Just heard a mom of a marine say "they don't fight fair"

[southernleftylady]

talking about the war in Iraq right now..
hmm..
only back in the days when soldiers lined up and take turns has the war been "fair"
our air power, bombs that weight TONS... how is that fighting fair against people who don't have those weapons?

we will never go to war with the people who DO have those weapons unless WE TRULY have to because bush knows that we would get our butts kicked...
but.. they don't fight fair??
please

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

1. Maybe she means prisoner abuse?

Or the reasons for going to war in the first place?

[Spinzonner]

2. What, our bombs don't bellow "Look out below" on the way down ?

[Solly Mack]

3. What's fair about an illegal invasion/occupation?

What's fair about war period?

Sheesh....

[seabeyond]

4. americans didnt fight "fair" during revolution either

i never got this arguement. pissed at the enemy because they didnt "let" us kick their ass

[bahrbearian]

5. Saddam and Chimpy at 20 paces with pistols...problem solved.

[ooglymoogly]

8. i'd rather gloves off fisticuffs no holds barred to the death

at least we'd be rid of one tyrant...and on reality tv

[kedrys]

9. I'd pay some serious bucks to be in the front row of that one

Much better than a duel...not too quick, and actually requires some brawling skills...

:popcorn:

[Wcross]

20. A cage match! n/t

[GOPisEvil]

6. Memo to Marine mom: THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRY!

Believe you me, if some foreign power invaded the US, I wouldn't be too concerned about fighting "fair" either.

[southernleftylady]

7. here is her response :

Yes I do think we fight fair. You have to remember WHO we dropped those bombs on. It was the Army of an evil dictator who was harboring terrorists that would be more than happy to came back to our country and blow up some more of our people and our buildings for no good reason. As far as the pres not wanting the cost of fighting an equilly armed country, I believe that the people of the USA would NOT have that either. Although I'm not sure who we would fight against that would be equilly armed. North Korea? But even though they may have Nuclear power I don't believe they have all the technology we have. The other options are our allies. I see what you mean about how it seems a little one sided. It's kind of like the big guy on the playground. But I have to admit, it would be a darn scary world if these radicle countries had the technolgy we had. I hope to God that Rapture happens and I'm out of here before those days hit.

[Ready4Change]

10. Whooa..

"I hope to God that Rapture happens and I'm out of here before those days hit."

She's been captured by Roves magical gluing together of 9/11, Iraq, and God. To me it's a clearly evil thing, but to those captured, it's a powerful master. Good luck waking her up.

[JanMichael]

11. Oh no. Yet another rapture republican.

This is some scary shit.

[salin]

12. yikes - too bad for her that the rapture is fabricated and nowhere

in the bible.

Too bad for her that she doesn't realize that there was no connection between those who were 'harboring' the terrorists who attacked us, and Iraq - and that by going after Iraq we compromised our efforts against those who did attack us - and by going after Iraq we have increased the ranks (in terms of numbers) of terrorists who harbor suicidal hatred (as in willingness to kill themselves to get targets) against us... and that by doing this while going after huge tax cuts for the wealthy and the corporations, that there are not the financial resources to adequately "protect the homeland" from said terrorists.

Well maybe all the above isn't "too bad for her (except the first one)" but... too bad for us and the world.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. More like the bully on the playground. That would be us.

How many ways is she delusional? Way to many to count. The voice of 'reason' from a kool-aid drinking religious nutjob. :woohoo: :crazy:

[mondo joe]

15. Another self-interested Christian.

I'm amazed at how content these fundies are to think about their own interest above all else.

[LynnTheDem]

19. She's one of the few remaining idiots who thinks Iraq did 911.

Wonder how she's going to feel when she learns that in fact Iraq, Saddam Hussein and the Iraqis NEVER had ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with 911 and in fact were not doing ANYTHING to ANYONE when they were "shock & awe" bombed the fucking crap out of by us, slaughtering innocent men, women, and kids, in HER name.


Gawd damn I DESPISE STUPID PEOPLE!!!

[Kahuna]

14. We invaded a defenseless country. How fair was that?

It was not a war. It was an invasion.

[pie]

16. I heard someone else say the same thing

Wha?

[Syncronaut Seven]

17. Ah... the battle cry of the defeated bully

Perhaps if she can convince Iraqi's to just lie face down in ditches they dug themselves. That way we can execute them proper, maybe 2 or 3 deep so as to save ammo and not burden true patriots with excessive costs.

Fight back? how un-civilized, how dare they.

[LynnTheDem]

18. World's first & only hyper-power, vs one of the weakest 3rd world nations

on the planet.

She's right; we DON'T fight fair.

[libodem]

21. and the whole 'they aren't wearing uniforms'

excuse to deny prisoners, Geneva Convention, protection. Where are these rag/tag citizens going to come up with a uniform? hhhmmm, let's see 500lb. bombs vs little brown people, why sure that's very fair.

[leesa]

22. They don't wear uniforms, whaaaaa!

Maybe next time we launch an unprovoked invasion, we should get them to agree on uniforms first. They are the people of Iraq, as Mike Malloy said, They ARE wearing their uniforms.

[LibDemAlways]

23. "You have to remember who we dropped those bombs on....

It was the army of an evil dictator..." Uh, no. The bombs we dropped hit neighborhoods where ordinary Iraqis lived with their families. In the process we killed and maimed men, women, and children who meant us no harm and whose only "crime" was that they lived in Iraq.

I've heard plenty of ignorant, uniformed comments from repukes, but hers stands out as among the dumbest.
