- What did Iraq have to do with Al Qaeda?
Posted by micma at 07:15 PM : Apr 08, 2007
......Answer: according to our President, that's Bush, Al Qaeda had NOTHING to do with Iraq......the problem with a corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack is the FACT that they don't care too much about religous conservative Republican presidents.
Now for the millionth time........the President took us into Iraq as part of his "preemptive stragegy" of not letting "danager" materialize. Iraq HAD WMD's because the UN inspectors took "inventory" of it in 1991 as part of Iraq's surrender in the Gulf War.......plus Clinton appointee George Tenent of the CIA .....told our president that it was a "Slam dunk" that Iraq had WMD's...........so our spy agencies told our President "wrong" information....... of course Americans never hear the "Mr. President it's a slam dunk that Iraq has WMD's........but our corupt liberal MSM wolfpack STILL repeats other slogan's like "Mission Accomplished" and "Stay the Course"......... The problem in American today is the "messenger" is absolutely corrupt.......and that "messenger" is America's corrupt liberal press...........really sad. - Reply to this comment

Why didn't Bush defeat the Taliban before invading Iraq? Wasn't the Taliban protecting Al Qaeda?

- It is convenient for fascist nazi Islamic muslims to forget that the "Grand Mufti of Jerusalem" went to Germany as a guest of Hitler during WWII...and begged Hitler to find the "final solution" to the jewish problem. This same Grand mufti used his influence to raise Two Muslim SS Divisions in Yugoslavia (Kosovo) and Albaina. These divisions were responsible for the murder of almost 1 Million jews, Serbs and Gypsies.
This same Grand Mufti was the maternal uncle of Yassir Arafat! The Mufti's war continues today worldwide.

- Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: You American haters bore me to tears, Ms. Barham. I've dealt with Europeans all my life. I know all about us parvenus from the States who come over here and race around your old Cathedral towns with our cameras and Coca-cola bottles... Brawl in your pubs, paw at your women, and act like we own the world. We over-tip, we talk too loud, we think we can buy anything with a Hershey bar. I've had Germans and Italians tell me how politically ingenuous we are, and perhaps so. But we haven't managed a Hitler or a Mussolini yet. I've had Frenchmen call me a savage because I only took half an hour for lunch. Hell, Ms. Barham, the only reason the French take two hours for lunch is because the service in their restaurants is lousy. The most tedious lot are you British. We crass Americans didn't introduce war into your little island. This war, Ms. Barham to which we Americans are so insensitive, is the result of 2,000 years of European greed, barbarism, superstition, and stupidity. Don't blame it on our Coca-cola bottles. Europe was a growing brothel long before we came to town.

- I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this Government: 'I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.' We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us: to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Winston Churchill Speech in the House of Commons, after taking office as Prime Minister (13 May 1940)
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar." Winston Churchill This call and spur to the faithful servants of Truth and Justice was quoted by Churchill in his first broadcast as Prime Minister to the British people on the BBC - May 19, 1940, London. - Reply to this comment

- We should all be VERY thankful for NATO right now. IF they were not fighting the REAL enemy in Afganistan, without a doubt the Taliban would have regained power there while we are off in Iraq don't what, no one knows. What frightens me though is that the VAST and I do mean the VAST Majority of the citizens of NATO Countries are really afraid of our Fascist Government and the Mental condition of Bush. Recent polls there CONSISTENTLY show that our leader is feared by them as much if not more than Bin Laden. The British citizens found Bush to be worse than the leader of North Korea. IF NATO abandon's us in Afganistan we have a real mess.
II tend to agree. I'm English and my perception of Mr Bush is rather ugly. I fully supported the war against the Taliban in retaliation for 9/11 and the continued operations in Afghanistan to prevent their return. However the Iraq war is utter nonsense! We over here were lied to about the WMD being a direct threat to our military base in Cyprus. The reality seems to be that Iraq under Saddam actually had a stabilising effect in the region. Bush and our fool Blair have now made us look unjust and trigger happy to the rest of the world!
Iran would never have captured British sailors in the same waters if the Iraq conflict didn%u2019t exist because the world would trust the British version of events and Iran would look like clear aggressors. - Reply to this comment

According to a recent poll of people in several nations world-wide, commissioned by the BBC, the US was third from the bottom on a list of nations considered to be a positive influence.
The only two nations that were viewed less favorably were Israel and Iran.
The Bush administration has single handedly destroyed this nation's ability to positively influence world opinion. Or, promote "American values." - Reply to this comment
- Good point, I just get a bit tetchy when seperate nations are described as the European Union. Perhaps you'd feel the same if the US was labelled the continent of Americas.
Posted by thebuggle at 04:36 PM : Apr 08, 2007
The primary point I was attempting to make was that the Soviet Union, which was also a union of separate states, provided a military occupation force that failed to "conquer" Afghanistan.
The European Union, NATO, "coalition of the willing" or whatever label is applied will most likely be equally unsuccessful.
And, there is little difference between the former (Soviet Union occupation) and the latter (US led occupation, currently referred to as "NATO occupation").
I have lived in Europe and do realize that most Europeans are very nationalistic and bristle at being referred to as if they were all the same, or, "European Union citizens."
That was not my intent.
In regards to the troll's irrelevant drivel, the only soldiers NATO has are those provided by member states. NATO has no independent military. There is no "NATO Army." - Reply to this comment
