There you go again--mocking a situation that just is not fucking funny. MADem Aug 2013 #10
Mocking the situation? MFrohike Aug 2013 #12
Actually, you started some shit about this being right out of 2003. There are some stark differences KittyWampus Aug 2013 #14
Ok MFrohike Aug 2013 #16
You have a vivid imagination/chip on your shoulder & I don't even recognize your username…. KittyWampus Aug 2013 #18
So? MFrohike Aug 2013 #22
What debate? There is no debate about the use of chemical weapons--it's a bad thing to do. MADem Aug 2013 #17
Boxed me in quite nicely, don't you think? MFrohike Aug 2013 #20
Way to take comments out of context. MADem Aug 2013 #21
Calm down MFrohike Aug 2013 #23
I am entirely calm. The answer to a problem--like the deployment of CW--is not "Ignore it." MADem Aug 2013 #24
It is emotional MFrohike Aug 2013 #25
I just can't get into this with you. TLDR, as the kids say. You're interested in fighting, I'm MADem Aug 2013 #26
You made my point MFrohike Aug 2013 #27
I fully agree with your responses malokvale77 Aug 2013 #33
What point? That your outrage and morality are situational? That you can "look away?" MADem Aug 2013 #36
No MFrohike Aug 2013 #38
There are many ways to get involved without doing more harm than good. MADem Aug 2013 #39
It's an end goal MFrohike Aug 2013 #55

Helloooooo? Since when do two wrongs make a right? MADem Aug 2013 #35
So you want to add a third wrong? HooptieWagon Aug 2013 #40

These aren't large immobile weapons. HooptieWagon Aug 2013 #44
Just get both sides to agree to a cease fire?!? How? Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #50
There were people here who would have supported war against Iraq, if UN approved it. David__77 Aug 2013 #13
I want those CW removed--that's my focus. nt MADem Aug 2013 #19
That will take US soldiers on the ground. HooptieWagon Aug 2013 #42
No it will not. You are not arguing your case based on any understanding of how these weapons are MADem Aug 2013 #43
The two sides don't want peace. HooptieWagon Aug 2013 #47
Rummy said Iraq would be a few weeks, max. And UN Peacekeepers keep the peace so there has to Bluenorthwest Aug 2013 #51
Rummy wanted to put TROOPS in Iraq--that's not what I'm talking about. MADem Aug 2013 #54
Without UN approval, wouldn't that kinda be a war crime? leftstreet Aug 2013 #2
Why should repubs care about war crimes? Hayduke Bomgarte Aug 2013 #4
