Seems like an awful lot of petty bickering here as we lose 17 troops in 6 days of August.

Just sayin'...

4. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't?

I'm not sure what's going on anywhere at anytime causes petty bickering to cease.

6. we should be doing what, exactly, karl?

I mean, c'mon. Is anyone listening?

[karlrschneider]

8. Sigh. No, it does seem nobody is.

:shrug:

7. Isn't that the reason for most of the bickering lately? I think those who are not just trying to

disrupt DU are very well aware of that very fact and that is exactly why many are so restless and angry.

[karlrschneider]

9. You may be right. I know *I* feel awfully frustrated and pissed off. I -try-

not to take it out on other DUers, an effort that isn't always successful. I just want to kick somebody's ass but I can't get close to the right ones, it seems.
:banghead:

10. And where is the M&M even reporting this that folks can't get all worked up about it...

while our Constitution is being shredded by OUR OWN? :shrug: I saw this news that you post from the BBC ONLINE...but who really knows about this?

[karlrschneider]

12. The getaway driver doesn't generally shout out the details of the caper.

Kinda like that...

13. Congress is out of session & so is the Iraqi Parliament.

US Troops will have to keep dying until that Oil Deal is signed. There is nothing going to be done to change that.

[Olney Blue]

14. We are ticking up to 4000. And our leaders aren't listening.

Tends to put people in a bad mood?

[LordJFT]

15. excellent point, let's focus on convincing our congresspeople to DEFUND

that is the #1 priority right now

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Right. We stop talking about it and USAToday tries to sneak in a poll

claiming that people are warming up to Bush's war. That's just total crap.

[robinlynne]

17. and our civil liberties at the same time.
