My Fellow Americans, Our Long National Nightmare is Over

It. Is. Finished.

Boston's Big Dig, officially completed. It is to date the nation's most costly and complex highway project. Originally budgeted for $2.6 billion, it grew at a "better than Ted Kennedy" rate and swelled to almost $15 billion.

Marred by overruns, leaks, traffic jams and accidents, the worst of which took the life of Milena Del Valle (whose family just received a $6MM judgement against the epoxy manufacturer Power Fasteners), the construction phase started 16 years ago.

I saw the Zakim Bunker Hill bridge back in September. It's quite striking.

Some of the pain was self-inflicted, including the worst leak in the I-93 tunnel in 2004, caused by failing to remove debris that was trapped in and weakened the concrete.

Regardless of how you feel about it, at least they're finished with it. That's better than 70% of the software projects governments undertake.

UPDATE: JavaJoe links shot of bridge under imminent attack.

Yes, well, meanwhile we're spending 1.26 trillion a day in Iraq so that we can kill billions of more innocent children and add 5.3 cubic tons of carbon dioxide to the environment just so that the Bush daughters can fill up their cars with cheap gas and go out and drive drunk and run over black people who are trying to rebuild their lives in New Orleans.

Hey, I just realized that Iraq doesn't even have a billion Iraqi children living in it.

Boy is my face red.  5.3 cubic tons of redness.  Yup.

Posted by: Warden at December 25, 2007 04:56 PM (lcpKJ)

10 Well maybe they did have a billion children in Iraq before Cheney and Halliburton got there.  Did any one count them?  There could have been a billion of them.  And if there arn't a billion there now, maybe they were killed.  Prove me wrong if you can.

The Cubic Ton is real!

I've seen it.  One night it stomped right into my backyard and ate my dog.  Then it came back the next day and crapped out what was left of dog right into my pool.

That's when I swore I would get revenge.

Nobody does that to my pool and gets away with it.

17 Speaking of "tax dollars" (scare quotes mine)...at least the Big Dig is here and we can actually use it...opposed to:

Beelyuns in Aid to Crapistan Was Wasted

SLAMAJAMMABAD, CrapistanAfter the United States has spent bunches more than $5 billion in a largely failed effort to bolster the Crapistani military effort against Al Skeletor and the Shamalamadingdong, some American officials now acknowledge that there were too few controls over the money. The strategy to improve the Crapistani military, they said, needs to be somewhat revamped.

Money has been diverted to help finance cooking systems designed to counter curry, not El Kabong or the Minivan, the officials said, adding that the United States has paid tens of millions of dollars in inflated Crapistani reimbursement claims for fuel, hookers and ice makers.

Cool!  Much of the Three Gorges Dam's concrete was set up the same way.  Gonna be more than a leak.  Funny if it turns out China stole that technique from us.

I've been a Masshole for pretty much the entire duration of the the Big Dig.  It's been a mess and a cesspool and a ripe mark for shady contractors and all that, probably worse than what anyone says about it. 

Still, the Zakim bridge is phenomenal.  The funny thing about it is I don't even remember it being hyped very much.  There was this huge infrastructure project that was supposed to inconvenience us for a decade and relieve traffic for a year or something, and it was ok because we were going to fleece all of you people for 90% of the $10 or 12 bn it was going to cost, but nowhere do I remember anyone saying "and you're going to get a really cool bridge".  Then it sprang up and it really is a strikingly nice bridge.

Oh, and thank you.  You.  All you little people from the rest of the country who bought us this nice bride.  They light it up purple at night.  It's really quite nice.

24 Frank,
If you weren't such a right wing suckass you'd know that one hell of a lot more Iraqi children have died since we went in than ever before...and I never said anything about Americans killing them, we merely created the circumstances we have right now.

Instead of waving the flag and spouting jingoistic bullshit, why not take the time to actually read a few books on the subject.

That is, if you know how to read.

  I've always liked that bridge style.  I've never practiced on the structural side, so the particular details of the design elude me, but the lines of those center post cable designs always give me a little tingle.  Now, if we could find a 600-foot tall Harpo Marx robot to sit on the bridge & play the cables like a harp, THAT would be cool!

