Ah, but you're looking at it from the die-hard war supporter's view. Objectively, there is none.


erm, I thought the die-hard war supporter view would be that Iraqi fighters ARE terrorists...


That too, obviously. But how many die-hard pro-war people like the French at all? Wink

Very off topic, but...

Osama Bin Laden is offering 25000 for anyone willing to be a suicide bomber. So far none of those four people that took the offer have appeared to collect their cash.


maybe the money is to fund their attack, not reward it :rolleyes:

Your right java, it is hipocracy. Hipocritical that they support sanctions on them while members of the UN give sadaam what he needs and money. The fact that they lie to their own member nations just because they dont like them is why they cant be trusted and shouldnt have ANY say in what we do. And yes they are a corrupt mob. I dont blame George W for going on with the war without the UN's permission, I blame the UN for not giving permission fast enough. We as a country needed to deploy fast before the Iraqis got entrenched, had we not then it might have costed much more time and more soldiers lives. But again the UN doesnt care about US soldiers, they just care about how much they can get away with, without us knowing about it. You claim that the are humanitarians, while that may be true it holds no justification for their actions. And many of the terms of the charter where broken by the UN themselves, SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE FOLLOW IT? And to those iraqis that have freedom and no fear of being raped and torured, I believe that they will agree: The ends justifies the means.

And your right, i dont like the French, gotta problem with that? i dont care, thats just the way it is. If they dont like us just for the sake of hating us, I can do the same.

"Well HE did it" isn't legal justification for anything. And take special note: it certainly doesn't make what the UN OR the US have done legal by any means.

The fact of the matter is, you signed a contract saying you wouldn't go fucking around with other member states and their governments unless the Security Council says so, and they did not. Here we are today, and the U.S. and the coalition are in the wrong legally on the matter. Therefore, the ends cannot possibly justify the means because the means to which the ends have come about have been illegal in nature. That too, gbull, is hypocrisy on the part of the United States and their coalition as well.

And I'm going to let you in on a little secret, the Polish probably didn't give a damn who liberated them from Hitler. In comparison, this argument has no merit in this discussion.

Bigotry isn't cool. Especially when you don't know that all the French don't like you. I suggest you open your eyes and see that the French, like Americans, or Europeans, or Germans, or whatever, are generally a good people. And what you spew here is nothing but hatred.

Wow. I wish I had the time to read all these posts but people attacking SFE waste so much of their time acting like 5 years olds by telling him to stick a pole up his butt, that all that garbage is interwoven with their actual points.

I love how SFE apparently "hates America" now, and that anything that he says is somehow "propoganda." If SFE blindly follows "liberal propoganda" than all you dipshits blindly follow whatever our government tells us. Stop watching NASCAR and learn to question.

And here comes SEAL with his typical stereotyping... I hate race cars.

These bastards are willing to strap on a bomb and blow themselves up for their "Allah"... and we can't make them listen to dogs barking? Please.

The "insurgents" in Iraq are not primarily Iraqis. They are from other countries, members of terrorist organizations who do NOT want to see Iraq turn to a Democracy. They are also trying to stop the elections because they know that if we succeed in Iraq, it will be bad for them. In Afghanistan, people braved suicide bombing threats and long lines just to exercise their democracy, and the Iraqis will too.


I'm the bawss.

Thank you very very much.

Anywhoot:

Does it really matter what THEY do? We are THE most powerful military force on the planet, and if ANY military should be the "bigger man" and not stoop down to dirty levels of warfare, we should be able to. Just because they attack us with suicide bombs, doesn't mean we can go around and take a shit on the Geneva Convention.

I know this relies on whether or not you think what happened was a violation of the Geneva Convention or not, so don't bother bringing that up please.

Thanks ass, i hate NASCAR too. So if being Conservative makes me a NASCAR lover then its safe to say that your a baby killer. Make sense? of course not. And we do question. I bet almost all Republicans or Conservatives can name one thing that they dont agree with Bush on. For me its how he wanted to make illegals legal. Bet you cant do the same with Clinton. And purely saying, i didnt agree with the way he "handled" his interns does not constitute any important policy. I can think of one thing already that i didnt agree with William on.

And i didnt say the French arent good people i just said i dont like them, and before your play the bigotry card, im part French so get off my case.

You being part french has no bearing on the issue. You generalize the entire French nation when you say you don't like them. And I highly doubt you know even the number of people in France, let alone having a non-prejudiced reason for disliking all of them.

What?? Its a quite simple concept, its the same thing, either way your funding someone or driving someone to do it with cash, your paying for an innocent civillians murder either way. Now if your saying it matters and its not a problem if there FUNDING IT as long as there not REWARDING the attack then i'd have to say that you indeed are supporting the murders.

There is a difference...

Fund: To give money so something can be accomplished.

Reward: To give money AFTER something has been accomplished.

Saying that there is a difference does not mean that it is being supported.

Cowmisfit, I must congratulate you on your complete misinterpretation of my statement.

The original post mentioned suicide bombers somehow not turning up to claim the payment offered for their attacks... because if you were to attack someone in a suicide-bomber stylee, obviously you'd be somewhat dead. I was suggesting perhaps the 25,000 (currency unknown) was to actually pay for the bomb (an integral part in the whole "suicide bomber" concept, wouldn't you say?)

I'm struggling to understand how you got the impression that I support suicide bombing from that.

EDIT: reworded the last sentence Confused

Keep it up champ. You're just digging deeper and deeper. You implied absolutely no such thing. And I quote:

There is nothing there that even remotely implies that you are referring to the government. Oh, and yes, you can hate something that you are.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The French government probably doesn't hate you; it doesn't help them any and they have no grounds to do so. Nor is it likely that most of the French people hate you. What astounds me is how you can say how much you dislike them, imply their government (without ACTUALLY implying it), and have the audacity to say:

Nice to see you editing your posts, too. What may be new information to you, I know about you only what you allow me to know. You said you don't like the French. You also said you didn't like them because they didn't like you. You generalized their nation prejudicedly (because you DID NOT say their government), and thus you are a bigot. It's not my fault you decided to post here, champ and reveal this unsympathetic and disgraceful side of yourself. Especially after your little tirades about capital punishment.
