A lot of people were in Gitmo for a reason...money. People turned in others, even if they had done nothing, for a reward. And we accepted the lack of evidence, unhesitatingly.

You're missing the fact that he was in prison in Russia following Cuba. And they let him go. That makes it there responsibility. If they couldn't find any proof he'd bombed a local building, how could we? Also, the attack the Russians say he might have taken part in (and Russian credibility is not all that high with me), had nothing to do with any terrorist groups that have had designs in the U.S. It was a local thing.

i dont think it was a case of "having designs IN the USA", but rather, we were concerned about designs ABOUT the USA.

As the link states, the Gitmo investigators found no evidence that the man had any involvement with the Taliban. They released him in 2004. Obviously your prejudice knows better than the USA investigators who actually investigated the facts.

Chechnya has had two wars with Russia to try and become a separate State.
The second war has been going on since 1999. The Chechen people are Muslims. The Russians call them terrorists - the Chechens call themselves freedom fighters. Russia has used chemical weapons on Chechens and have been accused at high level of setting off bomb incidents on their own people in Russia in order to place blame on Chechnya. USA attacked Iraq for doing similar on its own people. Who actually are the terrorists here?

As USA fought its own war of independence and was the sworn enemy of Russia throughout the cold war it is ironic that any USA citizen does not also fully support the Chechen bid for freedom.

Robert99,

You previously mentioned the Soviets use of chemical weapons on the Chechyans. Are you refering to the failed rescue attempt when they pumped the Moscow theater full of anesthesia in order to incapacitate the Chechen freedom fighters who were holding hundreds of hostages??

Again, I don't have a problem with the Chechen fight for freedom - only their tactics.

Odd to see you speak of America like that. Because not only have we blown up apartment buildings with civilians in them. We lead the world in that category, and have blown up more apartment buildings with civilians in them than every single terrorist organization in the world. COMBINED!!

delayjf
06-28-2007, 02:52 PM
I would agree with you in regards to the US dropping the A-Bomb on Japan. In conducting strategic bombing campaigns we have in fact killed civilians in countries that we were at war with. That is the nature of Warfare, as Gen Lee once said, "it is well the War is so terrible, lest we grow too fond of it".

But US military tactics do not intentionally single out schools hospitals etc for attack the war Terrorists organizations do.

We lead the world in that category, and have blown up more apartment buildings with civilians in them than every single terrorist organization in the world. COMBINED!!

We have also stamped out the tyranny of several murderous regimes and prevented untold carnage at their hands. And while we lament the loss of innocent life and attempt to minimize it– the other side celebrates it, encourages and makes it the focus of main effort. It's a good thing they do not possess our military ability - or the record would be broken.

Tom,

I am sure they would have run out of Jews to burn by now.
Pity USA did not join in and help them out earlier on when the Jews were being persecuted, rounded up and transported to the camps. USA made sure it had the pick afterwards of the Nazi doctors of death that were invited to live in USA and continue their inhumane experiments but on USA soldiers and prisoners.

USA did not accept collateral damage - it was the people living in Germany that got bombed by the allies who accepted it - they had no choice.

Anyrate, it is not a matter of leaving USA, it is just not reacting to every story with spite, hate, vengeance and injustice ie the same way that the Nazis reacted to the Jews, gays and gipsys. If USA stands for justice, then the guilty should be punished and the innocent freed but only after a fair trial that hears both sides. USA freed the Chechen - you want to incarcerate him on some unproven allegation by a totally biased and unreliable source, if not to lynch him. I suppose that is the worst of the old America but it is still un-American.

They have side-stepped the USA military might by using terrorist tactics learned from the N Ireland civil war over the last 30 years. About 400 terrorists held down half the British Army for two decades. They don't attack USA strengths - they attack its weaknesses. USA is spending $Billions on conventional type armanents that are increasingly irrelevant to "stamping out tyranny".

There is almost no relevant "military ability" for today's issues. I would also question the actual military ability in conventional combat as the only major war won in the last 60 years is with allied help against the Iraquis in Kuwait (1991). In between from WW2 there has been the disasters of Korea (1951-53), Vietnam (1965 -73), Somalia (1993) and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan show no sign of being winnable. A huge amount of self delusion.

I am really begining to understand why our founding Fathers kicked your limey butts back over the pond in 1776.

Enjoy your smugness, looking back on what Britain once WAS, because that is all it has a future.

Btw, we did hold FAIR trials - Nuremburg. But what you lackeys don't understand is the Nazis would not participate until we FORCED them to. Hmm, wasn't it YOU guys - Chamberlin, who emboldened Hitler and allowed his relatively easy mop-up of the continent that got the whole WWII thing going?

And as far as the Mid-East goes, no one stirred up the hornets nest more than the Brits - one of the most evil, corrupt, anti-human empires in history. Until WE showed them the door.:lol:

The US military quite openly protects you and yours in Britain, and the rest of Western Europe, from any major military threat from the East. It is fun for everyone to point out how much we spend, how stupid and barbaric we are, whilst enjoying the very protection and economic stability we provide. We spend, so you don't have to. That isn't a secret. There haven't been any big wars, because no one could possibly defeat us in a conventional war. Just a "thanks" would be nice once in awhile. Or you guys, Europe, authors of 100's of millions of DEAD when you were allowed to run things, can tell us how bad we are. Or you could just say thanks. Thanks America, all things considered, things are a million times better now than they were when we were running things. But of course not, we are not allowed mistakes. If only we could run thigns as perfectly as you guys!

