. 0.32... It's true that USA is the friend of good democracies such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait where the terrorists don't come from ... That's funny coming from Hitlerstan. So you wouldn't throw a hissy fit if the US toppled those regimes? The truth is, if the US isn't toppling the regimes people like you blame us. If the US is toppling the regime, people like you blame us. That's why most of us, except for the Euro-craving liberals don't give a flip if Europe approves or disapproves of most things, especially when we see it as a matter of our national interest. You can't even say with a straight face that if the US started to put heavy pressure, even threatening military force, on Saudi Arabia you and everybody you know would immediately say "it's all about the oil". There's no pleasing people like you and it may make you feel important for Americans to hear your opinion, in fact you're wasting your time. We've got several decades of noticing how the world would be in a dreadful condition if we followed the vacillating desires of Europeans. Certainly we would be poorer and weaker and have less freedom. Try going another decade or two without invading your neighbors or try contributing to a Euro Defense Corp during good and bad economic times and then tell us how responsible you are. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

... I put a wee bit off info under the first thread, after a brief diversion to Cuba. Actually, after the above, crap, I don't think the Americans deserve allies. Bring our troops back and **** 'em. We're not going to get any thanks if our troops are in Iraq or Afghanistan so let the American troops die. Opps, now I'm starting to rant! But those ignorant fools really **** me off. More empty promises from people that won't assume the full responsibility of national security. Dependence breeds resentment. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

I guess you mean the UK's Guardian newspaper and the other news sources that document the hijack training site at Salmon Pak. Nobody has officially claimed Iraq was behind Sept 11. There are some suspicions, and there is evidence that Iraq was behind the 1993 WTC bombing. -- Scott -------- "Interestingly, we started to lose this war only after the embedded reporters pulled out.

Ann Coulter http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2003/091703.htm Hey what's the matter scotty ? Did you get too much pigeon **** while in Paris ? French chicks don't want to make love to you ? I feel sorry for you : it seems you're just repeating what Dubya said on Fox News without trying to understand what & why he said that. Perhaps you're one of those ugly fat people I saw in NYC : you know those rednecks weighting 'bout 400 lbs Btw, how the US troops doing in Liberia ? Why have they gone ? That Taylor punk is a true terrorist, why don't you guys go & beat the crap outta him ? Taylor is gone from Liberia. Get a clue. Al Minyard |

Anyone have any data in regards to the types of military vehicles and number carried that could fit inside the plane for air transport? Looking at the French Army vehicle mainly - thanks in advance Brian France has an army? Let's let Gen. James L. Jones, USMC, NATO Supreme Commander, answer your (smart and intellectually honest) question : " France has probably the most expeditionary army [i.e., ready to deploy to distant battlefields] in Europe. And writ large. They have impressive military capabilities across the whole spectrum of operations. They're good at peacekeeping; their Air Force is modern, state of the art; their Navy is modern; their land Army I know about because I served with them in northern Iraq 11 years ago, and I know their generals-this is a very, very fine army ". He made this statement in an interview last week with Newsweek : http://www.msnbc.com/news/972918.asp. There are other sources besides Fox News, you know... ArVa That is called "being diplomatic", which is not the same as being "honest". The french armed forces are an international joke. Al Minyard |

"Chad Irby" a écrit dans le message de . com... "...most expeditionary army in Europe." That's not saying much, especially since it would take them six months to get any of that army overseas without American help. !? ...and there are other Generals besides ones who grew up in France. Sure... But if more Americans and French knew better the other country, its history, its culture and its political system, maybe we wouldn't experience the current situation... "Continental sensibilities" means he says nice diplomatic things about the Europeans he has to work with on a regular basis. It's a bit true but nevertheless a nice comment by an American official is so rare these days that it had to be underlined... :-) If he were telling the truth, he'd be the *former* NATO Supreme Commander... And what would be such a truth? Hmm? By the way, as you speak of former NATO commanders, here is what says another one of them : "if you really want allies, you got to listen to their opinions, you've got to take them seriously, you've got to work with their issues. Every one of our allied leaders is an elected leader, at least in Europe. And that means they have domestic politics and political factors at home and economic factors at home that influence their opinions. And those have to be respected just like we would expect them to respect us for our political system in the United States. If we deal with our allies on a basis of respect, if we give them the opportunity and the evidence and the arguments and the analysis that's needed to help shape their public opinions, then we can expect them to go along with us." Wesley Clark. I don't know if he has any real chance to be your next president, but the current administration would be inspired to take one or two of his ideas in condideration... ArVa So who said we want france as an ally? They have caused us nothing but grief. Wesley Clark has zero chance of becoming the US President, partially because of comments like the one above.

YEah cool he's gone out of Liberia with all the money there was. Do you
honestly think a guy like him will accept to leave his 'throne' just because the US sent a few marines ? From where I stand, it's as good as if he was still there.I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to take some advantage back some way or another, a bit like Saddam. You know, that guy you guys can't catch Alan Minyard wrote: Taylor is gone from Liberia. Get a clue.

Halliburton won 'bout $2 bn in rebuilding contracts in Iraq. Now who's
making the big money ? Chad Irby wrote: In article , Skysurfer wrote: Who is naive to believe that Irak was behind spetember the 11th ?

You're definitely weak, we all agree on that.

"AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. – The Air Force Academy will reconsider its
plan to deny rape victims confidentiality after an independent commission said such confidentiality could be crucial in solving the academy's sexual assault scandal." I think that's your major problem : you're not getting enough sex. Our pilots don't rape girls at the academy.
