Hahaha, we can 1v1 as soon as I resurrect my gaming rig from the dead (lord..please help me with this).
I personally think that Hitchens contentions with regards to Iraq are(were) spot on, I don't think it is an area that was even open for debate, but I'm hardly an objective observer..hooah? Now, as to whther or not Galloway made good arguments, I'd have to watch that again and pick through them, but all that sticks with me from that debate (my introduction to hitchens btw, amusingly) was that it had less to do with Iraq and more to do with ideological showmanship. In that arena I'd say that the relative strength of an argument can only be judged by those already on-board with the party lines, know what I mean? After conceding that Iraq is a failed state, there is no counter argument, rgr? I can appreciate that debates don't occur without two sides, and if all that's left to one side are fallacies, well, fuck, do them justice. Did Galloway draw enough attention away from the issue with ad homs and attacks on political ideology, I don't know, I'm not part of the "other side" as it were.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
