Bombs are dropping, they knocked out the power and 5 bridges. Tanks and troops are on the move. Israel promises this will "be painful".

Go get him back!

Gotta love Israel's response.If only we were as unified to get our soldiers.No BS approval from Congress,just "kick Ass".I would hate to be on the receiving end of this latest BUTT Kickery

Oh yea, let he games begin (or should that be continue).

And since when is our response not up to par with the Israelis? Saudi nationals attack America under Saudi commander Osama Bin Laden, and we attack who? Iraq, killing more than 50,000. Now that's over the top my friend. Meanwhile the timid Israelis are returning fire only on those who fired on them. No contest.

let me get this one straight doc.. your for Abortion? (an unborn child who cannot/does not know it's own fate)

but you are against adults being able to choose a/to battle and the fate of their own destiny of death and distruction? Hmmmm?

Hog

Trying to out me you threadjacking MugWump!? You sure read a lot into a MF's post HOG. Somehow I don't picture you personally as all warm & cuddly with babies & kittens. I admit I'm not (well, sometimes). Stick to the post at hand, and I won't post your intimate nude photos with Jeff Gannon, deal?

Avsjunkie

israel has the approval of the knesset.

no one is for/in favor of abortions.

only the christian right has the temerity to think they should be in charge of other peoples descisions.

You don't read all the abortion posts do you Rick? I can name 2 posters off the top of my head that are in fact FOR abortion. Not the cover story of "choice", but for abortion.

Just like a liberal to to think only the "Christian Right" is againt a liberal idea. What a crock.

i repeat, no one is for abortion. when someone says they are for a woman's right to choose, that doesn't mean they are in favor of abortion.

name two posters who are for abortion. they can't wait until their wife or girl friend has one. then they can have a big abortion party.

you need to rad with a different set of glasses. the one's you using are distorting what you read.

try the iq test. maybe you are not as smart as you think you are.

Yes I are!

victor808 and swimbladder. If you actually read my post you would have understood that I covered the "for choice" cover story. They have said they were "for abortion". Heck, vic thinks anyone below a certain IQ should have all their babies brains poked with a fork.

Wait, this is a "Go Israel!" thread. Not getting into abortion here. Move it to the other thread.

Drathaar,

You seem very pleased that Israel is dropping bombs and has said that this "will be painful."

Do you take pleasure in people dying?

Do you take pleasure in seeing wars start?

Do you take pleasure in a soldier risking his life in battle?

Do you take pleasure in a soldier killing another human being and then having to live with that?

As a former combat soldier, I regret every time I hear of another young man or woman having to take a life. For whatever reason, it sticks with you for the rest of your life.

I think it was Cohen who coined, "what makes a murderer smile, makes a soldier cry."

Your life revolves around an Xbox, and a fantasy of being some sort of CIA dude. Have you ever had to raise a rifle or gun in defense? Better yet offense?

You seem to take a certain joy in things blowing up and people dying.

You'd really like the movie "Jarhead" I think. It's about a guy that really wants to kill somebody and never gets the chance.

Now go on...call me an anti American.

Same old song and dance.

I certainly do not want to see any more death and destruction, but I am impressed with Israel's resolution.

Some people look at events like these as just warfare, death, and destruction. What they are missing is the opportunities in the aftermath.

For example: "Israeli warplanes fired at least nine missiles at Gaza's only power station, cutting electricity to 65% of the Gaza Strip, engineers at the station said. The station's three functioning turbines and a petrol reservoir were engulfed in flames." ~Al Jazeera

When the United States conducted bombing missions in Bosnia, we dropped clusters of metal wires on power facilites to short everything out but not destroy it. It sounds like the Israelis tried to cripple or destroy the power plant. That will result in very expensive rush orders to rebuild it, likely with humanitarian aid money from the EU and the United States. Unfortunately, the construction bids will probably go to Egypt or France but we could get some new GE turbines in there!

Lemme see. Now, how can I profit off the death of anonymous human beings and the destruction of their local environements!? Hmmmm, better ask El Dicko, he'll know.

Sigh... I search my name and find myself here. Why must you guys invoke the great and almighty Victor?

Rick/DrP Drathaar is at least half correct (at least about my statements). While I don't think people should be getting pregnant just to get abortions, I'm personally very concerned about what kind of people are allowed to pop out some dependent little creature. I don't think a lot of people should be able to have the choice to actually have a child.

That being said, I don't believe my views are in any way consistent with a liberal agenda and that was the point I was trying to make when I made that comment. Drathaar has tried to take my comment out of context (in which I was contrasting my views with those of your standard pro-choice voter) and labeled my views as those of a liberal.

As far a swim is concerned, I don't think he has ever posted a pro-abortion statement, but I don't have time to look.

huh!?
