I said ONE of the most corrupt.

Don't knock me Jester, i am one of the few British who defend America and troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I would not take it personally or be insulted if you said that the British Police Force was corrupt.

The Central Intelligence Agency is a civilian Intelligence Agency of the United States Government.

It's primary function is collecting and analyzing imformation about foriegn governments.

Because you just seem to blame any American administration for conflict around the world. Or am i mis-reading you?

The only people besieging your borders are Mexicans, and where are your troops? Ten thousand miles away from the Mexican border!

Jester;1017968 wrote: Oh yeah, I seem to recall state sponsors in the fly aircraft into world trade centers sort of thingYou're talking about all those Saudis? I don't remember anyone claiming they were State Sponsored. If they had been I'm sure it would have been part of the reason for attacking some country or other. Though not, for some reason, Saudi Arabia.

The only reason I saw used as an excuse for attacking Afghanistan was that they refused to hand over Osama bin Laden for questioning. Was there anything else?

The question of Iraqi sponsorship never even tried to get off the ground. Are you going to offer that, seven years too late?

It's the War On Terrorism, remember? Not the War On State Sponsors Of Terrorism. Else you might have had to invade North Korea and you couldn't.

Hey if I were president of the united states when those towers came crashing down Iran would be a glass parking lot, Pakistan would be on its knees, Saudi would be wondering when we were coming and Syria would be owned by Israel.

Iraq would be settling its own issues without ever being liberated. I would have done all this in less than two years and the american economy would be booming while we rebuilt our arsenals.

Russia, the UK, china, or any other country friend or foe that tried to stop me would get a boot up there hiney in the process.

You think I give one flying fling of a dirt clod about Saddams right to a decent execution? I'd have set him on his knees and capped his begging body with my colt 45 in the back of his head making sure he was never filmed by anyone. NO trial no nothing. Id have done the same to Osama too, an dlet the birds of the air have his eyes, no burial for either, anyone who touched his body would get the same thing.

I dont give one flying fling about international courts or international law,or any country that threatens us in any way, and I dont care what you or any other bleeding heart socialist liberal says about that either.

They can kiss the end of my M4. It seems to me the only dimplomacy Iran, Syria, Saudi, and some other countries do see is us kicking the crap out of them. It's high time we talked less and blew more of them nasty terrorists up.

And Im not apologizing for it anymore.


Cup of tea anyone?

It's an old established principle of investigation that dates back to before Christ. Who benefits?

What I said was that Reagan's administration kept the Iraqi armed forces supplied with sufficient Soviet spare parts through the eighties to stay effective in the field, and that Reagan's administration supplied intelligence to Baghdad in the form of intercepts and satellite indications of movements in Iran. I described that as Reagan and Saddam sleeping with each other. Do you seriously think any of it's untrue?

What you're describing is reaction, and 9/11 as blowback.

Thank Christ the US is on its way to its knees and all this underhand braggadocio can finally be consigned to the lurid pages of Byzantine political history. Onward and upward, it's a brave new world on the horizon and at last it doesn't include US domination suppressing the legitimate aspirations of the remaining 95% of humanity.

I know full well that Saddam was supplied by America although i still believe that Iraq was always the aggressor. It has rather turned round to bite us on the bum now.

Commit genocide = meet a horrid death.

No foreign entity "made" or "trapped" him into doing that against the Kurds, (Are you listening spot?) therefore the punishment indeed fit the crime.

As to the feelings of disgust that many of the previous posters have expressed......that is the desired result of making such affairs fully public. The deterrent effect as you will. Bet you wouldn't want to meet YOUR end in such a fashion. Think about it.


So why have we not invaded Turkey yet - their record against the Kurds is far worse than Saddam's ever was!

Do a Google on the Duke of Cumberland - you're echoing his philosophy exactly.

oscar;1017829 wrote: So where exactly did the gas come from?

I have had many a debate with my turkish pals about the whole Turkish empire bit but have never heard them speak of killing Kurds. If it were true, why didn't they slaughter them as soon as they came over the turkish border?

Why did the Kurds feel it was safe to flee to Turkey? I will ask them tomorrow when i see them to see what they say.

Again, what was the whole Iraq/Iran war, if not aggression by Saddam?


Look up the PKK and the fifty thousand Kurds killed by the Turkish government in the last twenty years.

Having travelled through central and eastern Turkey and talked to the locals even the Turks I spoke to admitted it was unjustified.

I wish now that we could turn back the clocks and not have sent any help to europe during WW2- all the ungratefulness is just too much to take.

Kinda pisses me off. Most brits here seem to think that the US just needs to pack up go home and stay out of your biz, and I so wish we could do that, wipe our feet on Diego Gracia on the way out and never return for anything.

Yer on yer own, have a nice day.:-3


Jester, i can see you were pissed when i said the CIA was corrupt. Sorry but any organisation that has power -- is corrupt -- we have it here as well, just different organisations, as Spot would be able to explain better than myself.

It's shame you feel us Brits are ungrateful. It's a shame you haven't read posts going back over the past months as you would see that i often get slated for defending America. If you feel like this now, then it is no different to how i have felt when everything that i was brought up to believe in, is slated on here when it comes to America.

Unfortunately, we have different senses of humour between the pond and very often something that is said in jest is taking all out of context and as a personal attack on America.

I won't bore you with the details but i come from a long family war history as does my husband. Both our family members fought alongside American troops. They also died alongside American troops.

During WW11 my maternal grandmother was fortunate to have a village pub where a US and Canadian airbase was situated. Friends were bonded there that still exist today, that's why i often defend America. It's a family thing.

However, if anyone attacks my country, my Prime Minister, my Queen, my daggers come out.

Frankly Jester, i may not be the worlds greatest politician, but i do know that if a situation ever came about where Britain was on it's own without America, we would do what we have always done. We are quite happy to go to any war without America behind us, just as you can go to war without us behind you. We don't give a damn.

This country has never cow towed to any country and we never will. Yes, we might be some pissy little island in the Atlantic in your eyes but in the event of a ww111 i know who i'd put my money on.

America would be the first country to get nuked. That is without doubt due to the enemies that America has created post war.

It might not be a case of us going it alone next time round, it could be that your on your own next time round. Especially if your country is dumb enough to vote a marxist white rascist into the Whitehouse. God help America, because you'll need every bit of help you can get.

I will continue to defend America where i feel it's right for other FG friends on here who don't talk like you.
