maybe in your statement. but lets look at your statement krause


""""Maybe I was wrong.''""""

you are uncertain as to the accuracy of your statement??? lol,,, krause it
is obvious,, and no doubt,, you are not wrong about some of the stuff you
post, obviously you are familiar with your topic,, it is just that you are
the lowest form of life,, your claims are made in false statements and you
lie like a cheap rug,,,,

I have been collecting your negative statements, lies, invective statements,
insults etc etc,, the real negative ones,,, I will email them to some
friends and associates as they cannot believe krause,,, no they cannot
believe there is a connection.

"""''Maybe you are as dumb as DumTuuk."'''''"

When was the last time the terrorists issued an apology? Of course, when
you intentionally target civilians it isn't logical to issue a statement of
regret afterwards.

"We deeply regret severing that innocent lady's head from her body". (nope,

The US military deliberately targets civilians, doh-doh.


Are you kidding me!?!?

No, why should I?

And why should I believe our military forces don't deliberately target
civilians? Because our military claims it doesn't? Because the Bush
Administration says it doesn't?

Bullship.



Then why didn't we drop a half dozen MOAB's on Fallujah and be done with
it?



Perhaps even the Bush Administration realizes there are some limits to
what it can pull off, eh?


Not by your logic. You seem to think that there's no limit to their
destructive ways. Remember? If Bush is the guy that is going to bring on

We're not trying to get confessions out of these guys in order to use it
for propaganda in the way the Vietcong abused our men. We're trying to get
information on the planning of the next attack. We're not looking for them
to "tell us anything". We're asking where they're staging from, who else is
behind the attacks, where the money and weapons are from, and where the next
attack is going to occur. The answer to any of these is verifiable in a
very short time period.


Throughout
history, those that endorse torture have belonged to a special club. You

Too late. Your country entered that club when the founding fathers fought
the American Revolution. Imprisonment, beatings, the stockades, deprivation
of food, etc. were all commonplance in that conflict and virtually all
others that we fought in.

I'm not advocating torture beyond anything that our Special Forces go
through during Hell Week. That's enough to break most men...especially a
terrorist who doesn't know to what limit we might actually take the abuse.
We have to at least create doubt in the detainee that they might never live
to see the light of day again...even if that's not true.

And you keep repeating this. But it's simply not true of terrorists coming
in to the country from neighboring countries that aren't party to the
conflict. I've already explained this to you.

Hi Stella:

So, your husband wants to buy a schooner. Have you looked at this one?

www.coveyisland.com then look under the, "brokerage", for the schooner

"Tree of Life" this is the largest vessel built by Covey Island Boats. It
is rated among the 100 best in the Americas.

It is one of the most beautiful sail boats that I have ever seen!

Length over all of 93 feet
Beam of 18 feet 6 inches.

This is a magnificent vessel.

Well, there's a reason why I read very few of his posts.

But it's stupid to claim that the U.S. military deliberately targets
civilians... it's pointless and expensive. Now, they *do* kill people
based on intel that may not be entirely correct, and they have been
blowing things up so that Halliburton can rebuild them... minimizing
"collateral damage" while doing so...

The problem here is that when you're playing with such powerful toys,
it's easy to hurt lots of people. Look at that pilot who flew under the
ski lift cable... totally an accident, totally caused by an excess of
testosterone, those people are all still totally dead...

You can understand why many people are skeptical of the motives of the
U.S. military; and *definitely* why many more are skeptical of the
Bush/Cheney administration. But the point stands- the U.S. military has
no interest in slaughtering hapless civilians.

Dresden, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, My Lai, Kent State...

Kent State is not the same as Nagasaki, Hiroshima, or Dresden, where tens of
thousands (even hundreds of thousands) were killed. In those three cities,
we*did* intentionally target civilian populations in order to break their
morale...and it worked.

As I've said before, you should not go to war unless you're willing to take
it to the worst extremes. In the wars which we have won, we certainly can
not claim the moral high ground. In the wars in which we *did* try to take
the moral high ground, we lost. Unfortunately, in this war on terror, we
*are* taking the moral high ground...and it's costing us the lives of
hundreds of American troops. We'll still prevail. But our guys are
needlessly getting killed because liberalism and political correctness are
handcuffing our troops.

If history has taught us anything, it that the winning side gets to define
what is moral and what is a war crime.

Remember the first Gulf War and that footage of our military knocking

Classic. And who was in the car? Who knows. There was no intel
indicating it was any connected with the military. Probably just an
innocent civilian.


No, I don't remember that scene at all. I *do* remember the car
crossing the bridge moments before the missile hit the bridge just
behind the car, and the jokes were about the color of the stain in the
shorts of the driver, who missed death by mere seconds.

The price is reasonable. And I have relatives at A.F. Theriault & Sons
shipyard where much of her work was done so I could find out what shape
she REALLY is in. But it is an WOODEN boat. Hubby really doesn't
comprehend the upkeep involved. He should, he has seen how surprised my
Mom is every spring when we just drop the boat into the water instead of
spending a few weeks caulking and painting and doing all the stuff she
watched men do to boats during her girlhood.

We are fresh water sailors and if this were to come to pass (it is just
a dream at the moment - but that's what I thought about the FIRST
sailboat too) she would probably lie in Little Current, Manitoulin
Island. He would like to sail her from St.John up the St.Lawerence and
into the Lakes.

OTOH, he is very near retirement and has a fancy to retire to Nova
Scotia (I told you he was more sentimental than me). I like the south
shore, Mahone Bay/Lunenburg area, unfortunately it is so popular with
our southern neighbours the price of real estate has skyrocketed. So
(were she to become ours) she could end up in Meteghan, on St. Mary's
Bay. The price of land on the French Shore is still reasonable (likely
to remain so as long the Yanks hate french people - luckily, many
Americans are too ignorant to know the 400 year-old difference between
an Acadian and someone from France).

Hmmm... Maybe I've been lucky, but I've owned a number of wooden boats
including 40 footer from the 1930s, and IMHO it's only about 10% more
work than keeping a fiberglass boat of similar complexity... provided
that the wooden boat is already fully sound. Rebuilding an old woody is
a labor for Hercules, but those who undertake it are benefactors of
humanity.

Maybe so, but it looks to me like most Americans are interested in

South and am considering moving north to get away from all the Yankees.

It was never on a grand scale. The institution itself is credible,
despite the mistakes made by a few people in it.

But you are ready to trash the whole organization.

I suppose you'd feel better if we had no law enforcement or
