>Another Nail in the Neocon Coffin  - Lew Rockwell - 
Actually, you ARE wrong because I say you're wrong. Why? Because I have first-hand experience on the ground in Iraq, and you apparently have NONE. You call me a "sham" and someone who is "posing," but that's because you are wishing really, really hard that what you claim is true. I do not need nor require your affirmation, so such claims are meaningless; I simply shrug them off as hysterics and name calling. You don't "give" chances and you don't grant redemption--especially when none is required in the first place.

It is really your sourcing that is internet linked or bound, not mine. When I was there, we had already found nearly 1000 of Saddam's Mustard Gas munitions, and the insurgency had captured some, and--thinking they were conventional 155mm rounds--used them in making IEDs. MNF-I retained all this information as classified and clearly we continued to find Saddam's weaponized Mustard Gas munitions for years even after I left.

You have your mind made up based on what you've read and your suppositions, so I already know that nothing I say will ever open your eyes. Personal attacks seem to be the only thing people, including yourself, are capable of here on the 24hr Comment section, which is too bad since I am not a 'big-government' person, liberal, or a fan of Lincolns. I merely have pointed out something I observed first-hand with my own eyes; that we found Saddam's weaponized Mustard Gas munitions--a defined WMD--in Iraq. I know this for a fact; you don't. You have to read about it from open sources, and you don't like that because you don't want to believe it, so nothing you find out there disrupts your narrative.

My error was in assuming there was enough goodwill out there that people would actually listen to someone who had first-hand experience and did not have to read about it elsewhere. I should never have said anything about my experience since that's spawned nothing but a series of unwarranted, baseless, ignorant-of-fact personal attacks by complete strangers. I was never questioned by writers here about my experience; only attacked. Clearly you and the other writers do not want to hear any facts that disagree with your already established viewpoint.

Convincing others who clearly do not want to be shown and have gone to great lengths to NOT know is not important to me. I'll take a look at more of the open-source material out there that might perhaps make you pause for second and think, but that is not a priority for me based on what I've seen on this forum thus far. I doubt that it is possible to change minds here--only to vent. The vitriol that has been hurled at me here for merely reporting a simple FACT--that we found WMD in Iraq, but that it wasn't the VX we thought he was retaining in abundance--shows that this is not a forum for serious discussion.

Beginning of the headline :The recent opening of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity was a watershed moment in American history. There has never been anything quite like it. Ideologically diverse, the Ron Paul Institute reaches out to all Americans, and indeed to people all over the world, who find the spectrum of foreign-policy opinion in the United States to be unreasonably narrow. Until Ron Paul and his new institute, there was no resolutely anti-interventionist foreign-policy organization to be found... Read More
