Well, T, just what I expected from you. Now lets say that the roles were reversed and the Iragi Army was the one with the hihg tech weapons and invaded the US and lets say they dropped 30,000 bombs on our army, many of them on forts and barracks and lets say they killed a lot (since numbers are a distraction for you) of our soldiers, amny who were fast asleep. Would you not consider the deaths of these men to be "innocents"? I would. Maybe that's where we have a different way of looking at things.

Now, especially as the facts surrounding the fabrrications used in justifying the invasion in the first palce are slowly coming to light, I don't think it is farfetched to include many, if not a majority, of those "combatants" wyho were trying to "defend" their country, as "innocents". Do you really believe that a majority of those in the Iraqi army had personally killed, tortured or maimed a fellow countryman, T.? I don't. And I would doubt that you could argue the other side effectively. But then again, we don't know.

Now, as fir the *shrunken heads* remark, if you took that *literal* than this in itself speak volumes about your little world in the middle of your magnifying glass. Puffery, when blatently obvious, is not lieing, my friend. We both know it. Now if I had said that Bush was going to bring the bodies here for viewing, well, that, given Bush's personality is fiesable and there fore would certainly be out of bounds fir this ol' hillbilly. But I didn't say that.

BTW, if you can come up wigth that *actual* Iraqi death total (civilian and "combatants"), I'll be more than glad to use it in future posts...

BTW, T, what's your take on why the kids were shot up so bad? What, do you think they continued to defend themselves after taking the first half a dozen rounds?

And lastly, T, I'm real curious why more effort was not made to capture these guys. You'd think they could provide a lot of information. Seems like your administration seems to be in some big hurry all the time. Hust like when they were selling the war. Big hurry. Like, what's the big danged hurry, T. Seems to me that a lot more effort could have gone into trying to get these guys alive. Oh, yeah, that would have lost the *distraction* effect that Bush so desperately is seeking.

There, T'zer, I given you lots of thinks to but into the T-Blender and ponder but I'm fully confident in yer ability to twist it all up to fit yer perspective, so have at it. You do have that knack for, in the words of Bob Dylan, "turning the daytime black...".
