Jesus fucking christ.

Is there any shitty thing that these Fools will NOT do?

[fucktopgirl]

I guess that Ali Fadhil have some good proof of the us money scam!!

[Schmeltz]

So this is what freedom looks like, huh. Saddam would be proud.

[marsdaddy]

I AM supporting our troops. I've got the yellow ribbon!

[ASsman]

Psh, I've got two yellow ribbons and an American flag one.. And whut? More american than your single ribbon ass....

[kaiser soze]

brown shirts?

well..if they're taking away freedoms in the U.S., they better be taking them away in Iraq!

*shakes head*

[sam i am]

Don't you find it endearing that they let him go "a few hours later" as a case of mistaken identity?

[Echewta]

Sorry to fire bullets, hood you, and think you were someone you werent. Are bad. Yea, you'll get your tapes back that we should have. Soon. Promise.

[Schmeltz]

Yeah, I suppose if foreign troops occupying my ruined country invaded my home, sprayed bullets at my family, kidnapped me, and robbed me of my livelihood, it would be alright as long as they eventually got the right man.

[minijosh]

I guess practice makes perfect. (y) at least nobody was killed. Maybe they were told that the person had weapons and was a spy. Would you go in with your gun in your holster and just knock on the door? House keeping, you want me to fluff your pillow?

[Ali]

Sorry to fire bullets, hood you, and think you were someone you werent. Are bad. Yea, you'll get your tapes back that we should have. Soon. Promise.Oops, sorry, we seem to have lost them. Here's a WalMart gift voucher, go get yourself some new ones.

[Echewta]

How many years does it take to practice perfect?

I wish cops here would spray bullets when going into a house.

[sam i am]

Oops, sorry, we seem to have lost them. Here's a WalMart gift voucher, go get yourself some new ones.

Are there Wal Marts in Iraq? :confused:

Maybe they could go shop at the stores attached to all those destroyed mosques that ace is so worried about :rolleyes:

[Schmeltz]

You're right - it's the officers who are incompetent. The troops are just vicious.

Unlike how the Nazis (Werhmacht) were during WWII or the North Koreans were during the Korean War or the Tutsis were to the Hutus in Rwanda or the Vietcong were to the South Vietnamese or the French were to the Algerians etc, et al.....

[franscar]

The US armed forces. Not as bad as the Nazis.

They should use that for recruitment.

LMAO.

War is hell. Read The Red Badge of Courage or All Quite on the Western Front.

It's crappy that it's necessary sometimes.

[franscar]

True, firing guns at a guy when he's asleep with his wife and kids is terribly necessary. God bless those brave souls.

[sam i am]

Oh brother.

Shit happens.

He'll get over it.

[franscar]

The US Armed Forces. Shit happens.

Don't think that one works quite so well.

[sam i am]

C'mon....it's a good saying.

Bet it increases recruitment.

[sam i am]

How about this one :

The US armed forces. Don't tread on me.




Oh....wait.....that one's already been used.

[Funkaloyd]

War is hell...It's crappy that it's necessary sometimes.

When?

Here's a fun little game to play: everyone, or just me and you, can take turns listing chiefs of state who have started a war or two over the last 100 years. Starting with:

George W. Bush.

Now let's see who goes on the list next to him. You might want to make it somebody respectable?

[Schmeltz]

Genocidal maniacs and racial supremacists. Good company for your troops, alright.

Oh....wait.....that one's already been used.The US armed forces. Because sometimes, you have no choice.

(coming soon to a school near you)

[ASsman]

--edit---
Nevermind.

[valvano]

how about

"The US Army : Because hippies and liberals can't protect themselves"

:p

[Schmeltz]

"The US Army: Because journalism is the real threat."

I'm game....

Franklin Delano Roosevelt


Wait....

You say he DIDN'T know about the Japanese "sneak" attack on Pearl Harbor and that he DIDN'T impose sanctions that he knew would drive Japan to attack?

Hmmm.....

[sam i am]

Genocidal maniacs and racial supremacists. Good company for your troops, alright.

Aren't you from Germany?

[sam i am]

"The US Army: Because journalism is the real threat."

Damn straight.....blow the crap our of all those reporters with their hidden agendas....

Yeeeehaaaaa! :rolleyes:

[Funkaloyd]

He didn't start the war though. No non-violent action, no matter how unjust, can be considered a declaration of war. Otherwise you might say that Hussein didn't start the war with Kuwait.

Saddam Hussein goes next on the list.

[Schmeltz]

You say he DIDN'T know about the Japanese "sneak" attack on Pearl Harbor and that he DIDN'T impose sanctions that he knew would drive Japan to attack?


Uhhh... yes, that has been definitively established, or so every book I've read on the period has told me. Be realistic - FDR didn't impose sanctions in order to deliberately drive Japan to attack his country. Why in the hell would he give them that advantage? He didn't know that the Japanese would botch Pearl Harbour, and if they hadn't the war might have gone a lot differently. He imposed sanctions as part of his support for Chiang Kai-Shek, whom the Japanese had been fighting in China for years before Pearl Harbour, and the Japanese made a monumental miscalculation in expanding the war so dramatically in response.

Don't blame FDR for a Japanese blunder.

There is quite a bit of evidence that was EXACTLY his plan....which is quite machiavellian if you ask me.

Why did the Japanese apologize and pay for the Panay when it was bombed in 1936?

Why did FDR allow hundreds of thousands of Chinese to die at the hands of the Japanese before allowing Pearl Harbor and throwing the US into war?

Saddam Hussein goes next on the list.

I would respectfully disagree with you that "No non-violent action, no matter how unjust, can be considered a declaration of war."

The Japanese considered the imposition of a steel and oil embargo as an act of war.

Ok, next on the list goes Bill Clinton :eek:

For Bosnia and Somalia.

Frankly, the United States should not be punished for Japan's fucktardy decision making, and I refuse to believe that Saddam Hussein wasn't an asshole who started the war with Kuwait.

You cannot get away with burning your neighbor's house down because s/he was annoying, and you cannot get away with punching your little brother because he was being annoying (I've tried). Starting a war is no different.

We're talking about those who started wars. Churchill also went to war, but afaik, he never started one.
