    Your transparent concern is very heart warming. Before this whole mess started, I doubt you really gave a damn about the Iraqi people. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

              You know what John, a lot of people hate you. I, on the other hand, respect you. Not because I agree or disagree with what you say, but because you're willing to say it. I respect a man who stands for what he thinks regardless of what others around him may say. Bravo.

                              A lot of that was caused by old Patriot guidance systems. The new PAC3's use GPS rather than error prone and intense terrain maps.

Although they are in fact powerful explosions, they are also extremely precise. The fact that you allude to mass destruction as well as killing of innocent people verifies my claim that you have no idea what you are talking about. US weaapons are extermely accurate and extremely lethal. We are not at war with the people of Iraq. We are at war with Iraqi leadership, and will destroy the necessary targets to achieve our specific objectives. - Nitron

                                    To much fast food is not good for the brain! How are you talking about your former friends. I always thought america gave weapons to iraq and the taliban ? The chemical technology ? The biological weapons ? Parts oft the rocket technology ? It is all yours. It seems to be always the same. First you make new friends then you attack them. I wonder when you will be back to germany ? Please bring my country peace an show us how to have you opinion. Or will you attack your current friends in great britain first ? Sascha

                                        The targets are military and government buildings, not civilians you retard. Get you head out of you arse and watch and listen to the news before making a silly comment.

                                          You know what John, a lot of people hate you. I, on the other hand, respect you. Not because I agree or disagree with what you say, but because you're willing to say it. I respect a man who stands for what he thinks regardless of what others around him may say. Bravo.

I'd like to thank everyone who had a hand in hating me, because without them, I wouldn't have anyone to ridicule and make fun of. David Stone wrote: I, on the other hand, respect you.

Bravo. I say the things that nobody admits that they want to say. Besides, I'm pretty fuckin' tired of all the goddamn America-bashing that's going on. With the rising population of camel-riding retards that are members here, along with the whiners who think their puny little opinion is gonna change the direction of a M1-A1, it's time that someone stood up and shouted, "STFU, you stupid little piss-ants!". GW is NOT satan, Americans are not (for the most part) any more evil than the next poor son-of-a-bitch these people are likely to focus on, and that moron Hussein brought this down on his head, and his country's head ALL BY HIMSELF. Saddam stepped on his dick, and now GW's gonna kill the insane bastard. END OF STORY. On a positive note, real-estate will become readily available in downtown Bagdad and the surrouding suburbs. Just wait - it won't be long before we start seeing Century-21 signs in most neighborhoods. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
