Hey Brough, Nukes..Iran...Behringer...
Actually there is a correlation. Since the smackdown on using German and other Euridiot scientists was enforced by the fukked up gringos, they had to resort to using Pakistanis and Russians...hey those guys are no slouches...but...who the fukk is responsible for oversight?!?!?!
So...
Lavry>Pendulum>Behringer>Lavry...
or two scenarios....
1. The Texas hat rack blows it and like all his other stutters, fore goes imagination and attacks Bangladesh with ground troops. This time the great grandsons of Stalingrad vets go with us....
2. The Texas hat rack blows it and like all his other stutters, doesn't get world backing because we are in the same game, queer intelligence and a madman who is either bluffing or not. Iran shoots their nuke....no quality plan like the Swiss...fukken miss Israel and hit Greece.....BOOOM!!!! No more shitty cheese or Ouzo...fallout goes everywhere and people in Europe become emaciated, turn pale and start wearing stupid looking glasses. Hatred builds across the region until someone blames the Jews for the whole mess. Everyone stands around with their thumb in their ass waiting for the Texas hat rack to do something. Well......we're waiting.
The hat rack continues reading to children for three minutes and forty seconds after the gyros are super well done...He is attacked by NYC lesbians for not acting presidential.
He then relocates to a command post under granite and steel and orders a shrimp cocktail after a workout on the treadmill and mulls his options. Condi buys a Persian rug at Macys.
Deep inside his command post the President of the United States of America makes his decision. Five days later he appears on T.V. and we declare war on Japan to restore democracy.
The director of the CIA is severely reprimanded after it becomes apparant that Japan has already been invaded and forced to be a democracy and had no Behringer equipment in the country. Rumsfeld appears and states they must have moved it all to China. Noone cares that it's a German company started by the CIA.

Now that they've announced the new missile technology they have that can travel at 200mph in the water, they could easily shut down all oil shipments through the Middle East by blowing up tankers and send the price of oil to $125 a barrel overnight. Instantly we'd go from paying $3.00 a gallon at the pump to $6.00. The ripple effect through the economy would probably be the tipping point to send us into full blown widescale recession, if not a soft depression.
If there was a country we needed to invade, it was Iran. Oh well, we were only off by one letter...

I disagree. The Saudi's are far more dangerous than Iranians. Look at their political and religious landscape. Look at where the money comes from for a lot of the mis-deeds in the middle east (hint: it's Saudi Arabia) Look at where the Bush family has their deepest connections. It's one screwy tangled spider web of a mess with a little nuclear power added for seasoning. |
No doubt Saudi Arabia is a potential problem, but it's not as pressing as Iran. The House of Saud is an ally of the U.S., albeit a delicate and tangled one. The problem is all of the radical fundamentalists who want to overthrow the royal family and impose theocratic rule. If they are successful in overthrowing the House of Saud, then yes, I'd agree Saudi Arabia would go right to the top of the list. For now, as long as we can keep the royal family propped up there, they can be contained, at least until the Iran crisis is dealt with.

We don't make hardly anything any more -- China makes it for us.
Our trade deficit with them is huge. If they refuse to sell to us we would take such a huge economic nose dive.
They are getting more entrepreneurial all the time -- actually inventing instead of making. They're a building up their army. They have hundreds of missles aimed at Taiwan (our other manufacturing buddy).
How many billion is the population of China? If they march, who's going to stop them?
Oil at $6.00 a gallon. It really should be that price already. Europeans and Asians pay much more per liter. We've just gotten off easy. And I say that as a guy whose car gets 12mph (on the highway!).

Fukken Chineese, some bodies gotta take care of them once and for all. This threat has been overlooked long enough. Fukkers.....oooh I hate them!!!
They fukken always act so calm....that shit drives me crazy!
Then they always correct you, "No sir, number twelve comes with beef."

Goddamn I hate those bastards, always trying to make shit and load it in them boats down there, you know at the dock.

It probably has something to do with Globalization and the fukken Asians.
Let them try and refuse to sell me something! FUKKEN TRY IT SHORTIE!!!!
Now look here Lee, you're gonna give me that GODDAMNED sand shovel and bucket for $7.50 or I'm gonna put my big gringo boot right in your ass!!!!!
Fukken Chineese, they are such a threat....
We should start building West Coast defenses now!

