JESUS CHRIST, where did any one say read books that dams americas presence, you're only after proving my accusation that you don't read posts properly, i said read books about america's foreign policy in general, read books that tell you facts, not bias shit, from the right or left, and if you've read the truth (as what has definately happened in histroy) then you'll realised what americas motives are, i hope to good you've read this post properly
p.s so you're saying that besides sleeping which takes up 8 hours, that you are constantly busy 16 hours a day every week, bullshit, i do history, english lit and irish, how much reading do you think i have to do, i always have time to read, you're wasting time now on this internet that could be used reading, that reminds me, i'm away to read
so stop posting as much on here and make some time, yu have these books thrown at you? read them then
to get anywhere in politics i think you dont have to have the knowledge par se, but you need the mindset to be able to understand what is thrown in front of you, much as myself and turlough do
and until you get there, you need to be able to make the time if you are going to post in politics and debate
you just said it yourself you dont have the time for this stuff, then dont bother coming here and wasting your time then, do something you are good at
But then, since you wont bother to get and read them, you remain clueless and merely spout slogans and rhetoric used to numb the minds of the gullible and easily led, like yourself.
Why do you side with the ruling classes then?
and im doing a degree course, which requires quite high attention to, and im doing quite a lot of work per week, and this is computing work, my political knowledge and thirst is now a hobby rather than the work it was at a level and when i had a nice job
i still manage
Here's a name to start you off: Benon Sevan.
so why dont you
Seriously though, you are pushing the boundaries by aiming such crude invective directly at other posters. If you do get banned, and choose to return, try to learn the lesson. I'd say that you should try staying away for a week or two, but with Thanatos failing to grace us with his presence, we're short a clown.
Simply put, we are doing what has long been the penchant of the West (invented by the British sadly) of dividing and conquering.
Could someone explain to me* why an army of 130,000 people suddenly finds it a struggle to transfer 650 of them to a certain area and has to rely on the British to provide those soldiers?
* Naturally the question is rhetorical. I know perfectly well (and so does everyone else) why the US needs to use British troops.
Make no mistake: regardless of all that's happened until now, illegal wars and all, any British soldier who gets killed while fulfilling the US request will be the full and direct responsibility of Tony Blair. As far as I'm concerned he might as well have shot them himself. For this is NOTHING but a pathetic, disgusting, patronising and abusive request that was politically motivated so fucking Bush is not seen as having to request new troops or having any extra US soldiers killed just before the election.
What a fucking spineless, pathetic excuse for a Prime Minister of an alleged sovereign nation we have! :mad: :mad: :mad:
(If Blair does indeed accept the US 'request', as he would appear to be prepared to do)
Government confirms British troops WILL be sent to Central Iraq as per US' ''request''
I'm surprised Tony hasn't flown to the US and joined Bush's election tour to be honest...
:rolleyes:
so if they die under british command it will be ok
All this could be very embarrassing for Tony if John Kerry becomes President next month.
The attack will come before the election, but the fight back will be after.
it wont be embarassing, just blair will have no friends left
It WILL be embarrassing for Tony, but a bloody good laugh for the rest of us!
To the best of my knowledge no soldier was told when he signed up that in addition to defending one's country or intervening abroad to bring peace under international law, he could also be sent to fight illegal wars motivated by greed, power and oil revenue.
The families of all soldiers killed to date, both here and the US, must feel very comforted that their loved ones died so oil corporations and weapons manufacturers could have an early Christmas.
But this latest development is even worse because in addition to having to keep soldiers in a lawless hellhole Bush and Blair have created in the first place, the spineless poodle is now committing further troops to a much more dangerous area for the sole purpose of protecting Bush’s re-election chances.
I supported the war originally, now I just feel furious about all the lies I was told. Iraq is in a dire state, though, and I think we'll have to focus on re-building the country. With some luck, we might see Tony one day at a war crimes tribunal. But don't bet on it.
we will never see george bush or tony blair in a war crimes tribunal
Exactly. And that's a shame.
Letter written by my course director here at uni.
"Noted that our illustrious Prime Minister said that he was 'up for the job' in reference to another term in office. Such a shame that he is not up to the job"
after all the war tribunal international thingy is doing exactly what bush and blair did, taking away the oppertunity to do justice from where it should be carried out to an international stage where i see there is no power
War crimes should always be tried in an international court.
