Simon W. Moon said:So, when do you get to the part where "John Kerry likens U.S. Soldiers to terrorists?"
If, as it appears, you'd like to blow off some steam and just rant I"d be happy to move this to the Basement if you'd like.
So anyone who causes fear in another is a terrorist now?Trajan Octavian Titus said:Come on Simon did you fail reading comprehension class or something? It's all right here in plain English.
Simon W. Moon said:So anyone who causes fear in another is a terrorist now?
That definition of terrorism seems to be so watered down as to be useless.
My wife is terrorized by spiders. Therefore spiders are terrorists.
I had hoped you had more than that weak-kneed wobbly excuse for a case. If poor parsing is all you've got, perhaps you should try back later.
Out of curiosity, what is the ostensible political purpose that Mr. Kerry assigns to the inadvertent terrorizing of children in his quote?
KidRocks said:Good for John Kerry, we need more patriots like him speaking out against President Bush's dirty little war on Iraq. Maybe then in the future we won't have idiots like Bush rushing to war and putting our troops in harms way just to quench their politically-correct, r-wing agenda.
Go John Kerry, keep on kicking r-wing ass.
He's not speaking out against the president he's speaking out against the military?
I see. So we're moving the goal posts from "likens U.S. Soldiers to terrorists," to the even more vague "believes the U.S. military to be a force for evil."Trajan Octavian Titus said:Put it in context of what he said about the military after Vietnam it's very clear that Sen. Kerry believes the U.S. military to be a force for evil.
Simon W. Moon said:I see. So we're moving the goal posts from "likens U.S. Soldiers to terrorists," to the even more vague "believes the U.S. military to be a force for evil."
Even w/ the goal posts moved closer, you're still inside your own twenty yard-line.
He doesn't say that he "believes the U.S. military to be a force for evil." AFAICT, thi interpretation's merely the product of faulty extrapolation on your part or on the part of whoever you got the opinion from.
if someone is accusing the troops of terrorizing the Iraqi people he is implying that they are terrorists
FinnMacCool said:Jesus stop trying to be such a spin doctor. You make me think you work for the government. Try thinking for yourself for a change.
I THINK, if you read correctly, he is saying that THERE IS NO REASON WHY SOLDIERS SHOULD TERRORIZE INNOCENT CIVILLIANS.
I never saw him call them terrorists.
Calling soldiers terrorists would be political suicide and Kerry seems to have unintentionally called them one do to your ****ed up ways of interperting words and sentences and changing them around and making it into something else that suits you so you can proceed to attack his patriotism and express "outrage"

Why should I bother when you're doing such an admirable job already?Trajan Octavian Titus said:You can bend and shift this crap he spewed all you want ...
Jesus does he have to spit on a troop, burn an American flag, while singing the Soviet Anthem for you people to get the picture?

Trajan Octavian Titus said:He's calling for a premature withdrawl.

Are you sure you want to try to turn it into a personal ******* contest?
Don't you think it'd be better if we stayed with the debate topic at hand instead?
So Kerry's saying that the US military has the goal of a premature withdrawal from Iraq and that they are terrorizing children to achieve that goal?Trajan Octavian Titus said:He's calling for a premature withdrawl.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe something like that when guys w/ guns bust into a house it scares the children. I'm just guessing from the language and context here. I don't have the guidance of El Rushbo to show me the way on this oneTrajan Octavian Titus said:You're the one who's trying to redefine the term terrorize, tell me Simon what do you think this statement means if he's not saying that the troops are terrorists then just what the hell is he saying?
So when they burst into homes based on "tips from sources that terrorists are in the homes making bombs to kill Americans," it doesn't scare anyone?Navy Pride said:Here is the real deal folks.........Regardless what Kerry says about our troops they just don't go barging into homes in the middle of the night scaring families......They get tips from sources that terrorists are in the homes making bombs to kill Americans......That is why they raid them........

Trajan Octavian Titus said:So then you agree that according to John Kerry the troops are terrorizing the peoples of Iraq?
How does he know this is this case . . . perhaps he caught an episode of 'over there,' cuz he sure as hell hasn't been to Iraq.
Ya they look terrified evil Americans terrorizing Iraqi children by rebuilding schools, passing out candy, and school supplies . . . "look out he's got a pencil!!"
KidRocks said:Pardon me but...
I'm sure Saddam also passed out candy and school supplies while rebuilding schools in Iraq. Am I correct?
So, does that make Saddam a good-guy then?
