afoaf said:
whether you agree with the war or the president,
we have brothers and sisters over there right now
that need to know that the rest of us back here in
the US support them.

it's kennedy's right to speak out like this, it's powell's
right to reprimand him, but there's a better way to
critique than to give soldiers the impression that they
are doomed and no one cares.



Yup.

Of course, Powell does represent the president - he doesn't have the right to express his own opinion in public without considering how it'll reflect on the president.

You can see how Kennedy's words might be found to be encouraging to America's enemies in Iraq can't you?

what's worse, the terror of following orders or
the terror that they will have to return to a
post-war united states like that of vietnam?

these people are just doing their jobs, let's not
forget that.

this is the administration's doing, not theirs.

Please explain. I know that an Iraqi politician saying that he thought war was wrong would hardly make me want to kill anyone.

(BTW I have no enemies in Iraq that I am aware of. Maybe here on this board, but not in Iraq. :wink:)

You can see how Bush's actions might be found to be creating more enemies in Iraq can't you? Notice the uniting of groups that hate each other (Sunnis and Shi'ites) to fight a common foe.

The proof is in the pudding.

:thumbup:

I think being occupied by a foreign army, helicopters firing missiles into civilian areas, 70% unemployment, complete anarchy, third world healthcare and corrupt US puppet "rulers" are going to be *slightly* more important to the average Iraqi than the words of Teddy Kennedy.

Just a hunch  :rolleyes:

Kind of like since global warming is destroying the world it makes dumping garbage in the ocean a good idea.

Just because a situation is bad doesn't mean making it worse is a good idea. Besides, Swami was suggesting that Powell had somehow infringed on pumpkinhead's first ammendment rights somehow which was patently false.

I think you're way overestimating the importance of Teddy Kennedy to the average Iraqi.

Just because a situation is bad doesn't mean making it worse is a good idea

Why do you automatically think someone disagreeing with the Bush administration is going to make things worse?

Try looking at it another way - if Rumsfield and Bremer are the only voice Iraqis hear from America it could just as easily increase the numbers joining the insurgency.
