House Passes Middle-Class Tax Cut as Dems, GOP Try to Reach Compromise

LOL, nice act as a liberal instead of being a moderate as you claim. Fox News? My family members weren't on Fox News and I base my observations based upon talking to individuals who were actually there. One in military intelligence stationed in the main Saddam Hussein palace who had access to a quite a bit of confidential information. That of course pales in comparison to your observations so carry on.

You forget, we both rely on family or friends for the current war, but I was in one, in Vietnam, and there are major similarities between Vietnam and the middle east wars.

There are SOME similarities however the Vietcong did not attack us but terrorists did and terrorists were funded by Saddam Hussein. What family or friend told you about Iraq? Did those family and friends tell you how much Saddam Hussein spent on terrorism? Did your family and friends tell you about the hidden WMD program that Saddam Hussein had. Did your family and friends tell you how many civilians Saddam Hussein killed or tortured? did those family and friends tell you how much money Saddam Hussein made on the Oil for Food Program? I could go on but my bet is none of it matters to you.

You got links to back up the Saddam Hussein parts? Terrorist were being supported by our ALLIES, like Saudi Arabia, more than any other source. They still do....
You got your panties in a twist over a lot of fiction. There were no WMD and only limited means to get some. They were never found and Saddam admitted he let his enemies think he had them so they wouldn't attack him.
Why is it that YOUR family and friends get it right, and mine don't? You don't KNOW anything first hand and neither do many of the millitary that is currently there. Intelligence is kept secret by the upper ranks, the lower ranks don't have the need to know.
Truth is the first casualty of war.....
 
yeah MSNBC and CNN are known for their unbiased presentations

and ABC is always honest--that's why their NIGHTLINE presentation on BUsh letting the clinton gun ban sunset started out with 4 minutes of footage of LA bankrobbers spraying the city streets with fully automatic illegal AKM machine guns

One of the finer moments in News coverage and thanks for reminding us of it. Mean old ABC should be ashamed having dressing up those actors with phony weapons making them look like criminals just to smear the gun lobby.

Not sure if that is an emotional rant or not? Can I ask you the same questions about YOUR sources, or will you go off in another tirade?
Yes, you could go on, and on, and on, a broken record type on and on and on....
I say you could, because you have...
Take a chill pill, pal...

Yes, but like with all other links you would ignore them. One of my family members was a major in military intelligence stationed at one of Saddam Hussein's palaces with access to classified documents. I will take him at his word.

I know this is very hard for you to understand but the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 called for the removal of Saddam Hussein, Political Representatives on both sides said he had WMD, intelligence services all over the world claimed he had WMD, UN inspectors said he had a WMD program, the Senate under Democrat control authorized the Iraq War resolution overwhelmingly yet for some reason none of this matters. Nor does it matter today but you keep the liberal myth alive, why? Obama enacted the Bush Doctrine in Iraq and all combat troops have been removed. Why continue this debate?

That has nothing to do with this thread and it is you that keeps bringing it up as if it will change anything now. We are still in Iraq had have expanded the military role in Afghanistan so what is your point?

And he is leaking you top secret info?

The major passes classified info to YOU? Give us his name, there might be a reward in turning him in.

The Major has been out of the military now for 3 years and none of the material is classified now and it was even published but ignored by the media. Doesn't really matter now, does it? Nothing is going to change your mind. You have too much invested in your anti war opinion.

My friend and neighbor who just died last week, was a colonel, outranks your major....

I'll give you credit for your ability to make things up on the fly...

again, ....I have been in a war, and have a right to be antiwar. You haven't, but you will wave the flag over the many dead US service men and women if it lowers your taxes and keeps fuel prices low...

How do you know what I did in my younger days? stop the trolling.

Stop your trolling first, pal.
 
That is a lie, prove that? I won the Draft Lottery while in college and enlisted right after college.


Maybe it was just in a war you didn't serve. Any hows I could be mistaken.

IF you graduated from college, why not go for commissioned officer instead of enlisting?

Who said I didn't? Part of my ROTC responsibility was enlisting following college. You still have to enlist

1970-1976, got a great job out of college and was able to get into the Army Reserves. Got out in 6 years instead of 8. Only rose to rank of Lt. as the job prevented me from seeking a higher rank as I had no interest in doing that. Had I decided to make the military my career I would have. Now what does this have to do with the thread topic?

You were in 6 years and just neglected to bring that up til now? All that talk about your family/friends who know so much about what is going on in the wars? and of course, YOUR family/friends know everything and everyone else is full of SOS...
yeah, right...
