    I'm beginning to see what Martlet means. Why do you moonbats keep posting to this thread if you dont want to engage the little troll in conversation?
    You're asking this to the board that spawned the N O D D E R thread? Because it is fun. That is what spray is all about! the_finger.gif

    Hey Everyone, I've got to go. Could you feed the Marlet for me? He'll eat pretty much anything. Don't let him wander off! It is scary what I guy like this might be doing if he wasn't posting on cc.com all day! yelrotflmao.gif

    Moonbat, and proud of it!

    The Lil Baby Weasel is still here, eh? What a nice little pet troll to have hanging around. He is annoying at first, but then you grow to like these "You are ignoring this user" messages. It seems like he is trying so hard to respond to every post, you almost want to cheer him on. You can do it lil fella! Eventually, he will win and we'll all stop posting here or turn in to juveniles like lil Marty. Keep it coming lil weasel. I have no idea what you are saying, but you are excellent comic relieve to some serious discussion that happens here. And, of course, you know you're right. At least you have that. yellaf.gifsnugtop.gif

    SOF=Special Operations Forces. Delta, SEALS, SF, USMC spec ops.

     

    The Middle East is a deeply divided region along religious lines which makes it difficult to find common ground. A good read is "The Age of Sacred Terror" by 2 former NSA brain types. Religion plays so deeply into the mindset here it is truly terrifying what we are facing.

     

    I see. Well, if we've got to be there, it really doesn't make sense to have a big standing army there (basically a big target), so the "SOF" route does make the most sense. As far as an exit strategy, it seems like the Iraqi people aren't going to buy it unless there is a truly elected (and not appointed or psuedo-elected) Iraqi official in place that really represents the Iraqi people (and not the US). I don't see that happening anytime soon...and so I don't even see the possiblity for an exit strategy.

    I'll have to check out that book. Thanks.

    Oly,

     

    I have heard it said before that Saddam understood how to control the various factions here. With 3 major religious groups, many tribal factions, ongoing terrorist pressure and influence, and many open questions regarding our exit strategy here it is hard to call.

    This is an interesting point. If our exit strategy is going to be extremely difficult, because as soon as we leave, the factions will most likely step up again. Like the Serbs and the Croats or the Isrealis and the Palestinians, the struggle almost seems unending, barring genocide. Regardless of who is in the Whitehouse, this problem is going to continue on.

     

    SOF=Soldiers of Fortune? Who will be paying these people? What interests will they represent?

    The Iraqi's seem to deeply respect strength through arms. Individual acts of kindness are simply that. An act of kindness towards a fellow human being. I believe that if Bush gets reelected there will be harsher responses regarding murders of soldiers and Americans. I also believe the military will step up operations to defeat insurgency. I don't like the idea of pulling out without setting the record straight. Having said that, I think we need a tougher strategy and an exit plan. I don't make policy, and I am only speculating. My opinions could be echoed amongst the halls of power however.
    GD, so do you think we will end up running the country much like Saddam did (in regard to people in the country who don't want us there)? I'm not referring to the prison thing, obviously that will be something that will be fixed (hopefully). Just in terms of ruling with an iron fist.

    The only problem with the ignore thing is you can still see their posts quoted by others. The board software has no ability to determine where quoted text comes from...

     

    I know...for instance...Marty just posted "*** You are ignoring this user ***", and since I'm posting this here, now you have to read what he wrote, even if you are ignoring him. It is a pain, but I suppose no system is perfect.

    damn, I missed the pagetop. wave.gif

     

    You're missing more than that Squidboy! There is some guy Marlet on this board who just keeps typing in "*** You are ignoring this user ***" over and and over again! He is cracking me up! yellaf.gif Some sort of mantra for him, I guess.
