Maybe Al Qaeda are using "an alternative set of procedures" in Iraq and Afghanistan. LOL. This'll be the new bullshit phrase to try and water down torture by 'allied nations'. Previous bullshit phrases used to alter the meaning/gravity of a term or water it down include:
- Negative Patient Output: in other words - deaths - used during the Vietnam war
- Homicide bomber: OMG we better catch the guy who did it!!! Oh wait a second - he's dead... LOL
- Regime Change: often equates to 'screw their democratic choice, we don't like it' - used in Palestine (Hamas), Iran and Venezuela
- Rendition: Illegal transporting of prisoners, WTF does rendition mean to anyone?
- Terrorists: Anyone oppposed to the will of another more powerful force or political entity
I'll add more as I think of them...

1. Yea.  I've been to France and they hate Americans.  Every time America tries to do anything France is there attempting to undermind.  Germany was reight there with it.  Again Russia /Iraq...Oil for night visions/AK's/RPG's ..  Those were used to kill US soldiers.   

2.  Great.  Maybe they'll kill you last then.

3.  I call upon those images to remind other readers that the people who you continually defend and attempt to justify their actions are the same ones that actually DID these things to my country men.  Sorry if you don't think that makes my or the US behaviour more respectable but, we did nothing and more of my counrtymen died.

This isn't like the Nazi party, if you're referring to it IG-Calibre. These people actually committed crimes and were trying to attack us (Well, so we think ).

1. I think you'll find that governments very rarely represent the true will of the people. Money usually overrides everything. If there is something from which both France and USA can profit from through alliance they do so. France is an arrogant self-sufficient little country and that probably riles you Americans. Get over it. They had their decision, you had yours on the Iraq issues. On a GREAT MANY other issues they cooperate and are in complete agreement. International relations are not based solely around ONE issue. Sheesh. Same goes for Germany. BTW, are you disgruntled that these countries chose to do otherwise with respect to Iraq when it was their right to do so? That's not very democratic.

2. Well they didn't kill me when I was in Palestine, Jordan or Morocco and they probably won't kill me when I'm in Istanbul at the end of October. Maybe they mistake my red hair and pale skin for that of a typical muslim. LOL. I got the warmest of welcomes from all Arabs. Did you know that in Tehran they have a street named after Bobby Sands, the Irish Republican hunger striker?

3. Newsflash: nobody is defending true terrorists. People are defending due process and the concept: Innocent Until Proven Guilty. Maybe that isn't part of your vision for a just and moral America.

Those things were done by bad foreign policies taken by US government.  Don't blame the terrorists.  If you point a guy with your gun and his standing between you and a cliff, he won't jump, he will try to kill you.

I must admit that I do enjoy conversing with you man...

1.  No.  I tried to like France.  I really did.  I even did my best to learn the language.  Maybe it is their arrogance at which I am so disgusted.  Maybe it was the paper tray liners in the Subway restaurants depicting hamburgers crashing into the twin towers... Maybe them opposing the Iraq war was the last straw for me.  I wonder how fast they would have been calling Bush if it was the Eiffel tower that got taken out...  Also it is their right to refuse/protest the Iraq war.  I think they are nuts though.  I guess they thought Saddam was so great.  Maybe your right those countries protesing the war were in bed with Saddam (your money ally theory).

2.  I think its great that you can go to those countries without fear.  I'm sure there is a lot of cool stuff to see there.  However I doubt you are a muslim.  Right now muslim extremists are killing other muslims.  As a non-muslim -Why do you think that your people are exempt from them?

3.  I do believe that there is an innocent until proven guilty, for those that are US citizens and those that have adopted a constitution like our own.  I could care less about a extremist that wants you and me dead and I doubt other extremists have show that same courteousy to the US people.  Hell, they never have in the past.

If this is too off topic, just pm me with a response.

So you're happy shipping your fellow soldiers home in boxes because your Commander-in-Chief lied to your government and people about the need to go to war in Iraq?  Your brothers and sisters in the military are dying because you went in to fight a war under false pretences and you're applauding the President for it?

Give me strength.
You have a valid point, but not to anything I said . I said nothing about the war in Iraq or the soldiers and sailors coming home in boxes. I talked about our under cover operatives who operate without our knowledge. They are not armed forces members so what the hell are you talking about. If you want to tell me you hate the war, then I agree  with you. But if you if you are bitching like a little girl about you not knowing the CIA's every move then save your breath, I think your an asshole.

1. the french hate everyone and that's why the rest of the world makes fun of them... Also the french have a muslim immagration problem, do you not remember the 3 weeks of rioting so they have their reason for not backing us and I don't blame them. Not sure about Germany thou

2. CameronPoe, I can't belive you made a blanket statement like that, it's not Musliems it's their extermist, In the USA we do have a large Muslim population and they are very docile(meaning there is no trouble, and they could cause it) I don't agree on the killing you last either and don't know the innitial context but I can't belvie I read that.
3. Did what things to your countrymen I'm terrible sorry I didn't see the images and am totally lost right now. But if evading Iraq was the right thing to do, you need to go down to NO and put in some volenter work because they are living and need more help then the victoms of 9/11

Well you were over there fighting bravely for our Freedoms. Right now are you so blind to see that our freedoms are being taken away slowely every day, and they are. Why do you think illegal alliens are being pushed right now it's to make a federal ID which has already been passed(I'll get the link later). Are you ready to fight for what this country is founded on if our current government goes to far? And belive me Secret prisions is already going to far..

