This will make you sick...Part II

Jer 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?

 

I would believe our troops before I would believe the Iraqi government. Especially since it is against Iraqi law (that same constitution for an islamic state that we helped to craft and put into place, BTW) for Iraqi children to be adopted by people from other countries (such as America). They can only become guardians, and only muslims are allowed to become guardians of Iraqi orphans. Non-muslims aren't allowed to have any rights at all.

 

Yes. The "troops" on the ground told the truth in both cases.

 

In some cases . that may be true.

Read "Flags of our Fathers". It's been going on a long time. If it can help the war effort and the morale of the troops, why not make a little bit of hero out of someone who's not. Tillman and Lynch are good examples and no real harm was done to anyone.

But the fact remains that the troops involved in both actions always told the truth. All one has to do is pay attention to get the real story.

So to answer your question. Will I believe our troops over the Iraqi government?

Every time.

 

Yep.

The troops on the ground have always told a different story from what we get from the media. But you have to look for it. Agenda driven government reps and anti war pukes only tell us what they want us to know.

I thought everyone knew that.

 

:laugh:


God also says that judgement is His. You'd best remember that.:thumbs:

 

As in your example of self righteous judgement?

 

Interesting development, carpro has initiated the Pharisee Gambit. I have rarely seen this move in tournament play.

 

Not to interrupt a good debate, but I don't like that Pharisee word being thrown around, since they absolutely denied any power Christ had.

Just my 2 cents, and I probably overcharged.

 

Pretty much. Case in point - Donald Rumsfeld and the troops not having enough body armor and upgraded humvees. I followed this very closely when the Hack was alive to relay the REAL messages from the poor grunts on the ground. It was nearly always a different story than what the official spin of the Secretary of Defense. Also, even a lot of generals have told a far different story than what was told the American people by the Rummy. So once again, yes. And I sure would believe them over the Iraqi government, as stated previously.

And BTW, (with moderator hat on), please ya'll refrain from personal innuendos - the thread seems to be heading towards personal attacks, in my moderator opinion.
