US leaders

[Alc]

Yes they declared war on a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, that there was never any evidence even to suggest it

Come on: person who planned the attacks = foreign. Iraq = foreign. If that's not a solid basis for war, I don't know what is. As the pretty slideshow informed us, the US marines were also attacked in Beirut, which falls under the catch-all category of being 'foreign' and adds further justification for the invasion of Iraq.

Perhaps if the person who created the slideshow worried less about God being in the classroom and more about teachers being in the classroom, the ability to distinguish between foreign countries (and to spell words like 'misled' and 'forgotten' correctly) would be improved?

They just wanted to get even with Iran for taking over their embassy back in the 80's.
Turned out it was a typo.

.. the ability to distinguish between foreign countries

You kind of lost me on this one. Do you mean the ability to distinguish one foreign country from another or the ability to distinguish a foreign country from their own?

I suppose Canada's very lucky they didn't use something like MS Spellcheck when completing the attack orders.

Sorry if you posted this earlier but just where do you reside?

One foreign country from another.

 

[KenHigg]

One foreign country from another.

And in what part of the video did that happen?

Just after the stuff about 'In case you have forgotten, we are at war', the slideshow lists attacks in or by people based in Beirut, the Yemen and Afghanistan. It then rambles on about how people want the US to stop fighting before the war is won - I may be paraphrasing, but I couldn't watch the whole thing again, even with the sound off.

The implication is that the war in Iraq should continue at least in part because of these attacks. Since these countries have nothing in common other than the fact that they're not the US, and Iraq wasn't part of the attacks anyway, it came across as quite a confused message and gave the impression that the writer has a problem distingushing one foreign country from another.

I will be heading out tomorrow with my Made in US of A guns and in the car with the Chev V8

Just seen the news goingon about your drought and poor grain harvest.
Don't suppose the fact that you drive around in V8s has anything to do with this?

Ok...

Sorry but your 'it then' is a bit dis-jointed and doesn't really indicate the writer does not know one country from the next does it?

And I really see nothing in the rest of your post that supports that argument either:

Maybe you were just so anxious to get on the hate band wagon that you failed to judge the video objectively. As for me, I was confused by the first part were it said something about one way, two way, etc. What did all of that mean?

(And when you gig some one else on spelling be sure you get your stuff right i.e. ‘distingushing’ ? )

Could be, I don't remember seeing any delta 88's stuck in any mudslides

What we hate is the way the US stomps all over the world as if it owns it

 

[KenHigg]

All of the idle hate you care to muster in this forum is blown like a fart in the wind and you'll have nothing for your efforts. On the other hand, if you try understand why some of our leaders have inflated egos, as some of us here are trying to do, by getting to know us and being friendly and having constructive dialogs, perhaps that too will be blown in the wind... And that's not much fun anyway. Never mind blast away at us

Your continued support for Bush and the Republican party creates a huge obstacle, now if you're prepared to renounce that addiction we can start to show you the error of your ways and return to a peaceful dialogue

I suspect that it's not so much of an addiction to what we currently have as stated that is an obstacle to a return to friendy banter but rather the repugnant option(s) that lurks...Sorry

It was a Democrat POTUS that A-Bombed the japs

Kenneth why can't you accept that we have such a deep love and affection for the American peoples that we simply want to help save you?

 

[Rich]

That's been answered in depth here before, pay attention

 

[Mike375]

I must of missed that or was that the one where you had some bullshit about the a-bombing was for ending a war?

 

[Rich]

I must of missed that

No it's just your hatred of the Japanese that's left you blind to the facts
