Mr.Josh /Slow Shoe:
This is in reply to what you have posted concerning my post # 34. And if I have upset and angered you...? if so,you have my apologies!!!, did not mean to anger anyone. My remarks were prompted by your post in reference to Brian Robertson (See the fallowing )
Brian Robertson wrote:Besides, last time I checked, my clients pay my tax burden in each and every check the write. What a country, got to love it!
My limited experience in govt. only involves Township matters and that's enough to make my head spin.
The govt./tax waste stories are news because they are mostly the exception not the rule and gets the wackos' panties in a bunch. If it was the rule it wouldn't be news (like reporting that "the sun will rise tomorrow")
My tax $ helps support the greatest nation in the world. No better value on earth; waste included.[/QUOTE]

So what it was trying to state was that...no I did not care for you reply or your thumb down to Brians Post.With that said, you may or may not of read Mr. Georges reply ?? He didn't seem to get his feathers ruffled in fact he found some humor in it. Now I did go back and read some of you past post's on the war and and the Gov. in general we really seem to be some what on the same page?

Bill,
As far as commanding officers such as General Petrais go, the ones that were spewing facts from the ground were replaced with "Yes Men" by the administration many months, so I wouldn't rely on the current set of brass to make the correct decision.
If you are referring to the troop surge, it had no real effect on violence levels in Iraq. If your going to point out the lower level of violence you might as well get the whole story.
The parts of Iraq that are stable are the parts that certain ethnic groups have successfully removed the other from the land by killing them and the constant threat of violence. The Sunnis have been removed from much of the mixed areas and Shias have taken their homes, the opposite has happened in other areas. Neighborhoods that were mixed are now predominantly one ethnic group or the other.
Basically they have ethnically cleansed these areas of each other creating a peace because there is no more 'work' to do. There is no stabilizing force in the region (US military included) beyond this type of madness. To think that there is, is the rational of a fool. Those of you who want to finance a war like this, can get a little group together, do some fund raisers and higher Black Water to go in there and shoot up the place. I'd like no part of breeding terrorism and anti-American sentiment.[/QUOTE]
I hope Mr. SlowShoe that makes clear to you why I wrote that post (AKA my reaction to your Thumbs down post to Mr. Robertsons post??)
So in the future I will keep you on my ignore list, and you can keep me on yours. And this way I won't upset or confuse you. OK?? The reason being is, I have no time to walk a Snot Nose 27yr old from M-a-s-s-achusetts thru a simple post who can only react and never was never shown how to act.
Best of Luck