We don't make shit anymore. We're fukked. I guess the largest GDP in the world is not what we should reference, or being able to make a telephone call or shiting inside....

There is no shortage of long term threats, but the big question is who is the most pressing near term threat? While China certainly poses a potential long term threat, in the here and now they are still not the immediate threat that a nuclear Iran poses.
While it's true that China could crush us economically if they so chose, it's not in their own interest to do so, since they rely on U.S. consumers to buy their stuff. China is still a ways off from ramping up all of their own citizens into consumers that could make the nation self reliant economically. Therefore, the deficit game will continue.
The other thing about China is that it's not at all certain that they will be a threat in the long term. While they are currently a totalitarian regime, all the free trade between us and them, along with the internet, has had the effect of bringing with it western ideas and values that are transforming the way Chinese citizens, particularly the youth, believe a society should be. As the saying goes, free trade makes for free people, and the movement for more freedoms and democratic reforms that is taking hold in China will most likely continue until the last vestiges of Communism in China crumbles from the inside.
It's true that we've enjoyed relatively low gas prices here, but because of all the other structural economic problems we've developed here, a doubling in fuel prices regardless of how they came about would cause a near or major economic collapse.

Iran: I have no doubt Mr. Bush wants to bomb the shit out of Iran. That is his first plan every time no matter what else he says. We over-threw Afghanistan -- and that has gone so terribly well. We other-threw Iraq and that has gone so terribly well.
For months, there has been talk about our army being stretched to the limit. Soldiers are pulling multiple tours. Now we want to tackle Iran. That country is a full 1/3 larger than Iraq!
Want to drag Al-Qaida into Iran? Want to have a nuclear blast in the U.S.? Go ahead, bomb Iran with nukes.
BUT!! It was North Korea that was the "imminent threat" just a few months ago -- and we threatened to bomb them!

Yes, sadly, I have these thoughts sometimes myself. If we go down this road though, I would think it only fair to include certain people in the West who claim to be Christians. They would need to go also.Certain people have taken this Ideology/spiritual belief system and radicalized to the point that Jesus would not recognize it.
I'm afraid I put some ultra right wing "leaders" of the Evangelical "right" in the same boat with Osama and his Kind.
People have made attempts at pointing out the differences but, in my opinion, have Failed to do so.

Zach, I agree, but offer this as a possible alternative:
If there are thousands even millions willing to strap dynamite to themselves and march into our lives and kill themselves.... Where are they?
For 11/9 there were only what 20 men involved? Same with all the other "terrorist attacks" ... why only one or ten suicide people. Why not a hundred, or a thousand....?
It's very simple really. There just aren't that many folks actually willing to wrap themselves in dynamite and hit the button....
The fact that there aren't numerous attacks daily is proof of this... It would be insanely simple to bring the US or Canada to it's knees... just blow up a few levy's and airports at the same time... Poison some water sheds... done!
The reality is that they do not have the manpower or financial resources to do it...
There is a lot (aside from 11/9 etc.) of propaganda to keep our nation(s) living in fear.
Threat? Yes. But not as big as they want you to believe.

True, but the problem these days is not the number of people willing to carry out these kinds of acts, it's the fact that the technologies exist (nuclear, biological, chemical) to allow just one or a few determined people to wipe out large swaths of a population without needing an army of followers.
Many people think that the collapse of the Soviet Union made the world safer, but the opposite is true. It used to be that we knew precisely who had access to nuclear technology, and the club was a small and easily identified one. As the USSR broke up, parts of their nuclear arsenals and technology went on the black market to the highest bidder. We saw it when AQ Khan helped Pakistan achieve nuclear status,and God knows who else he sold the technology to. But it's no coincidence that the number of "known" nuclear powers in the world has jumped since the fall of the USSR, and it becomes anybody's guess anymore as to who and when someone new will pop up having acquired the technology.
So the danger isn't in the number of people with apocalyptic ideologies, it's in the idea of just one of them coming to power in a nation-state, or gaining access to technology that would allow an individual or handful of individuals to commit genocide.

