    If the US President decided to release every murderer in prison who then went on to murder others who would you put any blame on the President?

    Many prefer not to believe it .... or just "forget" it happened.

    The "dancing Israelis" in question were idiots to celebrate it, if they indeed were celebrating it, but they also had a reason to do so, however distasteful and self-centered. They were accustomed to that kind of terrorist violence back home and were likely excited by the idea that the US would be attacking their enemies, which would bring greater security to them.

    Yes, primarily Saudis hijacked the 9/11 planes. Yet the organization of which they were a part was not based in Saudi Arabia, but in Afghanistan. We went to Afghanistan to destroy that organization and to try and secure Afghanistan enough that it would not be a home base for terrorists attacking us on our soil again. It unfortunately has also meant having to do some nation-building, a long, expensive process. An admirable one as well, however, and one that benefits the Afghans even more than it does us.

    Not going to do it. You can try detailing how we are or were not in the right, as that's all you ever want to claim and want the rest of us to believe, but I simply don't buy it. Our servicemen and women are not out there to do wrong, but to do right. They volunteer to go through hell and put their lives on the line to do the right thing. Our military and government have to answer for what they do around the world also. Our accusers are scumbag autocracies, like Putin's criminal regime and its regional allies.

    You poor, poor fellow. During the past 200 hundred years you cannot find a single example of the U.S. "doing right". Such a pity considering it's you who wants so desperately to prove the U.S. is not always "doing wrong". I am going to send a letter to D.C. and tell them not to give you a position in the P.R. department. No-no! :disbelief:
    You have no idea who you are talking to.

    No kidding. It's an anonymous web forum.

    Not going to play that game, as I've told you.

    You are exhausted, defeated, and cannot come with a single example. And you call yourself an American.

    Shame on youi.gif
    I could tell you but watching you sweat and squirm is more pleasurable than to serve you the dish of crow that is waiting for you in the kitchen with your name on it.

    Would millions have been dead if we did not go into Iraq? Would the Christians have left Iraq if we did not go into Iraq? Would there be terrorists in Iraq if we did not go in? Would we have bombed Mosul back to the stone age if we did not go in? I don't think so!



    The Albanians have now honored Madeline with a statue in Kosovo for bombing Belgrade for 78 days and killing thousands of civilians under a false premise of genocide.. Bravo Madeline you did it again, and children are continuing to die from the depleted uranium we used. :applause:

    But then again maybe she and Clinton should be thanked for waking Putin up to Washington's hypocrisy and rebuilding Russia's military.

    Our servicemen were under the same illusions that most Americans are, but they found out differently and the suicides everyday attest to it. They weren't raised to kill and maim the innocent so as to benefit certain elite.

    Since I'm psychic, I'm going to render a guess here. You live in the Middle West and you were born in Russia. You hate Vladimir Putin because you're ultra liberal and he's a devout Orthodox.

    I'll say this: That is slightly more accurate than everything else you post. :) Because you got 1/3 correct; I'm in the Midwest.

    Weve provoked how many times....Kremlin does nothing....like a dog who chases a vehicle, nips at the tire, then proceeds to piss on that same tire when the vehicle is stopped.

    Yes. Look at UN reports about how many civilians were dying yearly in Iraq due to sanctions.

    They must have been psychic, too, since they were spotted before the planes hit the towers.

    Somehow, I bet you don't want to delve into that any further.

    Damn Skippy they did.

    True that, but we have known for a long time who financed these radicalized idiots. Hell, you can dial it back to 1979 and see our hands all over it, too.

    The US is the biggest supporter of murderous dictators on the planet, so get down from your high horse and put away your soapbox because nobody is swayed by your sanctimonious drivel.

    I know that the Elder Ephraim of Vatopedi Monastery in Mount Athos was Putin's spiritual father (confessor), that is until the Elder brought a relic to Russia and upset the EU and the socialist Greek government so they put him in jail under a contrived charge. It thrilled the prisoners having a confessor there, and hated to see him leave. Prince Charles also goes to Vatopedi for retreats, and according to the Greek Orthodox news he went there secretly with Prince Harry. Prince Charles is the only one that has his own bathroom.

    After what they did to the Elder in Athens, Vladimir Putin began going to a Russian Monastery for retreats. I also know that Assad has a very close relationship with a Syrian Monastery even though he's an Alawite. According to the nuns he had an unusual mystical experience when praying..

    To understand the difference between attending church and a monastery, in a monastery the prayer service starts at 3:00 AM and it lasts for 7 hours. There are also other regulations. You have to be devout.
