Over a half million American dead are a testament to the long war with Canada.

Bush said we would be in the capital, Toronto, in a week. I was given 3 hours of training and an ill fitting uniform not made for cold weather and rushed to the front right out of high school. As a ethnic minority I was expenable. The radical left wing Canadians kept coming and refused to give up. Our intel reports on the left wing government dismantling their military and instead focusing on social services was wrong and we were bombed daily.

All night they would blast messages for us to defect and enjoy their free health care and college. The human wave assaults by the ski troops were the worst as we had so few rounds for our rifles. All the time Bush built new palaces for his family as we froze.

And after 8 years the border only moved a few "kilometers"...

How many young men went to their deaths in the frozen Canadian wasteland on a lie will never be known...

You guys also failed to mention how Bush subverted the oil for butter-cookies program and ended up eating all the cookies.

Actually, what he said was "Surrender Pronto or we'll level Toronto!"

You also forgot those iceskate-borne troops carrying hockey sticks with fixed bayonets...

Napalm is an incendiary weapon as well. The US doesn't use that anymore, although WP is very similar.

Bottomline, the documentary has false conclusions. The US is using WP in a manner fully consistent with Protocol III of the 1980 convention.

Please try and assert some facts into the conversation. All I'm seeing is emotional rhetoric based on a house of cards that I've already knocked over.

Did you get a chance to work through my rebuttal of the video in the "War in Iraq" board? Any questions on why the documentary can be filed next to Farenheit 911?

The American military does not target civilians. Sorry, that's all there is to it. As to "enemies", those who fight for tyrants and genocide are being targeted. Civilians were given ample opportunity to leave the city. If they stayed, it could be for one of several reasons I see: (1) They were too stubborn to leave. That's their choice, and their fault. (2) They were held hostage. That's the Baath and/or terrorists' fault. (3) They were supporting the Baath and/or terrorists. If that's the case, they should have been targets.

The difference between the US and the Baath, the Baath would have hit the city without warning, and killed everyone they could get a shot at...
