QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 24, 2005 -> 07:41 AM) Don't misrepresent others here. I'll rephrase: Who here do you think seems to believe that ruthless, murdering extremists are martyrs? This would be an opportunity for them to clarify their positions. This entire thread is full of it

If men vacuumed:

Uh oh!

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 24, 2005 -> 07:05 AM) Pretty big accusation there. Big fan of fact checking that you are, please - when you get a chance - dig out the posts of anybody here who is pro beheading of innocent civilians, or thinks that makes anybody a martyr. I missed all of those posts and I'm sure it would change my opinion of posters if anybody flat out made such statements. Characterizing those people who either opposed the war from the outset or else have become critical of the effort as problems, misdeeds, and false premise have come to light as misanthropes is as unfair and unjustified as anything being leveled by either side in these debates. It's important to remember that the military is expected to do its job, in combat and in handling detainees. All of the details of the all the days that go right are not necessarily newsworthy - those days are what we should all expect if we have any faith in our military. It's not fair, to be sure, but it's the way it is. You can perform your job quite capably and get glowing performance reviews every year and it's not a blip on the radar. But if you screw up it comes to light rather quickly. I said "seem" to agree. Don't misrepresent me. I don't mind criticism. What I mind is people acting happy about failures or mistakes. I agree the military is expected to do their job and do it with decency. That's why we've prosecuted several people that carried out the "abuse" at Abu Gharib.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) people in general saying that o well we lost...some people just piss me off when we play like s*** and there like o well we lost Yeah, and it pisses us off when people in general act like one loss is the end of the world. Relax. Losses happen. Remember one week ago in Texas the Sox lost the first game and came back to win the series.

QUOTE(Be Good @ May 23, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) In this age of baseball, he wouldn't be able to get them to the playoffs consistently. I don't understand. Explain, please. I think it would be easier for him to help his team get in. When he played, there were only 2 divisions in each league and no wild cards.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 24, 2005 -> 06:26 AM) Wow with an argument like that, how can you go wrong? Personally I would like to see Baj get another shot, but there isn't any room for him at the inn. We still have to make room for Frank Thomas (prob Walker) and then Ross Gload a couple of weeks after that (Timo? Willie? Ozuna?) Timo!

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ May 24, 2005 -> 12:49 AM) Haven't been around, so this is a bit late, but... Drudge's piece was in fact about Newsweek "suits" killing the story, not Isikoff. Isikoff wrote it up and wanted it to run, by all reports I've seen. A claim was made that this writer is only researching stories that make Dems look good and Repubs look bad, and that's clearly not true. He proved perfectly willing to embarrass Clinton -- so much so that some Dem harpies cried about his wanting to take down the Clinton presidency. If you want to find bias in the media, look elsewhere. I hadn't heard that.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 23, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) So Newsweek does not have an anti-American agenda, huh? I just saw on TV, a cover of the Japanese edition of Newsweek. This cover showed the American flag in a goddamn trash can. Newsweek can kiss my USA loving ass! What really burns me about all this is that the left, not all, but most on the left, and even a few here at Soxtalk, seem to be rooting against America, and are downright giddy when the US fails. All that gets reported is death and protesters and any failures. If you want to report the news - report ALL - good and bad. Personally, when our troops are in harm's way, I root FOR America, no matter who the President is. I don't pick sides based on my political beliefs. Let us not forget that we are the good guys in this. When we uncover prisoner abuse, we investigate and prosecute our own. It is not tolerated. Does Al Qaeda do that? Do Muslim extremists go after the people beheading innocent civilians? No, they're "martyrs." Some here seem to agree with that. That disgusts me. LCR, you keep harping on how the Pentagon waited a few days to deny this report. Would you rather them deny right away only to find out it was true later? They investigated before commenting. I, for one, like and appreciate the due diligence. It's what I expect from my country.

I love mowing the lawn. Here's my 11 month old baby!
