Repubs plan to Veto bill that will prevent Americans being killed.

[Enigma]

...Of course, I know this isnt the reason the Repubs want to veto the bill, but I was just attempting to point out how absurd the title and content of this thread was/is....

There's a term for this beahvior, oh what was it? (thinking).

OH YES!! (snaps fingers). I remember now! It's called malice.

mal·ice /ˈmælɪs/Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[mal-is]Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1.desire to inflict injury, harm, or suffering on another, either because of a hostile impulse or out of deep-seated meanness

But of course, you have your opinion and I have mine. This is called "difference of opinion."

difference of opinion
nouna disagreement or argument about something important; "he had a dispute with his wife"; "there were irreconcilable differences"; "the familiar conflict between Republicans and Democrats" [syn: dispute]





I believe it will cost more lives as our soldiers will be hounded all the way to the tarmac during the retreat as the Jihadists claim victory over U.S. forces. Then the jihadists will then come to our soil (no need to as they're already here) to continue the war with the justification that we killed some distant relative, friend, or fellow moslem whom the Jihadist is unrelated to. The Jihadists will also massacre every Iraqi civilian even suspected of collaborating with U.S. forces.

And you believe that the Jihadists will abandon the war, saving lives in the short term as they'll be too busy slaughteering Iraqi civilians, and leave the U.S. alone after we retreat as they'll be too busy trying to institute a Sharia run state once the Iraqi gov't collapses.

And our troops will come home feeling betrayed, bitter, and at a loss for words for their government and even less for their nation pushing defeatist agendas through congress and shoving it down voters' throats. After that, who would want to serve and be abandonded by congress and savagely attacked by the media?

The point is that the title of your thread is misleading, and flat out wrong. As is the title I used here....

According to your definition of Malice, you would say the Dems are acting with Malice, in order to hasten the defeat of the US army.

P.S = Define a victory in Iraq. I pay attention every day, and I have no idea what our goal is, what our point of victory is.

OK...how would you define victory in both WWI and WWII? What would have happened had the German and Japanese populace fought to the death? The only way we can define victory in modern war is through genocide or the enemy's surrender. So long as there is an enemy willing to carry out operations, the war is never actually won.

Theres no army to beat. There is no uniform or flag to surrender. there is no end to the amount of enemies that a civil war torn AND occupied country can produce. My point exactly.

Agreed. That's why victory cannot be declared as of yet. A better response is in the other thread.

And the title is not misleading. Again, read my response in the other thread.
