Sad milestone, American victims of Islamic terrorists reach 3,000!

Hmm, I wonder what the "milestone" of American deaths was in World War II? Or World War I?

And should the American president at that time have been "shaken"? Should they have called a halt to the wars?

3,000 American deaths is a tremendous victory. We're ready to sacrifice 500,000 boys like we did in WWII by 2600 AD.

Ready for Robocop soldiers?
 
They'll be welcomed in the grateful streets with, um, lubricants and shareware. All the world will hail the advent of American cybergrunts, and all resistance will cease while everyone sings "God Bless America". Right?
 
I can't believe you're posting this statistic without the statistics for the Iraqis.
How very primitive.
Did you ever read any quality science fiction?
Try begining with Dune....
 
Fine, then replace "Robocop" with "Sardaukar".

Thank God the Iraqi aren't Zensunni!
 
I find it interesting that you would equate the death of the invaders of Iraq as victims of terrorism. They didn't have to be there in the first place, and they caused plenty of deaths on their own. Don't get me wrong, our troops try to do their best, to do their duty to the country, but our leaders put them there. It is a sad milestone indeed that 3,000 good Americans had to die for one stubborn idiot, George W. Bush.

heh...

Mmmm. Spice. So that's why we're over there.
the spice must flow or the emperors Sadukar will come with swift retribution

American victims? American soldiers are occupying a foreign country, more American soldiers will be dying whether you like it or not, hey, that’s war. ‘Islamic terrorists’, how about you cut out the party lines? it sounds childish. American soldiers have been killed by Baathists, Nationalists, Sunni extremists, Shia extremists and lets not forget those that were killed in road accidents. War is sad for everyone involved, that means Americans and Iraqis.

We could have said the very same thing about our invasion of Europe during World War II. Why didn't we?

I would remind you once again that the greater majority of congress voted to invade, so it was NOT just one person as you'd have us believe.

It was a national knee-jerk, dammit! National, I tell you! More troops must be sacrificed for Iraqi Freedom! "We" (or rather other people's kids) won't come home 'til it's over over there (terrorism). So we must be prepared to sacrifice at least as many young Americans as in all our previous wars in this quest. The only good war is Total War! If we don't stop them in Baghdad, the bastards will be in Boston tomorrow. When we're done, we should go back to 'Nam and finish the job right. Look at how the commie gooks are running amok everywhere now. We can't stand losing, nor should we: We're never wrong.

Right, Baron?

Unfortunately a million or more GIs could die in Iraq (if we had sufficient volunteers to send), yet anti-Americanism and international terrorism will persist. What to do? Re-instate the draft? Or something more provocative? Should our righteous admonishment to the "Islamofascists" come in the form of a mushroom cloud, Baron?

Might that make more of 'em angry (don't ya think)?

Go home.

And next time it blows back on America, let's follow the evidence and direct our response exclusively upon the actual perpetrators without distractions. No foreign occupations necessary, just the whole truth about exactly who hit us. When the truth is found, then we can debate what we are going to do about it. As for the debate over whether the occupation of Iraq serves our national interests, it's long over. Americans resoundingly understand now that this war is bullshit.

So go and valiantly pacify Iraq on your own if you must, Baron. Or raise your own private Crusader Army. But don't ask for one more of our sons and daughters who have sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Our country is already moving on to more productive endeavors, and every American serviceperson killed in Iraq from here forward dies only to temporarily save face for misguided warmongers like you and the lying politicians you have supported, for the fleeting time remaining to your shrinking credibility on the issue of justified American military campaigns.

Interesting comments, Hype. But let's put it in a different context, okay? Here's your little speech in a different situation:

"It was a national knee-jerk, dammit! National, I tell you! More troops must be sacrificed for European Freedom! "We" (or rather other people's kids) won't come home 'til it's over over there (Naziism). So we must be prepared to sacrifice at least as many young Americans as in all our previous wars in this quest. The only good war is Total War! If we don't stop them in Germany, the bastards will be in Boston tomorrow."

Interesting when viewed in terms of past history, huh??

Americans resoundingly understand now that this war is bullshit.

Are these the same Americans who voted for President Bush and elected him into office twice? Those same Americans? So you trust those American people to know what's good and right? Interesting, Hype.

Our country is already moving on to more productive endeavors, ...

Many, if not most, Americans felt somewhat the same way during World War II in Europe. Would you have been so ready and willing to bring the troops home in that war, Hype? If not, why not? Or didn't your crystal ball work so well at that time?

Should our righteous admonishment to the "Islamofascists" come in the form of a mushroom cloud, Baron?

Dead people don't get angry, Hype. If we killed all of 'em, who'd be left to get anyry? :D

And need I remind you once again that the congress voted overwhelmingly to take the nation to war in Iraq? And those congressmen were voted into power by the same people who you now say have changed their minds??

US Forces did not land in Europe late in the war (1944) to find that Hitler had no weapons with which to threaten his neighbors. Allied Forces did not bring political chaos to Europe. Hitler was not nefariously blamed for Pearl Harbor. Domestic support for WWII did not plummet to less than a 25%. Our losses in Europe would not have been acceptable under discovered false pretenses. Your WWII comparisons are irrelevant crap.

"Dead people don't get angry, Hype. If we killed all of 'em, who'd be left to get anyry? "

How would you propose to kill a billion people, Baron?
