First, I'll ask if you have any cites for these.
No? Ok, I'll answer them one by one.
I don't see any media outlets saying this. They're quite content to garner the increased ratings that things like this give them. They're actually hoping that the war goes well into May, sweeps month, so they can show high ratings to their sponsers, and get higher ad revenue. Personally, I wish it didn't start.- The war must end in a week, 10 days at the most.
If it didn't start, there wouldn't be any US causualties, would there? Who's saying this, other than the mothers and fathers or the troops, and concerned Americans?- There must be no U.S. casualties.
Cite? Oh yeah, I askes you for one before. But then again, if there was no war....- There must be no capture of coalition forces.
Funny, but people who are concerned about human life, and the US's reputation in the world are concerned about this stuff, too. And just maybe, if we didn't start this war....- There must be no deaths from friendly fire.
- There must be no deaths from accidents.
- No Iraqi civilians can be killed in the process.
- No Iraqi schools, mosques or hospitals can be damaged.
Wow, this sounds like somethins Bush Inc. would want too. After all, they're the ones who claim this is to "liberate" Iraq.- Our troops must be welcomed by Iraqis waving American flags.
I would think Bush would want this, too. After all, if we don't find any, isn't one of the main reasons gone? Doens't the "war for oil" stance gain much strength? At the very least, it makes our intelligende community look... unintelligent?- We must find weapons of mass destruction.
Rumsfeld said yeterday that if Saddam dies, the war is over. Sounds like that's what he wants, doesn't it?- We must kill or capture Saddam Hussein and his sons.
I'm starting to believe that you're spoofing a neo-con. This is just too funny. So I guess that Chaney want oil well fires?- There can be no oil well fires or other environmental disasters.
Oh, wait! He does! He gets cash to clean them up! I forgot... Haliburton already has a contract.
Too late for that, isn't it? Can defense spending grow beyond 50% of the world total? Is that ok?- Defense spending cannot grow beyond the current 3.5% of GDP
Obviously, that's where you are.I see a signpost up ahead. Next stop....the Twilight Zone
