Aaaarrrgh

Although yours would probably be the usual way of stating the point in question, I keep the faith in that my sentence is grammatically correct.

Still, I suddenly feel like walking on thin ice here, a foreigner trying to correct native English speakers. It's just so damn tempting to do so when it comes to Mr. Fun.

If it makes you feel any better, a lot of native speakers do "that that" too.

I was honored to be flanked by Colin Powell and General Norman Schwartzkopf recently stood by me side and agreed with me.

I think we've got to be very careful when we commit our troops. The vice president and I have a disagreement about the use of troops. He believes in nation building. I would be very careful about using our troops as nation builders. I believe the role of the military is to fight and win war and therefore prevent war from happening in the first place. So I would take my responsibility seriously.

Coalition (as of September 29, 2004):

* Military:
o 1,054 U.S.
+ 799 killed in action
o 68 U.K.
o 70 from all other coalition countries

Hmm. 68 + 70 = 1054

Put an end to popups!

Anyone who's watching: do you know if the 120 Billion that Cheney refuted Edwards' claim of 200 Billion spent in Iraq includes the 80+ Billion that congress voted on, that Kerry didn't support?

Also...200 Billion...120 Billion...that's a shitload more than 5 Billion (Gulf War)

Interesting situation. Cheney claims Edward's facts are wrong, and puts quite impressive counter. However, his words are building a premise, that claims Iraq is going great. How's that for a paradox?

Ohh Nice counter from Edwards for the voting against stuff.

Now this is far better 'debate' than the president's one. Maybe these guys should be the president's and the other guys should be VPs.

Cheney is much better than Bush.. he is playing a good game IMO. He's saying, that Iraqis count on this effort. THey dont' count. But when you say they don't count, that sounds like insulting them, which is bad. Nice one, there's no way to win that really withotu insulting someone. Clearly planned and good. Too bad it does distort the numbers, but it's a good claim.

Puh-leeze. Edwards has pre-prepared speeches which he uses in lieu of real answers. He's used his "90%" speech twice now.

From CNN.com:
quote:
There have been 1,205 coalition deaths, 1,066 Americans, 68 Britons, six Bulgarians, one Dane, two Dutch, one Estonian, one Hungarian, 19 Italians, one Latvian, 13 Poles, one Salvadoran, three Slovaks, 11 Spaniards, two Thai and nine Ukrainians, in the war in Iraq as of October 5, 2004. (Graphical breakdown of casualties). The list below is the names of the soldiers, Marines, airmen, sailors and Coast Guardsmen whose families have been notified of their deaths by each country's government. At least 7,532 U.S. troops have been wounded in action, according to the Pentagon. The Pentagon does not report the number of non-hostile wounded. This list is updated regularly. For a historical look at U.S. war casualties, click here.


Let's see: 1066 goes into 1205... carry the one... numerate the denominator... cross the wires... spread the cheaks... blow my brains out... almost twice! By golly, it really IS 50%!



Bloody f*cking Hell Mr. Cheney, even MY math isn't that bad. Observe...

1066 / 1205 = 0.884647302904...

So roughly 88%, pretty close to an even 90%. Go cheney yourself, dickhead.

I don't feel well today, so I'm not going to watch the rest of the debate until later (recording it). I just wanted to get this off my chest since I had a math test this morning. I may have flunked the math on that test, but I'll be God damned if I can't figure out how to find a simple percentage.

I think Edwards is saying 'When John KErry is our president' too much. It sounds like he is Kerry's little lap dog and fan. Cheney carries himself better in this aspect IMO.

By saying that, apparantly you're demeaning Iraqis according to Cheney. Why are you such a racist, DRoseDARs?
