The Enemy of my Enemy is New U.S. Weapons

I don't know how the American government can trust the Saudis. But there you go.... |
The ruling class is filthy rich so with everything to lose they've got no motive to stir up trouble.
|
The US probably has weapons that can negate what the Saudis are getting. Then they'll sell them those when they have still newer weapons ready to go. I'm sure the US keeps the latest and greatest shit for itself and sells the chumps mildly obsolete weapons.

Wasn't it Saudis who flew the planes into the WTC on September 11, 2001?

Apparently it matters to Bush. Countries that harbour terrorists are our enemies and all that crap. But he is still willing to sell them arms. Seems hypocritical. It doesn't matter to me what country we are selling arms to in my opinion. Selling the arms is wrong. Too often they end up getting used on our own military.

You sided with the British against us in the Revolutionary War and have hated us ever since. We still consider Canada an "ally"...... Of course you directly border the continous 48 and we really have no choice....... But there you go........ and since when does "trust" have anything to do with who we sell weapons to??? No doubt our weapons are sometimes turned against us but does this mean that if we stopped selling them that our enemies would give up???? Maybe Boeing should quit manufacturing airplanes...... Bottom line is our enemies will use whatever they can to hurt us and unfortunately the means may actually have been provided by us as horrible as it may be. Do you really believe that if we refused to sell Saudis weapons that they wouldn't buy them from Russia or China and that some of these weapons would not end up being used against us also? I'm quite confident that more US soldiers have died from foriegn made weapons than from US made. Please name one ally of the US that DOESN'T recieve millions in weapons or aid from us. |

No different than Timothy McVeigh. A Government or Country cannot predict what an individual or individuals choose to do. Saudi Arabia didn't harbour the 9/11 terrorists anymore than the US harboured Tim McVeigh. He could've blown up Big Ben or any other worldy target and the US would not have been guilty of harbouring the psychopath just because he was born here. |
Sure our enemies will still get weapons, but I hardly think we should be helping them, and I don't think I(or anyone else) mentioned trust in connection to who we sell weapons to. I mean you put "trust" in quotes. What are you? An Albed clone? Always assuming and putting words into others peoples mouths? Judging people before you know them?
Sure they were terrorists. Saudi terrorists. Just like McVeigh is an American terrorist. We do harbor terrorists in the USA. According to Bush logic we should be bombing ourselves. |

If anything it is you oh diseased one that judged me, not only in my one post to the whining crying miss silver but again now because I dare point out how clueless you actually are. I didn't put one word in your pathetic mouth. I'm not sure how that is even possible with both of your feet in there and your head shoved so far up your judgemental ass. |
C'mon man. This is a question mark. "?" That's what you put after a sentence where you are asking a question. See my post above for examples. I was wondering if you were an Albed clone, and from your response, it looks like I wasn't far off. Name calling and un-intelligent banter don't make you seem cool or smart. It makes you look like a fool. You responded to my post adding the "trust" part yourself. I have known albed to get the wrong assumtion from people before and add his assumtions to what others say into his own posts. Then you did it, so I asked if that was the way you were also. So I wouldn't have to judge you without knowing you a bit better. And you come off with a typical albed move of name calling. It only confirms my suspicions.

The rest of your post reads like something miss_silver would write and I will not respond, albed's response made much more sense, and don't say I hate Americans because it is complete BS. Find me a post that would make you believe that could be true. |

What has always struck me as stupid is that you idiots actually think anyone takes any notice of that sort of self-absorbed,self-righteous fucking crap you guys love to spin. :) While making seem like it may be just all good fun for you to generalize about peoples intelligence who disagree with your viewpoint , it always is just another dull typical way to avoid the subject and drag it off course. Another fine example of arrogance and egotism laughable and disgusting.... yes you are a fucking joke :f: |

