BF2S Forums Waterboarding Is Ok...No Wait!!!

It seems to me the Military Industrial Complex is out of control, if they ignore the President, White House, Congress, DoJ etc.

The CIA failed to prevent 9/11 - when they knew it was coming, and compounded the situation by reacting so ineptly afterwards.

Was this all deliberate?

I still believe there were factions that knew AQ were planning an attack, expected a USS Cole type pinprick and were rubbing their hands over all the extra budget and powers they would be able to justify, all the shiny toys they'd be able to test out on third-world tribesmen, and all the Middle Eastern countries they'd be able to fuck up in America's and, more importantly, Israel's interests.

That they misunderstimated AQ, and fucked up the aftermath with very little to show for it except egg on their faces, 1,000s of dead Americans and trillions of dollars lost is an indictment of just how stupid and ignorant the average gung-ho CIA fuckwit really is.

The problem isn't the CIA. The CIA's actions abroad and at home are only a logical conclusion of our own society's values. America is a bloodthirsty society. Most Americans like the death penalty because it kills bad guys. Most Americans like guns since they can kill the bad guys. And we like our military since they kill bad guys.

The U.S. does a good job dehumanizing people who don't keep perfectly in line. Everyone fighting alongside Sunni militants in Iraq and Syria is an uncivilized savage. Everyone arrested for selling drugs is a gang thug. Every Afghan fighting against U.S. occupation is a religious extremists. Their lives obviously don't matter. Americans won't care until it happens to them or someone they care about.

The holocaust and fascism was European colonization turned back onto Europe. What the U.S. government does abroad or towards its ethnic minorities will be used against the entire society in a decades time.

actually both are correct.  Learned is an adjective too! As in "a learned professor".  So you're wrong twice!

Let me know when you'd like the next English lesson.

Except they're pronounced completely differently, and have different meanings.
Learned in the original example is terrible English.

I know I could never wrap my head around the idea that language is dynamic and alternative spellings and pronunciations are a natural byproduct of this.

I'd like solder (not 'sahduh') and Aluminium (not 'Ahloohminerm') first, if that's OK.