42 Fuck yes Gaul Chieftain.

Iraq body count, total, is 80,000. That's men, women, and children.
Which is roughly five months of life in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Tom, you can oppose the war all you want. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not to their own facts. The fact is the invasion of Iraq has saved lives, not taken them.

Yes. Like clockwork, moron.

Fortunately about 70% of America isn't buying into it anymore.

Ain't selling it. Doesn't change Point Numero Uno, that WE ARE KILLING TERRORISTS, which warms my bleak soul. Do you know how many dead I want in this war? ALL OF THEM, ALL OF OUR ENEMIES. That could be one or two, could be millions, it's up to them.

Only the thick-skulled sycophants...and the fact that anyone served has no bearing on the consequences of our ill-advised actions.

49 Vermisilly,
Yeah, yeah, yeah...you're the big soldier-boy and you know exactly how everybody in the military feels.

Like I said; it's old news, jerkoff. Americans aren't buying into your brand of right wing neocon bullshit anymore.

Also:
The last time Donald Rumsfeld saw Saddam Hussein, he gave
him a cordial handshake. The date was almost 20 years ago,
Dec. 20, 1983; an official Iraqi television crew recorded the
historic moment.

Then the two men got down to business, talking about the need to
improve relations between their two countries.

Like most foreign-policy insiders, Rumsfeld was aware that
Saddam was a murderous thug who supported terrorists and was
trying to build a nuclear weapon. (The Israelis had already
bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor at Osirak.) But at the time,
America's big worry was Iran, not Iraq. The Reagan
administration feared that the Iranian revolutionaries who
had overthrown the shah (and taken hostage American diplomats
for 444 days in 1979-81) would overrun the Middle East and
its vital oilfields.

On the--theory that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, the
Reaganites were seeking to support Iraq in a long and bloody war
against Iran. The meeting between Rumsfeld and Saddam was
consequential: for the next five years, until Iran finally capitulated,
the United States backed Saddam's armies with military intelligence,
economic aid and covert supplies of munitions.

66 And you know what Rumsfeld was doing in '83?

He was being realistic. He and the people he was working for were accepting the realities of the situation and working with the people who were actually in power, and presumably representing their people.

Which is exactly what Tom wants to do. He wants us to bow to reality, to accept the situation on the ground, and work with that instead of interfering.

Rumsfeld was working for you in '83, Tom, working hard to implement the precise policy you espouse. Worked out for you, did it?

Ric

67 Douchebag, Kurds, WMDs, you source it or you eat crow.

I already know the answer. Iraq had French fighters and delivery systems, had been developing CW agents for their forces since the 1970s, from riot control agents against Kurdish dissidents to the lethal stuff early on in the early 1980s.

The only option you have is to point out a possible link from the US to Iraq's CW program and you cannot, because there isn't one. All of our sales were dual purpose, and as such, if we SOLD chemical weapons to Iraq, then we also FOUND chemical weapons of the same type we sold after our invasion. They just weren't weaponized.

Neither option is a good one for you. So bone up on the crow already, dickhead.

Posted by: AD at December 26, 2007 01:23 AM (1f5Up)

75 Tom, read 'em and weep:

http://www.iraqbodycount.org/

Currently at 79,000 to 86,000 dead Iraqis. Which is a terrible terrible thing, but Saddam would kill 200,000 a year. So in four years, we've matched Saddam's total for six months or so of death. The invasion of Iraq has saved lives. More importantly, if the foreign jihadis would GTFO of Iraq and let us help our new ally, there would be no deaths. We are not interested in conquest, or in raping Iraq. We are interested in creating a new, stable, democratic country in a region that doesn't have any except for Israel. Oh, and yes, having a new friend to buy oil from who's a little more loyal, and a better ally then the fucking Saudis.

So let's lay this out again.
1. Less dead Iraqis then if Saddam had remained in power.
2. New democratic nation in the Middle East

Honestly, you read newspapers? Why? I can get raw footage, and uncensored reporting from the combat zone. Why would you trust the media that had Jayson Blair, Stephen Class, Scott Thomas Beauchamp, and the fake Dan Rather memos? The NYT is not worth the paper it's printed on. They make three thousand corrections a year. Fact is, journalists, even with there oh so difficult little degree, have no idea what they are talking about. They never leave the Green Zone, and they rely on stringers for their news. Which leads to the respected media outlets running stories which are exaggerated or completely made up.

