I think he's referring to Iran and Syria who choose to arm their proxy terrorist friends, but not to feed, house, or educate them.Originally posted by: Aimster

You seem to favor invasion with carpet bombings. Make things easier.
They should've carpet bombed during the first round; destroy their logistic network.
Yeah, that's right: collective punishment and all that.
No need to be squeemish: Hezbollah and Hamas carry out collective punishment all the time.
carpet bombing is barbaric.
It kills civilians.
But 10,000 dead civilians is better than 100 dead soldiers ...
my response referred to Craig's mention of our military's participation in insurgencies, such as the Contras back in the 80's. He equated it to Iran and Syria's support of the terrorists who attack Israel. In other words, he forgot whose side we're on., and why. So please read and try to keep up from now on.[/quote]Originally posted by: palehorse74

That's lame, Aimster; you know extactly what he was talking about...
As for our friend Jhhnn, there seems to be no point in reply, as he lives in a world full of conspiracies, and those that do not think like him are, obviously, agents of propaganda.

Then why did you reply?
As for your other problem, perhaps a book on self-hypnosis will help.
There's not much difference in the logistics of the act; the difference lies in the intent. One was done to benefit the U.S. directly, and one is done to hurt the U.S. Guess which is which.Originally posted by: CitizenKain

So what is the difference between us arming the Contra's in the 80s and what Iran and Syria are doing now? Our crap certainly doesn't smell like roses.
We simply point at Hezbollah and say "duh."Originally posted by: Jhhnn
"Remember which side we're on", Palehorse? Which side are we on- on the side of democracy, freedom and peace, or on the side of ethno-racist expropriation, repression and murder? How can we tell the Lebanese that we're friends when we furnish the Israelis with the means and excuses to annihilate them?
WTF is "Greater Israel"!? Since when has Israel set out to conquer more land and convert everyone to Judaism? If they truly wanted to expand their territory, there isn't jacksh*t that their neighbors could do about it! Hell, they've given up more land than they've taken since the founding of their nation! They have taken land after being attacked on all sides, and then they continuously gave that land back once their attackers were beaten. Israel has no desires to expand its reach or territories. All they desire is to be left alone in peace to prosper in the lands they already have. While every single one of their neighbors wants them wiped off the map.Originally posted by: Jhhnn
That's false attribution wrt Nassrallah, dna... but you knew that, anyway... standard smear tactic.
Benny Elon, the Israeli counterpart to Nassrallah, has been touring the US with Repub notables, puffing up the cause with Fundie Zionist whackjobs across the land...
We sure as Hell can't support the values we profess by supporting and nurturing his POV, either, or by arming the Israelis in their efforts to create Greater Israel... on the broken dreams and dead bodies of anybody who gets in their way...

"False attribution" he says..... What a clown...
So, the video with Nasrallah yelling "Death to America" was fabricated, right?
Either you're trolling, or you are what you label everyone else: an agtiprop.

None of that crap in the M.E is our problem. They cannot harm us yet, so why the hell should we care?

but hey, you're right. After all, if we just pull all of our troops out, and ignore the rise of fanaticism, it will all just go away, right?
ya...right. wake up.

The false attribution, dna, is that I've sided with Nassrullah, dna... but you already knew that, too...
I mean, it's in the *Bible*, so it must really be the word of God, right?
you're damn right he did.Originally posted by: Aimster
You think Saddam wanted to hurt us? lol.
Again, yes, they very much wish to hurt us... destroy us even!You think Hezbollah wants to hurt us? You think Iran wants to hurt us?
You are lost and completely crazy if you truly think that those parties don't want to destroy the U.S. They each dream of the day that the U.S. is destroyed or converted. Their every breath, every day, is spent in an effort to make that happen.nobody wants to hurt the U.S except Al Qaeda.
Everything else is targetted directly at Israel and I do not think you want to die for Israel. Do you? I sure as hell am not going to die for another country while their forces sit on the sidelines.

The only question is: can they hurt us? And the answer to that is that we must continue to take actions to ensure the answer remains "no."
like I said, wake up.
