This will not be the last word though. I’m sure you’ll be back. You seem to believe your articulation qualifies you as a superior being and your hubris will force you to impress upon us your arrogance once again.

Maybe the next time you intend your quest for a cakewalk to prove the ignorant nature of this site’s occupiers you should come armed with something besides your sharp tongue and hubris.

I guess the last childish word is up to you then? Will your pride allow the opportunity to slip through your fingers?

Unless you provide more of your evidence, I am done. Are you?

Now your down to one sentence explaining a service no-one asked for (see above), the intellectual content of which I’ve already gave my opinion on.

It seems you want the last childish word. Be my guest.

You took a horribly long time to say:

“BUSH=HITLER!”

“BUSH=CHRISTIAN CRUSADES!”

“BUSH=OIL!”

“EUROPE HATES BUSH!”

It’s the same old diatribe. Just slightly better grammar. And didn’t you say:

I am sure if you have anything of substance to say you would…

I’m not a bar room lawyer and I have no idea about forensics, but I can tell when someone can take a simple phrase or statement and twist it to suit his needs. Your attack has no substance.

the violent racist arrogance of the Neo-conmen and their anti-Chritian Fundamentalist supporters

You forgot facist.

Nuremberg is the reason why the US government is the world’s largest terrorist organisation. Unprovoked aggression against Iraq. It was also a cowardly attack because it made sure, via its vicious sanctions regime, that it would be attacking a defenceless Third World country. The UN was turned into an institution for war and mass death by the US and UK, and not used for peace, reconciliation and diplomacy.

Complaining about the behaviour of the Iraqi Resistance Movement is all very well and good, but the responsibility for the horrors of Iraq are primarily borne on the guilty shoulders of the war criminals of the US governent. Every order followed in Iraq by US military personnel are illegal and never rise above the moral level of WWII Nazis.

Just to clarify a few points. The reason the US leads with violence the world over, is because it has no political support anywhere in the world. It is a military superpower, yes, but politically these days it is a non-entity (and its economy is heading that way as well due to anti-nationalistic US corporation and their offshore profiteering).
Also, apart from the violent racist arrogance of the Neo-conmen and their anti-Chritian Fundamentalist supporters (What would Jesus Do? What he did, and what he told his followesr to do is renounce violence, turn the other cheek etc), Iraq was attacked because the sanctions regime had worked and was complete and also old Saddam boy was going to start flogging his oil in Euros. As anyone knows, the only thing that is keeping the US economy from a major crash is the use of US dollars in the global oil economy (that and the Chinese and Japanese loans etc).

Your attempts at posing as the forensic Bar Room lawyer have been pretty hopelss so far.

The last time I checked “terrorists” didn;t have warplanes. You’ve nuanced another word. How derogatory and insulting of you.

Lets see what’s next? Oh yes, get your euphamism right: cluster bombs dont “spray” they drop..on enemy targets and cluster bombs haven’t been used since we initially attacked…and Bullets spray.

If you consider people dressed in all black including, carrying mortars, AK-47’s, rocket launchers, IED’s (high powered mind you), grenades, and the occasional knife used to slit other defenseless civilian’s throats as “defenseless Iraqi’s” and those trying to defeat them as terrorists you’ve really got to check your priorities Joe.

As for the depleted Uranium Rounds:
You have launched upon a farce. The only thing lethal about DPR is being on the recieving end of a sharpening, high density round. It should be treated as a lead shell with a much more “taboo” name. The “burn gas” is nothing worse than the lead poisoning that would occur were a lead shell used. The uranium used in these shells, DU, is what’s left over when the high radiation uranium (U-235) is extracted from the original element. It is actually a safer element than natural Uranium (U-238). For the DU myth debunked you can go here.

I would be lying if I said I enjoyed your misdirection. It really feels like your malice for anything associated with America’s presence against what most people consider terrorists really oozes from your work.

‘Liberated’ Kuwait was and is a dictatorship, so much for Gulf Farce I and all the dead bodies, and sanctimonious claptrap from corporate journalists. Saddam as ‘Hitler’ thing is the standard demonisation of a target of western aggression. Funny you should bring it up, but what international laws did old Saddam break that the US Government hasn’t in its ongoing attack on Iraq?

As for being a defeatist, about what ? I am about as mystifyied by this alligator as I am by the rest of what you allege about me. Though that’s probably the rub (as Shakespeare would say), the last hope in an extremely limited repertoire of corporate journalist tricks, attack the person, not the argument. I always know two thing when that happens I am right, you are wrong. If you had anything worthy of merit you would present it ergo etc (sorry that might be 3 things, though like the US Military, I don’t do body counts, or that sort of unpleasant thing).

You could always try addressing the question of ‘double standards’ or would that entail you joing myself in being a defeatist?
100,00 murders, at least, and counting in the latest bout of US Government mass murder of defenceless Iraqs.
Cakewalk, anyone? Mission Accomplished ?

How about terrorist flying warplanes and dropping bombs on defenceless people ; or the spraying of cluster bombs; or depleted uranium munitions; or do you have an excuse for these war crimes too?

For example, take a look at the recent and unprecedented “no-confidence” vote Kofi Annan has just recieved. This is the largest monetary scandal in world history EVER. All at the expense of the Iraqi people.

It’s a real shame that France, Germany, Russia and China don’t understand that terrorists carrying a WHITE FLAG just before they blow up soldiers might actually be a VIOLATION OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS FOR WAR. But hey, I’m sure you have a conspiracy theory for that as well.

As for characterising what I have to say with various epithets from a very limited lexicon…

Does it make you feel superior to call people simpletons? Does it get you off? Strange fetish there bud.

And as for Joe hating America: I don’t think that he hates America. He’s just a defeatist with a smarmy attitude towards anyone that doesn’t see things the same way he does. He’s not the first one I’ve seen that believes he is enlightened and therefore somehow superior to the rest of us. To him the choice is obvious. (…and no, I’m not trying to Freud you. If anything I’m Sherlocking you.)

…and I’m still trying to figure out your angle on Kuwait. Wasn’t that supposed to be the Gulf War I thing where Saddam thought he was hilter and started taking what he “thought” was his?
