If you've been following the news at all closely lately, you know that there are widely varying accounts of the recent battle in the Shah-i-Kot valley. The Pentagon claims it was a great success, but Bush says there will be a lot more fighting in Afghanistan. Afghan allies of the U.S. claim many of the enemy fighters escaped. Also, there is a question about the composition of the forces on the other side. Are they Taliban and Al Qaeda "holdouts," or are they Afghans who resent the U.S. terror bombing and imperialist occupation of their country? Inquiring minds want to know! It's difficult to know what is really taking place on the ground in Afhganistan, given the fog of secrecy and disinformation from the U.S. military. Also, there's a serious prospect of widening involvement, with Bush rattling his nuclear sabers for an attack on Iraq. So here's your chance to vote on the subject, and express your opinion. Will the U.S. lose this war? Does it face protracted guerilla warfare in Afghanistan? What happens if the U.S. attacks Iraq-- will all hell break loose?
 
The Russians are probably having a good laugh right now, they got bogged down in Afghanistan for 10 years and withdrew in failure, and those soldiers were bloody happy to cross the boarder back into their own country.
 
Yeah, we've been at it for five months now and let me think...have we broken a dozen yet, in terms of soldiers killed in combat? Maybe we have, although I'm pretty sure the total is not over twenty.

We're going to lose. Right.

As far as Bush nuking anyone, that's your wet dream. If you're dumb enough to think...

Nevermind...you are.
 
Like a bad penny . . .

Ah yes, Problem Child, I figured you'd show up. How the fuck ya doin'? I imagine Miles will be following along before long. Yes, the U.S. forces have had very few casualties so far. That's because the fighting on the ground has been done mainly by indigenous proxy forces (i.e., hired mercenaries). But by most accounts, the Afghan "alllies" proved notoriously unreliable in the recent battle near Gardez, with most of them running away as soon as they came under fire. As the guerilla war drags on, more and more U.S. ground troops will be needed. (Thomas Freidman had a column in the NYT a few days ago along those lines.) Over time, U.S. casualties will mount-- as will protests against the war here in the U.S.

Well part of your problem is relying on the NY Times for news. And you look so very anxious for the there to be causalities. It must be a slow fund raising year for liberals. I guess if a few GI's die you can kick up the ole "Hell no we want go" fund raiser.

Face it the US is kicking ass and there is a whole lot of ass left to kick. There will be US deaths, but try not to look so damn smug about it.
 
What? You don't like the Grey Lady?

Well, actually, I don't rely completely on the NYT for news. I supplement it with wsws.org, the Guardian (U.K.), Cursor.org, and other sources. But what's wrong with the NYT as a source of news, pray tell? What do you think is better? The WSJ, perchance? Hmmm?
:D

As for U.S. casualties, I don't want any American boys (or girls) to die-- I want them all brought home immediately. It's hawks like YOU who want American troops to fight and die in the bleak, desolate landscape of Central Asia.
:(
 
Wrong

"It's hawks like YOU who want American troops to fight and die in the bleak, desolate landscape of Central Asia. "


Last time I looked it was the radicals being harbored by the Taliban that flew 3 US jets into US property, killing close to 5,000 people. What I would have chosen was that it never happened.

But the fucked up beliefs of these radicals started a war. Now I want them dead. If they are dead, they can't kill anymore innocents. So fuck the radical’s beliefs or motivations. I do wish I was younger so I could go kill the bastards. I want them so dead that there families forget what the war was all about, that they will thank the allies for freeing them of the stupidity of radicalism and terror.

I would like to raise a family without worrying about going to public place and suffering the fate of a radical suicide bomber at the mall, beach, Disney World, etc....

Coming home without killing the radicals and enough of their leaders will be counter productive. The US didn't just do a little damage to Imperial Japan or Nazi Germany and walk away. We and our Allies destroyed these radical countries ability to wage war. Then dictated how they could rejoin the civilized world.

That is the example to follow, destroy the radical's supporters and their ability to wage war against you and your family. Because they will slit your throat and video tape it for their blood thirsty delight, as quickly as they would a Special Forces solider. They want you dead, because you are an American. Get use to it, they want you dead, along with your sister, mother, if you are old enough to have any children (I doubt it judging from your spineless position) they want them dead too. They could care less if you wanted the troops out of the Middle East.

REDWAVE your name speaks volumes about your intention towards America and freedom loving people. Oh by the way, Gorby denounced communism last week, or did you not pick up on it in the Clinton rag NYT.
I read it in the Wall Street Journal.
 
You got the wrong people

Guess again, clit licker-- the Afghan peasants murdered by the U.S. terror bombing campaign were not responsible for the WTC attack. The hijackers were mainly Saudi nationals-- and the Bush regime flew a whole planeload of Saudis out of the U.S. back home right after 9/11. Hmm, sort of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Re my intentions toward America and freedom, I think I've made them clear. I want to liberate the American workers, and all the oppressed, from the capitalist ruling class, and establish true freedom for the first time in history.
 
Cuba Awaits You

Go to Cuba; don't come around here liberating me, thank you very much. I am very fond of capitalism, if you ever earn over minimum wage you will also enjoy capitalism.

Enough pearls before swine tonight have been thrown tonight for my taste. So good night buzz killer. :rolleyes:

Amen give me capitalism any day and i have rarely made over minimum wage.

If you don't like capitalism go to a third world country or a communist country.

Capitalism is a good thing, in my opinion

did Clintons delude you that bad that you see capitalism as evil.

Capitalism is what makes america and north america a free world.
 
I don't mind

That's all right, clit licker, I don't mind casting pearls before swine. I'm very generous with my pearls of wisdom!
;)

And I earn well over minimum wage, thank you-- but I still say capitlaism sucks!

Get real, Todd-- capitalism and democracy are antithetical. Capitalism involves the concentration of vast wealth in a few hands, and the impoverishment and immiseration of the great majority.

Todd I want to thank you for your response. With friends like that red asshole, who needs enemies? Have these people not figured out that capitalism is what makes things run? Without good jobs this fucked up idealist couldn’t sit at the school library and make these ignorant statements.

they like dashole slogans like "you don't professionalize unless you federalize" et al.

In a Capitalist republic everyone has an equal oportunity to get rich and have thier own wealth.

In a capitalistic republic you make wealth by making wise decsions and choices

In a capitalistic republic you make wealth by getting up off your ass and putting into a plan of action of goals.

In the society that red would like everyone would all be the same there would be no individualism, there would be no idividual wealth, there would be no free will, all your decisions are made for you, everything is given to you on a silver platter and you are not responsible for your own decisions.

Amen! Have you checked out Neal Boortz? I think you would really like him. Red plague should take a little time to listen and get an education.

Todd have a great weekend!
 
yes I have seen boorttz I post from his site at least once a week.

they blame him for all my evil ways

if only they knew i was proindivdual long before boortz came near my life

a good weekend to you as well
 
Socialism/communism is the ultimate tyranny. When you give a government control of the means of production, they can keep people from making a living. If you distrust government you should distrust a system that gives that much control to the government.

Did anyone ever see a successful socialist/communist economy?
 
A time ago, I took an oath protecting the Constitution against all enemies...foreign and domestic. I never waivered from that oath and this thread enforces my resolve. The World will crush the terrorist threat with the United States. I want any piece of work that threatens my kids, or their kids future obliterated! If the war protracts, I'll go and do what I can to put a forty millimeter round in someone's hole. I will fight in our streets if it is to be. The funny thing is, that I'll be stepping over corpses of the people that kissed the terrorist's ass, and were a mouthpiece for the vermin.
This World will not be able to go forward until we stop and clean the terrorist shit from our boots! :D

Most of Europe?

Fascism on the rise

Lost cause's post displays the fascist mentality which currently is far too common in this country.

Down With Fascist Pigs!

I don't like the choices in your poll

I'm not voting this poll, cause my answer's not there. I hate war, I hate the Bush Administration......but more then that, I hate the Taliban and the Al-Qaeda terroist network. Yea, I know we're killing citizens over there, but they were busy getting killed by those bastards that attacked us YEARS before 9-11. We have to do what we gotta do, whether it's right or wrong. I have to back the prez whether I like him personally or not.

This war is gonna get nasty, and I don't like that one bit.....but I don't have any better solutions than our dear government.

I'm not even getting into the capitilism issue here.....

REDWAVE truly must be the waste that dribbled down his mothers ass

Even posting on this thread makes me ill but how can one not, but before I address this senseless waste of human flesh called redwave, I must say this .....

Aussie Worm Shame on you! You're nation lost people as well that day and for you even to jest in your comments makes you a wanker, enough said.

Now redwave ..... " It's difficult to know what is really taking place on the ground in Afhganistan, given the fog of secrecy and disinformation from the U.S. military. "
Who the fuck are you to need to know what they're doing? One of the reasons we lose too many of our own is because we as a nation have let the media become not only Big Brother but also tell all and show all. And knowing that we have those such as yourself that feel free to sit back safe and worm and shoot your mouth off while others are defending your right to do so that our forfathers faught and died to give you and I, it's about damn time we let them do their duties without anyone second guessing them.
" Over time, U.S. casualties will mount-- as will protests against the war here in the U.S. "
Not only do our Nations Leaders know this as do we, each and everyone of our Servicemen know that. Is your ass over there on the line redwave? No, so shut the fuck up about that.
" I want to liberate the American workers, and all the oppressed, from the capitalist ruling class, and establish true freedom for the first time in history. "
Hey redwave I'm an oppressed American worker with bills to pay and a family to feed, will you give me some of your "higher than minimum wage" earnings to me and liberate me? No, I don't think you will. So shut the fuck up about that too.

Did you know anyone that parished that day redwave? Were any of them family members? Have you ever done anything for your community to give back such as being a Firefighter or Police Officer, either paid or volunteer? Do you have even the slightest idea what it's like to go into a structure knowing you may be hurt or worse, and seeing everyone else including rodents and roach's running past trying to get out, but still you do it for your fellow man? If not I only have five words to express to you, then shut the fuck up.

I can only hope that nothing like this ever comes upon American soil or any Nations soil ever again, but if it should, then I beg the forces to be to make sure only one person is present, that if it be a jet, a car, a brick or a bullet, that you're that one person and at your funeral I want you to know that I'll try to be there among your family who will morn your tragic loss, and wearing the Flag of my Nation I'll proudly step up as they lower your sorry ass into the ground, unzip and piss on you.

Oh yea, have a nice day
 
Poor Moonwolf

Moonwolf, you strike me as a deeply conflicted woman. Let me give you a tip-- you don't have to do anything but die. And chances are you can put that off for a while.

I'm conflicted? Let's see here:

Main Entry: 2con·flict
Pronunciation: k&n-'flikt, 'kän-"
Function: intransitive verb
Date: 15th century
1 archaic : to contend in warfare
2 : to show antagonism or irreconcilability

Hmmmm, guess I'm not the only one.
