Yeah, I had one too many zeros on there, that's why I deleted my post.
Here it was:
Rosie is an idiot. I do think she has a point though, and I also believe it to be childish to pounce on her as non patriotic.
She did correctly claim that the US invasion of Iraq, be that as it is, has in fact killed 65,000 people. You can't tell me all 65,000 people were evil.
Elizabeth called her out on that insinuating that Rosie was calling the troops terrorists is grade A bullshit.
Just a thought.
Oh, and Manorocks, you can keep PM'ng Andrew all you like. I don't really care, but he probably does.
It still begs the question. We aren't any better than the terrorists. We illegally went into a country, on a lie, and have killed 65,000 people......No wonder the world hates us. I would too.
Not illegal and not a lie, but there's no convincing you of that, so I won't bother. I'll just add that a significant amount of civillians killed have been killed by Al Qaeda in Iraq and by each other.
Rosie is the classic "she can dish it out, but can't take it" case. She's been bullying Elizabeth for months, even having the gall to say to her "you can't just BLATHER ON WITH YOUR OPINION...". Elizabeth finally having enough of her BS, gives her the same treatment she's been getting and Rosie can't take it. She took her ball and went home. Poor baby. Rosie is an obnoxious ogre -- and ignorant to boot.
When she said 655,000 Iraqi civiliians had been killed, so "who are the real terrorists"... there is no mistaking what she meant. Good riddance!
