Read the link I JUST provided prior to this nonsense from you and...just to mop up any confusion that still remains...I'll provide another from AFGHANISTAN proving my point.

Doesn't really fucking matter if my response was for the OP does it? Why not simply admit it was a simple mistake because of your shallow wording just as I admitted that's what I thought you meant?

Quote
I know exactly what I'm talking about, the forum includes many links(including one prior to this unexplainable post from you), my points well researched.....and torching your unprepared and wrong argument.

You've done fuck all. Just another corn-fed idjit who thinks he's a intelligent. My argument was bang on and destroyed yours until you decided to change it. You argued for three posts on the basis of Iraq alone and when that failed you changed your tune.

Shall we run through the course again? Okay:

here you are NOT talking about the whole world but rather only talking about MY metaphor in terms of IRAQ, Mouth:
Quote
Quote from: Ahkenaten
It's like saying I spilled milk on the floor and after spending a lot of effort cleaning I "gained" a clean floor again.

Yeah, Iraq was a clean floor before any al-Qaeda milk was spilled huh? Your analogy doesn't work.

You only mention Iraq there and you are wrong wrong wrong. It took Stephen Hero to put the idea in your head that you were talking about the entire world right Mouth? Yep.

Here you are again mouthing off on the basis of Iraq alone:
Quote
No, no it don't. Your analogy would mean Iraq was a spit shine floor before the milk spill. Nothing could be further from the truth. If blood, mud, guts, murder, rape, cocacola, sprite, and orange juice not to mention a healthy portion of sanctions, resolutions, war, invasion, oil for food, no fly zones.......if all of that were already on the floor.....and then you came by and spilled milk and cleaned it all up including killing the person responsible for the bigger mess...that would be a better analogy. The floor now cleaner than its ever been. Your analogy sucks.

^^ Clearly the subject you're willing to argue over is Iraq alone and my analogy works 100% and there's fuck all you can do about pretty straight logic: There was no al Qaeda in Iraq then there was plenty and now there's less -- that isn't a gain no matter how badly you need to lie to get your Mouthy ass out of it....like so:
Quote
Al-Qaeda wasn't the only issue...was it? You act like Iraq was a peace seeking free republic a threat to no one and a nation following order instead of chaos. You blind to the events prior to our invasion? THe Congress didn't authorize the country to go to war cause al-Qaeda was there. Wake up, Son.

Finally since you figure you can't hit that argument you change your tune:
Quote
Revising? The thread is about GLOBAL setbacks for al-Qaeda as testified to by the CIA Chief.

You are the one focusing and changing the debate to Iraq right here in black and white!

Which is not what I did. I didnt frame it only to Iraq it was understandibly my impression that it WAS only about Iraq because the only fucking sentence you use in your OP is about the fucking Surge and Iraq, idiot. Its what I had every reason to believe you meant. If you want to be understood maybe you should pick a lane and stick top it, Mouth.

Man I hate dickless little know-nothing Poindexters like you.

Because...you're still wallowing on that it was about Iraq only. And you're wrong. Again. Smiley

No, I responded three posts in a row...after your lame and tired spilled milk analogy that I cut off and then destroyed

Quote

that's correct, my argument does INCLUDE Iraq.

Quote

Sorry, I'm right right and dead on f'n right.

Here you are again dickless,

I am not.

mouthing off on the basis of IOraq alone:

Again, 5 links, 2 global, 3 about Afghanistan. Oops and A is way off again. Consistent error take practice or is it innate?

Quote
^^ Clearly the subject you're willing to argue over is Iraq alone


Pointing out that your analogy sucks after making a point regarding global gains against al0Qaeda was spot on and at the same time, exposed you.

Quote
and my analogy works 100%


Your analogy ignores that Iraq was a thug led regime of murder, torture, and rape hardly resembling a clean floor. I've dissected this cat and nailed it flailing to the wall, I;ve already asked for something better. It's obvious by your error prone beating of this dead horse that you ain't got crap. Go figure.

Quote
and there's fuck all you can do about pretty straight logic:

Provide a scintilla of it and I'll still probably be able to f with it. It's the source you see. Grin

Quote
You are the one focusing and changing the debate to Iraq right here in black and white!

Your post started with "let's get one thing straight"...then some crap about milk...when I was clearly focused globally and then corrected what you;ve already admitted was a mistake. Let's move on, you're high.

Quote
Which is not what I did.


You ain't done nothin, that's the whole point!

Quote
I didnt frame it only to Iraq


Whatever....milkboy.

Quote
Its what I had every reason to believe you meant.


But...you don't believe that anymore do you? And there ARE real gains against al-Qaeda.

Quote
Man I hate dickless little know-nothing Poindexters like you.

Firstly, I have a monster storied on about numerous times, clearly dickless is not accurate, I was actually considering reduction surgery. Secondly, I'm far from know-nothing, I'm absolutely dominating you on your own forum. C'mon.

Because...you're still wallowing on that it was about Iraq only. And you're wrong. Again.

