    I said:
    "are you suggesting that the only reason we would have a carrier group in the northern arabian sea was to keep tabs on Saddam? HAHAHAHAHA

    that's hilarious!

    to which you replied:

    "Is it? Every time we entered the Gulf, we went straight to Kuwait. We sat on the Kuwait-Iraq border while the ARG provided air support for Operation Southern Watch."

    All I am saying is that I am sure you know what amphibious ready groups do more than me.... just as I am sure that I know what carrier battle groups do more than you. And I certainly have a better developed sense of what the costs are for such an operation as a percentage of the defense department budget. Now...do you really want to dispute that?

    no...you could avoid calling me anything or addressing me in any way...that would be extra special...

    but if you must, "God" is way to presumptious....

    "Commander" would be appropriate.

    can I go with "twit" for you in return? If not, how does "douchebag" work for you?

    Those would be most appropriate terms for him and could never be overused.

    Excellent comeback, maybe you will do better next year when you go to middle school.

    Practice makes perfect, always remember that.

    Methinks somebody around here needs to take their own advice. However having posted around you for the best part of six month, you're like a goldfish...

    The ARG is part of a carrier battle group.

    And for all of your bluster and dragging things out, you have not PROVEN you have a better developed sense of what the costs are such an operation as a percentage of the DoD budget.

    I await you posting a link to support your argument.

    post links? Jesus! How lazy are you? Do you even get up from behind your computer when you have to crap or do you just wear a depends and not worry about it?

    Go google "DoD 2006 Budget" I ain't your school teacher!

    If you don't want to do that, you'll just have to take my word for it that my cock is 35 feet long.

    Sorry Charlie, no sale.

    You clearly made the assertion that you "have a better developed sense of what the costs are such an operation as a percentage of the DoD budget."

    The same rules you have ranted and raved over like a 2-years old for three days apply to you as they do me:

    Substantiate your claim.

    Hint: The 2006 budget is irrelvant to the discussion. We were speaking of Iraq pre-invasion.
