its not cold blood.
You're evil.
Just in case your post gets pulled, I want all to see what you said. How HORRIBLE is that statement????? WHY did you feel the need for that?
You're right, and that quote, 'We showed weakness, and weak people are beaten,' should resonate in the US. Hello, Liberals everywhere and JF..ing Kerry. Muslim monsters are only interested in sitting down to chat after they've blown up all you hold dear and plan to move on to the next school, town, country. They shoot you in the back as they run out the door. There's no compromise possible. Total defeat is necessary, whatever that takes.
Do tell. What IS cold blood if THIS wasn't?
Very good speech!
I'm waiting for an answer, as I'm sure many others are. If this wasn't cold blood, WHAT IS?
That's one heck of a speech.
I'm with you all the way on Fallujah's continued existence on earth. The only question is why?
Chechnyans got nowhere until Russian communism was overthrown. Their scale of terror was much lower. The Russian police state-KGB kept these eternal pests in their place. Their role was limited to display of colorful folkloric costumes in "Soviet Life"
"I think history will look back on this tragedy as a pivotal event in the war on terror. Putin will now be firmly behind Bush, and the Russians will be absolutely ruthless when it comes to dealing with the jihadists.
"
I think as far as terrorism is concerned, the us and russia have been on the same page for a long time. Other differences between the countries, such as economics, geopolitics (meaning the US integrating former SSR;s and warsaw pact members into NATO), and the invasion of Iraq (which the bulk of the world believes was a secular despotic government that did not support AQ) are the major issues between the US and russia. The US has always made sympathetic notes when russia goes and razes villages or whatever in chechnya.
I hope that he will behind Bush, but from his statement it was caused by the fall of the Soviet Union, I'm more afraid that he will turn back fully to communism. He already rules somewhat with an iron fist and loose freedoms for the people. This might push him over the edge in the wrong direction.
"As far as I can tell it exists because GWBush cannot handle many (any?) American combat deaths and still get re-elected."
My take on this is different....it is because the US cannot take decisive action against civilian areas due to the media's complete opposition to US policy in iraq and its willingness to show the most inflamatory images to the world, and as a corrolary the US unwillingness to suffer the consequences of such images being publicized.
the blood that runs through your pc veins. thats what.
russia isnt our ally in the war on terror, they are our enemy. americans died because of the policies and popular opinions of that trash nation. not with us = against us. more of those who are against us that die the better.
The only way Israel will be around in 30 years will be due to divine intervention. As for Mohammedanism, it will get nuked up, use nukes, then be obliterated starting with Mecca and Tehran. The Iranians have the most power. They have 70 million population and sponsor terror world wide. If they get nukes it will be even worse. The only way they don't get nukes is GWBush wins big enough for the US and/or Israel to take direct action.
I don't disagree. If the media were neutral then America could tolerate combat deaths and a cleansing of Falluja terrorists. But a neutral media is in the past. I'm amazed conservatives win any elections. They do only because conservatism is watered down from what it used to be.
"I'm amazed conservatives win any elections."
Isn't it amazing? As you alluded, today's republicans are arguably more liberal than 1960's democrats, though.
I wonder how it would be if we were still living in a 1990-style information age (tv and print media only, no fox)?
I think you are missing a careful analysis of Putin's options. What are they?
Putin's problem is that unlike Bush who already had Osama and Saddam in his cross-hairs, Putin doesn't have a target, except the Chechen Islamists that he already is at war with.
The investigation might turn up a target. Syria and Iran do need to be dealt with. And Egypt's culture needs to be changed to. Whether Putin want's to tackle one of those or support the U.S. and let us do it, remainst to be seen.
You don't know me well.
Well, at least you came back to answer me. I'll give ya that much.
When does the bombing start?