No I'm pointing out that it was a natural conclusion to come to given the wording of your original post, and pointing out that because of that and the fact that you argued specifically on the basis of Iraq alone by taking on the argument I made on that basis, and then losing. You rushed to tell me that my 'clean floor' analogy about Iraq having no al Qaeda then some al Qaeda and now less was invalid because "Iraq wasn't a clean floor to begin with" -- which of course is patiently wrong. There was 'no al Qaeda' in Iraq before, so yes the floor was clean, the analogy was valid and you argued on the basis of Iraq alone. It's only after you failed miserably at this and it took another poster to come along to introduce the idea of the issue globally before you took up the argument on that basis as well --- not to enlighten anyone with any relevant information or insight mind you, but just so you could try and dance around like a puppy with a bone acting like you 'won' something.

The whole issue would've dissolved if you acted like an adult but pretensions aside, well, we both know you can't do that.

Quote

lol. There's that yappy little puppy dog again Smiley. No, Mouth, that's just something you keep telling yourself. You argued on the basis of Iraq and Iraq alone for 3 posts and you failed. Then you tried to cover up by getting mouthy. The rest of your contributions here have been optimistic guesses you pulled out of your ass.


Quote
Again, 5 links, 2 global, 3 about Afghanistan. Oops and A is way off again. Consistent error take practice or is it innate?

Again nothing, Mouth. You snip out a quote where I show your posts arguing on the basis of Iraq alone and need to cut it out to lie. Lets look at those posts again, since it seems you dont want to face up to what you said:

Quote from: Chucky
Yeah, Iraq was a clean floor before any al-Qaeda milk was spilled huh? Your analogy doesn't work.
..And:
Quote from: Chucky

The floor now cleaner than its ever been. Your analogy sucks.

^ You took up my analogy, (hilarious how in the example above you still managed to fail to understand it -- the analog is of al Qaeda presence  alone, not the state of affairs of Iraq -- just can't seem to argue without redefining what people are saying, can you? An intelligent person could.), and argued on the basis of Iraq and Iraq alone no matter how many times you wanna try and hide that. And you were wrong.
There was zero al Qaeda in Iraq then there was plenty and now there's less. Simple. So simple you can't even argue it unless you can bring in unrelated side issues. It was a clean floor before - clean of al Qaeda. That's what we're talking about. Not no-fly zones, al Qaeda. Your subject wasnt "no-fly zones and sanctions don't work", your subject was al Qaeda presence. If you can't even stick to our own definitions....well you sure as shit aren't about to 'dominate' any argument here with that level of scatter-brained 'say-anything' crap.

You took up the argument on the basis of Iraq alone and lost it, and now like a child you need to snip and cut in order to hide what you said.


You're not fooling anyone Chuckles. Debate, discussing ideas, information and substance and the value of honesty are as alien to you as any teenager.

A legend in your own mind Mr. Martel?  Your internet penis is bigger than everyone else's!

BD, with all due respect...I get the feeling any head on me is a whole lot bigger than most of the opposition I'm meeting in here. Now..in my sound judgement, the awareness level on this forum currently dwells on the average 6th grade level. If you guys get upset and ban me, that will drop to second grade given I seem to be skewing the f out of the graph at the present moment! Now c'mon! We're speaking here to gains we've made against al-Qaeda, my point has consistently been global the f'n thread is started and commented on from a global perspective. And even this causes massive confusion we've got milk analogies and Iraq only claims for responses.

A legend in my own mind perhaps, but only in this forum where I'm profoundly comfortable I've got enough game for anyone in here. Clearly. Cheesy

Just a news flash Mr. Martel, you are not the first to claim that.  It's a pretty common claim in fact.  And unless you either outright break the rules, or make yourself a real royal pain in our admin asses, you won't get banned.  We're big enough boys and girls that a difference of opinion can be tolerated.

Outright break the rules...what...call someone a dickless poindexter and get banned? I'm havin fun, why reduce myself to calling someone dickless and then getting banned for breaking the rules?

And BD...the all due respect I give is sincere. However, your admin asses ain't my concern here, I couldn't care less for them. I am in here for debate and a lil banter, your arguments are what concerns me. Your persons will heretofore be ignored..or I'll do my best....your arguments...Gentlemen....will be rolled out and carved like cookie dough on X-mas morning. Cause..if it's unfounded and politically driven nonsense, I'm gonna launch artillery at it. If it's this instantaneous anti-Bush knee-jerk cluelessness....I'm gonna stop the projectile party and invade. Wholesale. And ask questions and watch it all fall apart trying to stay afloat sort of like claiming a milk analogy equals a win or something equally ridiculous.

The gains aside, what concerns me is always perspective. The tribal regions of Pakistan are no doubt helping Afghan Taliban. They continue to opertate, I feel they will always be able to operate. Any attack coming from those trained in these regions will be interpretted as a loss for American or Western policies. Even though we can militarily control their homelands, we cannot limit their spheres of influence. There are recent reports of western white anglo-saxon looking terrorists being trained, that the Western habit of judging by ethnicity can be exploited.

