war not going too well
Calum:
i actually saw on another forum where an american had said that because he had read a few reports that the war wasn't going well, he was now unable to believe any reports. his justification was that the US were obviously winning with no problems whatever and so he felt that any reports to the contrary must be untrue. and as for this:
quote:Originally posted by Stryker:
the commander was full of shit. They are told to give a warning (a sign, or verbally), and if they dont stop then shoot. They are not instructed to give warning shots. It's too bad that they died, very sad indeed. But they were in the wrong and they had it coming. If someone tells you to stop, and they are holding guns being backed up by an army, you stop. This was one of the few just killing of civilians. There's no way to tell who or what was in that trick. They could have had a bomb in there. And if they did find a bomb, everyone would shut up about the event and be happy. Bah. i'm done, need food.

i have absolutely no comment to make about this entire quote. this is the typical attitude that i see in the foreign actions of the USA. this is the reason they are at war, and this is the reason they will attack Syria and Iran next (mark my words, six months to a year of propaganda from now, you'll be seeing a lot of people on these forums calling for all out war on those countries too). If you can't see why i am disgusted with Siplus' comments then there really is nothing i can say to explain it to you.

Oh, there's no doubt in my mind we'll go to war with Iran. After all, it's part of Bush's "Axis of Evil." I remember back when the US was attacking Afghanistan some people were saying "I bet Bush will go after Iraq next!" And I was like, "Come on, what does Iraq have to do with 9/11? Bush may not be my favorite president, but he would never do something so reckless! Stop making these wild conjectures." Oh well.
However, Iran would be a tougher target. The terrain is worse there and the Iranians are better equipped.
As for Syria, check out this article:

Also, check out this web site:
Iraq Body Count
Apparently the total number of Iraqi civilians directly killed by the US and its allies is at least 500 so far. And how long has this war been going on? 3 weeks?
Boy, "shock and awe" sure does suck if you're the receiving end!

Those of you who are against the war can always sign this declaration or petition if you prefer. This is a petition that Richard Stallman also promotes and encourages in his home page.
