Taliban flee battle using children as shields: NATO

1: Yes, it didn't start out that way, the reason that we went into Iraq was over the 12 years of Saddams violation of the Cease Fire Agreement, but now it has become a drawing point for the terrorist, and we don't have to chase them down around the world, they seem quite willing to come there to fight us.
.

Dear Bufflao,

thank you for your response

Oh i must have missed something then, i thought it was to do with the imminent threat Iraq was to the west, its WMD program and alledged links with alqueda as well.

How exactly did saddam flaunt the cease fire agreement??

2: Saddam has been removed as a threat, one of the things we were worried about was the he might eventually forge ties with terrorist organizations and supply them with advanced weaponry, Chemical, Biological, or Nuclear, the sad fact is that we weren't prepared for the al Queda terrorist to come into Iraq and start a war of terrorism, or the fact that Iran and Syria would use the occasion to create a civil war, Both Iran and Syria have a interest in seeing a weak or destroyed Iraq for their own political reasons.
.

Afghanistan was a haven for al Queda, and refused to bring them to justice or throw them out of their country, al Queda was using Afghanistan as a base of operation to carry out terrorist attacks around the world.
.

So they were, buts its a pity that you still have not caught Mullah omah and the bin LID, it looks like you may have let them off the hook there for some reason.

3: I would have to say the attack is not imminent, and yes such a attack would be part of the war on terrorism as Iran does support terrorist, is providing weapons to them and has used them to attack other nations in the area.
.

Well it would certainly enhance the power of the house of saud and their influence on the Sunni Insurgents fighting US forces in Iraq.....

That would really be bad for the allied forces in IRaq having to deal with MORE weapons / money coming from Saudi to the sunnis and weapons from Iran to the shiites.

Maybe the US needs to turn the screws on the house of Saud which is the real international centre of terrorism.

4. It would take out one of the destabilizing influences in the middle east, Iraq is on the path to re-establish the Persian Empire, and become the Babylonian Empire of old.

Sorry buffalo, the above does not make much sense to me.

Nickelodeon, hay dumb ass read the:

Euro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency in 1999 and launched as physical coins and banknotes in 2002. ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro

Check the Fact in the real world, the Euro didn't exist as a real bank note or coin untill Jan. 2002.

From Wikipedia

The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency in 1999 and launched as physical coins and banknotes in 2002. It replaced the former ECU at a ratio of 1:1. the bank noted and coins were not released untill Jan. 2002.

Listen you dumb fuck, if the Euro didnt exist untill 2002 there would be nothing to trade in 1999 read your own fucking link dickhead. accounting currency in 1999

Physical coins and banknotes were introduced in 2002, but the currency was trading in 1999.

You Idiot.

It can be charged to a credit card or written as a check, but coins and notes will not appear until January 1, 2002.

I can only imagine your stupidity centers around the mistaken belief the that Euro was only introduced as an idea in 1999, and then introduced as a currency in 2002. Wrong - The euro was established by the provisions in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty on European Union. The ground was being prepared for the introduction of the Euro as a currency in 1999.

As for:

And at that Saddam was under U.N. sanctions in 1999, and those sanctions dated from 1991, long before the Euro was even dreamed about, and it was the U.N. making the decisions on what currency the oil was sold under.

What the fuck does that have to do with it? The Iraqi government switched all oil trades from the US Dollar to the Euro in the fall of 2000.

The Iraqis wanted to do it, the UN simply approved it.

Iraq had also threatened to stop oil exports, the bulk of which flow through the U.N. humanitarian programme, if its request for payment in euros was denied.

You morons invaded in 2003, and guess what you switched the currency to?

Oh yeah I forgot the rule: Only criticize America if you're American. Does that apply to their Foreign Policy too?

you can criticize all you want, but its funny how much you care for another country problems.

 

[spuriousmonkey]

It's quite normal to do so if you are not an american.

 

[Nickelodeon]

its funny how much you care for another country problems.

I coulnt care less about what happens in the US. But you know full well that US foreign policy isnt just a US problem - by definition.

so the world would be better place without the US interference?

If the US really DID care about spreading democray, freedom, rights etc maybe it could be a positive influence.

Is it just a coincidence that the US had previous ties with the Taliban, Iraq, Osama Bin Laden?

Things change, Nick. Old alliances change, goals change, friends change, nations elect/appoint new leaders, ...nothing remains static in the world.

Germany once wished to conquer by force all of North Africa and the Middle East. So, by your standard we should continue to hate Germany forever for that? No forgiveness for past errors in judgement, nor forgiveness even if they've made amends, nor understanding of the changing times and conditions?

Doesnt compare - Hilter is no longer in charge of Germany.

Yes, they did. You just didn't notice or don't know.

Doesnt compare - Hilter is no longer in charge of Germany.

Oh, well, okay. The same is true of the Taliban and al Queda ...both organizations have changed dramatically. And, I might add, the USA has changed leaders several times in the past few years.

They do, Sam, and they always have.

See what I mean about you? You have a link for everything, for every possible response to every possible post .....right there at your fingertips. You're a propagandist, Sam, ain't no way around it. You're anti-American and anti-Isreal and you have those links stored in your computer for easy access and quick response.

But interestingly, you have nothing on the problems in your own nation of India? Glass houses, throwing rocks????

Baron Max

 

[Nickelodeon]

Yes, they did. You just didn't notice or don't know.

Explain.

No they don't Baron. The only things that change are the labels assigned to them.

Search engines are there for a purpose.
