitable. In your world view what purpose does diplomacy hold if the end result is always war (as it was in WW2, Iraq, etc.)? You are misquoting. I said that IF diplomacy did not work, war was an option. If the UN were not so limp dicked, it is possible that it would have worked against Iraq, but they have a precedence of being flacid when faced with conflict.

people flying airplanes into buildings, people trying to eradicate entire religious/ethnic groups. Mostly the fact that there is genocide going on everywhere in the world. That was my first clue.

Obviously you have not read the article where Kerry talks about his 16 point buck when he was crawling on his belly hunting with decoys outsmarting the deer and shooting them with his dbl barreled shotgun. Or when we said "I's here to get me a licence." Bush has the arrogance to try and pass himself off as a hick. Kerry at least lives as what he is - a New England Brahmin. Don't forget that's what both he a W are - they were both members of Skull & Bones for crissake. If you prefer the policies of W, fine. Don't give me this moral crap. That's just the spinmeister image people talking.

You think we are in peacefull times?

HUH? We launched an embargo to change Japanese behaviour. They decided to attack us instead of modifying militaristic policies. War is not the end game in all disputes Harpell (you believing this would explain your opinions) Regardless, FDR knew that the reaction of this embarbo would be war and he was right. If diplomacy fails, you are right, I do feel the only recourse is war. What do you suggest? Ignoring the cancer in hopes taht it goes away?

I already did enlist asshole.

Harpell- You've used this lie before. FDR didn't fabricate Pearl Harbour, and didn't fabricate Germany declaring war on us. Read an f'ing history book. Maybe you should read some more.

Wow you World traveller you!

Not outside the pacific northwest. Have you ever been outside the pacific northwest NOLSEY?

Every president has done it in every war that we have undertaken. I am not saying I agree with it, but it is better to get popular support for a war to be sure that once it is embarked upon, the inevitable turn of opinion against the war will not necessitate the withdrawl of forces before the mission is accomplished.

Shut the Fuch up Michelle. If you go around asserting that anyone that doesn't believe what you do is stupid... and then can't even back that up you have got some serious fucking problems. How about you learn to speak like a lady. This is your chance to pretend to be on even if you can't act like one in real life

Everything that come out of you guy's mouths is recycled from moveon.org. What do you want me to say? You say that the war is going on so George Bush can get rich. I ask you to prove it and you can't.
