Well, you've just proven you don't

We are in the Middle East because that's where the terrorists are.
No, there were NO terrorists in Iraq before we invaded. The terrorists were in the places I mentioned earlier. Why didn't we invade those countries if this was about fighting terrorists? You have sucked up the propaganda and swallowed it whole, never once questioning the validity of the BS spewed from the Propagandist's mouth and his PNAC henchmen.

No, the Iraq war was about one thing, and one thing only (and the WMDs were just the falsified excuse to get us in there):

Spreading the new colonialism: capitalism.

The US foreign policy is repeating the mistakes of 1980s actions in Central America.

Wake up and stop watching FAUX News and read some books on the history of our foreign policy and how it's purpose has been to bolster American corporations since the American market is a saturated beast. Why do think this administration is vilifying Chavez in Venezuela?

No, you've just proven you have no reading comprehension.

I said we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan because they were the only two ME countries we had legal cause to invade.

And since we did, all the terrorist orgs have been focusing on Iraq and throwing their best and brightest at us like so much cannon fodder.

Once Iraq and Afghanistan are democratized, the rest of the region will see their success and follow. Hell, Lebanon already is taking the first steps by kicking out Syria. Libya caved and gave up their weapons.

It's ALREADY starting to work.

Democratizing the ME is a GOOD IDEA. Doing so will stop the religious fanaticism in the region.

You spew this anti-corporate conspiracy rhetoric like a sheep. Too bad anyone who can think for themselves sees right through it.

He already stopped (yours was the last post in the argument I saw). Take it to P&N. BTW, that was an incredibly childish response, I'd expect more from you.

This is my last post in this vein, I don't want to disrupt this thread any more than it already has been.

"I want to say one thing: This was not a terrorist attack against the mighty or the powerful, it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers, it was aimed at ordinary working-class Londoners," Livingstone said.

"That isn't an ideology, it isn't even a perverted faith, it's mass murder," Livingstone said. "We know what the objective is. They seek to divide London."
We're with you, London.

"In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and undaunted fighter, Prophet Muhammad, God's peace be upon him.

Nation of Islam and Arab nation: Rejoice for it is time to take revenge against the British Zionist Crusader government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic mujahideen have carried out a blessed raid in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters.

We have repeatedly warned the British Government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahideen exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid.

We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused.

God says: "You who believe: If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly."

This is an extremely historical event. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by these events.

I hope this event gives reason to the British people for continuing the war on terror (regardless of the Iraq debacle). I would hate to see them go the way of Spain.

Ok, I will try to set-up my FTP server. I will PM those who wish to download it with PSWD and name.

Don't kill what little bandwidth I have. ;)

Yeah. We'd really hate to see things like this go away:

http://nato.usmission.gov/Contributions/Spain.htm
>Spain has deployed one P-3B to Djibouti, two C-130s to Manas, and one C-130, which accomplished its mission and is back in Spain. Two naval frigates and one AOR deployed to the CENTCOM AOR to support continued operations in OEF.

>Spanish maritime patrol aircraft began conducting reconnaissance operations from French base in Djibouti. Spain deployed SAR helicopters to Manas on April 12.

>As of June 6, 2002, the Spanish Hospital in Bagram has helped 7,644 patients:

* Military: 1,300
* Civilian:
o Women ? 1,550
o Men ? 2,085
o Children ? 2,709
* Performed 86 surgeries

We'd hate to see Spain stop doing things like:


Huge Anti-Terror Raid In Spain

Or

Spain Indicts Eight 9/11 Suspects

it was al-queda...at least for what we know now...

from the BBC website
UK

A statement in which al-Qaeda purportedly claims responsibility for the London terror blasts has been posted on a website.

Osama bin Laden's movement is blamed for the 11 September attacks and several other terror strikes. Paul Wood reports.

OMG, they strike again. I'm gonna stay home and take vacation. The terrorists might strike US next.

The terrorists just gave US and UK an excuse to invade North Korea, even though NK had nothing to do w/ the bombings.

WTF dude?

DaWhim = Republican?

no, idiot is a better description. wishing death on innocent people isn't a political affiliation.

I'm just wondering, because all my republican friends hates france with a passion, it's something they would say.


Doesn't mean we would cheer if they were bombed (something many french did when the Twin Towers collapsed). Nice way of linking the two. :roll:
