GREAT POSTS !

BUY YOURSELF A COKE, OR DR. PEPPER :toast:

I haven' t seen the 2nd post but I will comment on the first.Wouldn't supporting Iraq over Iran be picking the lesser of 2 evils?Then we have the gulf war.

The gulf war was a multi-national force made up of just about every country.It is apparent that it was in there best interest to stop the madman.

It seems to me that the blowback ended up being blownback with the end result being Saddams death.


The West(notice I didn't say USA) must of been all wrong after forcefully removing Iraq from Kuwait.
I guess all that time to peacefully leave to avoid a conflict didn't work??GO figure:shrug:

Did you completely miss the entire message?

I understand that by supporting a regime in the 80's ended up being our enemies in the gulf war in the 90's and the Iraqi war in 2003.We created the monster.

Just like in Iran in the 50's.Its garbage.Supporting Iraq against Iran pick your poison.I am sure the US had there doubts about Iraq while helping them.

The Shaw of Iran has a better case .Still comparing different times and era's to connect the dots to me seems like a reach,not blowback.

Its the Shah.

You don't see a pattern? US involvement has created hatred for us around the globe. We fight in the name of democracy but we don't support democracies. We support anyone who will further our agenda.

This is not about Iran or Iraq. Or Irak as you would say.

I think Rusty's on to something here Tramp.

I mean Rusty was the one who pointed out that Indians were benefactors of the European migration to America because they (Indians) never could have won WWII with bows and arrows.

How can you argue with logic like that? :shrug:

Yeah he is going against his own logic. Big shocker. Use it when you think its to your advantage. Just like those bible thumpers who pick what parts of the bible they like for that day.

I was going to leave the Indian thing alone for at least a few days. I'm sure he'll get a new nickname soon enough. I am really partial to Indian Killer though. :shrug:

Every time I or someone else debates or disagrees with a topic or agenda you guys turn to bashing.

No more debating the issues what you guys say and believe is word.

If you can't debate then just be quiet and go away. Your crying is getting really old.

I don't know Trench bible thumper,Indian killer,whats the new name,etc. it gets old.

Seems like its the bashing clan if you ask me.
Clink is the better word.I already admitted my mistake about the Indians but you can't let it rest.


Wonder why most posters stay away from the (socialist)libertarian threads.I don't because why should you people bully to seem like your in the right.

They don't call it socialist libertarian for nothing.

That's just it TU you don't debate you bash.
You Know my stance on your warped mind views.

I will stay away no problem.Gonna be awful quiet since no one else responds to your views.

Unless your Trench ,Shawn,and illum.
At least you will have no opposition,which you seem to like anyway.

Have I called you any of those things? No, I have not.

I merely commented on your "unusual" take on how Native Americans benefitted from European immigration to America.

I think I get it now Rusty... You're like on a whole different level of consciousness... like the Dalai Lama. There are things from you I can learn. Really, I'm in awe.

Socialist Libertarian ?

Please define, I am about as much of a socialist as Elton John is straight.

 

[Trampled Underfoot]

Rusty just doesn't like his thoughts being challenged. Its really that simple.

I wouldn't expect you to have the capacity to think about what happened before 2001.
