Ungrateful a-holes. Give me an RV then let Iran have them. Maybe then they'll learn gratitude, but I doubt it. Ignorant SOB's don't know which side of the bread their butter was on!

We invaded their country. It doesn't matter that we got rid of a dictator. Dictatorship is all they have known and all they understand and relate to. We're western... of course they hate us. They always will. They hate each other bad enough to cut each other's heads off on a regular basis and blow each other up, so of course they hate the USA. After the RV happens I personally don't care what happens to Iraq. They've been murderers for thousands of years.

Thanks knight for this and all you have done here, I can tell that you are one of the good guys in this crazy world we live in.

Pull out and let Israel nuke it into one big glass bowl. Fallujah is the flame of cowardice and ignorance. Let them eat their oil and love their camels.

I am okay with that.

Where does one buy American and Israeli flags in Iraq? How would I get an Iraqi flag here in the U.S.......Ebay, I guess. Seems a nonsensical waste of resources, to be purchasing flags, rather than essentials, such as bread and water. <_<

GO RV, then BV

People step back and breathe. Conflict causes resentment and pent up rage but we do not need nor want hurtfull comments to cause bad feelings within this community. Propoganda stirs up conflict and that is what you are seeing on TV today. Respectfully disagree but stay within the bounds of mutuall respect or else you sink to a very low level which is not nice to witness.Whatever happens will happen with or without our involvment (hopefully) so we watch and wait , Respects to all.

I'm a 20 year vet and BEEN THERE DONE THAT. I've been following this and owned Dinar since DAY 2! I'm entitled to my opinion not just as a right but because of EXPERIENCE. This attitude is expected in Iraq and other ME countries and they've displayed their antipathy to paying their debt in a loud voice which has been getting louder as time goes on.(remember ch7? all our fault?) or have you not been keeping up? :blink:

Remember they ARE a different culture and do NOT think as we do. They've been scratching the sand for whatever they can get for centuries, so the "me first" mentality is ingrained and not unexpected

Disappointment.? Maybe. But that's YOUR opinion, isn't it? I've served my country and done my time here AND there. I'm ENTITLED.
But as an Australian and not American, you may not understand that. (No Dis to Oz or Aussies). ;)

And the power of propaganda is immense when you're surrounded by malcontents. The uninformed and frightened people who blindly follow will always chime in mindlessly. I spoke with a woman who, in her words, escaped as a refugee shortly after the insurgent and she said and I quote. "Saddam was a good guy, he was for the people. He had nothing"

This person was believing a lie with all her heart. Let that be a word of wisdom to us all. Sometimes its not true, no matter how hard you believe it. Just my opinion. Posted Image

You have been lied to Fishman. It is a fallacy that you served your country. There has never been a recorded terrorist attack on or off American soil from Iraqis! What you did was fight in a war that enabled a handful of insanely rich men become richer still, but also one that has greatly impoverished both your country and countrymen.

Ahh the "I'm all right Jack" excuse. So YOU would only respond to, or expect your allies to respond to Your country being invaded. Re-read the history of the start of the conflict and the involvment of other countries to persuade Hussein to retract from Kuwait. "I am not me brother's keeper" exempts non involvment I suppose. But to ALL who served whenever in their lives, we ARE our brothers keeper, and respect each others service, and understand the thoughts expressed by FishmanTX.

Spoken like a true chickensh!t who hides behind left wing hipocrisy and asks others to to do a job that they don't have the guts to do. It's ok to be a coward Tyron, but at least own it.

First instinct to the headline was ... turn around go back and blast the ... well you get the idea.

But in reality this is, I guess, to be expected, and most likely won't be the last time they do it. It is their mind set, which is nothing like ours. That is what makes it so frustrating trying ot figure out and account for some of the things they say, and do, and don't say, and do. It is like they have no idea what the truth is. They have no concept of gratitude. They seem to be lacking the peace gene altogether and have an overabundance of the warrior gene in its place.

Very sad ... I had stupidly thought, during all this waiting, that things would be "better" for the people who actually live there. But they won't change. If the Allied troops are not there, they will find another reason to go around blowing things up. Definitely a case of arrested development.

History? Kuwait was drilling at the borders using slanting drilling and tapping into oil fields that rightfully belonged to Iraq! And the American government does not respond to all its alies! It responds first and foremost to its great need for oil! And that is the truth. There are countries in Africa and Asia suffering under dictatorships crying out for help - where is the help for Congo where 6 million people have perished? See it is not so clear cut as one strong ally helping another, is it?

Spoken like a true chickensh!t who hides behind left wing hipocrisy and asks others to to do a job that they don't have the guts to do. It's ok to be a coward Tyron, but at least own it.


You may call me any name that pleases you Goblue. I deplore the idea of men killing each other. For what? It is not a job I will ask anyone to do for me. I would rather die myself. I have a query for you though - how it is you can be so certain of the rightness of your moral tone after the deaths of over million people, some of them innocent women and children? And the countless others injured and maimed for life?

I am unaware of your source for the figures that you quote about the number of deaths in these countries, a million in Iraq ? is this during the years of USA involvment. Now six million in the Congo, drought, fighting,tribalism, hunger. Since the days of the Belgian Congo again benefactor countries have ploughed billions $s into the area (sound familiar) but forced Catholacism ,Presbaterianism, and lord knows what els "ism" has not worked. No one invaded them so where does that leave your reasoning, would they be better off being invaded and subjected to total changes to their culture, you can dig wells for them, you can teach them how to plant and nurture crops , but you cannot stop them proving there wealth by the number of cattle that they have, even though that is the main cause of their self inflicted suffering. you stand there and reason with a hungry angry warrior with a machette in his hands. Do you think that all sectarian killing will stop after American troops leave, no more bombs, the thieves of Baghdad will reform and actually try to govern the country for it's population's good. Might I suggest two occupations for you clock maker in cloud cucoo land, or else the Fed, because numerically you show understanding of numbers as they do. Do not take offence as age does not allways = understanding nor wisdom, and I admit that might well apply to myself. Got to cook my childrens dinner so excuse me not running this through the spell checker.