I believe this idea has been sold to the US public wholesale. (maybe there is still a few don't buy it ;)) I too am of course an American hater but never considered myself one. But I have to say.. Many great things in the US that won much admiration from people elsewhere last century have been slowly dismantled bit by bit over the last decade.. and now it is looking like some bizarre sideshow freak eating itself. Myself I can't bring myself to hate anyone in any one country too much ,mostly because every individual is unique, the illusionary idea of borders do not matter much any more.... they are ancient lines that will slowly become obsolete over time. |

My initial post was in response to Sinners post that started this thread. Furthermore he quite clearly mentioned "TRUST" in connection to who we sell weapons to in that huge 15 word response to the article he posted. I then included it again in a quote in my post. Yet somehow you were and still are completely unable to figure this out. It was you that made "wrong assumtions" and then added those assumptions to your own post. The quote clearly says "POSTED BY SINNER" not you, and the word trust is equally as clearly visible. I have since responded only to your judgement and completely false and wrong accusations to my initial post that didn't even involve you. It was you who judged me and put words in my mouth. It was after this initial post that I responded to your "who flew the planes" post. Yet your response to me wasn't about the only post of yours that I actually responded to and clearly about my response to Sinner. Now back to my point that you have completely overshadowed which was that trust really has nothing to do with weapons sales. Regardless of the country, Canada, Saudi Arabia or Timbuktoo there will always be those individuals, whether they are a minority or the majority that will have their own agendas that could very well include using our weapons or aid against us. |

I love Canadians.......they go back home after their visits unlike the Mexicans. No the fact that we border isnt the only reason we are allies but Canada does rely on the US for security and it is definately in our best interest to provide it because of this fact. You are absolutely right I can't say you have ever posted anything hateful about the US and was I definately out of line for directing that at you. I gotta stop reading Silvers posts. |
Quote:
You and many others here have been grouping Americans together as one entity for years and hardly as "unique individuals". Just look at the clone remarks. Obviously according to you anyone who disagrees with you must be a clone of someone else who has disagreed with you. You can't bring yourself to hate anyone in any one country too much????? So you hate but not "too much", just enough to get the job done. The arrogance in this one statement alone is on a completely new level even for you multi. Hate is hate my friend, if you hate someone there is no such thing as too much. As for being "sold" the idea of anyone not from the US hating us, it wasn't sold to us it has been rammed down our throats by the likes of you and many others posting here. Look at the whinefest you have been throwing over poor Miss Silver. You've never given a second thought to any of the posters that no longer post here due to the constant barrage of hateful rhetoric from the both of you. Of course not, you don't agree with what they had to say so good riddance to them, but man you sure have your panties in a bunch since that liberal lunatic Silver might not post anymore. The arrogance and hatred in this forum is contagious. When I stopped back in here after all these months and saw the same tit for tat BS being tossed around by the same few individuals I wrongly turned it on Sinner in my kneejerk and arrogant response to him. I'm not like this. Just like months ago when I found myself becoming arrogant and indifferent towards intelligent posters like Sinner whos opinions I respect I took a break. I find it increasingly difficult not to let the BS in this forum get under my skin and affect my posts. I post in a couple of birthday threads in the underground then stop in the "asylum" and its like falling into a quagmire of shit that has been festering for years. Then I go and group Sinner and all Canadians together in the very same way I can't stand its done to Americans which was totally unacceptable. I used to really enjoy these forums. I don't enjoy posting here anymore and no longer like the person I become when I visit here. I'm not blaming anyone here for this, it's my own fault and I am responsible for my own actions. Nor am I going to throw a tantrum like Miss Silver and say I'm leaving and never coming back. I'm quite capable of knowing when I need a break from this place and it's quite unfortunate that those breaks are getting longer and longer. The Clinton presidency really divided this country. Idiot George's presidency has continued this same liberal/conservative BS and has spread this division to the world. First it was 8 years of Republicans/Conservs whining and blaming everything on Clinton, and now its been almost 8 years of Democrats/Libs whining and blaming everything on Bush. This finger pointing and arguing amongst us is just out of control and gone on for almost 16 years now. I truly hope that whomever replaces Bush in 2008 can start this country back on a path to becoming the UNITED States again instead of the Divided States that we are now. This obviously also has to be the first step on the path to repairing the piss poor view that you multi and so many people from other countries have of America. Trying to fix the worlds problems before we even fix our own is obviously not working. |
Nice going multi, you managed to turn even jcmd into another whining crybaby: "Oh the harsh words in this forum are just so terrible...I can't bear to read them any longer. I must take a break-'sob'-farewell"
Incredible how cowardly people can be around here when in real life men fight with fists, knives and guns for what they believe in. :dis: |
so you are saying I do hate all Americans?
I just think I don't... or is it I am arrogantly trying to trick you with multi-layered rhetoric... whatever you SAY ! Where exactly do I insist on clones disagreeing with me must be a clone of someone else who has disagreed with me? Quote:
It was a joke son! so now my post count defines me as arrogant and egotistical.. how can I possibly defend that :D it's been fun watching some of you snobby fuckers go out of you way to ignore them... yeh it's arrogant ... I should of just put my tail between my legs 2-3 years ago and left this place but you see, there are people from the US here that are not like that at all. I like some people here..no matter where they come from is all I meant by: Quote:

Keep-your-friends-close-but-your-enemies-closer
There is one thing that is clear to me about what we must do to permanently end the threat posed by radical Islamic extremism: we must establish a relationship with the entire Muslim and Arab world based on genuine trust and shared interests. Our current presence in Iraq offers us an opportunity to accomplish this, but only if we are willing to face reality and treat Arabs as if they are equals to the Jews in Israel. No other American policy is more responsible for anti-Americanism in the Middle East (and in Europe, Asia and much of the rest of the world for that matter) than our ignorant and morally indefensible support of the hostile and oppressive actions of the Israeli government.
It would be correct to argue that war is not the ideal foundation for building a diplomatic and cross-cultural alliance upon, but it is precisely that which has put us in a position to rewrite our Middle East policy to better serve America’s national security interests. Heretofore, American foreign policy has marginalized Arab Muslims, more so than any other civilization on the planet, due in large part to our misguided support of Israel. Israel carries itself as if it were the 51st state of the Union, and for whatever reason US governments have reinforced American solidarity with the Jewish state despite its continues disregard for US interest and the will of the international community. For all of the pandering heard from Democrats about the importance of listening to the international community when formulating US foreign policy or guiding the nation into a war, has anyone ever hear them apply this same logic to the issue of Israeli occupation of the Palestinians and total disregard for international law and countless UN resolutions? Of course not. Republicans are no less hypocritical in their application of consequences for transgressions against the international community. One of the primary reasons given for the invasion of Iraq was its continuous disregard for UN resolutions demanding its disarmament, which is in my opinion a great and justified reason for imposing sanctions and using force to increase pressure on a government. However, in the case of Israel, it has acquired nuclear capability by spying on the United States, occupied its neighbors and reduced millions of people to a stateless and largely hopeless existence, all in the name of God and country. What have we done about that? Nothing. No sanctions, no force, politicians don’t even have the courage to speak out publicly against their irresponsible and harmful policies for fear that this would be politically unwise. ...More _______________________________________________ Latest Bin Laden Video Is a Forgery: All References to Current Events Are Made During Video Freeze clever shit.. no one will make people believe these videos are mostly faked it's like believing in ET aliens ___________________________ Bush's new friends: The Sunnis Sept. 5, 2007 | WASHINGTON -- With little progress toward national political reconciliation in Baghdad, and Congress poised to reassess the troop surge, the Bush administration is maneuvering to spin its Iraq strategy in a different direction. Essentially, the argument now goes that instead of sectarian reconciliation from the capital, all politics is local. A series of handshake truces between the U.S. military and Sunni tribes -- including some who not long ago fought as insurgents -- is at the heart of the approach to bringing greater stability to Iraq. "At some point, there was a switch in the terms of reference for how we evaluate this surge," says Brian Katulis at the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning think tank. "It was that we were going to get the politics running at the national level. Now the key is local progress. It is not national progress." The handshake truces between U.S. commanders and former Sunni insurgent groups started in Iraq's western Anbar province in late 2005, and similar initiatives are now spreading east toward Baghdad. Former insurgents agree to halt attacks on U.S. troops and instead, with U.S. backing, fight against forces associated with al-Qaida in Iraq. In return, U.S. forces are also helping Sunnis establish their own local security forces and sign up in predominantly Sunni units of the Iraqi army and police. This new concept, known as "bottom-up