On the front end of all these issues is one huge misjudgement after another regarding which Dictator we prop up at any given time and what we are willing to do to put Gas in our cars. I think very few people in Washington have the bigger picture in mind and it's likely that we are in a brutal period in the "learning curve" ..
There can be NO excusing the blowing up of Air planes or the whole sale destruction of human life for Ideology. None. But also, there is no excuse for not looking back honestly and seeing that we have made very bad choices in dealing with these people.
Our record is revealing. Uninformed and at times, brutal. Perhaps smarter people will be hired by the American public but, if history is an indicator, we might just be screwed.

Two very good points Zach. I agree.
I suppose my point was that as individuals we are not in that great a risk...
Theres safety in numbers, and our odds as individuals is pretty darned good.
Even a small army, with nukes/ chemicals strapped to busses, they could only take out a city or two at best before the entire desert over there is turned to melted glass.

Taking out a major city or two in the U.S. could mean millions of lives lost. To me, that's not acceptable losses, not to mention all the innocents who would be killed "over there" in a retaliatory strike. If that day were to come, the world would indeed be a very dark place.
As they say, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Personally, I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I think the Bush administration is one of the few administrations that has the balls to take preventative measures against our potential enemies. On the other hand, this administration is so damned incompetent at actually executing any plan that it ends up doing more harm than good.

But while doing that, maybe it's about time to remove this administration before they decide to make a live remake of Dr Strangelove in front of our sorry eyes.
I don't believe one second that those idiots at the White House are not seriously considering targeting Iran with Nukes.
Believe me, they are that stupid and dangerous.
The question is : "how long will it take for you to realise you are sorely mistaken letting Dubbya playing with the red button ?"
That said,
don't expect me to discuss any longer than that about this issue.
I'm tired to state the obvious.
You made a mess, you clean it, that is how I see things.
If you were a banana republic, I would ask my deputy to vote a "police" action to free your country and restore peace in the world, unfortunatly, you are the most powerful nation in the planet so there is nothing we can do right now but to wait for you to realise.
One can dream.

The Iranian nuke program has been going on since prolly the early eighties. It's easy to blame the current administration but this is one pimple that was gonna boil over no matter what.
"Those who control the spice..."
"Texas gold that is."
As a libertarian I'm disgusted. I'll vote when I get the chance but chances are the vote won't be a decision I made. Good people and government don't go together, the presidency could be chosen by lottery and chances are the qualifications would exceed the morons who are stupid enough to run to grant favors for their benefactors.

With all due respect Malice, there would be no France if it weren't for the United States... It may be that they (we) are war mongers, but at least they are on YOUR side.
And to the topic in general: It's only a matter of time until ALL the banana republics have Nukes. This is the long term issue. It will not be possible to contain all of them. What then? (I seriously dunno... I'm asking)
It may be that global nuclear war is inevitable... and the fact that it hasn't happened yet... well, you can probably thank the USA for that!
And as I can tell where this thread is heading, I will probably bail on any further comment.

OK respect is restored for Malice. Sorry I did not realize you were joking.
There is no way that the Bush would, or could, nuke Iran at this time so I cannot comment. What I do think is that they (Bush etc.) have learned to listen to the global community more. And I think that we will see the allied countries working more closely this time... (At least I hope so)

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Israel a "permanent threat" to the Middle East that will "soon" be liberated. "Like it or not, the Zionist regime is heading toward annihilation," Ahmadinejad said at the opening of a conference in support of the Palestinians. "The Zionist regime is a rotten, dried tree that will be eliminated by one storm."

On a good day (that means when our Plane Carrier : the Charles de Gaules is not in maintenance,that leave us six good monthes) I suppose we could invade Hawai (if we pick up a good surfing competition day, we might benefit from a surprise effect).
But I doubt the division Leclerc could take care of Texas without the Brits that are unfortunatly on your side (Why am I doing Tik style all of a sudden ?)