Have you any idea what you fought for? It certainly wasn't defence! You were the aggressor and that is the reason why your country became #1 target. I on the other hand certainly am no aggressor and neither is France like someone said before. The Eiffel tower hasn't been shot down simply because France has not invaded other countries! If they do, rest asured they will be targeted as well.

And don't you dare lecture me simply because you have a purple heart and a goddamn action ribbon. Because I at least have the brains NOT to become a target.

If it wasnt for these SECRET prisons, we wouldnt have gotten the TOP 14 Terrrorists in the world OFF THE STREETS. Do you really think, with the red cross, the humanitarian groups and the likes watching Gitmo like hawks we or ANY other country(yes others were involved) would have foiled ANY of the terror plots that were foiled? Hell no! Christ people, France has gone as far as to say yesterday that theres no such thing as a war on terror(when most of the world KNOWS that Most of the radicals have moved into France and its suberbs). WTf is that shit about? When this WAR is brought to there doorstep, I hope the rest of the free world Pats them on the back and says"welp we told ya so".

PS. OUG  Your and Idiot.  Why dont you just Bury yourself ass up so i have a place to park my bike. Thanks.

Okay, I shall address the specific points about the CIA etc., instead of the fact that you served in the US Marines and "applaud those [e.g. the President, by implication] who keep us safe every day and approve of their methods no matter what the cost [e.g. lives of soldiers]".

You say that the CIA etc. are not uniformed soldiers and so nothing that they do can be considered an act of war.  Yet after civilians hijacked aircraft and flew them into buildings, didn't President Bush say it was an act of warfare?

As for name calling, don't do it.  It's not big and it's not clever.  "Pick a side"?  Haven't I done that already, haven't you called me an asshole for the side I've so obviously picked?

What are you winning?  Devaluation of American culture and society?  Destruction of the values held dear by Americans throughout the last two centuries like truth, justice, innovation, embracing cultures, etc.

What I see in America today are lies, internment, torture, regime change and insular thinking.

What are you winning?  Devaluation of American culture and society?  Destruction of the values held dear by Americans throughout the last two centuries like truth, justice, innovation, embracing cultures, etc.

What I see in America today are lies, internment, torture, regime change and insular thinking.
I'm sorry you view America in that light.  Bush never denied "secret" prisons.  I wish he used the reason of "failure of UN compliance" to remove Saddam.  I also don't agree with your torture accusation.  What Saddam and his sons did to their own citizens I would consider torture.  What the US is doing is protecting itself.  I doubt you would be so critical if your country were to be attacked in a similar manner.  There is no "regime change".  The American people have spoken and they chose Bush.  As to your "insular thinking" how is setting up a democracy in a country that was once controlled by a brutal dictator considered a bad thing.  I'm thinking that unless you liked Saddam and his methods why would you have a problem with what we are doing?  Iraq will be a much better place in the long run.

Have you any idea what you fought for? It certainly wasn't defence! You were the aggressor and that is the reason why your country became #1 target. I on the other hand certainly am no aggressor and neither is France like someone said before. The Eiffel tower hasn't been shot down simply because France has not invaded other countries! If they do, rest asured they will be targeted as well.

And don't you dare lecture me simply because you have a purple heart and a goddamn action ribbon. Because I at least have the brains NOT to become a target.
A bit harsh there oug.  If he was drafted then he really didn't have the choice of being a target did he?  He was merely performing his civic duty.  How were we the aggressor?  France hasn't been attacked yet because you aren't on the top of their "people to kill today" list.  But you are only fooling yourself if you really believe that you aren't somewhere on that list.

Was he drafted? Ok then. I didn't even know there was a draft. If there is,  its my bad. But I recon he had a choice (it coincides with his distorted view of the world btw). And if still after all those years and all this analysis of the alleged "war on terror" you haven't realized what it is about then I'm sincerely sorry. Hell, even by taking a look at this forum you should be able to get a grasp, no special research is necessary.

There is NO war on terror. And even though my personal opinion is even more extreme*, I'll give you an example you might relate to: What's going on in Afghanistan at the moment? I hear NATO is asking for more troops cause the Taliban are giving them hell since most of the US troops pulled out.

Why doesn't your government give a fuck? Why are they concentrating on Iraq instead? Supposedly when this "war on terror" campaign started, it was all about Afghanistan and the Taliban regime helping Al Quaeda. Again, not that I believe the latter is true, but nonetheless. Why is the alleged mastermind of this whole thing still free? Why is it that getting Osama Bin Laden became from #1 priority to "I don't know where he is, and frankly I don't care" by GWB?


*Personal opinion: Afghanistan and Al Quaeda had nothing to do with this. Osama may have wanted to pull a 9/11 but he never could. It's all an inside job the goal of which is to give the US government an excuse to extend its grasp in the Middle East. It's the implementation of the Northwoods Documents' proposal. The only thing that differs is the target (ME not Cuba).

Did any of you anti-Europe people think that maybe there are historical reasons for Europe's unwillingness to send troops anywhere?  Got (sick of) war?
