Or just according to you?
As for Bin Laden, I really wish you would bother to do some in-depth research instead of continuing to spew the same tripe over and over again. :rolleyes:
It's "common knowledge" that American revolutionaries fought from behind trees. It's wrong, but it is common.
It's "common knowledge" that the American Civil War was fought over slavery. Although slavery was one of the issues, it isn't the only one. Once again, wrong but common.
It's "common knowledge" that the German Army was the most powerful army in the world in 1940. Once again wrong, but common.
"Common knowledge"?
How about actually learning something instead of relying on common stupidity.
Like Yassar Arafat and the Munich Olympics?
I can believe that Saddam and Al Qaeda have ended up together facing their common enemies. But who forced them into this alliance?
They would have been mortal enemies before - Secular, Police State dictator/thug with dreams of opulence Vs Fanatical, Muslim Zealot, leader of underground suicide network that brands non-muslims as 'infidels'. Quite apart from the difference in approach to their goals there is a fundamental difference in Ideology.
If a belligerent, flailing for someone to blame and economically incompetent administration had not needed a distraction from the fact that the 'War on Terror' was not going too well then they might never have ended up together.:mad:
So whats assuming them all to be thoughtless bloodthirsty maniacs then?
Find out where it comes from.
Then you might start bothering to learn something about Arab culture and about the motivations of terrorists and dictators. Might even learn something.
To start with, you can find a good book on Arab culture. Try the Culture Shock! series, hopefully they have one on Saudi Arabia or Jordan.
Second, read the Scotland Yard report on the motivations and psychological profiles of terrorists. If you prefer, the FBI also has a report, and so does Interpol.
Third, read about Saddam's idol, Josef Stalin.
Last, if you want to bother, find one of the psychological profiles of Saddam Hussein and read it.
Is the above a definitive green beanie surgical strike? :eek:
De-esophogated the target, so easily?
My compliments, Sir!
I could have replied by mentioning a certain overweigh terrorist living not far from Arafat and involved in some dirty deeds in Lebanon some time ago, but decided not to as it was equally irrelevant to this thread.
Still living in a parallel universe Thanatos?
Oops... forgot... For you, Arafat is a HERO...
Munich was a "heroic" moment in the jihad against the Zionist nations of Israel and the United States of America.
Specifically. However...
You have made your perspective ever so well known...
I guess that makes me a terrorist-supporting anti semite, right?
:rolleyes:
I'd like a Palestinian-recognized Israel...
They will have to do that in order to have a state.
There will be. IF there is a viable Palestinian state. Study some maps f Israel/Palestine. The Israelis have the vast majority of fertile land, easy building land and high land. If the palestinians have any more prime land the Fanatical Zionists stck a settlement on it.
There must be two viable states for there to be peace.
Doubt that you will ever receive an answer to your incovenient question...
Do you mean the attack on the Israeli athletes? No Americans were targetted there AFAIK. And the link with Osama bin Laden would be?
to here:
would simply be another example of your waffling obfuscation, correct?
Inconvenient is the intended word, because it is inconvenient to your nefarious agenda to pose a question to you, hold to the question, and not allow you to pervert it into something completely different. Which...
would make Greenhat's observation ever so apropos:
Why is it you think Osama Bin Laden is the only terrorist the US is interested in?
You are a very confused individual, aren't you? One minute you say its a good thing that the USA is continuing to fight terrorism, the next you say idiocy like "And the link with Osama bin Laden would be?" What makes you think there needs to be a link?
THE WAR ON TERROR - Not THE WAR ON OSAMA BIN LADEN
:rolleyes:
Or can we expect US special troops to land in South Africa and arrest Nelson Mandela any time soon?
Thanatos, I worry about you. I really do.
Problem for you, Aladdin, is you don't know what you are talking about, but you keep muttering on.
Another Al Queda link
Sarin and Mustard Gas
Perhaps you would care to explain it now? Out with it. Very clearly and in full detail. Like if you had to explain it to your President.
Then again, judging by the link you just posted you seem to believe that if a man wanted for terrorism lives in a country, that makes that country guilty of terrorism, so what chance do we have of a logical discussion?
Well I'd be damned. I never realised that the UK, US, Spain, France, Germany, Greece and countless other nations were terrorist states.
Maybe you should bother to go back and reread your own posts. You might figure it out (although I doubt it).
You really are a fool, aren't you? Did you bother to note the fact that information was provided to allow this person to be arrested by the Iraqis and they ignored it? Did you bother to notice that we are talking about a police state that emulated East Germany with the security apparatus copied from the Stasi?
Tell you what. Travel to Vietnam as a wanted criminal. See how long you can live without being picked up (I'll bet less than 15 minutes in a city, not over 2 days in the countryside). And Vietnam isn't nearly as pervasive in their security systems as Iraq was. He lived there, and the Iraqi gov't knew he was there. Not quite the same situation as the nations you mentioned above.