About this home team Idea. I like it. I like Nationalism and think it's very important that Americans feel comfortable cheering the home team on. I can't do this with the current people in charge.This is sad,dangerous and is GETTING US KILLED FOR NO REASON RIGHT NOW!!.Please understand my pointing out what dangerous fools these guys are IS because I'm for the home team. I love my country. A Lot. Just like we all do and I don't want us represented by freak Ideologues who are self fulfilling some bizarre prophecy.
I wont stop pointing my finger at Bush for going into Iraq. I wont because it would be un-American for me to not point out that I think he is as deserving of Jail as half the people there right now.
Look. It is very hard to believe that this Iran mess wont be miss handled. They understand this to well.I'm afraid the people in the Middle east who mean us harm, have some idea about who their dealing with now and this is bad news.
It will be a long time before Iran can have a bomb to drop anywhere. But, it will take only a few months for this administration to completely mishandle this mess.Just watch.
I just hope the number of voters goes through the roof. It will take a number of election cycles but some day, we'll elect great men and women again and the interest of the American people will be known to be nearly the same as the interests of the rest of the world.
When a Holy war is started, the participants must hold true to their ideology. I say we should not play that game. We should stay home and start closing the door.{I've been saying this for YEARS!} If Iran makes a violent move? OK, then?good bye to Iran perhaps but, the mess we have now? forget it. Mr. Bush has put us in the worst possible situation. Talk about someone who could give a shit about the Home team.

Ivan, nice last post brough.
Full time job and recording and mixing...fukk..don't have time to think or study the whole thread...
Malice,
The Texas hat rack cannot nuke Iran, it would be the U.S.
And we're not going to.
Your Frenchie guy there said something about nuking them too.
Your earlier post about this asshole fukkstain from Iran being a direct result of our foreign policy doesn't sit so well.
We had these discussions before and I think it's great to talk about it some more because I learn more here and expand my views rather than trying to digest the pap from Journalism majors....what interesting people.....and the people who make their livings from reacting to that pap are even more boring.
Wanting to nuke Israel and burn all of the men, women and children alive because of their race (or rather religion) has nothing to do with the Texas hat rack or Exxon.
I apologize for the lack of effort on my part to engage you to level which you deserve but I wanted to get a shot off to show my interest.

Terrorists like to hide behind the apron strings of their innocent masses. Ferreting them out has proved to me next to impossible. Perhaps by nuking a nation they will give up their terrorists or else they can be victims of genocide. That works for me. Wanting to kill people for their beliefs means we have to kill them first. I really don't see another alternative. Pussy talk to try to convince them otherwise will just get you ridiculed right before they put a bullet or bomb in your pacifist ass. It's clobberin time. |
Well, I could write for a week straight about why your post:
#1, Scares the hell out of me and
#2, Is proof that we are not thinking clearly.
Terrorists Do indeed hide behind their Masses. This makes it very hard to find them. The more important point though is, who are they. Why does a 12 year old boy grow up 4 years later to believe we are evil and Blowing himself up is the answer AND excepted by God him self? You can drop all the Nukes you want and still not have the answer to that question.
Some people, Like "The Texas Hat Rack" {I love that one}, Think the reason the young boy blows himself up is because he Hates Freedom. Or, at least his parents hate freedom.Who could believe that something so completely retarded could come from the mouth of an American President? Yikes.
Think about Poverty for a moment. Think about what it's done right here in our own country. Think about our inner city poverty and the violence it generates.Think about the young 12 year old boy who in 4 years will be selling Blow and packin' a "9" because there aint nothin' else to do. Is he dealin' and killin' because he hates freedom too?
I understand that the two are different but, consider this,,
When you mix Poverty that turns into desperation with bad religion, and some big plastic ugly "POWER" is poking around at your country and you are told they are "infidels", WHY these people become terrorists is, still somewhat a mystery but, it does shed some light on who they are..
You can go right ahead and blow this and that up all you want. You wont change nothin' except, we'll be at war for ever then. Which, some want because their mean and stupid. But Me? I'm not stupid. I don't want the kid in Iran to hate me. I don't want any of this, "I'm better" or,,, the one I love,, when your talking to someone, just generally talking and they feel it necessary to qualify,,," Well, I'm a Christian" as if this now makes them, I don't know what, "better".
It's all so ugly that millions of Americans who can barely read think they know who God is and that the bad people, "HATE FREEDOM".
Be afraid. Be very very Afraid.

