dont you fucking dare quote john stockwell, you proponent of socialism you. you know damn well stockwell wrote a book to sell money and never qualified his statements either. for all we know he is including an inflated number of deaths from a single war for which he believes we caused. he was looking to make money, you think the answer "a few thousand people" sells books? you think maybe, just maybe, he might have had a bone to pick by the tone of his philosophical prose? possibly? yea, id think so

This is all predicated on the false assumption that Al Qaeda is a soverign nation that we are placing any of our embasies, warships or any other facilites in....WRONG! Al Qaeda moves around behind the protection of governments that support what they do or are scared to death of them. How are we supposed to attack them? Do we go into Syria? Lebanon? Iran? Or would the entire world throw and absolute shit fit? They are like a bully that comes out and sucker punches you and then goes and hides behind they're dad when you come back to kick their ass. No matter where our embasies are, no matter where our warships dock, no matter where we keep federal offices...Al Qaeda will try to attack.

Did it ever cross your mind that Iran is probably trying to keep Iraq unstable and when we are gone take control of that very same oil you so insist we want? If we wanted that oil so bad...then why would we leave? Why not occupy for ever? Who is going to stop us? The U.N....bah! I am still waiting for this windfall of oil to help boost our economy. I mean hell we have been paying great prices for oil since we invaded Iraq... :rolleyes:

I am willing to admit oil plays some part in it...but not to the extent you like to play it up to...

So what percentage of the poll of Iraqis states that they approve of the perpetuating cycle of violence that the two religious sects perpetrate upon each other?
The Iraqi people by and large want this threat to their families, livelihood and way of life to end, regardless of whether they are Sunni, Shia or Kurdish.
The Americans aren't the ones being targeted anymore, by and large. Sure, killing us is always a bonus to them, praises to false Allah, but in Iraq right now....the sectarian violence that a MILLION man army couldn't control is ripping the tenuous hold that the fledgeling government (that the majority of Iraqis VOTED FOR, and for the first time since under Saddam, it actually MEANT SOMETHING!) has on the country.
People I know that are recently removed from the situation state that the sorriness of the new iraqi military and police forces share in much of the blame.
The Iraqi police force is rife with corruption and sectarianism, and the Army (besides a few highly-trained, motivated divisions) is afraid to confront insurgents in certain areas of Iraq that are hotbeds of violence for fear of their own death or late night reprisals against their families.

That is the truth. I guess the argument can be made by some that our foreign policy dictates that we "deserve it", but I'm not totally buying into that at all.

Actually, I'm telling you that the Army [i]did[/i] use white phosphorus as an incendiary weapon. Can you read? You make an ass out of yourself by taking liberties like "sparingly" and "may or may not have" concerning an article in which even a military spokesperson was unable to deny the nature and magnitude of white phosphorus use in Iraq, as he had in a previous lie.

I guess the Pakis thought they were supporting Al Qaeda by offering Bin Laden when he was living in Kandahar before 9/11. One wonders if Bush knew who Bin Laden was at that point.

There is no way to control Iraq and keep it together as one nation .... = Without using Terror and brutal dictatorial power. Why the fuck do you think Saddam did what he did. He didn't woodchip the population for the fuck of it ... or because it gave him kicks .... he did it because he knew that in order to hold 3 nations into 1 nation ... he would have to be a brutal tyrant. For most of his tenure the US didn't care about his behavior. We only started to care when he thought that he would reunite Kuwait back into Iraq. Then all of the sudden he became the "Butcher of Baghdad" === when in fact he had been the butcher all along for decades.


I have said for years ... [color="#4169E1"][size=3]there is only one solution to Iraq ....

Allow fundmentalist Iran to annex southern Iraq which would allow them to border the more moderate countries of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Create a central region of Iraqi Sunni/Iranian Shia religious warfare. And establish Kurdistan between Syria, Iran, and the cental no man's land.

Wow!

I suggest you purchase a board game called "RISK." You could play with family or friends this weekend.

Some very good points from a timely movie. While Bush is (illegally) allowing the eavesdropping upon America's citizenry we are all still here discussing the ills of of our government. None of us have been spirited away in the night. We're still here bitching away and insulting each other.

I had the oppurtunity to spend some time in the second oldest republic in the western hemisphere. There was (and probably still is) a period of time when talking ill of the government would get you stoned to death, chopped to death with a machete, or a trip to a place called the 'Killing Fields.' Although, I doubt that is what the locals called it. I've seen the bleached bones scattered on the ground for myself. The bullet hole in the skull. Personally, I think they made a half-assed attempt to clean up the bones. But they didn't think to clean up the [i]shoes.[/i] There were hundreds of shoes. Among them, I found a pair of baby's shoes.

Yes, there are lots of things which need to be improved in America. In my opinion, there are many more things which are right.

should anyone be able to unexpectidly bomb a building that has 10,000 innocent people in it, but has one cia office in it? NO you fucking idiot!!!

Is it justifiable to the people that decided that best bomb they could use was to slit the throats of flight attendants and pilots and fly planes into it? yes!!!

[quote name='Tigers Johnson' post='443955' date='Feb 21 2007, 07:46 PM']Did it ever cross your mind that Iran is probably trying to keep Iraq unstable and when we are gone take control of that very same oil you so insist we want? If we wanted that oil so bad...then why would we leave? Why not occupy for ever? Who is going to stop us? The U.N....bah! I am still waiting for this windfall of oil to help boost our economy. I mean hell we have been paying great prices for oil since we invaded Iraq... :rolleyes:

I am willing to admit oil plays some part in it...but not to the extent you like to play it up to...[/quote]

Personally, if we did go to war for oil, that is smart. A nation should seek to secure and protect natural resources, especially non-renewable ones (hasn't anyone played Civ III?!).

As far as the premise of this topic goes, I say that since there is no real international law or code of morality, al Qaeda can do what it wants as far as targeting goes. We can also do what we want in return. The consideration of tactics is pragmatic, and war is the controlled use of violence to secure certain objectives--it is not a mere bloodbath. Al Qaeda's earlier tactic of actually attacking the American homeland was a mistake, because it served to unite the country, not destroy it. Losing the capacity to hit here at home actually helped their cause, as we have returned to the business as usual of petty politics.

I also think that the idea that it's okay if al qaeda does it because we do (sort of) should apply to the reverse. So we should start sawing off Gitmo prisoner's heads and posting it on the internet. And we should also form militias to kill those who dissent from the view of the US government. Watch out if that happens--you might want to delete this thread!

See this is what happens when you bring morality into macro affairs. You get so caught up in the "we're evil and wrong" that you fail to see how the other entities out there are. Everyone seems to get a pass for their deeds except for the USA and Israel, because somehow they cause all the problems.

[color="#0000FF"][b]Should a nation be able to carpet bomb and invade a nation of 25 million people ... to capture 1 brutal former allie Tyrant that we think is a threat ?

how about ...

Should a nation be able to carpet bomb and invade a nation because that nation possess a small camp of some people we think are terrorists ? [/color]


:crazy:

- What proportion or % of the assumed target is acceptable ?


- What you don't realize is that your argument supports my premise .... I don't think the WTC attacks were ok ... nor the invasion of Iraq .... you are the inconsistent one. [/b]
