birdog1960 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) By what measure do you not consider it a war since 1991? by a declaration of war or recognition of such by an international body. this endless parsing and dancing on pinheads as a form of argument is juvenile and tiresome. but that's the point, non?

And yet 20,000 troops went into a combat zone and military aircraft had been engaged in active shooting. But to you, it's not a war. I guess, neither was Vietnam.

DC Tom Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 by a declaration of war or recognition of such by an international body. this endless parsing and dancing on pinheads as a form of argument is juvenile and tiresome. but that's the point, non? So an active conflict involving ongoing combat is only a war if a legislative or international body certifies it as such? What the hell was all that shooting from 1991 to 2003 then? A slightly inimical peace? You know what's scariest about your ridiculous point of view? That you honestly believe that wars end because of some political finding or statement. The inability to comprehend that Desert Shield and Desert Storm and Desert Fox and OIF and Iraqi Civil War and the military intervention against ISIS are all the same continuing conflict is precisely why it's a continuing conflict.

I guess that's not as clear as missiles being included in the right of citizens to bear arms, huh? ooh and btw, Clinton sent a similar number of troops to Haiti. did we have a war in Haiti that no one talks about?

So by that link's definition, Korea & Vietnam weren't wars, were they? What's your point on Haiti? Are you trying to compare it to the two-decade long military presence spanning four Presidents?

birdog1960 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Yes, you ****head. By your own definition. it's not my definition, it's the constitution which just about every pinhead con takes literally just as they do the bible unless it doesn't suit their purpose. So by that link's definition, Korea & Vietnam weren't wars, were they? What's your point on Haiti? Are you trying to compare it to the two-decade long military presence spanning four Presidents? you argued that Iraq was a war because Clinton sent troops ( to Kuwait btw). why should the criteria be different for Haiti? oh that's right - cuz u say it is!