Well I guess that's it then. I just got back from picking up an air conditioner to replace the one in the boys room because it went haywire. I took the Suburban downtown to pick it up. While I was there I ran into Ramy whose brother just got a job in Kuwait and will be working for a British company providing logistics from Eastern Europe. I also picked up an aquarium for the boys to put their turtles in because the one they have is too small. Jasmin gets back from New York next week since her time at university is over and I want to have her room done before she gets back. She will probably get an apartment in town if I put too much work into her room. Oh yeah I was going to stop and get some olives from my cousin but.....

Yes. I see your point. I don't disagree either. Let's all please take note of the following.. If we had not gone into Iraq and instead spent our time and Money building our Armed services and working in secret in their part of the world, we would be in a position right now to say,,

I don't think our foreign policy has much to do with it.

I really believe that and if you see these guys standing out in the sun with just a robe on and no hat holding a Kalashnikov and drooling I don't see how you could come to another conclusion.
I don't see how being ruthless or nuking...hey that's perverted....anyone is even a remote answer.
There are kids trying to get to school and a nuke would be very inconvenient.
The dictator, extremist in a box thing has been played out so many times since the Wall came down...

It would seem based on events since 1941 that an evolution is going on whereby America ass hammers two-bit dictators, when we beat their own people to them, and exports droopy drawers and wearing your hat in a non-functional manner.

I sent it out but I live in Europe and it will take forever to get it back.

As yet another aside.
With the exception of Japan every two bit dictator in the last hundred years does this ridiculous posturing thing before we usually arrest them or bomb them and then arrest them, or their own people kill them or turn them over.
What is up with that.
WE
Humanity, are weird.
The Japaneese just fukken sneak attacked us.
But everyone else gets in front of the camera and start shit talking. I find it....
odd....
Hitler would be in front of the kamera and the Neumann openly defying the future Allies and clearly stating how it was all a big shit sandwich and you're all gonna have to take a bite. Then, toward the end he started this "Total War" mularky.
Mussolini...same thing, he was shot by his own team and drug through the streets.
Ceausecu...shot by his own team.
Milosevic who talked loads of shit about the race needing to be perserved, was turned in by his own people after we put a few rounds into belgrade and his people had to chose between Coke and Nike and Rap music or more boring speeches.
Sadamn, Thumbed his nose at the Red, White and Blue, we shot his sons to death and arrested his ass.
Noriega....banged a machete on the podium...uh...then we arrested him.
Maybe that's the code. If you talk a load of shit you get arrested. If you don't make speeches and aren't quoted by major news outlets before you pull a Pearl Harbor....
We nuke ya.
Sometimes we just help ya get a grip and take a powder, Charles Taylor, Ferdinand Marcos, Khadaffy, Grey Davis...
Who'd I forget.
Do these fukknuts think if they raise the ante to nukes that the U.S. will suddenly stop in it's tracks?
Based on history over the last hundred years, does it make much sense to threaten your neighbors and the U.S.?
Castro, got away with the missle ploy during the cold war but once Russia went from Super Power to a giant used car lot you never heard him talking about burning America in a lake of Spiced Rum.....no way man, wanna buy a cigar?

Funny thing to note is how many of the "missles" that rolled across red square were actually steel tubes with fins on them. just there to make it look like they had lots of nukes. i know they had them people so don't tell me i am missing something, but the point is that props were valuable then.
i am not so sure they are valuable now.
this GOP group of cronies seems to have their agenda pre-planned and then they try to find news to fit it.
(Long sentence ahead)
Whatever they are planning they will say the opposite until it fits their needs to tell the slanted version of the truth that lets them make a lame excuse for whatever it is they were going to do in the first place.
Their truth is reminiscent of a kindergarten noodle necklace, and about as well put together. Sloppy and pathetic and only acceptable if you love the person who made it.
Kids going to school. Ya they don't deserve to die. So lets just kill everyone who is a muslim terrorist after the age of 18. I will send out a mailer.
Since it will only take a handful of them to get a refrigerator-sized Iran baked nuke into a country and blast a major metropolis into oblivion, I hope they all return their terrorist cards on time so we can send a death squad to their house.

