And in that piece, he says never ever protest at a military base because the troops don't make policy. Take it to the politicians. And he says don't ever protest at a military hospital. Yet you do.<BR/><BR/>And you let VFP leader Kevin McCarron hold a sign that read, "Maimed For A Lie". Even if you believe "Maimed For A Lie", why would you ever decide to hold it where the wounded could see it as they ride the stretcher bus into Reed?<BR/><BR/>Why is it that it took pressure from the American public to get that sign dropped? Why did Code Pink allow it for even a second?<BR/><BR/>I'm curious as to your take on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927240156474434943.post-8174268741668183952007-11-24T22:18:00.000-05:002007-11-24T22:18:00.000-05:00Yeah, Code Pink has a lot of class when it rudely ...Yeah, Code Pink has a lot of class when it rudely disrupts hearings and meetings.

You're doing a fine job yourself. <BR/><BR/>Our freedom of speech is what you complain about the most, yet you pretend you had anything to do with it. I earned my own right to that with six years of honorable active duty service. I don't need the likes of you and yours pretending that there was an excuse to invade Iraq and somehow twisting that into "protecting my freedom of speech".<BR/><BR/>Iraq did nothing to us then and can do nothing to us now. They neither were nor are any threat to our "freedom of speech" or way of life. There were no WMDs. We got them all the first time. I was there. <BR/><BR/>I hope that your husband doesn't end up dying for the lie, but the cold hard truth of the matter is he's fighting for it. I have no interest in drinking the kool aid. I already know a lot more about this military than a lot of people would like, and I had my eyes opened wide when I was in.<BR/><BR/>Mark my words - <B>the day is going to come when the truth of what this administration has perpetrated in the name of "freedom" will be brought to light</B>. <BR/><BR/>On that day remember that I said this: as sorry as I feel for you now, I'll pity you even more then, because you will have to live with your part in it the same way that the "Good Germans" must live with their memories. And that goes for all of you, because as deluded as you are, at heart you are not bad people, and you joined up for the same reasons I did.<BR/><BR/>Just remember I said it when the time comes.

Even if they did have "terrorist" camps in Iraq, which I highly doubt (and it's likely you're listing Hussein's military as "terrorists", because to an asscrack like you anybody in a turban who isn't a billionaire qualifies), wouldn't that have been listed as one of the reasons to invade? Instead they came up with this utter BULLSHIT about imaginary WMD's. You have yet to address the fact that they had to lie to get into Iraq at all for all your fancy posturing.

Their talking points (or in some cases screeching points) can be logically addressed and destroyed. This is a place where their attacks can be turned against them and they can be shut down. Who knows one or two of them might even see the light. <BR/><BR/>I've already shut a few of them down. They are learning - well, at least some of them are - that this forum is not a place they want to come if they want to control a discussion forum and intimidate it's people.

You don't work for me and my interests. You don't observe the rule of law. You are working for some of the craziest bitches on the planet - rich bitches who believe that "might makes right" and "the end justifies the means".<BR/><BR/>I enjoy tearing what passes for your self-justification for your war crimes to pieces in this forum. It's easy, legal, free, and allows me to show the world that on a level playing field and under civilized terms you ain't got shit to work with. If you had to fight fair, you'd lose.<BR/><BR/>You're afraid of Code Pink. You view us as some sort of threat - and when it comes to your psychotic way of life you're right to do so, because all you know how to do is make people fear. We know how to make people think, and there's nothing you can do to stop us. We are free, and don't EVEN pretend to flatter yourself that it's because of you. We're free because of generations of far more noble American warriors whose honor you have tarnished.

And why would I post my name on here, to build credibility? The facts I've mentioned and sources I've cited stand just fine on their own. Am I afraid of retaliation?

Training activities including simulated hijackings carried out in an airplane fuselage [said to be a Boeing 707] at the camp."<BR/><BR/>There, they were there before 9/11. Now to address the reason we're there: take into consideration, this idea was formulated while deployed to Iraq by somebody with a warped sense of reality who also happens to be a war criminal and murderer of innocent terrorist. Iraq is training terrorist. They used to have biological and chemical weapons - they have used chemical weapons. They have repeatedly fired on American aircraft enforcing the no-fly zone. They have attempted to procure equipment to develop nuclear weapons. Saddam pays the families of suicide bombers in Israel in an attempt to recruit more bombers. These are good reasons to invade, but the best - which wasn't stated for obvious reason was to send a message to Iran, I more serious problem. Iran has been working on developing a nuke for a while now, they have more advanced weaponry then Iraq, anti-ship cruise missiles in particular purchased from France I believe. Now that Iran sees the troubles we are having in Iraq with their well funded and equipped insurgency, as well as negative media coverage they feel emboldened enough to declare their progress in developing nuclear weapons. Did we hit a dry hole in Iraq with the WMDs? Yup - sure did. Did we find terrorist training camps? Yup. Did we stop Saddam's funding of terrorist bombers and God knows what else? Yup.<BR/><BR/>Now you say Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, well WMDs didn't have anything to do with 9/11 either. To attack because of the suspicion of WMDs would be a preemptive strike. To attack because of terrorist training camps would also be a preemptive strike in order to prevent another 9/11. In the end Islamic terrorists are Islamic terrorists, I don't care where they come from or if all the different groups are working in concert. What they all have in common is the fact that they hate America. They hate us because we support Israel, they hate our open society, and they hate Christianity (76.5% of Americans identify themselves as Christians).<BR/><BR/>Finally, I'm not trying to get you to take me seriously Eileen - I just think its funny to see you get riled up when you're presented with facts that can't be ignored. Theres also the off chance that somebody who isn't as mentally disturbed as you will read the facts and think "Hmm, maybe I should put less stock in the feelings I get when I see the horrors of war splashed on my TV screen, and think more about WTF is going on in the world with Islamofacist - maybe I don't want to be associated with the defenders of terrorist who would deny me my freedoms and life in a heartbeat."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927240156474434943.post-18226633690139299392007-11-13T00:22:00.000-05:002007-11-13T00:22:00.000-05:00Once again: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.The s...Once again: Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.<BR/><BR/>The story's not changing there.

Why weren't they mentioned in the original reasons for invading the country? Why did we have this elaborate cooking of the intelligence books regarding WMDs, to include the administration outing the identity of a CIA agent just because her husband wouldn't go along with the lie?<BR/><BR/>You people are so full of shit.