I'd like to call for civility in this thread. Tom is not evil, just stupid. We can prove him wrong without calling him names. Let's not sink down to the level of the Left. We're better then that.

Sadly, that is more pathetic. It is a whole brood of losers.

Anways, unfinished business.

You said we helped Saddam gas the Kurds. Proof?
You said you wanted to negotiate with the Taliban, Al Qaeda (or whoever G.Bush is negotiating with, cuz we need a new direction!). Here, for the edification of your next-of-retards.

They must be so proud of you, TOM! Maybe one day your Deliverance cast can make complete asses BY THEMSELVES in front of the whole intratubes.

So fun time is over. Tom, play in traffic.

79 Britt says: "...Saddam would kill 200,000 a year..."

Really?

Can you show me any factual evidence that 200,000 Iraqis were being killed in ANY year between our Gulf War and 2003?

ANY YEAR.

Oh, and please provide one single form of legislation that has been agreed upon via the new and improved Shiite/Sunni "democracy" we've brought to Iraq.

JUST ONE.

Posted by: Tom at December 26, 2007 01:40 AM (1kwK7)

80 Currently at 79,000 to 86,000 dead Iraqis. Which is a terrible terrible thing, but Saddam would kill 200,000 a year. So in four years, we've matched Saddam's total for six months or so of death. The invasion of Iraq has saved lives.

Sounds about right. You have the Mukhbarat, Saddam's Secret Police. You still had terrorism in Iraq even during Saddam's time. You had the embargo and when you didn't have the embargo, you had the gross incompetence of the Baathists to starve the folks. Then you had the wars and then you had the purges and then you had the genocides.

BTW, Tommy, you don't get to pick and choose an era of Saddam's rule any more than we get to say that Charles Manson--save for that unfortunate killing spree thingie--was actually a pretty cool cat, man. But we all have rough splotches, now, don't we?

Couldn't you even be bothered to google "Civilian Deaths under Saddam."

We'll accept apologies from you and "your family" for suggesting that Americans in Iraq have caused more deaths than Saddam did. By the way, what was supposed to be your point in making that claim?  That Americans are evil people bent on doing wrong to others in the world? Do you really believe that we as a nation do more harm to the world than good? Can you name another country that does more to benefit the people of the Earth?

By the way, you're a simple asshole. Do bother to do your research before you make stupid comments, OK? That's been the bitch against you all along. I really do think that you're someone's sockpuppet sent here just to annoy us.

92 that exported chemical and biological materials to Iraq in the past two decades.”

BINGO!!!
Good Gods, let it rain, let it rain!

Biological and chemical materials.

And guess what, jagoff. All that stuff we sent over there, well we found the same shit again when our inspectors rolled through after 2003. But remember, BOOSH lied.

Here's the thing, chief. We didn't ship off weaponized materials. Dual purpose down the list. Like those pre-cursors. And again, the US had a small fraction of the total arms business with Iraq. French and Russian equipment filled out his inventories. Sorry, bub, the facts don't agree with you here.

Which basically fucks you, because either we armed Iraq with CW agents (these "precursors") AND we found WMD stockpiles (those "precursors") in Iraq after 2003, or we didn't and didn't.

Anyways, have fun.

Posted by: Vercingetorix at December 26, 2007 02:08 AM (IGbxn)

93 I see the Frogman still has this graphic up. America armed Saddam! In fact, the U.S. was number 11 on that list, providing about half as much as... Brazil?

And I see that Tom, like most Lefties, has ignored something about one of his favorite stories -- which is, when U.S. troops took over Abu Ghraib prison, they found documentation of over five thousand people who had been killed there, including four who had been buried in the dirt of the exercise yard so that their friends were forced to walk on them. Of course Tom wouldn't have any clue as to what that implies. He'll never understand why more Iraqis didn't Rise Up at the news of American atrocities at Abu Ghraib. The fact that people who've lost family members, hands, fingers, and genitals to the hilarious entertainments of the people he so admires were more impressed that the Americans prosecuted the perpetrators than they were at the ATROCITIES will never penetrate.

