If you put "Iraq friendly fire deaths" into google you'll find 84,300 pages are returned, with
this article being of particular interest, far from the It's a war and communication breakdowns/accidents happen it seems the reason for this 'friendly fire' / 'blue on blue' was that the US troups in question were on drugs.
the fact still stands that more british soldiers have died in 'friendly fire' than have died in 'hostile fire'

I'm telling that this our decision, not the decision of those who can't vote for one reason or the other. You are not quite sure what you are talking about at any rate.
I am quite sure what I am talking about, had you taken the time to carefully read the points I made you'd realise this*, It might be your decision, but it affects the world (for better or worse), and therefore the world has a right to take an active interest.
*I refere specifically to the fact that I've stated my preference for president would actually be Bush -having weighed up his policies against Kerry's policies, yet you still keep telling me I don't know what I'm talking about!

Your arguments are full of inaccuracies and inconsistencies. You are for the most part wrong and I have pointed that out. The sad thing is you really believe it so much.
I'll say again, the Irony of this statement is that I am a would-be bush supporter, I realise that a lot of the actions he has taken are for the better, but I also believe a lot of laws passed (the patriot act for example) are not good for the country, and will not help the futherment of the country or the industries based there.

You would have crushed me, except for a few problems.
1, as I said in the last post I would prefere bush as president, so your 'crushing' is miss placed, you are preaching to the converted as they say.
2, you didn't bother to read what I had written, -had you read (and understood) what I had written, then you wouldn't have come back with a post full of mostly irrelevant tripe.
3, the sole basis of your argument seems to still be based around personal insult and flames than it does actual politics. (aside from this being the reason for the last thread being locked, you (and everyone else) was asked to keep the flames to a minimum, if your passion for politics and ecconomy is so great then you should be able to form a reasonable, unbiased argument soly on politics and not have to resort to personal insluts.
4, for the reason stated above in point 3, I don't believe you are a politics major student, In fact I don't believe you know anything more about politics than you read from cnn.com or see on Fox (both politically biased towards bush).
Once you have fully read this reply I suggest that you take some time to reflect on the post, check out the links, perform a few seardches, think about what you are going to say and then make a reasonable post. -one like we havn't yet seen in this debate.
