Reply to Rantisi...Hamas' new leader targeted and killed in Gaza. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Have other nations said anything about Israel's recent actions? If not, I'm sure those people who prefer that Israel wait and die one-by-one as they're forsaken by an impotent league of nations will be pretty pissed that Israel is taking action to protect itself. not yet...but give them time...im sure they will try the UN security council route again...and get blocked again by the US...sometimes I wonder what would Europe do if there was

An Interesting Parallel in the War on Terror! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

In the early morning hours, foreign invaders attacked the United States using aircraft to launch a devastating blow that shocked the psychie of the American people and called into question their willingness to fight back. It was the first time in history that an attack of this magnitude and daring was launched against American soil, in its aftermath lay thousands of

Rantisi...Hamas' new leader targeted and killed in Gaza. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Last month, Hamas' spirital and operational leader and it's founder, Yassin, was killed in a targeted strike by Israeli forces...killing him, his bodyguards and unfortunately several bystanders. While a good part of the world reacted as usual that it was "uncalled for", "he was only a religious leader" etc., it was part of the course for the 'selective outrage' mental

Reply to Why we fight in Iraq in Politics JoeUser Forums

The only Nation linked to supplying arms to Al-Queda and using nukes is the USA, and that was to achieve these 'terror goals' against the Russians. .....Ummm...gee last I checked...Pakistans ISI was behind the arming and support of Al-queda and the Taliban... help from Saudi Arabia....not the US......(both the Taliban & Al-Queda grew out of the afghan freedom fighters in the post-Soviet occupation of that country) ..........As to the

From what I understand, war against a country without oil is perfectly fine, but war against a country with war is evil!I love that animation, Anthony! Truer words have never been spoken..or written....Who'd have thought using logic to tackle a debate issue could win points....I award you 10 points for being realistic and sane....(must not be a member of the anti-war crowd as they rarely are)..lol

Reply to An Observation of the Anti-War/Anti-Bush Crowd! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Really, last i checked war was perfectly justified by the useful idiots listed in the article...just as long as the regime thats using it is a tolitarian regime of say N.K, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, etc...I would also like to add that most of these "false-flagged" groups have ties to organisations that strive for the re-unifaction of both NK and SK under NK rule...the former Iraqi regime, etc...as for war..it is a neccessary evil...as for peace..it is an illus

An Observation of the Anti-War/Anti-Bush Crowd! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Something I should have noted earlier but pocketed it away in the corner of my mind is the very interesting T-shirts that seem to be the 'required' dress of choice for the hyper-left's protest...these T-shirts almost always have some socialist/communist dictator or "hero"....most notably being Ernesto 'Che' Guevara...although there is the stadard rouges gallery of C

After a bit of surfing the web I came across this bit by Sen.

In a speech on the senate floor, Miller blasted Clarke for hi

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

A Few Positive Things in Post-Saddam Iraq in Current Events JoeUser Forums

With the daily barrage of network media "hyped" stories on the varied problems the Coalition and the Iraqi people themselves face in the post-Saddam Iraq, one might get the impression that nothing has gone right for them...and to a small extent that is true but the media has tenacious appitite for pushing the so-called "hard-hitting" stories i.e. attacks on coalition/

Reply to Should Americans care what Europeans think of candidates? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I have to say the article hits dead on....frankly I know I'm not the only American who is getting rather tired of all the somewhat elitist mentality opinions coming out of Europe these days...as to why they dont like Bush...could it be that whether you agree with him or not...like him or not...he is gonna do what's in the best intrest of the US...not Europe...although the two generally are one in the same...but as of late...it seems the most idiotic rh

Reply to Motives to Support Invading Milosevic and not Hussein in Politics JoeUser Forums

Well seeing as the UN oil-for-food program seems to have come under seriousfire for mismanagement (im being kind) and outright bribes...(most notably to france and russia...go figure) Saddam did indeed have the money to play....seeing as whatever shipment contract was over-priced by the sellers and a large part of the overcharge was then kicked back to Saddams pocket....

With regards to Israel possibly seeking support from the EU...thats bout as probable as Bin Laden going to an American strip bar for some laughs....especially since the EU is known to have funded the Palestinian Authority with billions of euro's in recent years (90% of which has disappeared into the unknown) so much for EU accountability..kinda like UN accountability...useless

I am under the impression that Hasam leadership moved away ever so slightly from that threat on Americans...probably for one simple fact...in todays dangerous world....if Hamas was stupid enough to try an attack us either here in the states or on foreign soil....the response by the US would shall we say not be of the verbal kind...and Hamas knows its limitations in this....facing Isreal as its only real enemy hasnt really be a winning endevor to date f
