how about a ditty brit
hehee
Quoth there is something wrong with you on SO many levels right now...
Quote: "Quoth - you have no right to say anything about US political affairs..."
i could be wrong, but it isn't United States Affairs anymore... infact the Terroism War is now backed by the Cohilision (which is USA, UK & Australia). Last time i checked Indi was an Aussie citizen which means that he does have a right to say - but that aside even if he wasn't within the nations that are within this whole mess of chips then who are you to tell him what he can and can't speak his mind about?
Quote: "Quoth - my ignorance? I guess I didnt post enough facts to back up my statements...oh wait, I did!"
you facts are based on United States news casts, they are telling you the truth about things, however they are doing it in such a way and cutting out so much detail on everything you're being spoon fed what you want to hear. If you are in an area which get BBC News24 then i'd suggest you start watching that for your
facts - even then you're probably still getting a very British veiw on the events, but atleast they don't go around going "Oh the UK is fantastic, we're kicking ass, oh yeah oh yeah, we da man!" ... you get a pretty fair argument over what is happening, when people have died they wanted to know why they were shot at, who started the fight, how many people were involved.
You didn't just hear "Today the US 107th Airborn push forward today killing 12 Iraqi Soldiers in plain clothes, now to John with the 13th Hawkforce to give us the facts" - when a guy who hasn't a bloody clue what happened just repeats what was just said and answers alot of "yes, thats right brock." kinda questions.
you'd actually get something like "Today the US 107th Airborn push for Algeba. There was a small conflict started on the outskirts of the city when suspected Iraqi rebel soldiers fired upon the US sqaudron. There are reports of 12 confirmed dead Iraqi's and possibly more, with several confirmed US calsalties. Luckily no Civilians were caught within the crossfire from these prilimary reports."
and when new reports are wrong from the media the reporters do correct the people in the studio ... with all of the reports that were comming back from a majority of the British reports were from within cities where they heard the Iraqi news first, and were always being closely monitored by the Iraqi's.
Quote: "Quoth - And if you're anti war, well then hey what hippee isnt?"
Being antiwar for no reason yes, that does make someone a hippie ... not wanting to fight for a conflict for your nation with conscription on makes you a hippie. What doesn't make you a hippie is sitting down and having an opinion which isn't FOR any conflict.
you wanna believe that i'm being some big jerk about everything lately then you do so, doesn't change the facts that althought YES saddam's regieme has been torn apart ... we all know damn'd well that was NOT the intent of the Bush administration going in, even more it doesn't appear to be the intent of them now as what they want to do is seize control of the country rather than allowing the current setup of a government and letting the UN Peaceforce take over keeping the country safe from Terrorists/Rebels.
as far as keeping Rebels/Terrorists under control, the US is probably the worst country in the world to be left in charge ... there don't have a statute right in this case, they don't have a logical case, infact there are no possible reasons i can see for the US even still being within the country. The British Armed forces have deal with Rebels and Terrorist groups as part of the UN Peaceforce, and have done so in almost every conflict in the world, so has Germany. It's time the US backed off from the country, they've done what they promised, now its time they let the rest clean up the mess they've left within the wake and focus on whatever target they feel is next... that would be the sound military option as well - that is as long as there is no REAL interest within Iraq apart from to have freed them from the opression.
Both of the other two governments involved in this conflict have taken steps to make sure why they stated they were there they're gonna carry out, i've seen nothing from the US government to hold up thier words going in.
I have also not seen any of these Ready to Roll Weapons of Mass destruction that the States claimed he has... i have seen alot of materials to POSSIBLY make them, but not big ass fully working Nuclear or Biological weaponry.
and having the materials to create these weapons is not the same as actually having the weapons themselves!!
Saddam has been removed from power, whether he is dead or not no longer matters, what matters is that his country is no longer his.
The conflict is over ... just because Rebels probably exist to rise up against the current power, doesn't mean the US has to tear apart the country looking for them - because Rebels are like Mice, you go looking for them and they'll scurry into the undergroun ... you wait for them then you attack and you have a better chance of catching them or killing them off.
Personally i want those damn'd incompetant US fools out of that country and out from under the foot of everyone... they've had thier war, they've done thier
good - we've all indulged them, now they can f**k off home!
Tsu'va Oni Ni Jyuuko Fiori Sei Tau!
