Current Mood: | Re: Blind Nationalism I read it, Saddam never posed a threat to the US directly, yet we went in there without official declaration of war and did what it was that we wanted. Created nothing more than chaos and destruction with no conceivable end in sight. What gives us the right to engage in unconstitutional war against nations which were not a threat to us?

"Overnight we found ourselves in a different world," said Saif, referring to the Sept. 11 attacks. "So Libya had to redesign its policies to cope with these new realities."

Saddam already has been replaced by something worse than him. Us. More terrorism has happened under U.S rule than ever under Saddam. Iraq is chaotic. In order for Iraq not to be chaotic, Iraq has to become a police state. If you really wanted to help the Iraqi people you would support withdrawal.

Actually, Khaddafy has a lifelong history of being all mouth.
The most he ever actually did was congradulate some tard that blew up a building in Germany, and "unknowingly" (har har!) shelter a group that blew up a plane over Scotland.
But actually DO something? Yeah, right. He was the best enemy you can possibly have. Talks big, outages the viewing audience, but doesn't ever actually do any damage. |

Huh?
You still haven't rebutted the assertion: Iraq did nothing to America.
This war has nothing to do with our actions during WWII on any moral level whatsoever. |

Actually Khaddafi was instrumental in forming thepolicy and providing the funding tht enabled the bombers that blew up that nighclub frequented by US servicemen in Germany and in the same manner he also set in motion the plot that blew up the Pan Am flight over Scotland.
And you said you're a cop? Did I hear you right? You seem familiar to me. Your manner of debate and your usage are known to me. Aren't you really Leftist Protozoa no longer pretending to an ex-Army officer and now masquerading as a police officer? Hiya, LP! |

I'm quite sure I have no idea what you're talking about. I was an enlisted man in the army many years ago. I am now a police officer.
There's an easy solution to this, of course. Have a mod resolve this "LP's" IP address, and mine.
I mean, since you seem to be so obsessed with me.

I mean, since you seem to be so obsessed with me. | I'm just returning your attention to me. I've grown very fond of you. You seemed pretty obsessed with me last night. I felt special. Then you ran away just like LP did. You even use all his stock phrases and seem fully possessed of his crackpot politics. You're not a real cop, are you, with a gun and a bullet and stuff? |

Before I put you back on ignore, I have to ask: What is this weird fixation you've developed? |

You've been posting aggressively ignorant partisan nonsense on all my threads and you expect me to ignore you? Not going to happen. Perhaps if you stay off of the political and historical threads where I'm at we won't seem so taken with one and other.
