This attitude shits me - the whole idea of a democracy is that people have the right to dislike the people in power.

Commie Commie!

'Cuba

Cuba continued to provide safehaven to several terrorists and US fugitives in 2000. A number of Basque ETA terrorists who gained sanctuary in Cuba some years ago continued to live on the island, as did several US terrorist fugitives.

Havana also maintained ties to other state sponsors of terrorism and Latin American insurgents. Colombia's two largest terrorist organizations, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the National Liberation Army, both maintained a permanent presence on the island. '

oops maybe because i forgot the link.

Did you miss the post 9/11 speech?

You are either with us or you are against us.

Syria is a well known established sponsor of terrorism especially against our friend and ally Israel.

Fuck Syria, too. We're on a mission to democratize the middle east and take out all the bad apples over there. Assad's next if he doesn't get the messages being fired over his bow.

After 9/11 as CIA Director George Tenet said so eloquently.

"The gloves are off."

People can be pissed all they want, let me tell ya why.

1. Bush won the presidential election. He was voted into office fair and square.

2. Syria has been a long time supporter of terrorism, since the 1970's when the current leaders father came into power, its not something that happened overnight.

3. Syria is not being targeted because they just have WMD's but because of their ties to funding and harboring terrorists. Who says we are going to war, and that Syria hasn't been an enemy of the U.S for some time? We are simply putting pressure on Syria to do the right thing in this instance.


Just keep in mind that there are soldiers fighting and dieing for this country and for your right to say "amerikkka". You can be opposed to war, as no one likes it. But there are many worse places to live and Iraq used to be one of them. Regardless of your political beliefs, Bush represents this entire country as he is our leader. Only thing I can say is next time make sure your political party gets elected. It's also very funny how you can say there are many pissed off americans. There are twice as many Americans that are proud of the country and the people who fight for it. I'm not here to get into a pissing match with you but from a personal opinion I think you normally have a good thought process, but unfortunately I do not agree with you on this one.

One thing is certain, however: war with Syria, and the destruction of Damascus, is inevitable, because the prophets of God have foretold it. Lebanon, which is a puppet state of Syria, figures largely in the situation, as do Jordan, Iraq, and the Palestinians.

trust me the situation with syria is probably much more complex, and fact oriented than any civilians sitting around on an adult webmaster board would know about.

since when was Syria our close buddies?

get a clue - we have all the troops and equipment over there in the region - do you think they will be leaving anytime soon? I have friends deployed in Iraq, they were told they would be there for 2 years or more....

plenty of time to "liberate" most anti-US Middle East nations (Syria, Iran, Libya, etc)

and it is obvious we don't actually have to find any wmd, we just have to say we know they are there - that's good enough for this administration to do whatever the fuck they want.

I might not agree with them, but I doubt I would be well recieved in any of these places before this happened, either. Blow em up, or don't blow em up, they hate my American infidel ass, just the same.

this made me laugh.

his father was just another brutal dictator.

'Since Bashar Assad took over power from his late father Hafez, some had supposed that the Western-educated Bashar would take a more enlightened policy towards Israel. Hafez Assad was a brutal dictator who ruled by terrorizing Syria's citizens. Though Bashar has made some token overtures to his citizens to loosen the reigns of oppression, his stance towards Israel is no less harsh than his father. In fact, at a recent Arab summit held in Amman, Assad characterized the Israeli people as "worse than the Nazis." The Syrians have consistently been among the most extreme nations in expressing hatred for Israel, and Bashar Assad's ascension to power has done nothing to moderate that.'

from r3k's link: http://www.worthyinsights.com/featur...ith-syria.html

dont get me wrong, I love what America as a whole stand for but this administration is just begging and pleading for more and more enemies as time passes by. Our economy for working class americans is at an all time low since the great depression, gas prices are at a high, and our usual methods of diplomacy aren't being seen as effective by our friends. We ruled with an iron hand by being a helpful and prosperous nation...now nations see us as a threat and just may be gathering WMD behind our backs to punish us for what Bush is doing. I don't agree at all with the administration and I pray and hope there won't be 4 more years of homeland terrorism

Sounds to me.:thumbsup Looks even better.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Think for yourself...because that was said in an emaotional speach doesn't make it true, just a very effective emotional tool.