Those are your allies, Tom. Those are your heroes. People who bravely bomb markets and mosques because they're too chickenshit to tackle troops; people who kidnap babies, rig them with bombs, and hand them to politicians to kiss. People who hunt down torturers, and give them Government salaries, pensions, and bonuses for constructive activity. Lovely folks. Patriots! Freedom Fighters!

You'd join 'em if you could, wouldn't you, Tom? You and your laughing cheerful friends? You certainly cheer loudly enough when they succeed -- which makes you murderers and torturers by proxy.

Tell me, Tom, where were you on the evening of September 11, 2001? A bunch of us bedwetting rednecks were down at the local mosque, with our hunting rifles and bird guns pointed outwards. The imam's wife brought us tea. He's Sevener Shi'ia. Mean anything to you? Thought not. Your heroes and allies would love to kill him; he's had threats.

So tell you what, Tom: why don't you and your laughing coterié of murderers by proxy, and cowards who love torture so long as you don't have to dirty your own hands, just FOAD? You aren't informative, and you sure as Hell aren't funny. You're just a murderer and genocidist who's too delicate and cowardly to do your own dirty work.

Tom,

Can you show me any factual evidence that 200,000 Iraqis were being killed in ANY year between our Gulf War and 2003?

ANY YEAR.

Gee, that's a real tough one, Tommy.  Let's see, to make it slightly challenging, I'll restrict myself to sources that you would find credible.  That made it take me about 3 minutes.

Raid Juhi, chief investigative judge for the Iraqi court now trying Mr. Hussein in another case, said during a visit here on Saturday that the court had documentary evidence, and statements from witnesses, showing that at least 100,000 Shiites, and possibly 180,000, died in the 1991 repression.

And that doesn't count the Kurds killed in the same time frame during the rebellion.  Or the decimation of the Marsh Arabs, whose genocidal campaign by Saddam brought their population from 500,000 down to 20,000..

I'd bring my family over to point and laugh at your idiocy, but you've grown so boring by now.

This link is to one of the source documents that documents Saddam's use of chemical agents during the Iran-Iraq war, which started out with CS gas (tear gas) in 1982, tabun and mustard gas in 1983-1984. Go ahead and search that website, Global Security, you'll find alot of actual documents, rather than regurgitated garbage a la SFGate.

For Tom's cyst of mongoloids--ouch, even I'm cringing after that, but fuck it--that's called 'primary sourcing.' After you kids get out of primary skool and on to Koledge, you might have to use some of that. Pay attention, kiddies.

101 Oh, and BTW, Tom, I see you've been reading polls again. I'd watch that, if I were you. It's habit forming.

I'm a Republican. I support the war in Iraq, and in general I support George Bush. But if you polled me and asked me if I thought Bush had done a good job as President, I would check the "NO" box, and if you asked if I thought the war had been properly prosecuted I would check the "NO" again, and with a right good will. And Zogby, or Rasmussen, or the rest of the DNC apologists, would lump me in that 70%, and you would cheer. Prematurely, because it's a damn lie.

I disapprove for reasons entirely different from those you have, reasons I see no way to believe you would or could ever appreciate. There are a lot of people around who think similarly. How do I know that? -- well, I watch and smile as Pelosi and Reid repeatedly fold when their bluff is called. I know why, too. The new Democrats who defeated Republicans and gave you your majority did not do so on platforms of defeatism and Blame America First, and when something like that comes up they start getting cards and letters, phone calls, emails, and personal visits from their constituents telling them in no uncertain terms not to go along. And they don't, and Nancy and Harry go down in flames again, and George Bush smiles. Actually, by now it's really getting to be the "smirk" you always accuse him of. Deservedly so.

So laugh, creep. Enjoy the murder, and cheer the bombers. Just be sure to keep your hands clean. Keeping your nose that high in the air makes the stink more noticeable.

Ric

For fuck's sake, Tom, YES, he did.  And everyone on the planet but you heard about it.  After the Gulf War, there was a huge uprising in Iraq.  At one point the rebels controlled something like 15 out of 18 provinces.  Then Saddam brought in helilcopter gunships and tore the rebels apart.  To his shame, GHW Bush didn't bring in airpower to stop it anywhere except over the Kurdish areas.

That's a short synopsis, but I  can't believe you never heard of any of this.  Seriously, if you never heard of it, you're a -complete- moron.

