#1 Interesting the degree of support for the US/Coalition actions, and how tired the Left's arguments sound.

#2 The Beeb's forums on Iraq are almost comical in their predictability. Usually, about 70-80% of posters from Iraq strongly support US military actions-- usually with specific reference to facts on the ground-- while an equal percentage of Brits and continental Euros oppose the US, usually with irrelevant, clicheed refernces to Stalingrad, etc.

#4 I've given up on the BBCs forums.

There comess a time in everyone's life when they say those words. For me, it happened about 18 months ago after a couople of years' sporadic flirting with 'em. When you can predict whether your input has a decent chance of getting posted or has a snowball's chance in hell, it loses its fun. Did you go through a short terminal period of firing off a couple of outrageously noon-PC comments just to offend the faceless BBC ~~censor~~ moderator?

#5 Tony / BD - Here's a response that rather naturally follows your comments which you might identify with, heh (courtesy of Ace):

#6 eeek i screwed up on posting , nothing new there :P
My point was , as Lex has kindly pointed out , Iraqi's are glad USA and co. are there , the Eurotrash and BritGuardian posse arent happy . If the Iraqi's are happy , I'm happy , and thats what matters :)

Sorry for any balls up at my end .

And yes Bulldog , they never publish my opinions .When the moderators look at it i hope they spill burning hot coffee in their crotches . Bunch of eer dare i say it .. ' board nazi's '

#7 I still post to insult the BBC employee that is using their bias (anti US) to filter most post they get. The 85% + crap that is just pure crap usually they post is gut turning most times. That they post out right Moonbattery is telling. I consider BBC online as an onging criminal conspiracy. Some day they will pay.

#8 Some day they will pay.

What goes around, comes around. The BBC will fall... eventually. More and more people are contemplating running up .com's black flag and unseating the bastards.

#9 Its remarkable that Beeb posted these favorable comments opposing their own views. My experience is that the Beeb has a Litmus test for screening "have your say" sayings.