I love it when Europeans accuse us of being xenophobic warmongerers. That really cracks me up. And we might well be...but we keep it in check, unlike you guys. We are the most benevolent country the world has ever known...but the world is in such a weird place now that no one even realizes that. We are so benevolent in fact we are ultimately going to give up our hegemony, willingly. And be despised for it all the same.

I would disagree with you on Korea, they invaded we beat them back from were they came from. Somolia was not a war. But you point is well taken with regards to "limited warfare". But again the above (and Iraq) are examples of the US exercising restraint with regards to the conduct of the war.

They don't attack USA strengths - they attack its weaknesses.
So let them come here and car bomb our malls. They will make the same mistake the Japanese did in WWII - they will awaken a sleeping bear with an unrelenting resolve. Then gloves will come off.

Tom,

You have watched too many John Wayne films where he won the war single handed. You really must read some basic history on WW2 - it was in all the papers. The Battle of Britain was won before the USA came into the war.
We bought some food and some arms from USA as our shipping was regularly torpedoed in the Atlantic and the Germans bombed our cities and factories night after night - thank you. 9/11 would be a side show in comparison. It was not just Britain fighting the Germans, Italians and Japanese - it was a world war with Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Free France, Poland and Russia all fighting the Germans etc.

Britain declared war in 1939 on Germany, not the other way around. Chamberlein unsuccesfully tried to broker a peace beforehand but the German military machine was waiting to go throughout the 1930s - you may have heard of Mein Kampf written by Hitler in 1925/6 - that was what the Third Reich was all about. It was probably the limey, Charlie Chaplin whose film really stirred things up. USA speeded up the inevitable end - thanks again.

Fighting the war and WW1 completely bankrupted Britain, and Gemany was flattened. USA came to the rescue with the Marshall Plan and part funding of NATO. We are totally grateful for that.

Again, your knowledge of the War of Independence is lacking. Most of the "limeys", whichever side they fought on, stayed in USA. It was the French who won the war at Yorktown. The British Empire did not come until after. I have no support for subjugating any peoples but compared to other empires eg the Romans, Spanish, Turkish, Portugese, it was relatively benign and free of corruption and slavery. Again there was no "we" showing them the door unless you were a decendant of the patriots - it was mainly British fighting British.

We have a great future within the EU and our people will still want to be USA's allies. We have no quarrel with American people.


Battle of Britain:

Battle of Britain is the name commonly given to the effort by the German Luftwaffe to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF), before a planned sea and airborne invasion of Britain (Operation Sealion) during the Second World War. Neither Hitler nor the Wehrmacht believed it possible to carry out a successful amphibious assault on the British Isles until the RAF had been neutralized. Secondary objectives were to destroy aircraft production and ground infrastructure, to attack areas of political significance, and to terrorize the British people with the intent of intimidating them into seeking an armistice or surrender.

British historians date the battle from 10 July to 31 October 1940, which represented the most intense period of daylight bombing. German historians usually place the beginning of the battle in mid-August 1940 and end it in May 1941, on the withdrawal of the bomber units in preparation for the attack on the USSR. The failure of Nazi Germany to destroy Britain's air force, or to break the spirit of the British government or people, is considered the Third Reich's first major defeat.

It could be it is more a desperate search for a personality in the first place.
Or even a physical cause -their right hand that once constantly stretched up for a mother's or second cousin's support in a cruel world, has now left them abandoned with the right hand knuckles still dragging along the ground, and consequenty a natural inclination to the right.

I finally got away from a computer long enough while on vacation to read a novel, "Ordinary Heroes," by Scott Turow. Chapter 29 referred to a pamphlet entitled "Don't Be a Sucker in Germany" allegedly "published by the 12th Army Group," but it may have only been a device to support the author's fiction. Supposedly, it was written by the "provost Marshall of the Ninth U.S. Army as a guide for troops in Germany."

The following excerpt from pages 411-412 caught my attention as it mirrored a conversation I overheard among my neighbors as a kid in the '50s:

"... Don't believe there are any "good" Germans in Germany. Of course you know good Germans back home. They had guts enough and sense enough to break from Germany long ago.

Don't believe it was only the Nazi government that brought on this war. Any people have the kind of government they want and deserve. Only a few people bucked the Nazis. You won't meet them; the Nazis purged them long ago. ..."

It is not my intention to re-open old wounds. It struck me that propaganda is a tool used by all governments and that, even today, a little truth goes a long way in creating a lot of deception. :ThmbDown:

You don't have the first clue as to what corruption is until you start searching for all the skeletons in the Clinton and Kennedy families' closets, for starters.

Slide Shown) Another document that I want you to remember as long as you live is this. This document appeared on my fax machine. I believe it to be the origin of the appropriation of the money to make the AIDS virus [Editor note: See Matrix III Volume One].

Above is a sample on the mind-set of this conspiracy warp crew. This smoking gun APPEARED ON HER FAX. This .... is stupid :lol: :bang:
