You and your ilk are pathetic
Racism is what makes you pathetic. Shared ideals, courage and righteousness are what sets the USA (minus losers like you) and the Turks apart from the rest.
And now, I'll declare that I have had enough of your cowardly and unamerican conversation.

The home of the brave, and also home to a few treacherous chickens like you and the rest of your pitiful, ignorant, and cowardly following here on this thread. I pretty much have respected your differing opinions, and on more than one occassion you've made me thing/research, etc. But you've kinda lit off a bit in this thread, to put it mildly. Maybe too many people ganging up on you? Bad hair day? I must go smoke now, stress you know, lol...

Notice that when you read these assertions that we "helped" or "worked with" Bin Laden, it is always in the form of a bald assertion, without specifics or documentation. You do present what appears to be an accurate assessment Bin Laden's lack of DIRECT involvement with the US in the Afghanistan/Soviet war days, but thats certainly not the whole picture, is it? And to say that Bin Laden never led anyone? He most certainly did lead his own band of Arab "freedom fighters", albeit more on making roads and camps and caves in the war with the Soviets.
And now lets be even more accurate, and rather than dismiss totally any US/CIA involvement with the now deemed Afghan terrorists, lets state for the record that some of the Afghan "freedom fighters" the US aided against the Soviets, are now some of the same people we call "terrorists."
If you can stomach this interview of Bin Laden from a few years ago by Robert Fisk of "The Nation", this paragraph is interesting:
I doubt if Osama bin Laden understands the hierarchy of US hate figures--or whether he would care if he did. The Afghan conflict against the Soviets molded him, taught him the meaning of his religion, made him think. "What I lived in two years there," he told me, "I could not have lived in a hundred years elsewhere." When he brought his 9,000 Arab fighters to support the Afghans in their conflict against the Soviet occupation army, hacking out the mountain trails with his construction equipment, building hospitals and arms dumps, he became a war hero. Some of his current Afghan fellow fighters had been trained earlier by the CIA in the very camps that were the target of the recent US missiles--but whereas they had been called camps for "freedom fighters" when US agents set them up in the early eighties, now they had become camps for "terrorists." He and his comrades never saw "evidence of American help" in Afghanistan, he told me, but he must have been aware of the CIA's presence.

LOL! You're funny :^D
Ignorant good for nothings who will use anyones misery to turn the tide in favor of their queer agendae infuriate me. Others who call me scum, again out of ignorance, even when we have been loyal to each other in the face of grave dangers for the past fifty years, piss me off to no end.
We are here because of ignorance, whether it be in the west or the east. Ignorance and terror have no race, religion, color, or creed.

Thanks to you for your excellent info. The more pieces we throw on the table, the better the chance that we can all together and try to interpret what is really going on.
To: Stultis
I am glad you pointed this out. Even knowing what Bin Laden became, I would still make the decision to arm him and his gang against the Soviet Communists. It really was no different than WWII. We teamed with Stalin to get rid of Hitler then had to take on the Soviets. It probably will always be that way. You must eliminate the greater evil then move to the lesser evil.
To: Dialup Llama
Yes, LOL! A large part of all of this is probably to put the Saudis out of business or at least force them to play along with the modern world.
To: a_Turk
You and your friends on this thread have fallen for the USSR bullshit to break up NATO And now picked up by our EU "allies" to promote their own socialist agenda.
EU refusing to recognize terrorist groups
Odd, isn't it, that a double standard is employed by the EU when dealing with terrorists. They're against one group, but if another group does the same thing, they refuse to even freeze financial assets. Why? Who knows. Probably too many politicians on the dole.

That is why we Americans have the right to bear arms Not if those who support the EU have their way. Sorry, can't have it both ways with the EU and their socialistic plans. It's either all the way or nothing. A "little" quickly becomes more and more and more. Thankfuly the US seems to be going through a wake-up call after 9-11. Hopefully we won't go asleep again.

the jury is still out about which side our "ally" Turkey will take when push comes to shove What jury? The jury representing probably 10% of the population? Maybe in your mind, but not in the majority.

This Pericles of yours must be impressive enough to have had himslef branded into your psyche. I am not him but I hope to have the same impact on you and others that he had. I wonder if you consider my posts lies because you favored causes of the Chechens, the Bosnian Muslims and Albanians no longer have the support of the American people.
Dare you to prove my sources false.

All I have to say to you is you better not let your anti-American sentiments show again.
American support for the Bosnian and Kosovar Muslims is evident in her participation in peacekeeping operations there. And her policy toward Russia is made clear by her support for Georgia, and the central asian Turkic states.
Bye Pericles!
