Funny are we looking at the same picture? I see troop carrying vehicles....
As per the agreement, the US said they would not attack retreating Iraqis if they abandoned their tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons.. That's how they convinced the Iraqis to leave the cities avoiding house to house fighting, which would have resulted in a lot of dead civilians. Look at the images again and tell me if you see any heavy weapons. IN all the images I've seen, I never saw any heavy weapons. Schwarzkopf had to have given the order to slaughter disarmed retreating soldiers.... war crime.

The evidence supports the conclusion that the US never intended to keep their word. Schwarzkopf must have gave the order to show no mercy and take no prisoners.... war crime.

How exactly do troops retreat across a barren desert without using buses, troops transports and cars??? I see no tanks, artillery pieces, armored personnel carriers... or anything which indicates the thousands of dead were anything other than disarmed (of heavy weapons) retreating soldiers... most of whom were young involuntary conscripts, similar to the people who participated in a revolt against Hussein less than a year later.... The one General Schwarzkopf promised to support as per millions of leaflets dropped over Iraq and months of radio broadcasts into Iraq and then didn't.


Seventy-eight doesn't really seem that old to me, to be honest!8O



I cut the rest of your post, as it didn't say anything I cared to read.

I truly hope that you don't decide to "piss on my grave" when I pass on, as I am sure that people that cared about me would find it disrespectful...

1) I never heard of this rule

Canadian Content Forums -

2) It is my opinion that General Schwazkopf is a mass murdering war criminal, who broke his word on multiple occasions when it suited him and as a result tens of thousands of people died needlessly.

So if I understand your point, its that if you think someone is a mass murderer, you can't make a negative post about them with references to evidence supporting your viewpoint for thirty days after they are dead?

ie> Does this unlisted rule I never heard of before apply to everyone who pisses on anyone's grave, or do the rules only apply when the grave is someone the mods like and not to people the mods don't like.. for example would the mods give someone a timeout for pissing on OBL's grave? If so I also plead guilty to pissing on that war criminal mass murderer's grave in less than 30 days after their death too.

Or does this new rule mean that we have to ask a moderator's opinion first about a mass murderer to find out whether they like the dead person or not before I can call them a mass murderer?

3) My posts are on topic and my opinions are backed up by references and evidence. So far not a single person who disagrees with me or gave me a thumbs down can make the same claim.

eao, here's a hint. Quit posting in this thread. You've already stated your "opinion" in more than one post.

And this is an "official" request.

War crime? I always thought that lighting oil fields on fire while retreating was a war crime. Or waving the white flag then gunning down the officer coming forward to take your surrender was a war crime. I could start dragging out statistics and graphs, but the heck with it.

Norman Schwarrtzkopf was a patriot, a soldier and a leader. May he rest in peace,

That's not shocking. Have you heard of this one?

3. To abide by our wishes in interpreting and enforcing these rules;
Renders all the rest of 'your opinion' on the matter null and void.

See rule number 3.

You forgot to add the "in my opinion" part. As in "In my opinion my posts are on topic....."

You seriously need to get over yourself in a big way.

That doesn't matter anyways.

I agree.

A man worthy following into battle.

Shadowshiv has dealt with this:

This Thread is about "Storm'n Norman" & not EAO.
Then someone should actually deal with EAO.

So the issue is with Shadowshiv & the way he's dealt with this matter then?

He publicly scolded EAO for derailing this Thread about Norman Schworzkopf's
passing. EAO then stopped derailing this Thread about Norman Schworzkopf's
passing. This Thread isn't about EAO, but Norman Schworzkopf's passing. EAO
quit derailing this thread when told to quit.

I agree with another member who pointed out earlier in this Thread, That "Storm'n
Norman" was exactly what America needed when they needed him. He did his
job in a 'Larger than Life" manner that captivated the nation. R.I.P. Sir.

I can't, nor will I, speak for anyone else but my issue has always been with self-righteous attitudes and snide remarks that usually slip under the radar but do as much 'stirring of the pot' as do the more in your face statements that get made. I have brought that specific point up before in many, many threads.

My personal thoughts are that rude, inconsiderate, snide, etc statements that are made should be called on, I wouldn't tolerate anyone saying these things to me or to anyone in front of me elsewhere, why would I here? It has nothing to do with how seriously you take what gets said here and likewise it has nothing to do with what has been said in dealing with it previously.

That said, this specific issue is over with as far as I'm concerned.
