Bush trying to be funny.

Are you stating that a revolution and an occupation are synonymous?

Well, lets see.

Both of those situations are military aggression against the local recognized government.

Both are aimed at creating a more democratic representation.

Both involved lopsided military situations and a fair amount of civilian casualties (though of course, the British forces managed to blow their superiority in the historical scenario).

Neither are imperialistic wars of conquest, such as those of Germany or even the USSR.

So yes, there is a fair amount of comparison to be drawn there. And yes, by your logic, GW would have been flayed alive before he ever got a chance to become President.

You are so cute when you roll your eyes by the way.

I was unaware that the Baath party was the local recognized party in America.

Actually, the cited reason for war was that Iraq possed "stockpiles of WMD". Of course, after the Bushitler administration was embarrasesd when this was shown to be a complete fabrication they then went on a massive political spin dubbing the war a "liberation".

Right. Funny how it went from "America does not need anyone's permission to defend itself" from an "axis of evil" with "stockpiles of WMD" to "save Iraqi".

You are one thick redneck if you bought Bushie's crap.

So, it's a war. Nice job Sherlock, you've managed to link "Iraqi Freedom" to nearly every other war in history.

Neither involved little green men from Mars either - does that demonstate proof that a civil war is the same as pre-emptive attack and occupation?

No, of course not. Exclusion doesn't prove a thing.

So yes, there is a fair amount of comparison to be drawn there. And yes, by your logic, GW would have been flayed alive before he ever got a chance to become President.
My logic? There is no such thing as "my logic". There is only truth - I suggest you turn off FOX and go discover some of it.

Thanks, and you are so naive when you spin the silliest shit without even a dash of cleverness to actually make your stretchs of unreality seem somewhat true.

Silly me, I almost forgot to ask -

Since you're saying that the US Revolution was like "Iragi Freedom" because both involved a "lopsided battle" does that mean that you believe George Washington is comparable to Saddam Hussein?

I would guess you are deliberately missing the point here because your logic is too faulty to stand on its merits, so you must resort to confusion. The Baath party was of course the locally recognized legitimate government of Iraq, just as the English rule was the locally recognized legitimate government in the American Colonies. My apologies that I strained your brain trying to reach that conclusion, I can spell it out simpler for you in the future if need be.

Hussein's refusal to comply with 12 years of UN sanctions was enough for me, I did not see any reason to spin anything regarding WMD. He brought it upon himself by his refusal to comply. Bush may not be a genius or a saint, but he is not a Saddam or a Hitler..regardless of the liberal attempts to paint him as one.

Most real wars do not involve very lopsided militaries. Or those wars do not last very long. I am presuming so far as you are concerned, the guerilla tactics there means its still a war. I can agree with that. Are you saying the sides were not lopsided? Or you just like to attempt to ridicule when your fallacious argument has no merit?

Neither involved little green men from Mars either - does that demonstate proof that a civil war is the same as pre-emptive attack and occupation?

Specious non-sequitor argument. The American Revolution was not a civil war. And I never said that they were the same, I said there were strong comparisons to be made, as opposed to wars of genocide or imperialism, which have been much more common.

I don't have FOX. Truth is a pretty subjective thing in many of these cases, the search for it is a lot more than you are going to find attempting to ridicule others opinions in a sports forum's political section. Get out and discover some of it yourself.

You and Sodium in a locked room would be interesting to watch. Venom on one side, attempted put downs without logic on the other.

When will these morons learn that they're NOT stand-up comics?

First it was Hillary with her Ghandi/gas-station joke. Now it is Bush and WMDs.

If Jon Stewart makes a political joke, it is funny. When politicians make a political joke, it is NOT funny.

I know servicemen who probably cringe just knowing that this moronic, cowardly, daddy's little boy is in control of their lives. His joke was tasteless like himself.
