Very good Condrad i knew all about it,i had google it before you provided the link.Now who attacked FIRST Afghanistan,US or NATO???Having the link i hope you will answer the question.
You have not answer directly,you and other posters hide behind diverting than answering.I ask you again,did the US attacked FIRST Afghanistan and NATO followed after, YES or NO.Its like extracting a tooth,so painful, from some here, in the forum,than say, Yes this is right.
Am not disputing your facts in this post of yours.Are you disputing the Fact that US attacked first Afghanistan and then NATO followed long after???Am engaged in this dispute with you and some others posters in this thread.
And all of them after Alexander, with their tales between their legs,am sure GWB and Rumsfeld didn't know anything about Afghan history at the time. Why you didn't forwarned them Conrad????
Why you are trying to twist and turn things.My post was in refference what NATO considers an attack,from one country against another,and a terrorist attack on 9/11, according to NATO chapter,at the time,it wasn't an attach,of one country against another.Is considered a crime to be a liberal in USA???. The indisputable fact remains,that US attacked Afghanistan FIRST and NATO followed long after.
Which one is a false statement,just because you cannot face the truth,am not becoming boring,you becoming.Have you got any proof that US,did not start FIRST, its Military Engagement in Afghanistan.????
Reread my post saying"Nato did not declared war on Afghanistan,US did". Do you want to call it WAR or Military Engagement on Afghanistan????,please youself,the point is, US started and not Nato.Some countries,including NATO countries, took part in the operations forming ISAF,long after US forming OEF,and finally on 11/10/2003 Nato assumed the leadership of ISAF.Erroneous statement to you??? Don't think so.-.. 1635 US personel have died in Afghanistan for an unwinnable war.
You failed to say,that US as a leading member of NATO,in a sort of way,demanded from its NATO allies,their support,which all the NATO members obliged.-The NATO did not declared war in Afghanistan,US did.
You post stands correct,with the recent developments,though GWB and his cronies,starting this war,they were claiming publicly,"we'll prevail","we'll crush the terrorists","We'll win over them",etc,etc, etc..When at the time everybody adviced GWB and his cronies "don't do it,nobody has won there" they brushed aside,any such suggestion.Where are they,those people now,especially the super hawk Donald Rumsfeld,to say sorry to the American people,for an unwinnable war,and the loss of life,of so many Americans.
Yes,before i sign in, read the article by Symon Nixon in "World Street Journal" 5 points supporting Greece,under the head line,my own free tranlation,""Don't believe in to Greek myths."
There is no IF, is a MUST,for any country,been near default to pay back the capital loaned,sometimes extented than originally due,from old loans,though sometimes with redused interests rates.The new loans from IMF+ECB to Greece,they have,very much redused interest rates.So not to worried ,if UK loans money to Greece,you'll get your money back,as Greece constantly restracturing its economy with unprecidented cut backs.-Besides if we'll default you have the " Duke of Blunder" in your Royal Court to tell us "We Greeks,screwed it up".
The idea is,they will try their best,to bail out Greece to avoid the "Domino Priscipal". In this morning news, European Central Bank President,Jean-Claude Trichet stated that the ECB is in "Red alert" from now on,trying to prevent the Domino.And the money given to Greece is not charge free,ECB and IMF will get their money back,with a low interest rate.
If you don't know for sure,why then claimed in your 2 previous posts,that she is a man???I you are sure she is a man,report her for having a fake profile.
