cmh6476 1,126 Posted June 1, 2006 I would guess that cmh's boss slept in the Green Zone and not in a bed in Al Anbar province. Still dangerous as hell being in that country at all tho. yeah I'm not sure exactly, but I think its very commendable that he's over there seeing first-hand exaclty what progress is taking place, and trying to meet as many troops from the state and his district that he possibly can. As much as many of you Bush-haters would like to write it off, there are many positive things happening in Iraq. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toro 3 Posted June 1, 2006 Not that Moore always tells the truth (he doesn't), but how sad is it that idiots like you actually read and take "news sources" like WorldNetDaily seriously? Actually, the source is the book that the article cites. Once again, your reading comprehension skills are not working for you. Also, I find it hilarious that once I throw something out there that proves your boy is a liar, you call me an idiot for the source I used. Is it not the truth? Does the truth only have to come from your approved sources? You are so full of shat I can smell it from here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As much as many of you Bush-haters would like to write it off, there are many positive things happening in Iraq. I also think it is comendable that he is over there. I am just saying I would think many of the places and people he sees are more or less staged to bring a positive light on the effort. I am not saying there aren't good things going on, I just doubt he will get a full picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TD Ryan2 316 Posted June 1, 2006 Moore will settle out of court with the wounded soldier. This story is being picked up nationally now; there will be considerable pressure on Moore. I'm no legal expert so I can't comment on whether or not the wounded soldier has a case... but I don't need a law degree to know that it was WRONG of Moore to portray this soldier as someone griping about being "left behind by the government and military" when that's not the case at all. The guy served and paid a heavy price doing what he believed in; doing what he thought was the right and noble thing. It doesn't matter what you or I think about the war. It only matters what that soldier's thought were. For Moore to portray that soldiers beliefs in an inaccurate way is just plain wrong: lawsuit wrong? I don't know. Punched in the face wrong? Absolutely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the truth only have to come from your approved sources? You are so full of shat I can smell it from here. I didn't bother to read the link. I've seen World Daily. Net a few times and know that it's trash designed to manipulate dumb Republicans. I never disputed the source. I just said it's sad, that intelligent Republicans set up "news" sites to dupe stupid Republicans, and guys like you buy it anyway. How many times did World Daily report that WMDs were found? More than a few. Sadly, there are dumb people walking around out there who, because they read it online, believe it's true. And also, Moore is far from "my boy." I thought F911 sucked and I can't stand M.Moore. Far as I'm concerned he's the same thing is Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh. HTH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They need to see this at face value, so that they can get an accurate depiction of exactly what is taking place to help them draw their own conclusions for the critical votes they may have to make.

I agree with you, but I would guess that the trips are sugar coated. I could be wrong but my guess is that they only send them to safe areas where there is progress being made. I would also suspect there is a lot of extra security securing the areas that they are in while they are there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is his second trip since he's been in office, and I appreciate the fact my boss is dedicated and compassionate enough to make it a priority to see what is going on first-hand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering half the posters here don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're"...or "to", "two" and "too" I felt that was as much due dilligence as required.

Toro 3 Posted June 1, 2006 I have full insurance for my entire family, a 7% matching 401k, tons of paid time off and a sweet employee discount Take that! I have full insurance. Basically, the difference in pay, at least for my profession, between my contracting gig and a full time job makes up for more than the 7% matching and paid time off. The only difference is my job can be very unstable at times and requires me to keep a nest egg for at least 3 months of all bills. But it also allows flexibility in my work schedule and I have more choices in the jobs I want to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranksTanks 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Wow, Moore has a soldier that doesn't agree with him and supports Bush.... He's also recieved thousands of letters from soldiers, and published a book with most of them, that think the opposite. I have a feeling this guy's issues stem from something a little greater than a clip in a movie and is probably blaming the wrong bunch.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it was necessary to show how focked up the war is and to show what kind of good people are not going to get the benifits and help they deserve. It has nothing to do with the view the soldier has or the way he feels about the president. Got me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
