ttom500: So we are the 500 pound grey back gorilla in the world. Get use to it.

I like most Canadians. But some have been out in the blizzards and snow so long they forgot to thaw out.

We did not plan or execute 911. We did not make the Taliban or alQeada. We did not aid and abet in the killing of 3000 fellow countrymen on 911.

I am totally sick of foreign parties that infer this.


Get used to it? Get stuffed!

Typical United Statsian arrogance.

I never said the US planned or executed 9-11. I've heard and read about that conspiracy theory for years. That's all it is- a conspiracy theory, like "Heroic ghost of Elvis foils bank-robbers again!" or "Alien Baby Found On Mars!"

Half my family is American, by the way. My cousin Earl was an the Pueblo when it was captured by the North Koreans. My granddad John Monks was a US soldier in WWI and trained at For Lewis. So don't give me any crap about "foreign parties".

Chrissy is up to his old tricks again!
You're a Bully!


BTW!
Lack of international recognition

Only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates recognized the Taliban government. The state was not recognised in the UN. Turkmenistan, however, was known to have held official meetings and agreements with Taliban government ministers.

One reason for this lack of international recognition was the Taliban's disregard for international law as demonstrated by their actions on taking power. For example, one of the first acts of the Islamic Emirate was the murder of the former President of Afghanistan, Mohammad Najibullah. Before the Taliban had even taken control of Afghanistan's capital they sent out a squad to arrest, torture, mutilate and murder Najibullah, leaving his body hanging from a street lamp outside the presidential palace for two days. As Najibullah was staying in the United Nations compound in Kabul, this was a violation of international law.[citation needed] As a further example, the Taliban regime was also heavily criticised for the murder of Iranian diplomats in Afghanistan.

gsmonks: We're not discussing the former USSR. It's not part of this thread.

Having presented nor discussed no evidence whatsoever, your credibility is zero. All you've done is come out with childish "nyah, nyah, nyah" non-posts.

You want the evidence or not? Or do you just want to keep playing this silly two-year-old's game?


Your evidence for Iraq war crimes is what? Opinions and research polls? Research polls made by phone call to Iraqi civilians......that are going to say what?

"I had relative or friend killed during the Iraq invasion by the US. Pretty sure it was a American....but it was night.....and it was a rifle shot and I never saw the man with the gun. But am pretty sure it was a American."

Not the Iraqi was under any pressure to claim it was a American.
That his friends and family.....all Islamic were not placing any peer pressure on him. That the alQeada of Iraq torture house in his neigbhorhood were not making it hard to speak honestly. That Sadam henchmen were telling him.....tell them it was American or else your daughter will see us.

You are totally clueless to what went on in Iraq. Unless you were there....you don't know. If you were there, then you should have pressed the issue of any known crimes that you then and there. But you save it for the relative safety of the net.

So are you getting the drift here?

During and following the invasion, you had so many parties in Iraq doing the killing.....only the consciences of the men doing it know for sure.

But you will site your facts, because you wrote music for the documentaries on the Iraq war. I got it..................

Conrad73: October 7, 2001/US and UK.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was established by the UN Security Council at the end of December 2001 to secure Kabul and the surrounding areas. NATO assumed control of ISAF in 2003. ISAF includes troops from 42 countries, with NATO members providing the core of the force.

I never said I hated the US. What I did say was that US foreign policy needs a kick in the groin.

As to my personal ties to the US, the French part of my family, the Ouellettes, have been in North America for over 400 years (the Oullettes were one of the 26 original French families in North America), many of whom moved to Louisiana and the Oregon Territory, which was later divided up into the Washington, Idaho and Oregon states. The Scottish part of my family has been in North America for over 200 years, and the Irish for around as long.

So . . . we were here before there was a United States or a Canada.

In future, I suggest you don't blather on about what you know absolutely nothing about.

We made a noble effort to remove a brutal dictator in Sadam Hussien. Check the UN reports on the his death totals for us some time. The world hates us for it. Fine the world can sniff my rosy behind, all it wants.

President Obama's decision on Afghanistan is against the advice of Joint Chiefs of staff and against Gen Patreus advice. I always thought that military decisions were esentially made by the military and rubber stamped by the President but not this time.
It looks to me that Obama's election is more important than the strategy of depleting the military ability of the Taliban.
If I had lost a loved one in those battlefields I would be sad that their sacrifice was futile. If I were a Taliban main commander, I would wait until the last year of American;s military involvement and then launch a Tet type offensive.
No matter what way its played out it will look like a Taliban victory and an American defeat. This all because President Obama wanted a second term to bombard us with four more years of eloquent pros and empty rhetoric. barf

Now Obama wishes to negoiatw with Taliban.But yet we're killing them too.

