Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Thermodyne, I just don't get it. I've never seen anything that ever hinted at a possible US loss. Was someone doubting that the US Army wasn't capabable of killing thousands upon thousands of Iraqis with little risk to their own? Remember Gulf War 1? Over 100,000 dead Iraqi soldiers to the loss of 148 on the US side. Tens of thousands of soldiers died while fleeing Kuwait along the highways to Basra, defenceless and systematically killed. At least when the soldiers are charging suicidally at US positions they're not getting shot in the back.
As for the journalists, who really gives a damn. I watched a bizzare US news program the other day (I think it was ABC) where some blonde host was aruging with an Al-Jazeer journalist, complaining about the bias of the coverage. He pointed out the bias of the American coverage and the arguement went on. I kept thinking three words, "pot", "kettle", "black".
They are all being fed lies from both sides, what really happened won't really be known for several years. Until then just read/watch your bias of choice and cheer your team on.