117 Quinn: Show me where 200,000 deaths appear in this report:

    The 1991 Uprising in Iraq And Its Aftermath

                           Copyright  June 1992 by Human Rights Watch

                                                Summary  

            Saddam Hussein's record of brutally suppressing even mild dissent is well-known.  When the March 1991 uprising confronted his regime with the most serious internal challenge it had ever faced, government forces responded with atrocities on a predictably massive scale.  The human rights repercussions continue to be felt throughout the country.

            In their attempts to retake cities, and after consolidating control, loyalist forces killed thousands of unarmed civilians by firing indiscriminately into residential areas; executing young people on the streets, in homes and in hospitals; rounding up suspects, especially young men, during house-to-house searches, and arresting them without charge or shooting them en masse; and using helicopters to attack unarmed civilians as they fled the cities.

            One year later, the fate of thousands of Kurds and Shi'a who were seized during the suppression of the uprising remains unknown.  While many are believed to be in detention, the government has provided little information about their location and legal status.

            The rebels also committed gross abuses during the uprising, summarily executing suspected members of the security forces, including many who were in custody.  Middle East Watch also condemns these abuses, though we note that they were not so systematic and sustained as those committed by the government.

            Over 100,000 Kurds and Shi'a who fled cities where the conflicts were particularly fierce remain displaced inside Iraq, and another 70,000 civilians are in refugee camps in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran.  Despite the harsh life they lead in these camps or as displaced persons in rebel-held northern Iraq or in the southern marshes, they have not gone home because they are afraid or because their homes have been destroyed.

Military family members share public's division on Iraq war, Bush Polls: Almost half say invasion was a mistake

Close family members of U.S. troops are split on whether the Iraq invasion was a mistake, and 55% disapprove of President Bush's job performance, according to USA TODAY/Gallup Polls focusing on immediate relatives of servicemembers.

"They've maxed out on the troops. You've got guys who are over there on their fourth or fifth tours. It's ridiculous," says Jeanette Knowles, 40, of Mountain Home, Idaho, whose brother, Jeff, served a tour in Iraq with the Oregon National Guard.

Among Americans without military relatives, 59% say the invasion was a mistake, compared with 49% of immediate family members.

The data on close relatives of troops were gleaned from four national polls between Sept. 7 and Dec. 2. The polls identified 548 people as wives, children, parents, siblings, grandparents or a close in-law of a servicemember. Among them are 301 people whose loved ones served in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Among military families, 55% disapprove of Bush's performance compared with 64% of Americans without relatives in the service in the latest USA TODAY/Gallup Poll. Men in military families are more approving of Bush (47%) than female relatives (36%).

119 Quinn:  Relating to the 1991 "uprising" and how WE badly we felt about the horrible things that you're sooooooooooooo upset about:
U.S. non-intervention

The Iraqi survivors and American critics of the President George H.W. Bush say that the president encouraged the rebellion after halting American troops at Iraq's southern border with Kuwait at the end of the Persian Gulf war. Soon after the uprising began, fears of a disintegrating Iraq led the Administration to distance itself from the insurgents.

Officials downplayed the significance of the revolts and spelled out a policy of non-intervention in Iraq's internal affairs. Rear Admiral Mike McConnell , director of intelligence for the Joints Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged that "chaotic and spontaneous" uprisings were under way in thirteen Iraqi cities, but stated the Pentagon's view that Saddam would prevail because of the rebels' "lack of organization and leadership."

On the same day, Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney said that "it would be very difficult for us to hold the coalition together for any particular course of action dealing with internal Iraqi politics, and I don't think, at this point, our writ extends to trying to move inside Iraq."

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher explained: "We don't think that outside powers should be interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq."

Consequently, U.S. occupation forces who were stationed only a few miles from Nasiriyah, Samawa and Basra did nothing to help the rebels who rose up in these cities.

Tom:

So you think that the Human Rights Watch had open access to Iraq, and was able to determine the full extent of the massacre, as of 1992?  Brilliant, that is.  I guess the mass graves that were found after we went in - some of which are detailed in the NYT piece I first linked - don't add anything to the picture.  Or the documentary evidence collected by the new government.  What a non-profit was able to determine from outside the country in 1992 is all the evidence we need.

