Prebuttal to Petraeus: The Surge has Failed

You always lace your arguments with insults. Is that just for effect, to try and bully me into something or is it just because you get off on it? Hmmmm.
According to all my reading and thinking, and what else do we have to go on after all, you are the one in error. I don't know all of Sadr's motives, but I do know, even if he disbands the Medhi Army, there's going to be a lot of bloodletting yet to come. What happens when Sadr becomes a powerful member of the government? He's not our friend.

People like you Hate all Conservatives so I'm going to humor you by Hating you back. I think that you're un-patriotic, un-American, and that you talk much and understand little. I think that you're 10 miles wide and 1 inch deep. You're thinking threatens the future of the Entire World and I stand against you. End Of Discussion!

That can hardly be true since almost everyone in my closest family are Conservatives. I don't hate anyone - part of my childhood upbringing. I may hate a person's actions or words, but I don't hate people.
You may not read this since you ended the discussion. That's okay. We've probably gone as far as we can go on this topic. Peace be with you.

UGH! Still having this same old argument? Me and 80% of the country don't give a fuck about Iraq. We are just trying to keep our homes from being foreclosed on, keep our gas tanks and oil tanks full, and try and hang on to our jobs. Meanwhile we're watching the dollar dwindle and our retirement accounts lose value by the day. Iraq can go to hell (if it hasn't already)

Wow, quite an imagination you've got there. Did you find the "way back" machine for that one? All wars are not the same. Where I stood during the Revolutionary war would have depended on my status, where I came from, my background, wealth, etc. Apparently, you can't think of anything current to rebut my arguments so you are making up these fantasies about the past to condemn me. More interested in condemning than in rational argument perhaps?

Well I think you are the one mistaken so I guess there's no resolution to this particular argument. I base my opinions on reading a wide selection of reports and some books not so much on gut reaction. I guess we'll see this play out. I think Sadr wants a legitimate (stronger) position in the government.Any concessions he makes are toward that end. We'll be seeing a lot of him in the future(unless he's killed).IMHO

I've enjoyed jousting with you. Ididn't really expect to sway you. Thanks.