danickst, I too am very very pissed at those who are willing to kill Innocent people in the public square. Especially when they do it in the name of some screwed up "take" on what WAS a GRAND religion. It's sad, and I DO think people can be educated out of these idea's though. I hope and pray they can be.
The first thing we face, that could be dangerous, right now is Iran. So, we are on the ground there now, you can bet on that. We CAN find out if they have a bomb. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise,, they can not hide a nuke. They can hide parts of a "program" but it is very very hard to hide the capability to throw them a long way and it's hard to hide blowing them up to make sure they work. We DO have time.
If different leadership we're in the White House and the Pentagon? I would be,,{Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm King, we still have a prez and stuff but, I'm king for this post. see? Like my Crown?
}um,, I would be considering telling Iran this,, " You will stop what you're doing now. Then, you will grant 1000 diplomatic entrant's to your country. They can come at random and look at what ever they want. If you don't do this, we are going to come GET your Nuke program."
The problem with this right now is the total lack of credibility attached to this white house.This is why you don't go to a place Like Iraq without. A reason, A plan,and overwhelming force, oh yeah and A PLAN, HELLO!!??!! anyhow,,
We should not do the kid gloves thing but, I'm here to tell you, {as King,of course} that the next time we use our military over there, we better not be kidding and we had sure as hell better listen to Generals who have been covered in blood about how to get it done. {there are not many left these days and many have been ignored by the pentagon.}
We need to be known for the "don't tread on me" semi-hawks we used to be."hey, we don't like war but if you hurt us or our friends? we'll kick your ass, BIG TIME!!}
Please note this is something we may NEVER get back!! See? Problem.
I think it's time to let the possible Civil war in Iraq take place. We will be blamed for this but that will be because we are partly to blame for it {Duh!} We have almost nothing to loose by starting to get out. As the Texas Hat Rack was told by lot's of smart people before we went into Iraq, "you will never do anything about how much these people hate each other" His Old man warned against this very thing.
So, I would be leaving.
I would be making every deal possible to get oil from everywhere I could except the Middle east. I would be moving way faster on alternative energy. If we were moving fast enough and I thought REAL things were being done, I would start drilling big holes all over the country. Yep, this Liberal hippie peace lovin' freak would drill for oil right in his own back fucking yard.
In General, I would want way fewer dealings in the Middle east. I would NOT I say NOT want a presence in Saudi either.
I'm all for the American way. Let people into our country legally but, not from States that are known for producing people who want to kill us. Yep. I said it. That's right. There is no reason to, nor is it written anywhere that we need to let people into this country willy nilly. It's stupid and it doesn't help the people who really want to come be Americans. People from certain countries MUST be looked at more closely. Call this what ever you want but I just think it's true.
Muslim Leaders with peace on their minds need to step up to the plate here and this will mean that they have some war's to fight amongst them selves. Our soul purpose in that part of the world should be making sure they can't/wont Nuke each other.
Close the door. For a while anyhow.
The UN is a mess and has about the same cred as OUR government right now. It needs rebuilding and I would toss a few nations out because, the word "United" should mean something. I'll leave it at that for now.
In general, what I'm saying is, we need to be tough. Really tough. BUT, we need to be smart. Really fucking smart. The smartest. Right now? We look like scared and weak, religious Ideologues out to take over the world. This is a fools game run by fools.
Tik's optimism is not miss placed. Given the history of the world to date, things could be way worse for sure but,, these are very very critical times. We don't have time to fuck around. This means we need new blood in Washington and this means people have to vote. Not JUST vote but, understand who and what they are voting for. I dare say that "W" won the last election based on votes cast by people who don't what's going on. He won a marketing campaign.
Random thoughts from your King sorry for the long post.

