    Honestly, you have to be taking the piss. You either drunk whilst writing this or well, I'll leave it at that.

    Where is the proof for funding of arms?????

    And as for Iran providing arms, I think the article below answers it for all of usl.

    Forums are all about what you are doing right now and that is speaking you mind and exchanging opinions/ideas. If this is a bad thing than what the hell are you doing here???

    As for prowling, I really do think you're reading too much into it.
    Post something that another reader will diagree with than you're going to get a response. Simple as that.

    So far the US government has failed to produce the evidence they said the would produce shortly after 9/11. Seven years latter we are still waiting. Personally i think Bin Laden will never be captured alive. He will either never be captured of killed and buried somewhere in secret. But one thing that wont bee happening. There will be no trial. And if I'm wrong on this someone please point me in the direction of the evidence.

    I hear what you're saying man. Noones country is perfect. Like I said before though, Nobody ever rememebrs when the US helps people
    Just stop the killing/bombing, that's all we ask for.

    I serve on behalf of the positive. I have a brain, I think for myself, trust me I don't agree with everything my country does
    I hear you and I've said it before and that is I don't blame the soldiers. I blame the leaders/policy makers. Yours and mine.

    All a citizen can hope for is that soldiers conduct themselves in a respectable/humane manner. And like yourself I'm sure most do but in the fog of war some nasty shit always happens. Wars bring out the most depraved in man and that's why I am totally against them.

    But rememeber your government is invloved in this also
    Don't think for a second that our government gets a free pass from all this because they don't.

    There is no point in arguing about this, especialy because you guys have totally twisted the title of this thread. You guys always seem to be prowling around the site waiting to pounce on these types of threads so you can speak your mind and feel better about yourself
    The thread is about supporting our troops and that's what I'm doing. I'm asking that they be sent home asap.

    Forums are all about what you are doing right now and that is speaking you mind and exchanging opinions/ideas. If this is a bad thing than what the hell are you doing here???

    Re: support the troops

    For the ones who are supportive, the servicemembers appreciate this gesture. They don't seek it by any means, they are just doing a job. When the people of our country are supportive of us it means a lot. It sucks being put somewher in the middle of nowhere, for 6-15 months at a time. the ultimate payoff is seeing the progress.

    See these people who protest are the same who would have been protesting during the conflict i Kosovo, but if you would have been at the same Kosovo independence day celebration that i was at out here.( alot of the contractor are Albanian) you would see how happy these people are that the coaliton and US stepped in to allow this to happen. I heard USA USA USA over and over and over by all of these Albanians. But everyone knows how evil the united states is, and what was done in Kosovo was a crime committed by the States. This should have never happened they had no right to do so blah blah blah whatever...( or at least thats what they would have been saying at the time)

    Back on track. the support is appreciated, and as jacked up as our government is, I still love my country ( even though it is shit according to some people) hope this conflict's positive outcome is what makes news( but I know better than that)

    Where have I stated you being a fool?

    What I have stated is the obvious and that is the US army has not been dispatched overseas to bring about love and peace.

    Your government are a bunch of liars/criminals, blame them for lying to you and the world.
    Blame them for the thousands of US serviceman killed and injured.
    Blame them for the suicides that are being committed by returned marines.
    Blame them for putting you in harms way.
    Blame them for turning your country into shit.


    I am getting my info from US soldiers who have served/witnessd been a part of these criminal acts.




    Support the troops = Bring them home
    I hear what you're saying man. Noones country is perfect. Like I said before though, Nobody ever rememebrs when the US helps people( which is 10x more than any other country) All people ever do is point out the negative. I serve on behalf of the positive. I have a brain, I think for myself, trust me I don't agree with everything my country does. we get in these arguments all the time at work. We aren't all cowboys out killing people. We agree to disagree half the time But rememeber your government is invloved in this also. I've hung out with some Aussies and Kiwi's since I have been over here. They would probably take offense to people saying the thinga that you guys have said about Service memebers also. They aren't ignorant or brainwashed either. There is no point in arguing about this, especialy because you guys have totally twisted the title of this thread. You guys always seem to be prowling around the site waiting to pounce on these types of threads so you can speak your mind and feel better about yourself. or whatever. thats fine, but your agenda has take away from the idea that this thread is about. as it usually does. I don't typically get invloved inthese political fiascos, but this one kind of hit home. Believe what you want, and I will believe what i want want. There's no point in trying to change each others thought process. You can keep insulting people and what not, its not going to have an effect on anything. i just hope for your sake that you're right, because if these radicals get there way life as we know it will be close to unliveable. But what do I know, I am totally spoon fed evrything I have said and I can't think for myself.

    Back to the thread title. You don't have to support the war, or the troops. Just don't insult them for what they do. They aren't idiots (well at least most of them aren't) As much as you holier than though types like to deny it, they are just like you, trying to make a living. The aren't all poor , or crazed lunatics with guns either. They made personal choice, something they believe in. To belittle them for this decision is tastless on oyur part. But thats your right.

    You talk about me being a fool for Propoganda, take a look at yourself. At least ihave seen this place with my own eyes. Not through a TV or magazine.

    ...any of the following acts committed withintent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:




    Just remember,

    You are not killing in my name. Get that right.

    You are killing thousands of innocent men, woman and children for the profits of big corporation and your criminal leaders.


    Support the troops = bring them home.
    Are you trying ot say that the Taliban represents all Muslims??? Iahve no prblem with Muslims, as a matter of fact I live with some Egyptian Muslims right now Theri compound is joined with mine., But here is the difference, they aren't killing people for the sake of their religion, and their women seem happy because they aren't wearing burkkas and aren't being oppressed just because they are females. like they would be under Taliban rule. So don't pull the " its becasue they are Muslim" bullcrap, that would be the Jesse Jackson approach. please.


    Get this right. THE TALIBAN IS NOT INNOCENT, to think so is delirium. Plus let me Tally up how many peol I have killed.....hmmmm. oh yeah , none. If you actually knew what was going on here you would know that these men, women, and children are being helped by the coalition, not killed. But see you're basing your statements on hear say. Nuff said. You talk about me being a fool for Propoganda, take a look at yourself. At least ihave seen this place with my own eyes. Not through a TV or magazine.

    Dude It's not about bashing the US, it's about warning/concern for her.

    If your friend is really and I mean really drunk, do you tell him to drive or catch a cab?

    Your country used to be the beacon of freedom/justice/equality through the eyes of the world. Now it is pittied.

    The US is being torn apart from the inside by retarded/phycopaths that are running your country.

    You have no one to blame but yourselves.

    So grab a tissue, wipe your eyes and do something about the criminals and unpatriotic/anti american/s that you have running your country.

    Your country has been taken over by criminals.


    I don't know much about Keith Olberman, but he does say it best.
