So you don’t really care how many Iraqis die do you?

You’re awesome Fugs. Just awesome.

Its very simple. You ‘ought’ to get it. The total death rate for people in that region -per year- was higher under Saddam than it is now – post Saddam. The overall total under Saddam, regardless of rate, was much much much higher under Saddam. If we had left Saddam in place, its fair to assume he would have continued to be Saddam and murder at the same rate. Also its fair to assume that if we leave in defeat, a Baathist or similar murderous authoritarian will seize power, make the trains run on time, and murder millions – again.

And I don’t measure this war’s success by casualties. I merely point out the absurd situation of liberals having voted for war and caterwalling about casualties. I insist on knowledge of history at least. And I insist that if leftists and go along-get along republicans prevail on surrender, they at least understand the likely price brown-skinned people will pay for their weakness.

And as far as I am concerned, our soldiers won the war (being major combat) part – we may lose the post-war part.

Dugger before you ask this question one more time you’re going to have to explain how this jobes with your own measure of the war’s success based on the comparisons to the numebr of people Saddam killed. Again, according to your logic a million more Iraqis could die in this conflict and you would still rationalize it as “Still better than Saddam.”

You are willing, in other words, to accept a great deal more horror than anyone on the left here is willing to.

Yea and there you have it. The old Mussolinni “but the trains ran on time” argument. Beautiful example of the liberal idea that as long as everyone is EQUALLY miserable the system is ok. Freedom for some to live their lives better is worthless.

Sell your souls for safety lefties, sell your souls….

Prior to the election, it was all about numerous cocky, arrogant posts in virtually every thread about how well The Decider’s administration would fare going forward.

Now, pedugger can barely muster the energy to kick sand in our faces.

Nevertheless. You stopped arguing content completely and degraded to juvenile taunting.
Again: why do you support more brown skinned people dying in the Mideast?? Its what happened before and its what is likely to happen when we leave.

Not very convincing, Dugboy.

Dugger, there is every possibility that we’ll end up putting “Saddam II” in power ourselves to restore order. It won’t be the first time we’ve done it.

Again, my position is that one more innocent Iraqi life lost in this conflict is too much.

Your position is that a million Iraqis could be killed tomorrow and the war would still be “worth it.”

Now tell me again who values life more?

It couldn’t have been easy assembling such a group.

–WKW

Exactly the opposite. Its you and frame that evidently value brown skinned lives less. As I have pointed out several times, teh death rate and death total for locals was much higher under Saddam and before Bush. If we leave, I think a Saddam clone returns and genocide returns. We’ll save US lives – but what about the Iraqi people Nimmer? OK for Saddam II to murder them by the boatload as before?

Ooops. Nevermind.

I have your direct reply in hand. We’re on the job.

We have questions about shuckalotta. Scroll down to Dec. 5 and check the comments thread on the post “Pencils and Chocolate.”

The question is: What kinda chonklit?

See, you guys aren’t the only ones who can throw out ridiculous comparisons without any visible point.