Dear Steve Jobs,
Enclosed, you will find a 13 floppy disk set of the Windows for Workgroups OS. You are going to need to learn about Windows, from the ground up. This will be done on what's called a 286.
You are lucky I don't have any punch cards.
Cordially,
William Gates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indoctrinated from birth... I don't think most of them are turn-around cases.
Killing infidels is not an elective course in Pawshasheraaer madrassa. It's written in the religious tome that they worship like a God, in itself.
Sun Tzu
Part One: 18-26
18. All warfare is based on deception.
19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.
20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
and crush him.
21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him.
If he is in superior strength, evade him.
22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to
irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.
23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest.
If his forces are united, separate them.
24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where
you are not expected.
25. These military devices, leading to victory,
must not be divulged beforehand.
26. Now the general who wins a battle makes many
calculations in his temple ere the battle is fought.
The general who loses a battle makes but few
calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations
lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat:
how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention
to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose.
In the above, did you imagine us the aggressors, or them?
Do not underestimmate what we are up against. Continue reading Sun Tzu, he has much to say about the enemy living among us, and how to infiltrate, and win without a shot fired.
We are losing without a shot fired.
The enemy knows much of Sun Tzu, I see it everytime a defeatist congressman stands up to blame us, and everytime the ACLU opens their mouth. Don't be indoctrinated into inaction. It's not a path to afford.

This is what, that is why.
Sun Tzu; The Art of War:
Part 13 1-2
1. Sun Tzu said: Raising a host of a hundred thousand
men and marching them great distances entails heavy loss
on the people and a drain on the resources of the State.
The daily expenditure will amount to a thousand ounces
of silver. There will be commotion at home and abroad,
and men will drop down exhausted on the highways.
As many as seven hundred thousand families will be impeded
in their labor.
2. Hostile armies may face each other for years,
striving for the victory which is decided in a single day.
This being so, to remain in ignorance of the enemy's
condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a hundred
ounces of silver in honors and emoluments, is the height
of inhumanity.

The whole concept of deception is a little too dark for me, althought I don't doubt it goes on in all political and war forums.
Funny because I said earlier that I saw nuking Iran as a viable option. I still do. Not because I actually want that, but because the threat of it will hopefully get them to pay attention. The minute they think we are too chickshit to do it, we have lost our edge.
They have to think we are crazy motherfokkers.
Then the "go in and take their nuke shit" thing becomes the way to go.
Then we just have to sit around and wait to see if they can kill enough of us or other innocents with regular crappy bombs and guns on their suicide runs.
I understand why some people hate us and in some ways they have a right to hate us. We are (about) 2% OF THE WORLD POPULATION USING (around) 25% OF ITS RESOURCES.
That is such a shameful statistic. America the gluttonous.
that plus we stole this land from a bunch of really sweet people, using tricks from the art of war booklet.
But this country is the defender of freedom and while our freedom may not be that ideal, it works.
We are a bunch of sexually repressed, materialistic, over-weight wallflowers wrt to the rest of the world. But we are also the most creative and innovative source of new stuff.
This religious war shit is very dangerous. Maybe sterilization drugs would be a solution.
I know I am not sounding like a liberal, but I still believe I am. I just don't want a bunch of deaths for generations to come because of a mutated religion. It is a disease. Diseases must be destroyed, not re-educated.

That should scare the crap out of Aboob Ajbamini-me.
Let me remind everyone who the president of Iran is, having taken hostages from our embassy, and holding them for 444 days.
Fundamentalist/Terrorist, it's not a dream! We are awake.
Anyone who'd think I want to live my life like this, is insane.

Hahah, of course, but you can have an opinion, no> In this day and age, everyone knows how to do it better than everyone else anyway...
Attention. This one may be different. We really don't know how primitive or advanced the Iranian nuclear program is. If I were a crazy dictator in a third world country I'd at least wait until I had a saber to rattle before I started rattling it... Either way, I'm on the fence about this situation. |
You make good points.
The problem is precisely about how meakened US military power is by now. Because Iran is trying to take advantage of the present situation weither they have nukes or not.
It's a win-win situation for them. They can be martyrs if US nuke them, they can be martyrs if US succeed in a conventional invasion (that will weakened US a little more), they can succed in defending themselves against an aggression (Iran is not Iraq, much more difficult to invade), or they can bid time if nothing is done to stop them in their nuclear program and eventually become an islamic nuclear power.
This time, I agree that the only solution is that the world in its globality puts an end to this.
But that is another thing Bush has done over the years : dividing the world, and Europe in particular for several reasons that even have nothing to do with Islamism.
Bush (and administration) , as predicted, made this world a very unsecure place, probably even more unsecured than during the cold war.

