And, yet, the appeasing whiners of the world...

...wonder from where civilian casualties come.

Three Palestinians, including a wanted militant, were killed Thursday when Israeli troops raided the West Bank town, Palestinian hospital officials said. Two unarmed Palestinians were killed in the exchange of fire, and 11 others were injured, the officials said. The Israeli army confirmed that troops were making arrests in Qabatiya and that a shootout had erupted. (AP Photo/Mohammed Ballas)

well let's just round up 200 million people and kill them..problem solved..

[Yonivore]

well let's just round up 200 million people and kill them..problem solved..

Would it be too much to just recognize that Palestinian and Lebanese "civilians" probably die needlessly because it appears they treat armed conflict as a spectator sport to be engaged in by the entire family instead of, say, like the Israelis who bunker their innocents in bomb shelters?

Just asking.

Agreed, turn the ers into glass.

would it be to mush to recognize that just because people don't support your party's way of fighting this war as not necessarily whining appeasers?

Answer the question posed to you.

Answer the question posed to you.

when you answer mine.

First of all, he asked you first, second, I'm but an innocent bystander in this and just curious to your answer.......as well as his. But again, he asked you first.

I can recognize that these people are accustomed to settling their differences using violence. Their culture seems to be predicated on violence and the glory of death.

Typical liberal response. Whenever they are asked a question, they respond by spouting their talking points or else by asking a question. This just shows that they don't have any real answers!

I'm specifically addressing the whining appeasers that claimed Israel was indiscriminately killing civilians when, as is evidenced by this and other photos from the region, it is probably the fault of said civilians hanging around as spectators when bullets and bombs are being exchanged.

If you're not one of those people why the are you even engaging in this conversation? I think you just feel the need to reflexively disagree with me. I'm flattered.

don't be flattered I just enjoy exposing you for what you are..

someone who lacks common sense.

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they lack common sense. In fact, judging by the last presedential vote, I'd say that around 51% of Americans seem to agree with the other guy. And I reserve the right to use the 51% thing up until Novembers elections.

Your evidence is short-sighted and out of date.

Jackass, it was a joke, read the rest of the quote, "I reserve the right to use the 51% thing until the November elections". I see sense of humor and ability to pick up on sarcasm isn't one of your strong suits.

, RandomGuy might drive me insane, but at least he picks up on when I'm joking or not, you're just an idiot.

A lack of common sense is characterized by recognizing that civilians who hang around armed conflict are more suseptible to death and injury than those who retreat to shelter and that maybe this played a significant role in the apparent disparity between deaths and injuries of Israeli civilians and the deaths and injuries of their most recent opponent's civilians?

Wow, George Gervin's Afro's world is a lot like opposite world.

Well many more people now , and rightfully so, seperate Iraq and the war on terror. Does that mean that you now lack common sense?

Again, it was a joke. Clearly the count is no longer 51%.

I'm still trying to reconcile your le of this thread to your actual post. After reviewing both I came to the conclusion they do not correllate to eachother in anyway. I believe Yoni lacks common sense and is blinded by his political sun glasses.

Yeah I agree Republicans still believe Iraq is a part of the war on terror.. up down, left right..!

My mistake... I have trouble recognizing jokes when they're not funny, especially when they're so unfunny that they don't even resemble an attempt at being funny.

I'll try to do better in the future.
