WHAT?????????????? Are you serious? This is your answer?
:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
That's right. Care to prove me wrong?

That's Libbo for, "if you tell me that the sun rises in the east, I'll demand proof".

Insurgent vs. terrorist. The distinction is not always clear. The two are not mutually exclusive nor are they always synonymous. Which is one of my points here in light of the "we've killed over 50,000 terrorists." No, we have not. As your article clearly counters that notion.
One of my arguments is the deliberate misrepresentation of the situation that some attempt to undertake.
Agree'd. Insurgents can become Terrorists if they change their MO, and obviously a Terrorist isn't always an insurgent.
Then, again, he might be proud of you. Ya never know.
No, he would be mortified to have mommy out whining about his boss. Like 10 said, he'd catch a lot of flack for it. There are ways to make statements without using the media for 15 minutes of fame. I may have a POV, but I would not want to be spotlighted as the soldier's mother making that POV.
Of course as Lerxst pointed out, the kid is gone (?), so I guess my point is moot.
I hope your son comes home safe and soon.
I don't have to. Your comment is so devoid of factual integrity that it doesn't warrant any effort to debunk it.
Devoid of factual integrity, if you prove me wrong. Obviously, I'm not the one dodging the question.
Epic gets it. Why is this so hard? Oh I know. Because in apdst's mind, as evidenced by his last comment...they're all terrorists, they just aren't operational yet.
:rofl
Oh Jackboot, that's so sweet of you. My example is hypothetical because my son's only 9. There are lots of mothers and fathers here making this sacrifice. I'm not one of them. :3oops:

The bad guys are the bad guys, no matter what terminology you use to identify them.
.. or just refer to them as bad guys. Then you're safe. :thumbs:
I wish it were that easy. Nowadays the lines blur, and you have to have a REASON for why they're bad. :\ it's a shame. All the honor has been bled from war and it's just as corrupt as the politicians who wage it.
The bad guys are the bad guys, no matter what terminology you use to identify them.
Typically, regardless of identity, the bad guys are the ones that are trying to kill you and your men. Nothing blurry about that.
Why do insist on always making it about another poster? How did you make it to the staff? Incredible.
C'mon guys. Obama just needs more time.
He needs more time to "fix" the economy.
He needs more time to close Gitmo.
He needs more time to end DADT.
He needs more time to rid Washington of evil lobbyists.
He needs more time to end rendition.
Just give him some time...

Since before we invaded pretty much no one in Iraq was trying to kill us, by your definition, we netted about zero "bad guys", since they did not exist till we made them.
Are you aware of anything that went on in the Middle East prior to the Iraqi invasion?
