Gawain 0 #1 April 4, 2003 This is a link to a transcript of a common sense message from Neil Cavuto from Fox News. He anchors a very good business-news program. This is about the "criticisms" of the war plan... It's a good quick read. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Gawain 0 #3 April 4, 2003 QuoteI find it funny that the most vociferous critics are usually the ones telling all the _other_ critics to shut up. I won't argue that point one bit. It was just some plain speaking at a level where there hasn't been too much of that....So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Jib 0 #4 April 4, 2003 One commentator recently opined that some of the criticism was coming from retired military who rose in a system of massive armies and bombing without the benefit of the technology that exists today and the tactics stemming therefrom. I wonder how much the technological advances we have seen in the past decade have changed the way we wage war. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

harryskydives 0 #5 April 4, 2003 When protestors block a major bridge, in a city with a river running through the middle of it, that is a very LOUD SHUT UP. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,476 #6 April 4, 2003 >When protestors block a major bridge, in a city with a river running > through the middle of it, that is a very LOUD SHUT UP. It's a very large inconvenience. How do you figure that demonstrating is preventing people from speaking their minds? Is the "big dig" in Boston an even bigger "shut up?" It's definitely more inconvenient. I've noticed most of the "now you shut up" coming from the far right i.e. how dare you criticize anything that has to do with our valiant troops!

harryskydives 0 #7 April 4, 2003 When i was in the army every squad had a RTO that carried a 30lb radio, now i guess they all have cell phones. From the tv it looks like they have bigger mutiple use weapons. What is the standard armorment for a paratrooper?? (oh if you have to kill me to tell me lets wait untill this is done) Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