reconciliation," has increasingly crept into White House and Pentagon talking points -- reframing a plan that was originally supposed to tamp down sectarian conflict and pave the way for deal making by securing Baghdad and creating a stable national government. But while security conditions have improved in some areas of Baghdad and elsewhere in the country, some experts say that the shift toward backing Sunni groups isn't likely to help reduce sectarian strife -- and may well be setting the stage for a greater civil war. Improved security from the troop surge, President Bush argued early this year, would foster an environment in Baghdad where national reconciliation would blossom. Concrete steps such as assembling a more inclusive central government and equitably dividing oil revenues would begin to bridge deep sectarian rifts, progress that would be measurable with so-called benchmarks. "America will hold the Iraqi government to the benchmarks," Bush said when he announced the surge strategy in January. But the administration has been moving away from the previous measures for progress. "The longer I'm here, the more I'm persuaded that Iraq cannot be analyzed by these kind of discrete benchmarks," Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad, told the New York Times in July. And when President Bush visited Al Asad Air Base in the Sunni-dominated Anbar province on Monday, he emphasized "bottom-up progress," saying that it is "paving the way for the political reconciliation and economic progress the Iraqis need to transform their country." Military officials in Iraq contend this is, in fact, a form of reconciliation. "We are empowering [Sunnis] and we are looking at this as an opportunity to reconcile," Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a military spokesman in Iraq, said of the efforts to cut deals with and prop up the Sunnis. "That is one of the things we keep talking about is this national reconciliation, in which getting the people to stop fighting -- even if it is just fighting us -- at least gets people working together," Garver told Salon. The initiatives have had some tangible benefits for U.S. troops. Maj. Jeff Pool, a Marine public affairs officer in Anbar Province, said there had been 70 attacks on U.S. forces in Anbar the week before last -- down from 450 during a week from the same time period last year. "Most of these guys had been shooting at us, so you are virtually certain to show a net gain whatever you do," said Frederick Kagan of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. Kagan has also been a vocal supporter of the surge strategy. But others analyzing the war worry that the United States is now training, organizing and empowering staunch foes of the Shiite-led central government. Even Lt. Col. Garver, the military spokesman, admitted that the U.S. initiative with the Sunnis has resulted in "some nervousness" among Shiite leaders in Baghdad. "If what you are doing is strengthening these particular Sunni groups, and they are cooperating with us to get rid of al-Qaida, you give them guns and training," says Marc Lynch, a professor of political science at George Washington University. "Now they are in a better position to fight against the Shiites." ...More _________________________ Quote:

Its truly a shame that toy soldiers like you disgrace the heroic efforts that real soldiers die for every day. I'll take being a whining crybaby anyday of the week compared to being a useless prick like you. Yes albed our prisons are chock full of "real men" just like you. Real cowardly men who fought for their pathetic beliefs with violence, fists knives and guns. One really has to enjoy the ignorance of someone who thinks that what they post on some useless bulletin board counts for shit in the world of cesspools. |

It seems quite hilarious that you pretend not to understand jc albed. One would think it would be like looking in the mirror. Then again, you both seem to have an acute form of blindness when it comes to self perception.
In spite of jc's pathetic appeal that he's "not like this," what you have in common (with each other as well with most of the other angry little people you see commenting on news items across the internet) is the pretense that you are bound to be superior to virtually everyone you encounter, quite in spite of the fact that the preponderance of the evidence is to the contrary. |
