War Casualties
Has anyone ever done a study as to the ratio of the political affiliations of the war casualties? There have been rumors about soldiers opposing the war being sent home in a coffin, some with bullet holes in body parts that don't look that they are a result of combat with insurgents.

Are dems and progressives being fragged and is it a plan to purge the military and national Guard?

1. I'm afraid not.
It's not dems and progressive who have been targeted I have heard; it's bird watchers. President Bush and his cronies know that Bird Watchers make up part of the Conservation block, and so any soldier who is identified as a birder is targeted for elimination.

Does anybody here doubt that President Bush is evil enough to do this? Or are those unclear about President Bush's stance on the environment?

3. Assuming you have no evidence to back up your absurd claim
which if you did you should have presented right off, than no, I'm completely serious. And my theory about Birdwatchers b being targeted is just as substantiated as your theory about Liberals being targeted.

5. A rat?
Because anybody questioning your assertion must be a rat?

What kind of rat do you think I am? A freeper rat? A traitor rat? A norweigen rat?

7. I guess you should be gratful I did
Since it's clear almost nobody else considers your argument even worthy of rebuttal.

Again I ask do you have any proof of your assertion?

10. Poppy sent one of his boys with a supressed pistol
The bullet would have hit me between the eyes, but I luckily ducked at the last second and the round went past my right ear, so close, I felt the shock wave on the side of my face.

11. You must have good reflexes
But Poppy, isn't that the term for George H.W. Bush? When did this happen?

12. May 1992.
Edited on Thu Apr-19-07 11:05 AM by formercia
It was a subsonic round. It sounded like a Navy SEAL 'Hushpuppy' S&W auto. I didn't get a good look at it. I was too busy ducking.

He got a slap on the wrist but was never charged.

14. He was chastised for it in the Senate

"trying to have someone killed for what he believed" If I remember the statement correctly.

I heard it on NPR later.

The previous winter,he sent a team to Alabama where I was staying but I identified them from a picture in the newspaper, jogging on either side of him. The backup team flew into the side of a mountain while on recon over where I was camping in the Talladega National Forest. All 5 aboard the aircraft were killed on impact.

16. It's just a matter of time
I'm already dead. I have an incurable bone infection they gave me several years ago. I just didn't die as quickly as they had hoped. It's MRSA and has resisted every antibiotic the doctors have tried.
