I want him to die too. But that's not American enough for Israel-firsters.
To: Yakboy
...That is, any hostile act upon the USA.
I'm not interested in understanding the enemy, I want him to simply not exist. I will support my nation in any endevour that promotes this end result.

This is a lie. The pictures were taken after the destruction from Sept. 11/01. That story has no substantiation and in fact has been passed around on anti-Semitic sites.

Your a) and b) are non-sensical.

Incredible! The man has been taking polls. Changed his tune from "kill until the infidel swears allegience to Allah."Shades of X42. Has anybody checked the whereabouts of Dick Morris?
To: madrussian
Waiting for a spin of the Israel-firsters of their "it had nothing to do with Israel". Right: The demon says jump; madrussian says, "how hi, O great Prophet?"
Or, do you just jump at any opportunity to trash a small country occupying less territory than many US counties? (Which, incidentally, happens to be the ONLY civilized country in the entire Middle East.)

Again, Osama admits guilt:"``Our terrorism against the United States is worthy of praise to deter the oppressor so that America stop its support for Israel, which is killing our children,'' the bearded, Saudi-born fugitive said."
1. He calls it "our" terrorism.
2. He claims to know the purpose.
3. Being weakened, he no longer calls the US "occupation" of Arabia the motivation, but now appeals to a broader and more basic "reason," the existence of the state of Israel.

wouldn't you think they are afraid that Americans may think that they were misguided in their unconditional support of Israel and may reconsider? In your dreams, pal.
To: teenager
You might want to ask that question to Subramerican. By his own admission he was cheering for Argentina. Why don't you ask him yourself?
I take your screen-name as some sort of admission of naiveté so I won't be too hard on you. My point was that in international disputes not involving the United States, us* Americans are free to choose sides. My support of Great Britain during the Falklands War was based upon the morality of the situation as I saw it, rather than some allegiance to a foreign power as others might suggest here.

* Darn. There I go again.

It's relevant to Israel-firster, judging from their denials before. If you are observant, they'll spin any situation to favor their cause. You were the one who posted the original article, not some mythical "Israel-firster." You were also the one who cited bin Laden's grievances as reason to change our policies toward Israel.
You are spinning faster than anyone else around here.
To: madrussian
"There are 3 walks: American, muslim and Israeli. I walk the American one." The way you keep saying that, it's almost as if you think you can convince anyone of it.

Yes, if our country doesn't deserve to be attacked by the bastard -- and we don't -- then the only fault of our country and it's forereign policy is that we didn't appease the bastard enough. That is the argument that some here on this thread make. The argument is actually different. You know that if you walk at night in a bad neighborhood, you can get mugged. Is that appeasement?
If I don't walk in a bad neighborhood because I may get hurt, that would be appeasement of one sort with small consequence. However, if LE doesn't work in a bad neighborhood because they may get hurt, that would be appeasement of a major kind with serious present and future consequences -- freedom.
That is the argument.
To: Either/Or
Of course I knew you'd say that. The fact that the story has had limited circulation and the fact that it is playing on anti-Semitic sites, and the fact that CNN and other news organizations have NOT retracted the date of the pictures leads me to believe that the 1991 date is a complete fabrication. I can provide the URL of the site which is promoting this false story of 1991 (which in fact, it is claimed, shows the Pals dancing for their hero Hussein in Operation Desert Storm) operated by former members of the Spotlight.

Oh, please. He is just mitigating his damages. His group is already banned in all muslim states, and the only thing he can do to boost his image with them is to blame Israel. Funny how a year ago he made no mention of Israel. I think this is very insightful, and accurate.

All I know is it is from the St. Petersburg Times and I have never seen a retraction. Is the St. Pete Times an anti-semitic publication? Oh please. This stuff has been splashed all over the world, and of course there hasn't been a "retraction" everywhere that lie perched. The debunking of the lie has been widespread and available to all interested parties, though. Which leads me to believe that A: The St. Pete Times didn't find it worth its space to clarify this, or B: that you're a party singularly disinterested in anything conflicting with your pet myth. I tend to think it's B ;).
