"I don't bother answering belligerent, hostile, insulting questions from individuals who are completely unwilling to show any respect or goodwill to those with whom they disagree on some political or religious or other matter. If you can't control your own temper or rise above having such a vicious attitude toward people you disagree with, why should I talk to you? Would I approach a snarling dog to talk to it?"

I am familiar with the book "Shock Doctrine." There is nothing in it that says that the current President has replaced the troops that were withdrawn from Iraq with mercenaries. That was libelous bullshit on your part. Libelous bullshit that is far too common. There is nothing in what Akenoten posted that confirms your wild accusation. I repeat the question. If OBAMA has replaced 120,000 fighting men and women withdrawn from Iraq with mercenaries, how many mercenaries are there and how many have duties other than guarding embassy personel and property?

You are the barking dog of this forum. A little yipping toy dog arf arf arfing at the foot of every conversation about certain topics. Too busy talking to educate on current US politics, you simply ASSUME that the graphs drawn your mind from the dribs and drabs of paranoid screeds that you have glanced at over the course of your life have continued apace. You have no evidence. You have given this no real thought. You just bark.

You are mocking adult conversations with your childish antics. Your "Chongo" writings are just another example of this mockery. You insult the members you talk to and this whole forum when you pretend to engage in conversation, when you pretend that you have the first clue what you are talking about. But mockery is your only purpose, disruption your only goal.

I knew you couldn't respond to my very reasonable question as to the numbers of mercenaries and their duties. I knew that you would find an excuse to evade the question. That is what bullshitters who get caught do.

Be warned. I know what you are doing, so does most of the forum.
