The point is Octavius, I bet most of us can predict what you're going to post on or about. Do you post anywhere else on Dave's or only here about evil United States?
This is the same problem certain other posters seem to be having also lately it feels like. It's also why I started the post about fanatics. (3 pages and counting)

I post all sorts of different things from economic to enetrtainment stories. However the US does come up often since this war will define our generation. The war has had a huge impact on the west as a whole in politics, economics, art, history, and society in general. See, when those of us who opposed the war post an article we are raving liberal, conspiracy nuts. Rather than actually dealing with the issues such as: the lies told to get into the war, the crimes committed by the administration, the billion dollar boondoggles running rampant, the unchecked power held in washington, etc. the right wing just calls us crazy. Those of you in the middle do the typically gutless thing and just appeal for everyone to get along even though so many great crimes have been committed. People like me and igotthisguitar, among others, may be left-wing nuts but at least when my grandchildren ask me where I stood I can say I did everything to make sure the world would not forget the crimes that where commited in the name of "democracy".

Dude, it's a chatboard. But I do recommend you watch out for those windmills.

I remember one thread on Gord's chatboard that got so much attention that it received 120,000 hits in two days and ended up in on Naver, Daum, and a few Japanese magazines. I wouldn't put down something just because it's a chatboard.

Knowing this board however, they would likely pull the thread to save on hosting fees.

Can we put it down because it was posted by Octavius Hite? Laughing

Just joking...

I wouldn't file it under documentary. I've watched the first ten minutes, and it's a mix of unsupported claims and out-of-context video clips.

http://aog.2y.net/videos/Battle%20For%20Fallujah/

Hours of actual combat camera footage in chronological order. You can actually see how the fighting went down, and it certainly wasn't a case of marching and rapid murdering as the link you provided seems to be leaning towards.

Bad s**t happens in war. Can you believe it? Does that mean war is unecessary?

It's all part of the yin-yang, vibrating strings vs. dark matter thing. Deal with it. Rolling Eyes

The reason for going to war in Iraq was to rid Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction. 33 months later, no weapons of mass destruction have been found. Does this mean the war in Iraq was completely necessary?

1. They got Saddam.

2. It means they have a nice base area to invade Iran, which has always been perceived as more of a real threat. It's all about keeping them in check.

3. Where would the Muslim world be now, and more importantly, where would Iraq be now if there hadn't been resistance by evil not-true-Muslim terrorists like Zarqawi, who fights with Sunnis, who are basically Saddam Hussein loyalists? How many public works projects would have been built in Iraq? How many lives saved? How many towns saved from destruction if Zarqawi and the Sunnis were not blowing up bombs in streets and killing children, not to mention, making a bad name for my religion all across the world?

Iraq would be well on its way to becoming a leader/economic powerhouse in the region if the terrorists weren't killing muslim babies in the streets. Which group do you think would do a better job of making Iraq a success story? The US or Zarqawi?

You are yet another non-Muslim who doesn't give a damn about the Iraqi people, and only wants to win an argument with a line that was old over a year ago. I'm concerned about the future of the country.

Suggest you watch the entire thing: former military members giving interviews about their website being shut down (if I heard right), a former British MP about the cover-up of the use of MK77, video of murder: wounded person on the ground, obviously no threat, shot again. Etc., etc.

The fact that Fallujah still exists is a reason we're still having problems in Iraq.

Please, someone get an Arab-English dictionary and let this guy know what the word I put in bold comes out as ...

Clue : It ain't a Spanish word that means cheese, though the spelling comes out as a little similar.

More clues for the clueless : Everything that has happened in Iraq is nothing less than everything bin Laden ever asked Santa Claus for on his list of things to find under his tree.

Tell me I'm worng, and tell me why.
