Hidden booby traps don't work on this idiot. I have purposely altered some numbers from time to time (not too much) and no one ever takes the bait. If I say that 75,000 children are expected this next YEAR rather than this next MONTH (which was reported) no one disagreed with me. They indicated that they don't have much knowledge of the topic.I started posting here in 2010/2011... I'm not exactly new here. I remember seeing you argue in the Kansas forums in 2011.
Later I have to come back (like this) and quietly correct the numbers.
You're new here, FuckZup (what I call YR) is like the idiot cousin that comes to every family reunion. He tries to feel up his cousins, drinks too much, and tells lies that everyone (except the most innocent) knows are lies.
Oh, I've had FuckZup on ignore now for over a year. The only time I get to see what he spews is when someone reflects it in a quote. Hasn't gotten any better. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

The booby-traps that I've used here have worked against the opposition here in one form or another. It worked wonders on one of the posters here, but they've worked on the others on here too. The booby-traps I use go beyond just using the wrong word, misspelled word, or other basic grammar errors.
The booby-traps also include more complex tactics like using specific concepts in an argument. Everyone in the opposition on this thread have pretty much behaved the way I expected them to behave based on specific, deliberate, tactics and concepts that I've used in this thread.
Exactly how many times does it have to be explained that Bush did NOT go to war illegally. He had prior authorization from the treaty signed by Hussein and he went to the Congress (when he didn't have to) and they voted for war.As long as these people are driven by ignorance, arrogance, and emotion-based hate, you're going to continue to have to explain to them that Bush didn't go to war illegally. You pointed out a cold hard fact that most people miss. The mainstream media barely covers it, and liberal lapdogs continued to choose to be ignorant of the facts.
As for ill fated and ill advised, how people did we lose FIGHTING the war and how many did we lose trying to keep the peace. The democrats (that's you) supported the war and opposed the peace. Isn't that strange. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
The cease-fire that we had with Iraq wasn't a declaration of peace. It was a postponement of the war. It put the war on hold. The moment Saddam violated his end of the agreement was the moment we had every right to go in and invade Iraq. We gave diplomacy a chance, twice, before going in.
To them, "ill-fated," and "ill-advised," is something that they disagree with. I use quotation here strongly as mostly the ignorant and stupid will argue that this war was "ill-fated," and "ill-advised." Anybody that knows non-revised history, as well as geopolitical and geostrategic events today, would know that going into Iraq, after going into Afghanistan, was a mark of genius.
Our invasion of Iraq created a situation that turned the Middle East into a checkerboard pattern of democratic countries. It was this checkerboard pattern that facilitated the beginning of the Arab spring. What was required was action from the White House to amplify the positive effect of that movement while minimizing the negative effect.
That was supposed to be the next phase of major democratization of northern Africa and Middle East. Some parts of that movement have achieved success without the US help. Others are floundering because of lack of action from the US.
The US government was supposed to remain engaged in that area politically and economically. Instead, they chose disengagement.
It's blatantly obvious that the opposition on this thread is clueless about real history.
Check this out, especially the last two:
"Consequently, like our Vietnam War veteran brothers and sisters before us, we're looking at dismay at how the lack of political will in DC is undoing our accomplishments in Iraq." -- herfacechair, June 15, 2014
"It was up to the politicians in Washington DC, specifically the current administration, to continue to build on what we started over there." -- herfacechair, June 15, 2014
"The current crisis in Iraq stemmed from the current administration's failure to capitalize on the initial crisis in Syria." -- herfacechair, June 15, 2014
"The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against Assad--there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle--the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled," -- Hillary Rosdham Clinton, August 2014