Don't think it for a second.
Iran? Hell, defeatists, and apologists just as well!
Yes, God knows, it's GWB's fault.
Do not listen to the media, they are just graduates of shitty university miseducations.

Hey all,
Miles, thanks for the reference to the Art of War.Also, I've read Chuck's op-ed stuff here and there, he's a smart guy and is over looked. FWIW, there have been a lot of really good conversations on some of the "Liberal Media" shows pointing out what a HUGE Problem Iran is and it's not taken lightly by the legit people reporting what I call News. You make very good points about the danger facing us and there can be no doubt that it's real. I just want you to know that I'm with ya on that.
About anything being W's fault. I understand that it's not his "fault" that a bunch of sick minded people want to kill us. I also realize that a whole bunch of things he's blamed for have nothing what so ever to do with him. I'll just restate my point: He is not now,nor will he ever be equipped to deal with these problems. He just is not a leader. He can't think for himself and is far far away from being a conservative.
That being said, I'm not one to stand by and let Iran develop Nukes. I'm saying, because we've made the choice we have already in going into Iraq, we have put ourselves in a bad position to deal with Iran effectively. We WILL now have the world, for the most part on our side when it comes down to dealing with Iran. Our Credibility gap though, has and will slow us down. Hopefully, when we decide to move on Iran, we will do so in a way that drives home a couple points that used to be unquestionably American but have been called into question over the last few years. This has to do with how and when we use our Military.
It used to be rather clear that we would not start our killing Machine unless it was going to be used in an overwhelming way. In other words, I think we should have said, " After 911, we want Sadam gone. Therefore, he will be gone. We are sending 450,000 troops into Iraq to do this and it will be done right." This, of course, is not what happened. We have fucked this up badly,by ANY measurement.It has been mishandled, I hope everyone understands this now. Again, there is NOTHING about how we did this, that worked. Nothing.
So, My big hope is, if we use our army, the people who decide how to do this are NOT the people who are there now...
Look, if we as a nation,decide to deal with Iran and we have Europe and most of the rest of the world on our side, then we should make short work of it ,, right? I mean, if there's a holy War coming whether we like it or not, then we should get moving.
I don't have the answer. If the truth IS, that no matter what we say or how hard we try to "talk" or "Teach", we will be forced into war, then we should start acting like it's WWIII. We should be dumping $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ into the war machine, getting into the country should be real hard, and we should Go get ALL the dictators in the world. We should say, " we are going to war with who ever we damn well choose. If you are not a democracy, we are coming to kill you now."
We either deal, or we don't.
I don't have the Answer. Sorry.

don't worry John, I have the answer. We shove a barbed stick up the ass of any leader that flaunts nukes at us. On TV in front of his cabinet. Problem solved. Kim Jung Il will be having rectal cramps just thinking about it.

option 1:
close the thread because an Irane, Chinese, Palestinian, Indian, Pakistanian, Ukrainian or even worse.. an american politic/dictator read this thread and will blow us up..
option 2:
close the thread because of too much desillusionated people with too much fear running around and tell others having fear is better...
option 3:
Switzerland should take over the world leadership and install a swiss world governement.. very neutral, on top I see the option for good cheese and choclate for everyone..
Tik - prime minister
Rankus - the man for the cheap but effective stuff (like finance-minister)
JJ blair - foreign politics (the world will have FEEAR.. warlord minister)
MR Charles DYE - our video specialist.. showing the problem areas in the world with a videotape how to mix things right
Fletcher - secret weapon commander.. he will press the red knob if he is pissed off.. I mean that would be a very nice end for the world
Ross Hoghart for all the religion related stuff and powercables around the world (minister of religion and powermanagement)
I will install myself in the pmtstudios and record some nice deathmetal while you reign the world..
I think that would be the best option so far.. option 3 (should I add a poll now??)
