Its not a matter of being picky, but we must see that this word is being used in its wrong context constantly, especially by the muslims that crave war.[/quote]
I feel no such compulsion. It's their language, and I am not inclined to given them instructions in either Arabic or Islam. They chose the word. It has a nice ring to it.
The only duty I have is to cram it down their throats.
[quote]Well why the heck do we keep bothering them then? It has to be a religious or racial issue then? Or is it that everyone else is just jealous about them having all the oil?[/quote]
Probably "all of the above".
[quote]Well maybe he decided to say something that was accurate for once. [/quote]
LOL
Well it's at least as accurate as everything else that's popped out of his mouth.

This statement goes in line with the Bin Laden Friend or Foe thread... because on one hand you want to use their land and resources, but at the same time you do not care to even use their words in the proper context. Now go smoke that in your pipe. (Not that I encourage smoking)

Tis not I who corrupted the word, but the radical Mohammed wannabes. I merely said I feel no compulsion to educate them.
Go smoke that in my pipe? Will it get me high? ;D

From ABC News:
Subject: Two weeks into the war, a live report early this afternoon from
ABC NEWS Radio's Bob Schmidt told the story:
"I AM RIGHT NOW STANDING ON THE TARMAC OF SADDAM INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT IN
BAGHDAD. IT IS PITCH BLACK. THE UNITED STATES ARMY THIRD INFANTRY
DIVISION
LED BY CHARLIE COMPANY 2-7 INFANTRY WHICH I'VE BEEN TRAVELLING WITH
HAS
ENTERED THE AIRPORT. IT'S BUSTED THROUGH THE GATES...MEETING ALMOST
NO
IRAQI OPPOSITION AT ALL. WE ARE NOW PARKED IN A BRADLEY FIGHTING
VEHICLE
ON THE TARMAC. THERE WAS SOME GUNFIRE, A COUPLE OF TRUCKS
DESTROYED, BUT
THERE'S NO EVIDENCE AT ALL OF ANY IRAQI OPPOSITION HERE."
[hr]
In Chris Bury's "Big Picture" tonight, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
makes it abundantly clear the U.S. will not enter into any negotiations
with the Iraqi regime to end the war. "For the senior leadership," he
announced, "there is no way out." The U.S. will accept nothing short of a
full surrender. Bury, anchoring from Washington, may be talking with one
of our military consultants about the dangers that still lie ahead for
U.S. troops as they prepare to move into Baghdad proper.

From CNN:
-- U.S. intelligence analysis determines tapes shown on Iraqi TV of Saddam Hussein were made
before war started, CNN has learned.
Stranger! We did it before the US intelligence could determine it

From Deseret News:
WILL IRAQ BOMB HOLY SITES?
Prime Minister Tony Blair charged on Wednesday that Saddam Hussein planned to
harm Muslim shrines in Iraq and pin responsibility for the desecration on allied
troops.
