Bush said the war in Iraq will go down in history as only a comma.

Yeah, good point. And by good, I mean terrible, confusing, and irrational.

Okay I'll break it down the young lady who stated that she served in action trumps a Bush groupie sitting @ home saying the war is going great and all the troops agree w/ Bush.

[shinerbock]

I can only go on what I know and what I've heard from my military friends. Whomever posted on the subject knows about her situation and the people she was around. I claim to have no first hand knowledge, rather only what I'm told by friends who've served. Presenting a biased witness doesn't really aid your claim.

Lets try this:

Paste where I said all the soldiers agree with Bush.

What, you can't? Thats surprising, another statement you can't back up, unbelievable.

Since you can only go on what friends have reveal to you I'll take the view point of those who know first hand about war....and I don't think she is biased...maybe when you get the balls to fight for your buddy Bush you would understand.



oh my bad Bush never fought either did he...he just quit the military.

One thing no one has discussed is the actual meaning of "comma".

com·ma
n.
1. Grammar. A punctuation mark ( , ) used to indicate a separation of ideas or of elements within the structure of a sentence.
2. A pause or separation; a caesura.
3. Any of several butterflies of the genus Polygonia, having wings with brownish coloring and irregularly notched edges.

caesura 
n.
1. Prosody. a break, esp. a sense pause, usually near the middle of a verse, and marked in scansion by a double vertical line, as in know then thyself presume not God to scan.
2. Classical Prosody. a division made by the ending of a word within a foot, or sometimes at the end of a foot, esp. in certain recognized places near the middle of a verse.
3. any break, pause, or interruption.

In the highlighted definition, a comma would be an accurate description of what is happening to the history of Iraq.
Plus, it wouldn't hurt some of us to have a grammatical review of commas, to keep posts from being one long run-on mishmash of verbal regurgitation.

Ax, so what you're telling me is that you'll take the opinion of someone who knows firsthand about the war, being the other person on here. Thats fine, and understandable, ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS THE SAME THING I'VE DONE.

The difference is the person who post a response served in war that's why I have to respect that person's opinion....not to mentioned that I worked two years @ the V.A hospital and about 99% of the clients (who returned from Iraq) were against this war.

[shinerbock]

I highly doubt 99%, but then I don't really consider you a valid source. I'll see if I can get a Marine friend to come on here.
