Re: USA develops space-based weapons



On 1 Nov 2006 19:05:55 -0800, in a place far, far away, "Ed Kyle"
<edkyle99@xxxxxxxxxxx> made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a
way as to indicate that:

The U.S. forces are everywhere, but nowhere, the net
result being that they control nothing - like the British
during the Revolution, or the French and Americans
in Indochina. This is what losing a war looks like at
first, then it gets worse. The insurgents are on home
ground, supported by the local populace.

Really? The "populace" supports a movement that is murdering them
daily?

It is a civil war. Sunni versus Shia.

That doesn't constitute a "movement." It constitutes at least *two*.

"Movement" was your word.

You didn't object to it. It's nonsensical to say that "the populace"
supports a civil war, since that implies that there is a unitary
"populace."
