Yep, the same biggot-minded quote as Junior's "You're either with us or against us".

Damn it. I really hate the way you argue, Hip.
Those two sentences make me want to argue against you even when I agree with you, simply because you steer away from what are good points into name-calling.

Sorry to have ruffled your feathers head, but as they say you can't please em all...

We were talking about Lebanon.

I was referring to an earlier message, probably should have quoted that.

Lebanon is Israels Vietnam, that's why they pulled out in 2000.

Afghanistan war was totally justified, the whole world was behind the US. Most unfortunate the US fumbled the ball in Afghanistan and let all the major players escape. If the US had investigated even a quarter of the Iraq recources into Afghanistan than the world probably would be a safer place.

One, if you're actually trying to convince someone, calling them names probably isn't going to work.
Two, agreed. Afghanistan got boned by us redeploying to Iraq. I'm pretty embarrassed about that one, as should most Americans.

EDIT: Damnit, I'm irritated and I'm going to completely go grammar/spelling police:
It's deja vu, not Deja Vue. It's French and not a proper noun.
2nd EDIT: Calling something Vietnam and saying that we violated lessons that should have been learned in Vietnam are two totally seperate things, tw. Switching arguments mid-stride is a nincompoop move.
