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.

No, by donning a tin-foil hat and reciting partisan propaganda.

What plan was that? I don't think I ever heard that one. Oh! It was the one where we magically get the UN to suppor thte war in Iraq. Gotchya.

No brah. These are real.

You remind me of Britney Spears when Michael Moore in his movie Fahrenheit 911 What? Me no understand.

I think you are reading into this a bit.

Yes. Everyone that doens't agree with you is stupid. Keep going on through life like that. Really its a healthy outlook.

Yep we should have just let them take over the World ass peacefull-like

And Bush had the brilliant (though despicable) strategy of accusing people of not supporting our troops should they question if he was truthful on Iraq. When did he ever do this?

It is indeed, but so to is teh assertation that we did it solely for the money or the oil. I do not see a way that Bush can gain from this economically. It is clear taht there are many reasons for entering this war and as I have shown you earlier, there were many reasons for our involmenent in WW2. Don't kid yourselves they were not all grandiose "save the world from evil and genocide" reasons that we left our isolationist slumber.

I didn't NOLEY I was merely adressing the point of DFA.
