Doublespeak gobbledygook. Is it 1984? Peace IS strength, silly. Anything less is weakness.

Since we're basically talking Bush's war against terrorism and al Qaeda we can't. Keep spinning, I'm running out to the store for more Dramamine, BushWorld is a dizzying place

so you want to push the facts aside and pick what deaths in what countries count and what deaths don't. . . . sounds like a fair game.

And you would prefer to place field goals in a baseball game.

You were the one who brought up "airplane missiles" in a discussion about Bush's allegedly successful war in Iraq. They would be relevant to Iraq because? Or deaths in Darfur would be relevant to the war on enemies of the US because? The box of straws getting a little empty?

If your hung-up on missiles I'll point out that one of the reasons voted on for war authorization was the continual firing of missiles by Iraq at UN airplanes patrolling the no-fly zone

And I'll point out that if UN airplanes are your concern then the UN should handle the problem.

And that the firing of missiles at patrol planes could more efficiently be countered by vaporizing the missile launchers and is hardly cause for a full-sclae invasion/occupation which eliminated an enemy of al Qaeda while after five years showing little/no long term benefit to the US.