And yes, GHW Bush screwed the pooch on that one. He should've extended more aid to the rebels.  Of course, Democrats far and wide insisted on taking the non-action that he did.  But I agree he screwed up by listening to them, and it made our job more difficult in 2003.  But how is that relevant, other than proving that listening to Democrats is always a recipe for failure?  How does that change the fact that Saddam massacred 180,000 people?  Not counting his genocide of the Marsh Arabs.  You demanded we show a single year where he killed those kind of numbers, and I've shown it.  Time to move the goalposts again, eh?

What do these dead Iraqis have to do with the Big Dig?

I think it's because the Big Dig cost more, in dollars, than the Iraq war has to date.

Well, that, or people let our fanboi, Tom, derail the thread.

Ummm, wrong.   I, and many others, have posted evidence and links to information  that flatly proves you wrong on many occasions.   You ignored it then and you ignore it now.  In fact, look up, asshole.  There are links to information in  this very thread that you seemingly want to pretend don't exist.

You post your opinions like they are facts and  then get all pissy when people have the audacity to disagree with your fact-like information.  You continue to take discussions off topic, and then squirm like a little girl when you get called on it. 

That is why no one takes you seriously anymore and doesn't bother trying to engage you in discussions.  Not because you are scary smart, but because you are pathetically stupid and vapid.  Attempting to discuss anything with you is worthless.

So unpuff your girly little chest and dance for us like the monkey you are.  Truly, you mean nothing more to us than the shit we accidentally step in on a sidewalk, something that is annoying at best and, while difficult to ignore, does not enter our minds once it is easily disposed of.

139 More for Quinn:

Uprising in Iraq may be slow because of U.S. inaction in 1991

By JASON EMBRY
COX NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON -- The success of allied efforts to win the trust of Shiite Muslims in Iraq could depend on how tightly those Shiites cling to memories of their failed revolt after the 1991 Gulf War.

Many analysts say the Iraqi skepticism traces back to the end of the 1991 war, when the Iraqi regime violently squashed uprisings among Shiites in southern Iraq, as well as Kurds in the north.

On Feb. 15, 1991, two weeks before the cease-fire that ended the Gulf War, President George H.W. Bush called on the Iraqi people to rebel. He made a similar appeal on March 1, two days after the liberation of Kuwait.

But U.S. officials quickly voiced concerns about Iran's support of the Shiite rebels. The United States had supported Iraq during its eight-year war with Iran in the 1980s, and anti-Saddam forces in Iran said the U.S. presence in southern Iraq was a "bitter insult" to Iraqis.

"I'm not sure whose side you'd want to be on," then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said as the uprisings began.

Delegates from two dozen Iraqi opposition groups appealed to the United States for help. But administration officials repeatedly said they would not involve U.S. troops in what they considered an internal matter for the Iraqi people.

Troops defending Saddam's regime used napalm, cluster bombs and Scud missiles to defeat the rebels, and Shiite mosques, cemeteries and religious schools were targeted for destruction, Iraqi expatriate Kanan Makiya wrote in "Cruelty and Silence: War, Tyranny, Uprising in the Arab World."

The death toll during the Shiite rebellion was estimated at 30,000, with tens of thousands more fleeing to Iran.

Rachel Bronson, director of Middle East Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, a foreign-policy think tank, agreed that Bush's words implied U.S. support.

"They did rise up, and the administration got nervous because we didn't know who would take over," Bronson said.

Once again, Tom pulls out "estimates" of those killed by Saddam that predate our going there and counting the bodies in mass graves, or the testimony of his victims.  Doesn't it even slightly bother you that you continually actively seek to give Saddam Hussein the benefit of the doubt?  I mean, I know you despise your fellow conservative Americans, but doesn't shilling for Saddam Hussein by trying to use obsolete estimates that were based on complete guesswork as opposed to actual body counts cross any lines, even for you?

And dude, if you think what Bush did was so horrific that "screwing the pooch" is too big a euphemism for it, doesn't that apply to the countless Democrats as well who counselled him to take the exact course he did take?  And how can you be continually opposed to taking out Saddam, then get self-righteous at GHW Bush for -not- helping take him out?  Does your head explode from all the cognitive dissonance?

