QuoteIf I come punch you, and then pay for the plastic surgery, will you be happy?
Perhaps, "if you have cancer, and I hold you down kicking and screaming, and cut it out of you without anaesthetic, then try to help you recover, will you be happy?" is more appropriate.
I think I'd still be angry with you, and I'd still want to make my own choices, but you have done me some good. It's far from black and white, either way.
QuoteThat's actually closer to 5000. Blair admitted his original number of 400,000 was untrue.
Incorrect. The tag and ID teams are still working and the numbers are still being counted. It is 6 figures.
Quote>We did litle damage to their power/water/bridge/sewage.
?? There are places that STILL haven't been rebuilt.
Are you guessing? Are you getting the Army Logistic/Civil Engineering Progress Reports? Their general services as listed are higher than they have ever been under Saddam (and that was reached last October.) With the exception of oil delivery systems (which separatists groups keep sabotaging), they are doing quite well. I've been there, seen it, and am going back this month.

QuoteWe (the military and contactors) are doing incredible things with their infrastructure
A couple months ago there was a long and detailed article in the WSJ about what the contractors are doing for[to] Iraq. For example, they are rebuilding Iraq's electric infrastructure. However, even though the Iraqi companies and engineers said they could repair the existing systems in a few months if we would just supply them with the copper wiring and other basic supplies, Halliburton instead decided the better (for their profit) course would be to rebuild the entire infrastructure from the ground up. Oh yeah, and send the bill to US taxpayers.
Not to mention the Iraqi appreciation is probably tempered by the fact that we destroyed this infrastructure in the first place, necessitating the rebuild.
QuoteYou can't? I sure can. We wouldn't piss on Spain or France if they were on fire. We are already in Italy, but as allies. As far as Ireland, why in the world would we need to go there?
You can be damned sure you would if we had oil. You would even let us screw your behind for the right price.
Mate, no honor or pride in this world anymore, just money and power.

No, but we might if you decided to invade your neighbors over oil. As far as the screw our behinds? I doubt it. There might not be pride or honor in your part of the world, but there damned sure is over here.
