$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BorneoRagnarok', 'W')ah, everyone sound like Taliban of the West after looking at the video except Omar and Eastbay. Actually shits do happens in war. You don't expect them to welcome the invader with kisses and hugs, do you ? Since they machinegunned down tonnes of local meat earlier.

Someone must learnt something from Mr. Joseph Stalin. "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic." So millions Iraqi deaths are nothing compare to the death of 1 people which is aired on TV, video, BitTorrent or CNN. A true tragedy indeed for the mankind.


Seriously. If somebody invaded my country, you bet your ass I'd pop a few rounds into them. And all of you would do the same.

I think what is disgusting though is that they took no prisoners. But then, even this goes against Islamic law (that would be, the killing of prisoners, depending on which Islamic school of law you consult), so...we all really just need to get over it.

I couldn't agree more. We'll no doubt be seeing/hearing about more of the same as events unfold.

I for one wouldn't go snooping around iraq in a slow-n-low heli at the moment, thats tantamount to suicide!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('0mar', 'W')ar is war. If you don't want to get shot, then don't start one.


Unfortunately the poor buggers that get shot aren't making the decision and the ones making the decisions to go to war are in no personal danger of getting shot.

Oh, and atrocities are very, very human. Our aggression against others of our species is one of our most ubiquitous characteristics.
Kind regards, Katkinkate

Yes, you have to treat prisoners right according to Islamic Law. Unfortunately, many of these Jihadists are Islamic in name only, I liken them to the KKK of America. Christian in name only.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('heyhoser', 'P')lease God, stop the killing.

that means people would have to stop talking about it, and start doing something about it.
the public i know is too jaded and apathetic to even try.
im not relying on the slim chance the free peoples of this world will TRY and do something to stop the tyranny that we have created for our selves.
i cant denie the in-action any longer.
for my selve, i have to do somehting.
I dont know what yet, but to quote dead prez

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('arretium', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('k_semler', 'P')ilot of B2: "Target confirmed, releasing 50MT thermonuclear device now.
Bomb bay doors: Rrrrrrrr-Kunk!
Retaining clamps: vrrrrrrrr!
Bomb: falls
Pilot of B2: "Device released, clearing blast zone."
Plane: Ascends rapidly, and reverses course. This exerts a 4G pull on the pilot of the aircraft.
Pilot of B2: "Clear of blast radius, awaiting activation of thermonuclear device."
Fundimentalist Muslim: "Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!!"
Bomb: rights its self due to air resistance and gravitational forces:
Fundimentalist Muslim: Death to America! Allahu Akbar! Death to the infidel!" (holds up sword while riding a camel to go make war)
Plane: pulls away at a rate of 1550 MPH
Bomb: reaches an altitude of 1100 feet, detonation
Fundimentalist Muslim: is incinerated in less than 1/1,000,000th of a second, and feels no pain.
City in which fundimentalist islamist is located: also ceaces to exist.
Pilot of B2: Target neutralized. Threat eliminated."
City below with fundimental muslim: only atoms remain, Not sufficient matter even exists to form ashes. All matter is pulverised into radioactive dust, and is dispersed throughout the earth's statosphere.


....Within days:

BBC News reports: "Sir David Manning, British Ambassador to the U.S. has been recalled. The EU governments have withdrawn from NATO and instituted an economic blockade against the U.S. All U.S. forces within the U.K. have been ordered to leave."

...24 hours later...

Secretary Bolton screams "You guys are wimps. You are all cowards."

...36 hours later...

BBC News reports: "The Russian Defence minstry has ordered the release of all ICBM missiles upon the United States."



I would not expect a military/nuclear response. Those, in other countries with nukes, have more experience and backbone than the current chickhawk administration in the US. Certainly Russia would not launch an attack, not unless directly attacked, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.

I've been suggesting a quick escalation to nukes by the US for months now. Not because the US is strong but because it is very weak. The US military is extremely frail and resources are incredible limited. Any challenge to US forces, would force US nuclear response. They simply have no other options.
The achilles heel of the US military is the machinary. It's completely dependent on high technology, that is extremely expensive, complex and hard to replace.
There are only 10 active carriers (nuclear), if you loose one you loose 10% of your carrier fleet, and it takes 10years to replace a nuclear carrrier. That's an enormous hit.
Much of the American military infrastructure is like that. M1 tanks, are like land carriers; complex, expensive to keep in the field, hard to replace.
You blow up a couple of hundred of them and the US looses the ability to effectively project that force. It's not that hard to blow up even an M1 tank, and in Iraq most are rendered useless in a few weeks just through wear and tear.
Any sort of push-back by Iran and the US, initial perhaps through Israel, will be forced to go nuclear. Israel in particular is in a very bad spot and would have to lay waste pretty quick or disappear in a tidal wave of blood, the anger is that palpable there.
Gravity is not a force, it is a boundary layer.
Everything is coincident.

We won't nuke 'em. that would spoil the 'goods'.

It's difficult to extract oil when the land above is awash in radioactive fallout.

Even if we do, Other countries won't have to use their military to wreck us. All they have to do is dump their dollar as a reserve currency and replace it with the euro.. (which will destroy the US economy in short order).