This has been a problem with the US for a LONG time. My relatives south of the border and those living north of the 49th get into it all the time. The US has this thing that they can do whatever they want, anywhere else in the world, but when something happens to the US, their response is over-the-top and completely out of proportion to what was done to them.

9-11 is a perfect example. The Iraq war was illegal, was not sanctioned by the UN, and the Bush administration, in their overbearing Pax Americana arrogance, decreed that the UN was "irrelevant" to use their own words. Indeed, the US had no business whatsoever in going into Iraq. Once there, they slaughtered many thousands- soldiers (illegally killed) and civilians alike. And when they attacked Afghanistan, they decreed that the soldiers they killed were "unlawful combatants"- another example of overbearing hubris.

Many Americans, even today, think that the deaths of 3000 (not all of them Americans) during 9-11 somehow justifies illegal invasion and mass-murder. They simply just don't get it.

Make no mistake about my personal position- I was all for the invasion of Afghanistan and the killing of bin Laden, who was a scumbag who read girly magazines and flaunted and made a mockery of Islam while his dupes were doing his bidding and dying in the bargain. Those are two counts where US foreign-policy makers got it right.

But again, so many Americans and America-lovers are so brainwashed that when they hear one thing, another automatically pops into their empty heads, and it comes out in the form of a thoughtless utterance, backed up, not by reason, but by endless thoughtless utterances. That is what really gets my ire up.

The Iraq war had a positive US Congressional vote. The UN had made the US the Iraqi proterate after the first Gulf war...hence our no fly zone operations. Hence our UN presentation on Iraqi WMDs. Which none of the UN believed. Only Sadam had 500 ton of yellow cake ore for dirty nucs. Dirty nucs are a WMD.

Exactly, and sure as hell it is not for American Freedom, you got none - - - The way America is becoming empire, is the way empires are created - - - - Roman empire was created in a similar way, the mechanisms are the same, and every empire rises and then falls - - - - the problem is, that when american empire will fall, it will be another dark age for man kind - - - more so cos of all the biological, nuclear crap in the world, and allot of it, was supplied by states to the countries of dictatorship regimes ( Sadam Husein ) being one of them, and Bush senior supplied it to him, together with British - - - Iraq experts were training in Britain, in usage of those weapons - - - - -

USA is known to have sponsored state acts of terrorism to promote their political agendas, ( For that matter many imperialistic countries do that, but we are talking about the states now), and as I said numerous times, if the leaders, and officials have been caught lying, and also have admitted it on occasions, when they could not deny it any-more - - - - how hard it is to actually assume, and make a logical conclusion that anything they say ( President, Establishment, Comities - - - - ) should be scrutinised, and questioned, and not simply blindly believed - - - - - 9 / 11 is a simple example, where people are concentrated on what they are being told, but don't take the time to look on the situation, - the state sponsored act of terrorism - false flag operation - - - - to see, that there are BIG holes in the official story. Besides 9 / 11 has all the signs of a False Flag operation - - - -

Hey, I've received comments with this mis-naming before!

Let me tell you something about it:

My last name is Monks- that's M-O-N-K-S. It's ostensibly an Irish name. The original was Monaghan, but the English, when they invaded Ireland, "anglicised" Irish names. "Monaghan" became "Monks".

Now, the name Monk is not Irish. It's Jewish. And bigots (the anti-semite variety) sometimes spot my last name and misread it, either by accident, or on purpose, or accidentally on purpose.

So that's what's behind Conrad's usage of the name Monk.

Before any of you go thinking Conrad accidentally mis-spoke, keep in mind that I've dealt with this exact same thing many, many times. It's no accident.

So don't do it again, Conrad. Bad dog!

Oh, I see! Brutal dictator . . . that gives the US the right!

Don't see the US going after lots of other brutal dictators. Care to explain that little bit of hypocrisy and convoluted thinking?

Noble? Killing innocents was noble? Illegally killing Iraq soldiers in a battle that, top US brass at the time said was like "Star Wars vs the Flintstones"? You call that noble? You call the use of depleted uranium noble?

The world does not hate the US. There is a LOT of support for the US in Iran, especially among young university students.

But the US has a nasty habit of betraying and pissing on its supporters.