"Gains" against al-Qaeda can be a very difficult definition, I'll be the first to admit. However...there is another reality here. Al-Qaeda and organizations like it that Israel wages wars with everyday(and Iran supports to the hilt)...seem to respond to raw military power. They cannot withstand American might, it does affect their operations, it does create chaos for their stated goals and aspirations.

Sitting here trying to 'talk' to al-Qaeda isn't gonna work. We must take a proactive stance here, does anyone deny that? Argue what you will about how we got to war, who got you there....yer there. Your nation is at war, youth in harms way, boots in country, flag snapping over Iraq and Afghanistan. And real progress is being made.

I ask that each of you read OBL's Fatwa, his and al-Qaeda's declaration of war, see the reason the conflict exists. Are we making progress, are you all skippy if you're OBL this fine morning? Look to your front, look to the status of this planet, look at your reality...who is dictating events? Who is the central figure on the planet?

Yeah....denial ain't no river in Egypt, Boys.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/business/media/23logan.html?_r=4&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=login&oref=slogin

Another clear sign we're making big gains.

Quote
Coverage of the war in Afghanistan has increased slightly this year, with 46 minutes of total coverage year-to-date compared with 83 minutes for all of 2007. NBC has spent 25 minutes covering Afghanistan, partly because the anchor Brian Williams visited the country earlier in the month. Through Wednesday, when an ABC correspondent was in the middle of a prolonged visit to the country, ABC had spent 13 minutes covering Afghanistan. CBS has spent eight minutes covering Afghanistan so far this year.

Both Ms. Logan and Mr. McCarthy noted that more coalition soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in May than in Iraq. No American television network has a full-time correspondent in Afghanistan, although CNN recently said it would open a bureau in Kabul.

And

Quote
According to data compiled by Andrew Tyndall, a television consultant who monitors the three network evening newscasts, coverage of Iraq has been “massively scaled back this year.” Almost halfway into 2008, the three newscasts have shown 181 weekday minutes of Iraq coverage, compared with 1,157 minutes for all of 2007. The “CBS Evening News” has devoted the fewest minutes to Iraq, 51, versus 55 minutes on ABC’s “World News” and 74 minutes on “NBC Nightly News.” (The average evening newscast is 22 minutes long.)

CBS News no longer stations a single full-time correspondent in Iraq, where some 150,000 United States troops are deployed.

Are you serious?  Now the right is claiming that MSM coverage is proof of big gains against Al Qaeda?  When all we hear from the right is bleating about how the media coverage is skewed, they never show good stuff, yada yada yada ad-nauseum?  And NOW it's proof of something?  Unfucking believable.

More than serious and if you had picked up on my meaning, the LACK of coverage by the msm is my point, Sir! The msm never showing good stuff is the consistent message here. Look to the link I provided regarding Iraq, the media compared to last year isn't interested in Iraq anymore because there ARE big gains being made. In Afghanistan, reporting is up just a hair, disinterest still the main theme by the media, the link reads that the huge media outlets don't even have full time correspondents in country anymore. Do you see that, BD....no American msm outlet has a full time correspondent in country...to cover a war...where Americans are dying everyday. You don't find that odd at all?

Do you guys even read the f'n links that I provide WITH my commentary? Cause...I get the clear cut feeling you don't. Biker Dude.....look at the link! What I'm arguing is the mere 13 minutes spent by ABC covering Afghanistan. Yes, I did say 13 minutes...CBS spent a whopping 8 minutes, how informed is our uninformed television Oprah audience? When looking to Iraq(not IRaq only mind you), coverage by the msm is way down and I mean a significant drop.

My argument is no coverage means something good is happening, it's another sign of progress. For.....if things aren't going well....you hear about it quickly. A mere car bomb brings analysis and "expertise."

And....would this be another good time to bring up process? Are YOU serious, Biker Dude? Are you even reading my posts before commenting? I thought what happened is you provide relevant foundation of news events backed up by accepted links to information outlets and then commented on appropriately.

Un-f'n-believable!

Always the same. They come here and dish out the attitude, name-calling and flame but as soon as they get some in return it's time to start crying.

Quote

Phffft. Whatever. You think 0 + 10 - 5 equals zero, and you can't seem to understand straight forward analogies, and you can't argue against anyone's point unless you distort or change it outright. You took up the argument specifically on the level of al Qaeda in Iraq, (period. full stop), and as soon as you can't argue that you need to start talking about the sanctions or the no-fly zones which have fuck all to do with it and when that failed you exited the argument all together and started your puppy-victory-dance.

You can keep prancing around here throwing around accusations of grade school level intelligence and 'domination' (lol!!) but you're not impressing anyone and there isn't anyone on the forum who hasn't been able to hold their own or better against you. You need to actually get smart and get educated instead of dancing around claiming to be.