Quote:

That's eloquent? It's a Hollywood one-liner, for fuck's sake. But once again, very effective. "Cool, Rambo's on our side! We can't lose!"

that's the beauty of America. Unlike Syria, if you dont like the Pres., you can choose to vote for another candidate.

For all the people that bitch about GW, how many of you bothered to vote? That last election was so close it isn't funny (and there are tons of stories/theories as to how GW's baby brother fixed the FLA election and gave him the presidency) - let's see what happens next time. Will Americans actually get up off their ass, register, and vote? Or will you allow people who do not see things the way you do choose who will run your country?

FYI, kid,
Carter's inflation - 18% a year
(today's 2.9%)

Carter's unemployment - 11%

I know you weren't born than, so your life span is the only memory and knowledge you have,
but still,
I can't beleive there is no high school in 50 miles radius from where you live.

Gas prices in USA today are 1/2 from the gas prices in Europe.

as for your prayers,
I have an exercize for you,
take a piece of paper and drop it on the floor.
see it land on the floor.

now PRAY that the piece of paper go UP when you drop it on the floor.

When it happens, the rest of your prayers will be answered as well.

I cuncur.

Might I ask what Civil Liberties me, you and everyone else have lost?

not 2 sure about this.:Graucho

your Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great grand kids won't even get to see this.

Now here's a person that knows the american way. Kudo's:thumbsup :thumbsup I might add though I bet the Americans that are knocking America, I will give you odds NOT 1 in 40 of' em even knows were they report to Vote. does that tell you anything.


Want the bet?

man I am very happy to read that some USguy is able to think about that this way :thumbsup
I think I'll finaly change my oppinion on US people :winkwink:

yes.. and its not only oil or isreal.. there is probably even more to it... well, at the end, its for the good of american people only.. i guess you can just sit back, relax and watch since there is nothing we can do about it..

wmd.. liberation... pffft.. that was the worst mask i've ever seen a US president came up with..

The United States of America
IS NOT A **democracy** and I'm not telling you what it is. Go do some research. I see that word over and over democracy. I repeat the UNITED STATES of AMERICA IS NOT A democracy.

i'll try not to be, thanks for the tip.

take a wild guess what they want to do with your infidel ass.:Graucho

Sorry man but that comment was dumb too...hahaha. I am glad you love what america stands for as we all should since we cherish our freedoms daily.

If you honestly think that the "depression" right now is because of the administration you are sadly mistaken. If you think that none of this was starting during the reign of a democratic leadership you are wrong. This "depression" is simply a cycle that our economy must go through in order to build itself back up again. Without set backs we would never see failure and would thus never learn from mistakes. I hate to say it but this government is not perfect, but it is the best one out of any of any other country on this planet.

The current economic status is not the fault of the republican party nor Bush as a president. It is simply the result of a downturn in the economic movement of this country. The president alone cannot change the economic status of this country. As a matter of fact the man primarily responsible for the great economic times we saw a few years ago is still holding his position. His name is Greenspan. Look back through history you will see nothing is different, it all happens, but everyone is so quick to point a finger at someone else instead of at theirselves anymore.

Andy

shave it?

what is a Republic, Alex?

come on put you're thinking cap on.:Graucho

We'll have a new president soon enuff so no reason to worry...

theres no democrat that can beat bush without a third party candidate taking a lot of conservative vote.

A repeat of 92 would be the only possiblity when Clinton won with only 43% of the vote and Perot taking a lot of conservative vote.

duuuuuuuuuude... i would consider the early 80's to be "in the last 20 years".

ever wonder why the big cars of the 70's _really_ disappeared?

fuck, gas crises. what? no bush? fuck.