Posted by: Warden at December 26, 2007 07:34 PM (QoR4a)

153 Quinn,
The claim that 100's of thousands of bodies have ever been found in mass graves has been highly disputed by any number of investigative agencies, including the British, who say Blair's claim of 400,000 has never been verified, with only about 5,000 bodies actually recovered.

Also, may of the dead Iraqis were killed during the Iraqi-Iranian conflict, with estimates ranging from 300,000 - 500,000 dead on each side.

According to Iraqi public sources, the number of persons missing since the Iraq-Iran war ranges from 375,000 to 1,000,000. This reflects two main facts: The number of persons unaccounted for remains too difficult to estimate with any accuracy ;

Even if the minimum of 375,000 missing persons is correct, it reflects the scope of this unsolved tragedy faced by both families and missing persons. For each missing person there is not only one person suffering but there are whole families who wait for information or the return of their loved ones. (Something we should take into consideration right now...as Iraqis continue to be killed every day of the week and blame America.)
With the daily violence currently inflicted on the lives of Iraqis, tens of bodies are found every day, while countless persons go missing. While some of the bodies found can be identified, others cannot. According to official sources in Iraq, from 2006 until June 2007 some 20,000 bodies were brought to the Medical-Legal Institute in Baghdad (MLI).

Ooooh.  You -bolded- it!  That's awesome!  It must mean something!  What the fuck it means, though, I have no idea.  What the hell does the number of bodies discovered from 2006 to 2007 have to do with anything?  Do you think they didn't find any bodies from 2003-2005?  What a bloody moron.

And thank you for pointing out that many estimates range much higher than the Iraq government's 180,000 estimate.

You realize he essentially spent Christmas evening until right now parked in front of a computer?

Tom, you get mocked (among other things) because of a need to turn a topic that's not even remotely related into a discussion of Bush and Iraq - It's not like you feel any need to stay on topic, so there's no reason to blame anybody else for not arguing over whatever's going through your head at the moment or to spend time here crying about name calling and civility when you insist on acting like you have a stick up your ass the size of a yule log.

(Do you?  My apologies if you actually do. That was insensitive of me...)

It's pathetic.  It really is.  You have no life, you have no friends - I want to jump in this thread, but it's really sad.  I just can't work up the initiative to do it.

159 Warden,
Right now, on this specific blog, I post under the name "Tom."

I may have used another name earlier on this blog, but if I did it had to be quite some time ago, and I don't understand how that relates to this discussion. (I'm also amazed that anyone would give a flying fuck. I could care less if you post under 50 different monikers, as long as they're not the same as others on the same blog or thread...which I find gutless at best. (And I also find it hard to believe you don't know that others also post under different names on different blogs...for a variety of reasons.)

Have I ever engaged you or anyone else here, using their monikers to make inane points or to disparage them with silly "cock" comments, etc.? Would you care if I started posting on other blogs using your moniker?

*As for business school, I have no fucking idea what you're talking about. I attended and graduated from an excellent Midwestern university and majored in business and marketing.

No use arguing with "Tom".  He's the same troll who made a complete jackass out of himself here earlier this summer.  His brand of stupid creates a unique imprint that is impossible to hide.  No matter how hard he tries, he just isn't smart or creative enough to write in a manner that disguises who he his.

Get it all in as quickly as possible, Tom/Mike/MaryJersey/Geno.  I'm going to have you banned very soon. Oh, and Merry Christmas!

"Reading comprehension...think about it."

I did.  So what?  You brought out the claim - whoever's, it's irrelevant - that 5000 bodies had been recovered.  Then later on in the same post, you discredit that claim by repeating another claim that counts 20,000 since 2006 alone.  Who the fuck cares that some unidentified asshat in Britain made that point?  You yourself discredited it.  And you don't even realize how utterly stupid that makes you look.  And then you claim -we- lack reading comprehension.  It's hilarious.

And you keep bringing up ones that I don't even have to discredit, because you do it for me.  Or, you bring up ones that were estimates made by people with no access to Iraq or the mass graves that've been found since the invasion.  The Iraq government says they have documentary proof of at least 100,000, with the real number probably closer to 180,000. 

Now, it's extremely clear that you'd like us all to extend Saddam an infinite benefit of the doubt while holding his victims in the highest suspicion, but that only says something about you, it doesn't change the facts or which body counts have the most actual evidence behind them at all..
